It's called getting old, wdym?

I'm sure this has been said fifty times already, but: dude was already a legend, then this happened. It was movie shit. If you didn't love this, how can you even call yourself a fan of the sport?

I think he sincerely likes fighting, and he's using his billions of dollars to do what he enjoys.

I fast forwarded through another 5 round decision. Might have been alright, not concerned.

Some guys are good fighters, and some guys are men you'd never want to face on the battlefield.

Fighting is popular with salt-of-the-earth rednecks the world over. I count myself among them. <{JustBleed}>

Holy fuck <36>

O'Malley has been impressive his entire run. Sherbros get blinded by the swagger (not a huge fan, either), but he's good and exciting, every fight.

Lol this is how athletes end up losing all their money, as if "starting a business" is easy.

This seems so much more patronizing than just being short up there.

We are sports fans discussing our favourite sport on a message board. Do we have to preface every comment with "I realize both guys could beat me up, but..." ?

And how many of these guys are going to even approach a 20 year career? There are guys on the main card who are making sub-100k, and whose careers could end in a few years.

I agree he's way underpaid...but why is he such a shitty negotiator?

That's literally what a gatekeeper is.

That's actually an interesting one. Obviously I bucket that in unacceptable, too. But, really, the juicing is way more of issue than the betting.

Was he always like this, or is this the Brazilian with no self awareness version of doing the "McGregor" thing?
