    Are you an Ankalaev fan?

    A supporter here, very solid fighter. Takes little damage, fights efficiently and gets it done. A smart approach, contrary to some people's opinion. He seems not in favor with your average ufc viewership (and this forum) though. Thoroughly understandable.

    Even though Alex P is the more skilled striker, I have a weird feeling he’s getting KO’d by Jiri

    Durability is all this fight will come down to. I see JP having an advantage there, unless the lay off time had and effect on that.

    Alexander Volkanovski does NOT have a 71" reach

    Regardless numbers, you can tell he has above average reach for the weight class and uses it very well. If not convinced, look at the Holloway fights. This was a big factor in him out striking Max with relative ease.

    Israel will never be same again. Its Over.

    I still think Adesanya is the better fighter, however, this makes you think how much of a fighter's success in any weight class is the product of pure physical advantage of some sort, with reach probably being the biggest advantage. Also worth noting Adesanya's chin to power ratio for a lanky...

    It sucks that Khabib retired before this current wave of grapplers came

    I'm waging some people in here haven't watched Gamrot vs Arman's incredibly pace fight.

    Chito Vera smashes Dominick Cruz in San Diego!!.. thoughts

    Some absurb bias in here. Cruz never had anything for Vera, nothing to make him retreat at any point. Vera kept walking down an always defensive Cruz and was never in any danger. It was just a matter of time before Vera found his mark. I don't know how you could score any rounds for Cruz...

    Agree or disagree: Prime Dom would just be another great top BW in this era

    I tend to think the striking level is higher across the board these days. It was painful to watch those wide open hooks of Cruz, swinging at thin air most times and I understand why he succeeded years ago with a more wrestling based game. Vera is well rounded, has clean technique and is very...

    Is Whittaker going to make the fight with Izzy more competitive than last time?

    If there wasn't such a big reach difference and the tendency to counter instead of brawling I'd say this fight could look like the Gastelum fight, at least in terms of Whittaker's approach to it.

    News Paul vs Woodley Confirmed

    I had assumed it's public knowledge or at least pretty evident these are nothing but fixed fights but by reading the comments it looks I've been wrong all along.

    Mocking Izzy for losing a close decision is actually quite pitiful

    This place is full of falsehoods. Izzy being completely dominated is false as is also false him being this brave true martial artist testing himself in a heavier weight class. Adesanya clearly lost a decision (not embarrassed by any means) to an underdog in what was a calculated marketing move...

    Adesanya was supposed to be fighting for his legacy and stuff...

    Controlled? How? It looked to me like Romero had Israel reacting to his movements constantly, took the center most of the time and had Israel spamming leg licks from the outside very timidly and getting taken down a couple of times.

    Israel running away from Romero

    For the record I thought Romero was going to win a split decision, however, for me this fight further solidifies a few unwritten rules: - Judges aren't going to reward an apathetic / very low output performance like Romero's with a decision. - On the other hand, the fighter that looks busier...

    So, in my 53 years, the world has changed drastically.

    I disagree to an extent. I think the speed in the advances of information technologies and its mass adoption far outpaces the advances in other areas of technology where there hasn't been changes as dramatic.

    Cerrone is +190, odds makers not very confident in Connor

    Records aside what I think is relevant here is level of activity. If Cerrone really wanted to win this one he's got clear pathways. Take it to the ground, make this a war, bet on wearing out connor etc. The question is whether he's got that motivation or even more whether he's got an incentive...

    News Khabib: "I want to return but next year and in Russia"

    It's a known fact that fighters make the most money as champions with or without fighting. So it only makes sense to stretch this status for as long as possible taking the least amount of risk possible. You'll see then "tactics" like hard balling negotiations, illness, injuries, surgeries and...

    Most overrated acting performance of all time

    If anything that movie was fun while Ledger was on screen. Remember these are comic book characters we are talking about

    'I can't get him off me'

    I think there were a couple of interesting bits in this fight despite how straightforward it looked for Khabib. Dustin's couch (Mike Brown?) was saying to him to take the center. He did briefly at the beginning of round 2 and clipped Khabib, then he was so exhausted from round one that he...

    Breaking Bad, The Sopranos, Game of Thrones or The Wire?

    In retrospective Breaking Bad was so enthralling, captivating, well acted, entertaining, amusing and suspense ridden that I've since been trying to find something similar to no avail. Quality of writing was very consistent and every move in the show was very well thought out and would provide...

    ia GOT S8 really that bad ?

    What's disappointing is the lack of basic logic and consistency within itself, not the choices the writers could have decided for each story line. It really downgrades the original material quality. All this without losing sight we are talking about a tv show here, not about a major artistic...
