    What's your reaction if Poatan wins again?

    I would not be surprised because the guy who wins the first fight almost always wins the instant rematch. If I can get that guy as an underdog, I'm taking that bet every time. So, not an Izzy hater, but obviously I bet against him and will be happy to see him get ko'd again.

    MMA is not the same since GSP left.

    Watching the GSP/Trigg fight on Unleashed with my buddies was one of the moments that turned me into an mma fan. Think the fight was like a year old at the time, but Unleashed did a great job presenting old fights as exciting current match-ups to new viewers. First we see Trigg talking a typical...

    Is anyone in the UFC LHW division gonna beat Jiri, Rakic, Ankalaev besides each other?

    I'm def gonna bet on Jiri in the title fight. But I was also really counting out Glover against Jan, so this time I'm at least going to acknowledge that Glover is a legit threat. UFC LHW became a grappling-weak division and Glover has feasted on fighters that have been able to get by without...

    Media That time Chael Sonnen trolled Dana

    I thought Dana was going to get it after a few seconds, but nope.

    Israel Adesanya Reacts to Volkanovski's Submission Escapes

    Can't think of another time I've seen a fighter break out of that many subs that looked totally locked in. Really pissed me off tho, when I bet on Ortega, I did not consider that Volk has no neck.

    Media Volk - You dont deserve to be here, you're a drug cheat

    Why does it always have to specified that when one fighter gets inside another fighter's head, they're doing so without having to pay rent? As far as I know, no fighter has ever had to pay rent for this, and pointing that out has become the worst cliche of this forum. Also my money is on...

    Diaz will beat Lawler decisively and then face Usman

    They probably would give him the title shot lol. I actually got money on Diaz for this one; the style match up has always favored him. And even if he is a shell of him former self, which he likely is, Robbie is a shell of his former self too, so that factor should even out.

    Would Mousasi have TKO Hendo if the fight went on?

    Henderson was on his back, looking out of it, and getting filled. Confused grabbing at an opponents legs after the ref has already pulled him off isn't great evidence that he was going to get out of the terrible position he was in when the fight was called. And even if it was, the ref can't...

    Isn’t strange that Luke never

    I've thought this about him and Rory, who also had a fantastic top game but not the td power to reliably use it. Don't think it helps that both guys are much more comfortable striking from range and don't do as well in the pocket, makes it harder for them to close the distance.

    its disrespectful to compare REAL fighters with fake Bruce Lee

    It was my math teacher. Happened at school, not the dojo. But it still could be argued that he knew more about martial arts than us karate kids, since he picked a heavyweight world champion over a bantamweight.

    UFC 267: title fight alternates

    Jan vs Jiri would be a step up from Jan vs Glover. No hate on Glover cause he legit earned his shot, but Jan/Jiri is just way more compelling. Feels like it would be a scrap for the ages.

    Media Henry Cejudo Bent The Knee: He’s Married

    That would make sense because he says that you can officially call her Mrs. Cejudo. But then he makes it confusing by using the #benttheknee hashtag, which clearly suggests engagement. Henry should be better at social media now that it's his full time job.

    Jose Aldo uninterested in Dominick Cruz fight, willing to wait for No. 1 contender bout with TJ

    Dom doesn't deserve it. He was lucky to get that gift title shot, he doesn't need to get a gift contender fight too. TJ proved himself after his time away, and Jose never left. I would way rather see those guys fight than have to see any card with Dominic Cruz in a main or co-main event. He...

    its disrespectful to compare REAL fighters with fake Bruce Lee

    I remember discussing the Lee vs Ali fight with my friends in middle school. Most of us did karate, and agreed that Lee's broader skill set would enable him to beat Ali. Our teacher overheard us, and laughed at us like we were the dumbest motherfuckers alive. At the time I was like, this...

    Leon Edwards is a great example…

    I used to not care about personalities as much because the fighters used to each have a more unique style, and there weren't so many of them, so it was easy to get to know the roster. Now that there's hundreds of guys and most of them have a very well rounded skill set, I appreciate it when a...

    Media Anthony Smith wants Rakic rematch with a win over Ryan Spann

    Smith makes a pretty sensible argument here. If he beats Spann, and Reyes is still recovering from having his face shattered, then Rakic and him will be the top two available guys who have no hope of waiting for a shot. However, I expect Smith to get ko'd by Spann, at which point it will be on...

    Rank the champions from most to least likely to lose title in next fight

    1. Aljo - only thing going against Yan is fortune's sense of humor. Things rarely go accordingly when ufc tries to correct an outcome. 2. Oliveira - I expect Poirier's chin/toughness to be the difference maker in a firefight. 3. Volk - Like the style match-up, Ortega looks like he leveled up...

    Do women find Dana White attractive?

    Everything I've seen from him publicly suggests he has terrible social skills with women. He pretty much has zero charm. I suspect a history of rejection was one of his inspirations to get rich.
