    Is Khamzat Chimaev vs. Robert Whittaker the most anticipated upcoming fight?

    Most anticipated to me is Topuria vs Holloway. IMHO neither Khamzat nor Whittaker stands much of a chance in beating DDP so the fight is not very exciting to me.

    Herb made a bad call in Michal/Holland

    The injury is probably already career-ending, torn ligaments are harder to recover from than broken bones. Oleksiejczuk is fucked and that's a good thing, people like him who are too stupid to tap have no business learning MMA.

    News Michal Oleksiejczuk says he didn't suffer a broken arm in loss to Holland, thinks Herb Dean's call was incorrect

    Torn ligaments are a worse injury than broken bones and more difficult to recover from...... maybe Oleksiejczuk will understand he should have tapped when he realise his career is over.

    What makes you think that Costa won't do to strickalnd what he did to Romero?

    Assuming you are talking about Costa, obviously because Strickland refused to fight if it is not 5 rounds. In his mind why should Costa be rewarded for losing to Whittaker with a fight against a higher ranked opponent?

    News Strickland vs Costa is 5 rounds according to Eric Nicksick

    Strickland is happy to give rounds away and let his opponents pressure him. The question is how long Costa can pressure Strickland cause Costa does not have great cardio and is known to slow down latter in fights. Which is when Strickland can take control of his opponents.

    Why is everyone here so against Stipey collecting a paycheck?

    I do think it is a shame we never got to see Stipe vs Ngannou III, and even minus that there are spicy matches Stipe can have with the likes of Bladyes and Gane that we will never see. I think it is a shame Stipe sat out his career after getting beat by Ngannou.

    Best examples of a fighter nullifying great footwork

    One of the best example is Topuria vs Volkanovski. It really did seem in the first round that Volkanovski was going to run away with the fight, the manner Topuria trapped him was impressive.

    People are sleeping on Shamil, he did not look good in his last fight but he dominated Gane in Sparring

    Is Shamil being Gane's main sparring partner why Gane got destroyed by Jones?

    I have a lot of questions about the upcoming Max Holloway vs. Justin Gaethje fight..... (headstrong matchup)

    It is clear that Ali tried to get a payday for both Islam and Justin in the Saudi Arabia card originally in March and the UFC told him to go pound sand. Saudi Arabia in return has told the UFC to go pound sand and now all parties are in a difficult position. The UFC probably doesn't want to make...

    News Francis Ngannou's MMA Return Vs Renan Ferreira + Co-Main: Cris Cyborg vs Larissa Pacheco Announced

    Donn Davis looks like a complete deer in headlights, the reality is that it's probably easier to get Ngannou to fight for the PFL than Cyborg considering how much she has been shitting on Davis. And Ngannou right now clearly wants to pretend the PFL doesn't exist.

    MMA Guru Speaks his truth on Francis KO

    The truth is that Fury should have destroyed Ngannou even worse than Joshua did, but he got paid to throw the fight. Ngannou in the end probably doesn't care cause he got paid and can retire tomorrow. He won in the end too. The ones we should be laughing at is the PFL cause there's a good...

    Late stoppage?

    Nah Burns was defending himself, it would have been harsh to stop the fight.

    Media Is Strickland a draw now?

    Strickland is already a bigger star than O'Malley, he's currently the UFC's biggest draw not named Conor or Islam or Jones. Win or lose he's already a superstar.

    Strickland is going to embarrass DDP badly.. Mark my words

    Till and Brunson were past it by the time they fought DDP. Whittaker was uncharacteristically poor against DDP and showing signs of being past it too. Just being able to fight Cannonier in a competitive fight is something that's probably beyond DDP's ability.

    Media MMA community including Chael Sonnen seems to be picking Strickland

    Dricus is funny because the more he is gassed out, the better his fighting actually gets. He tends to throw less haymakers and be more of a technical counterpuncher when he is gassed out. And he is more dangerous when he is that. That said, I am not sure he has anything much that Strickland...

    Does Shavkat Rakhmonov have potential to reach GOAT level status?

    Ankle ligament tear is no joke, he has a long road ahead to recovery. He is probably not going to be the same fighter after such a major injury. Before that it does seem like he's an inevitable UFC champ.

    Bragging rights: Strickland vs Du Plessis - who wins and how?

    Fight has an extremely high chance of going to decision. You just need to see the Strickland vs Cannoneir to know that DDP is going to be punching a wall or the air for most of the fight. Unless you believe DDP can sub/GnP Strickland (who is no slouch in grappling) or that Strickland can Abus...

    Media MMA community including Chael Sonnen seems to be picking Strickland

    DDP is no Khamzat, him taking down Whittaker seems to have made people forget his more clumsy wrestling efforts in his earlier fights. I think the intelligent thing for him to do is to strike for 3-4 minutes then shoot in the last 1-2 minute, in a close fight this could allow him to steal rounds...

    DDP v Strickland - Who you got & Why?

    DDP's style is in its core super inefficient; he wants distance from his opponent and makes big movements to ensure that. Doesn't matter how good his cardio is, he will 100% gas out against Strickland if the fight gets past round 3. Simply because Strickland's style is far more energy efficient...

    Rumored proposed fights for the card they offered Saudi Arabia:

    They obviously tried to make Islam vs Gaethje for the card, but Ali knew that he had the UFC by the balls and tried to get a payday for both of his clients. Both Gaethje and Islam knew that they have nothing to prove and no rush to fight again anyway. Which is why the UFC is trying to freeze...
