Chis is accurately describing how shitty Alex was at grappling in the first fight with Izzy. He's a consummate professional however and well trained by Glover, so his counter wrestling has massively improved in the last two years. At this point Alex is going to be a problem for everyone, and...

The world champion at 185lbs was Izzy, who tried and successfully took him down. Izzy just also sucks at grappling so he couldn't win the fight that way. Then Jan took him down and attempted to win on the mat - anyone with brains will agree Jan is a very competent MMA grappler. He didn't...

Some folks in here likely do not know Driccus fought at welterweight before moving up to 185lbs. He's not a particularly "big" middleweight, he's just heavily muscled. Driccus could easily drop 5-7lbs of body mass and have a less aggressive water cut fight week. Its really a personal choice...

Cut to the picture of Geroges begging for his title shot in a beanie cap at UFC 56 looking like a cartoon superhero character. No need to even post it, everyone reading this can picture it lmao GSP was absurdly lean and jacked on his way up. He looked (and was) much physically bigger than a...

Conor has two fights left on his contract https://news.yahoo.com/conor-mcgregor-provides-ufc-contract-112316776.html I would also bet he has a 5 year sunset clause, which is absolute regardless of tolling.

This is a good one my friend.

The UFC will do whatever maximizes profit. If Conor agrees to fight in a revenue split that makes the company more money by booking a title fight, that is what they will do.

I would bet a substantial amount of money this fight makes Bo look bad, even in victory. The problem is the UFC put Bo on UFC 300 to squeeze some ROI out of him while he's not getting paid much. They really can't book him with another Cody Brundage, its going to be someone who actually belongs...

Because this is common sense and accurate.

Rankings are an indexing of your fights in the division over time. Max has had one fight at lightweight in the last 5 years and is 1-1 overall. The idea that you magically take someones ranking by beating them is logically bad, unless you are already nearby peers in the division. It is much...

If you didn't watch the fight, Malkoun absolutely did not beat the living anything out of Petroski. He cracked his head on Malkoun's hip doing a take down, then wobbled around grabbing at air, before collapsing. Malkoun didn't land a single strike in the exchange. Don't take my word for it...

Conor was lighting in a bottle, right place right time stuff. It crossed over to pop culture in a way that is fairly unique in MMA. Topuria is almost completely unknown outside of MMA and his small home country. He's not going airborne like Conor did.

No, this is a multi city tour and they've already done two legs that were long Q&A and face offs. This is marketing. Nate is good at marketing. Nate literally made Masvidal a multimillionaire, that is why Jorge has so much respect for him personally.

You forgot to say *BANGER ALERT I think Rountree got this.

I agree with that. Also to put context in to my post and what I was replying too - Alex was not a young contender, he was in his mid-30's and had an established history with Izzy. Really unique scenario in MMA

Izzy didn't clean the division out either since Poatan literally TKO'd him and took his belt, and they were in the division contemporaneously. Alex also murder KO'd Strickland, who goes on to beat the absolute shit out of Izzy. Winning two belts and beating that many world champions is a...

Wait until you find out how people drive in Glendale

That was Alex's second loss to Islam, and it was indeed a summary KO. In comparison, Poatan had literally just beaten Izzy and did it via stoppage, so they were 1-1. This is setting aside that Alex was still completely green in MMA when he fought for and won the title against a long defending...

"the first to knock out Volk..." Alex was literally coming off a KO loss, someone should tell Topuria.

I like that I already knew what shirt Dustin would be wearing before the camera cut to him.
