Wasn't just Silva, back when DC fought Mir, he was bullying him around, but near the end of the third Mir landed a body shot that kind of had him in trouble, but it was too late by then. DC is kind of like Lesner. Weak in the bread basket.

2 knee Santos > Sea level Cain!

One thing about Masvidal getting the next shot would be turn around. At most he might have bruised his knee on Askren’s skull. Could easily be back in the gym tomorrow. If Usmani waits for Colby/Lawler winner he won’t fight again this year.

There’s no one else for Nunes to fight at 145. I mean, if she’s going to defend at that weight class a rematch is really the best fight to make, And I’m not saying Santos doesn’t deserve a rematch, but that was kind of a boring fight and the idea of watching it again isn’t all that interesting...

I don’t understand this need to label a fighter as either GOAT or can. Moose is a solid fighter. Great stand up, good BJJ, not so great wrestling. He also never seems to fight with a sense of urgency. Perpetual calm has its pluses and minuses like everything else. He’s an elite fighter but...

I don't subscribe to the eternal 'UFC is dying' motto, but I wonder if their move to ESPN+ might put a dent in their growth rate or even give it a slight decline in a few years. The double paywall thing isn't a big deal to current fans, because ultimately you end up paying the same for a card...

Aikido isn’t good for anything. Ever.

I’m going with Nunes but even so I think Holly has a path to victory and this is it. I think Nunes has improved her gas tank, but Holly ‘cardio machine’ Holm can still drag her into deep water and wear her out.

I don’t think he was cut. I think he just decided he liked fighting at home in Japan and went back after his contract was up.

It used to be that a guy had to lose a fight or two before someone declared them to be 'done.' Or maybe I just don't know what the word 'done' means anymore.

If by conned you mean paid a lot of money then yes. Not that I’m convinced this was a good long term move for the ufc.

I would have had a harder time believing they were still fighting a decade later.

His grappling and kicking games are great, his boxing not so much. His boxing defense is what gets him into trouble.

I think this is the biggest issue. I imagine they see it as an investment for their channel. Bring in the MMA fan base and hope they stick around for other sports. Considering how new ESPN+ is I'm betting it's going to operate at a loss for a few years. Hell, even Netflix still operates at a...

I remember 19 year old Vitor Belfort's debut. Smoking everyone with lightning fast hands.

I've said this before, the commentating now is more precise and insightful, but I'll be damned if having Rogan and Goldie screaming out of my tv didn't have me on the edge of my seat for the entire card. Maybe it's better now, but it's a lot less exciting. I think overall it was a mistake to...

The future of fighting apparently is anything that does not involve mentioning Dustin Porier.

Chin isn’t going to decline at all compared to TJ fighting over the next two years. If he maintains his training and doesn’t overdo the sparring (a la chute box back in the day) he should come back fine.

I'm not a huge McGregor fan but I think it's a fight that makes sense for Tony as well. High profile. Probably gets him paid as much as a title fight would. Fighting anyone else is all risk and no reward. Really in the end, as a professional fighter, you need to make money off your fights...

I think Conor still gives Dustin problems. Dustin tends to drop his hands when he’s moving forwards throwing and Conor is a fairly heavy handed counter puncher. Styles make fights and in this case Conor has a good style to beat him. And if you check my post history you’ll see I’m far from a...
