Fury won his fight against Ngannou, so I guess he didn't collect on that money?

He reminds me a bit of Cain Velasquez on the come-up. The skills aren't an exact match, but the ease with which he's blowing through every successive test is similarly scary.

Since long before either was a fighter. They were college roommates, no?

At least his grip on reality is consistent.

Wait. what? It was a massive scandal. It was the Story of the Year on the site you're posting on right now, and the voting wasn't even close.

The greatest Christmas song ever: The second greatest Christmas song ever: The third greatest Christmas song ever: If Die Hard is a Christmas movie, this is a Christmas song:

"No problem" might be overstating it. Have you ever met the guy face to face? He isn't quite as tall as Johnny Walker, Ryan Spann, or Kennedy Nzechukwu, but he's absolutely titanic. I would guess his walking weight was higher than any of those guys beside Walker. And yes, Walker makes 206, but...

2023 Strickland with 2017 Strickland's knees would be plenty. He used to be a good wrestler who just didn't use it enough.

His wins are like those subatomic particles that disappear if you look directly at them. He's better than some of the inflated-record CIS prospects that have come to North America (he isn't Askar Mozharov), but I'm very wait-and-see about him.

Do you mean where they come from originally, or where they go to train? If you're talking about training, COVID concentrated a ton of talent in Vegas, because so many fighters wanted to be nearby in order to be able to fight in the UFC on short notice (or simply not to risk illness or travel...

Assuming he doesn't disqualify himself by winning a major title, Jung is in the holy trinity of most obvious shoo-ins for the Hall of Fucking Awesome among still-active fighters, along with Matt Brown and Justin Gaethje.

Oh man, and this was not even the biggest nuke Eddie dropped on him during this press run: "Conor's got two kids on the way...and Dee ain't havin' twins!"

Not to hawk my own wares, but the link in my sig features several guys who have been mentioned in this thread. Also, great call on Karo. He ended up underachieving, but for a while he was the Cro Cop of judo. Just like Mirko was the first guy to do what we always hoped it would look like when...

Naw. Hell naw.

I've been called an idiot plenty of times before, and sometimes I probably deserved it, but I object in the strongest possible terms to being classified as a YouTuber.

Amanda Nunes has stoppage wins over every woman who has ever held a title at BW or FW in the UFC or Bellator, except for Pena, and she has a 50-43 type beating of Pena. Nunes beat the second greatest bantamweight woman of all time in under a minute, she beat the second greatest featherweight...

It's definitely far more rare among women. Leaving aside whether they are less prone to CTE for biological reasons, which I am not qualified to say, there are plenty of obvious reasons that don't require a PhD to describe. They are smaller and fight smaller opponents; think of how few of the...

Am I missing the joke here?

It's definitely Dariush's worst performance in years, but don't forget that (kind of like Oliveira himself) Benny had a career phase where he kept losing badly to much less talented fighters, and often it was down to fight IQ. He gave Alexander Hernandez the only kind of fight he had a prayer of...

I would have favored Couture at the time. Jones was really, really raw. His striking, in particular, had a long way to go.
