Jiri is awesome. I'm a big Periera fan but if anyone were to win the belt over him I'd hope it's Jiri. They are really keeping LHW interesting, without them it'd be a stinky division

Depends on how you look at things. Pereira as a combat sports athlete as a whole? Probably. But in MMA it's debatable depending on how much you value consistency/longevity over peaks. I would say Pereira's peaks are as high or higher than Izzy. Izzy clearly has the far superior longevity which...

I agree. Legit feels like a warrior walking into battle. Given his demeanor and style of fighting you know he’s going in there to kill or be killed and that he’s down for it.

300 by far. The fights were the best. Even on paper I was looking way more forward to it than 100 and 200

How did Nong-O look? Will have to look up the fights when they are up on Youtube

I enjoy Ariel Helwani’s show and content, I think he’s by far the best overall interviewer in MMA and has done overall very great things for the sport. But, he does try to stir the pot and also get fighters to answer questions when they sometimes are showing obvious signs of not wanting to...

For me it’s 300 100 200 200 was almost amazing but the card fell apart and that yellow canvas is ugly af for the UFC. I was not too hyped for 100 too tbh. Did not care much for Lesnar and GSP was so much better than anyone else I only ever picked against him hoping to see something new happen...

I think she does a good job. If I were to make a list of who I prefer the most as commentators/broadcast people out of the current roster I'd probably have her within the top 5. She doesn't make the viewing experience much better but she also doesn't detract from it at all. I feel like there are...

My GOAT

Such a cinematic KO lol. Beautiful violence with the immediate recognition and bow. Real samurai shit

This lol Idk yet who I’m picking to win and by what but people still have this “they have an iron chin and never been KOd” mentality that makes no sense to me. We’ve seen basically every legendary un-KOable chin get cracked. Chito has had ton of fights and training camps- the chin is not...

FLW historically has not been handled well at all by the UFC. On top of that it does not help that there have been butchered weight cuts, and other unforeseen events that make the title contention unclear Horiguchi would have an immediate positive effect if he gets signed. Sign him and have...

KZ v Poirier Big Nog v Couture

Sonnen 2. Obviously hindsight but he really didn’t have much else to do at MW aside from rack up more title defenses on a record he already held and if he wasn’t gonna commit to LHW. But his popualrity sky rocketed during the Sonnen/Belfort era so I don’t blame him at all for fighting more...

Looking forward to TS' next thread where he addresses another elephant in the room. Alex Pereira hit hard.

Pantoja v. Horiguchi is an awesome matchup and I'd be super interested in that fight but sadly that would not do much for most casuals. That would be a great co-main event for another title fight.

TUF7 is probably overall still my favorite. Only sort of "downside" to that season is that the season winner doesn't really end up having a great run in the UFC but still it's a great season and the winner had the greatest TUF run in history imo.

He fought a smart fight. I don't know if that performance raises his stock a ton but I don't think it hurts it either. Geoff Neal is a tough fight for most guys and not everyone can survive/run that same gameplan against him. I don't get Ilia Topuria prospect type of vibes from him but I do...

He's one of my favorites. Great fighter and usually in fun fights, and seems like a decent guy

Well said fellow Reina enthusiast. Tbh I am looking forward to UFC300 way more than I did 100 and 200. Personally, I never really thought Brock was the hypest thing ever. The matchups on 100 and 200 weren't anything too special. And the fights did not really play out too well either. Most...
