Benjamin Posted September 10, 2022 Report Share Posted September 10, 2022 It’s about 6 years too late, but I’m so glad we’re getting what we’re getting instead of the shit they tried to feed us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draevyn Posted November 13, 2022 Report Share Posted November 13, 2022 Last night's card has to be considered one of the best of the year. Some really great fights from the Early Prelims right to the main event. Sad to see Frankie go out the way that he did but I strongly believe he shouldn't have even been in that fight so I really hope this is finally it for him. Porier/Chandler was absolute fire. I have never figured out how Esparza keeps winning like she does, because I've never seen her as being a great fighter, and Zhang basically showed why I've thought that for a bit. Absolutely steamrolled her. The main event was a surprise even with the hype about Pereira holding a Kickboxing win over Izzy. I absolutely did not give him a chance in hell of pulling out the win and yet... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benjamin Posted November 14, 2022 Report Share Posted November 14, 2022 The Diamond prevailing is always the highlight of the year. Would really hate for him to be fed to Dariush, though. That guy deserves a title shot 100% before July, hopefully Volk or Islam gives it to him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You say "fed to" but I actually see Poirier winning that fight. I feel like it would be Dariush getting fed to Poirier in that one. Also on a sad note, Anthony "Rumble" Johnson passed away recently due to Cancer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been counting Dariush out every time he gets matched up (and eventually the fight falls out). I honestly thought there was no way he'd survive Gamrot, and he handled him. Legit think he's the only one at 155 that can give Islam some problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Kirk Posted December 6, 2022 Report Share Posted December 6, 2022 How is Darren Till still ranked in the top 10? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draevyn Posted December 6, 2022 Report Share Posted December 6, 2022 UFC have always been a bit weird, but honestly he probably won't be there much longer. The Middleweight Division is kind of in turmoil. I feel like Middleweight and up has kind of become stagnant with a few coming here and there that are exciting. The lower weight classes seem to be much more competitive in keeping your spot. Hell I'd forgotten who the Heavyweight Champion was when I watched Pavolovich dismantle Tuivasa. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cymbols Posted December 25, 2022 Report Share Posted December 25, 2022 I’m quite sad about this one. The sport owes him a lot more than it has ever given him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IDOL Posted December 25, 2022 Report Share Posted December 25, 2022 Damn, I was so into UFC and MMA at the time of the first few TUF seasons. This really hurts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draevyn Posted December 25, 2022 Report Share Posted December 25, 2022 That is definitely rough. I have been a fan of UFC since the original start in the 90's but the fight between him and Griffin is when I really started to get into it even more to the point where I didn't really miss an event. I feel the same as Cymbols in that I feel like the sport owes him more than he ever got from it. I love Forrest but I feel like he got way more credit for that fight than Bonnar did but both of them went to war. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dang117 Posted December 25, 2022 Report Share Posted December 25, 2022 Sad to hear, him and Forest Griffin were two off the fighters who got my interested in ufc in the first place Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLiam Posted January 3, 2023 Report Share Posted January 3, 2023 Well. Who would have thought that Dana White likes to hit women? Twitter filled with “well it was self-defence”. Toxic masculinity is really fucking wild. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cymbols Posted January 5, 2023 Report Share Posted January 5, 2023 MMA is a sport which is especially bad for access equaling favourable coverage, so it has been real interesting to see which sites and reporters have, and haven’t covered this one. Credit where due, as much as I don’t like Ariel Helwani’s style of reporting, he is doing a good job of calling for White to be held accountable (while also acknowledging that it will never happen). Kevin Iole on the other hand, wrote what I think is the worst fluff piece I’ve seen in a long time. Usual suspects barely touching it beyond the TMZ rewrite, poor form. Dude should be axed, but instead he’ll continue like nothing happened, which includes the upcoming launch of the Power Slap League - which as well as being a terrible idea, is absurdly bad optics at this time.

Admin Lineker Posted January 15, 2023 Admin Report Share Posted January 15, 2023 So Jon Jones is going to fight for the vacant heavyweight title because the UFC is a joke now. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris2K Posted January 16, 2023 Report Share Posted January 16, 2023 The reason its vacant is that Francis Ngannou has left the UFC and vacated the title, turning down astronomical money to go and do other things. Those other things appear to be a 2 fight series with Jake Paul, one boxing, one MMA. So on the plus side, we may get to see Jake Paul get absolutely wrecked. But yes, Jones does not deserve a fifth chance, having burned through any potential good grace his talent affords him again, and again, and again, and again. Whoops, I forgot one of his many drug test failures. Sixth chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidMarrio Posted January 16, 2023 Report Share Posted January 16, 2023 I hope Ngannou gets paid whatever he ends up doing. Can see him and Fury trying to set something up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
