Absolutely moronic thing to do. Tap and fight another day. This means he's on the shelf for no good reason.

A cautionary tale in MMA. I have no doubt Kelvin was a world class contender at welterweight. At worst he would have been solidly top 5, at best a champion. Those years are all gone, he's got a ton of mileage and isn't still improving. Brady out classing him knowing exactly what Kelvin does...

This is the correct answer and TS is making an attention thread. Anybody with eyeballs and basic knowledge of MMA knows that people react when Costa hits them. He also swings for the fences. Overall inactivity and an absurd strength of schedule is why this argument cannot be settled on paper...

Vettori nearly put away Cannonier in a straight boxing round to start their fight. He suffers from pretty bad overall fight IQ but his striking is perfectly competent.

To be clear, 86% going to the promoter is absolutely ridiculous at face value. The big name guys like Conor are getting ripped off the worst, their split of the revenue is highway robbery. However the big name guys don't have to have second jobs and beg live on PPV for measly bonuses. The...

This is what it boils down to. The reason we shuffled around middling skilled old farts in the upper weight division is because the pay is atrocious. Its 12k show to get brain damage while the promoter keeps 86% of the money generated. We don't get suitably young, suitably gifted athletes...

Islam is probably one of the best counter strikers in the division and far ahead of Khabib in overall striking. Volk is a higher caliber and more well rounded opponent then anyone Khabib fought. I don't even think its close. There should be no question that Islam would comfortably beat...

Both guys are out of their prime and coming off the shelf. Whoever looks worse is probably going to lose. Two big hitters without great cardio. IMO Chandler takes him down and hurts him on the ground. He doesn't need to kickbox with him unless he wants to.

He didn't leave the cage swearing, he gave an in-cage interview where he was chilled out and humble and he thanked and congratulated Robbie. Nick needed neck surgery and the paycheck, so he went in and took his beating for it. He didn't belong in there, we all saw how Nick fought when he was...

Nick will be 41 years old and hasn't won a fight in 13 years. Professional fighters have turned pro, had a full career and retired in the time since Nick last won. If you follow Diaz on instagram its obvious he's in decent cardio shape and training, as opposed to having a belly flopping over...

Good luck and fast recovery

Anderson was not an impressive MMA adapted grappler and even by UFC standards, his wrestling credentials were unimpressive. For those who don't know, he was a jr college and later Division III wrestler. This is completely unremarkable. People saying he 'out wrestled DC' are high. DC would...

Yan blew his knee, he's not fighting anytime soon.

Both guys are nasty and this will be a fun one. People saying Fig should wrestle may not be factoring the size gap. Fig has firepower at 135lbs but he's not going to be big in there. Chito will have an easier time counter grappling a smaller opponent. We so rarely see Chito get HURT. He's...

So far he's fought exactly two ranked fighters, and he looked completely beatable in both of those bouts. We already know Khamzat looks great fighting low quality opponents.

That was Joe Rogan -vs- Ice level of crazy random MMA lore. HARD rolls his ankle in the cage just before the announcements. Wild.

This is the entire story. Islam is a world class MMA adapted striker. He just head kick KO'd Volk and you can clearly see him setting it up a minute prior. His striking against Charles looked outstanding. I honestly don't even know that I'd pick Dustin if they agreed to have a MMA gloves...

Laquinta went 8-2 in the UFC up to his short notice whollaping by Khabib. In that run he beat Kevin Lee, Pearson, Lauzon, Masvidal and a nice first round KO over Diego Sanchez. He would of course casually beat the shit out of Kevin Lee a second time. IMO probably a solidly top 10 talent had...

Barboza has been a punching bag for a lot of his UFC career. Peak of his career was fighting Khabib after a short win streak, and he's gone 5-8 since then. He shouldn't headline a card and Murphy casually beat the shit out of him with virtually no fear of repercussion. Suppose he should have...

Where do you people come up with this stuff? You just made up a story in your head. Sean is world class, legit top 5 and arguably the best point fight in the sport right now. That has nothing to do with him saying nonsense to Belal, who is one of the most proven welterweights right now. Sean...
