    Other than Fedor, who was the biggest missed UFC signing ever?

    I'm going with the biggest "What If" in MMA history.....

    Potentially, The Most Entertaining MMA PPV Ever Is Going Down Tonight!

    I was shocked to find out this event Sold Out the 5000 seat "Field House" it was held at, in Williamson, WV. Apparently, winning fighters took home $500, and the loser got nothing. Whoever is the promoter for this apparently knew what the clientele in his area wanted to see.

    Potentially, The Most Entertaining MMA PPV Ever Is Going Down Tonight!

    Forget UFC 285. In the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains, in West Virginia, you could potentially see the most action packed, entertaining MMA card ever produced!! I have to say, if every show put forth Promos like some of the examples below, the ticket sales would probably double! Not...

    Former UFC champion Quinton Jackson says he knows fighters have taken dives for money: “There’s been

    Rampage was involved in a "questionable" Pride fight himself against Sakuraba. A lot of people have speculated that Rampage threw that fight. **I've also heard this rumor for years....That a major UFC upset, which happened years ago, was set up to further the Company's progress, in a time...

    The game has passed Conor by

    Just realize this.....Conor McGregor is 32 years old now, with over 25 Pro Fights. In "fighting age," he's more like 37 by that regard. The estimate now is that if you begin training in your teens, your fighting Prime is estimated around 27 or 28 years old, and the decline begins after that. No...

    Looking back how exactly did Elias do so well?

    Well, Since you asked.... He was above average on the mic, can actually play the guitar well, and had a good catch phrase, just not a great wrestler overall...

    News RIZIN 26 Asakura vs Horiguchi 2 Set For Dec 31

    It isn't officially a New Year's Eve event in Japan, without a good old "Freak Show" type fight on the card....So, Considering 2020 has been so crazy, let's add a good one to this event. How about: Bob Sapp vs Dan Quinn LOL, you have to admit, you couldn't turn away from that one.

    Social As NBA ratings mysteriously fall, UFC ratings rise.

    The NBA has put it's stamp all over the world now, with multi-continent leagues, but to say it's on a consistent rise is false....at least in it's biggest market, of the US. In the US, they're viewer ratings have declined 45% since 2010. The ratings for MLB and the NFL has pretty much remained...

    Media Werdum says Fedor will always be his son

    You do realize, that when we saw the best version of Fedor, as Pride HW Champ, Pride was the best MMA Organization in the World at that time. Each Pride class/division had much more talent than the UFC at that time frame, top to bottom. From probably 1999-2005, the UFC as a whole was the...

    Media Derrick Lewis made his MMA debut against Mitch from The Spirit Squad (WWE)

    Give the former Pro Wrestler credit.....probably threw more strikes at Lewis in a 3 minute round than Ngannou did the whole fight.

    News Michael Bisping CLAPS BACK at Henderson. ***warning: highly abusive foul language***

    Why is Bisping trying to brag about beating Hendo in the rematch....Hendo couldn't accept his purse for that fight, because he had just started drawing Social Security.

    Who has a better shot against Usman in the rematch?

    Personally, I think Burns still deserves the next Title shot. Perfect scenario for me is to let Colby and Masvidal fight a "Title Eliminator" to get the winner of Usman vs Burns.

    Did Marty go easy on Masvidal?

    All good points....but yeah, I do myself consider the "Elite" guys the Top 2-3 in a Division. I'm not saying Top 10 fighters are "bad" fighters at all, I'm just saying those Top 2-3 guys per Division seem to have something extra that separates them from the rest, and puts them head and shoulders...

    Did Marty go easy on Masvidal?

    LOL at all the comments....I'm 39 years old and been watching this sport since a teenager, back when we had to watch UFC PPVs off bootleg satellite boxes, or wait to rent VHS, yes-VHS, tapes of the early PPVs...You younger fans just have to realize that there are "levels" to this game, just as...

    Prime Fedor would’ve been UFC champ with 10+ defenses

    Obviously....for you "young-uns" that don't know..... When Fedor was in his "best years," Pride was the best MMA Organization on the planet. At this time, the UFC was more the equivalent of what Bellator is now, just maybe a little better. Considering all the top HW fighters were in Pride, and...

    Rogain being Nobrain about COVID-19...again

    Here is what people forgot: **April of 2009-April 2010: H1N1 Pandemic: United States Alone: Estimated 60.8 Million Cases, 274,304 Hospitalizations, 12,469 Deaths: Rate: 1 of Every 5 People Contracted This in the U.S. Worldwide Deaths During This Time Period: Estimated 151,700-575,400...

    Would Khabib have stood a change against prime Sherk?

    No, as someone who really got into MMA during the early 00's, Sherk would struggle with Khabib. Sherk has an impressive stat on his record, being that his losses are only against former UFC Champions, but look at his total resume: He only has maybe 5-6 fights against high level fighters, and he...

    Fury vs Wilder II Full Fight

    Ok, any clue who actually called this fight live then? Or was there different commentators depending on if you bought the PPV through ESPN or Fox sports?

    Fury vs Wilder II Full Fight

    Good Lord, didn't realize how badly we miss HBO's PPV crew. This commentary was painful to listen to....I know Jim Lampley, Larry Merchant, and Harold Lederman are up there in years now, but they all 3 would still be world's better than this. If ESPN had a hand in this PPV, couldn't they at...

    For the first time in my life I'm wondering if the UFC fixes fights

    I'm probably older than most posters on here now...but, I'll say this. I feel the UFC has gotten really stale since the ESPN partnership. I have very little interest now, compared to what I once had. The cards come with too much frequency, and often lack the depth those in the past had. I like...
