    Nate tried quitting but ref wouldn’t stop it

    I thought that Nate was taunting Tony, shaking his head like Tony did as he got TKOed by Gaethje — fucking with Tony’s head to get a chance to recover from a nasty kick.

    Holland Goofed Away the Biggest Opportunity of his Career

    Talking and goofing off had nothing to do with Holland losing. Brunson beat him, and would have beaten him even if he kept his mouth shut and acted serious. Holland’s striking was better, but Brunson’s was good enough to avoid getting KTFO, land enough shots to earn Holland’s respect, and set...

    I thought that moving up is the greatest thing you could ever do?

    The UFC wanting him to win was only one of three reasons I gave for him getting grief. By itself, it would not have been enough to cause his tremendous problem of Shertards making mean threads about him. And you’re talking about Shertards giving Izzy grief. That doesn’t mean he has to take...

    I thought that moving up is the greatest thing you could ever do?

    Izzy got grief because he was the favorite, the UFC wanted him to win, and there was little talk about how good Blachowitz is. Conor would’ve gotten the same if he lost a clear-cut decision to Alvarez.

    Yan calls Sterling clown on Instagram and Sterling responds

    At face value, Sterling posing with the belt is a douche move. But it is brilliant financially, as it generates interest in the rematch for a manlet division that doesn’t usually sell — and he reaps the benefit in PPV points as the champ, even if most people want to see him lose.

    Rogan and DC's worst night of commentary

    Nice clips and post — exhibit A and exhibit B — of Rogan and DC expressing an opinion and “forgetting” to call the fight. They weren’t giving Jan credit for outstriking Adesanya. I couldn’t believe that they were unsure of the outcome before Buffer announced the decision. It was a good fight...

    haha...Gaethje just said in the backstage interview regarding Conor:

    LOL. ESPN didn’t bleep out the profanity. Good for them.

    Helwani: "Masvidal v Usman is the front runner."

    An interim belt is a lot more than a gimmick to a fighter. Fighting as an interim champ guarantees them PPV points, giving them a big raise.

    News Usman Vs Colby negotiations hit a snag.

    Colby is likely the one holding out — for PPV points. Usman gets points as the champ, but he doesn’t sell fights. Colby has a decent argument — his schtick is annoying, but it makes people want to see him lose.

    Masvidal Says He is Ready to Fight Nate Diaz

    The UFC might do it. UFC 202 is kind of a unicorn, because it had Conor and was a rematch of a recent extremely popular fight with Diaz. But even if Nate/Jorge does half as well, it will still be a huge success. I’m not sure if the UFC would pay them enough to do it on a fight night instead...

    Masvidal Says He is Ready to Fight Nate Diaz

    I agree that this should be a five-rounder, and that Nate and Masvidal will likely demand more pay than their current contracts provide. But this can be solved if the UFC pays them PPV points and make the fight a 5-round main event, like Conor-Nate 2.

    Ben Askren Makes Crowd Laugh at Jorge "The Caveman" Masvidal and His Toxic Masculinity

    Poll results are in: Ben really is a funny guy.

    Nice KGB. But WTF? No post-fight interview?

    In all honesty, how do injury prone fighter like Cain and others support their familes

    Cain and Weidman made millions from PPV points alone as champions and are likely set for life, as they’re family men and not spendthrifts. Lower-paid fighters that can’t fight due to injury, etc. have to work, but many are very accomplished in at least one discipline of fighting, so they can...

    Leslie Smith is suing the UFC

    I’m not a lawyer either, so I don’t quite understand how she has a case. Maybe she can recover if she demonstrates to the NLRB that the UFC has a consistent pattern of dumping fighters that try to organize. But as I posted earlier ITT, she’d have little trouble getting an attorney to take...

    Leslie Smith is suing the UFC

    If she had a good case, a lawyer would have taken her case based on a contingency fee and she wouldn’t need a go fund me request.

    Tony Ferguson disses Khabib and Al Iaquinta on twitter; Iaquinta replied with a hilarious tweet

    Does Khabib's openly expressing his Muslim faith bother you/diminish his marketability?

    It’s difficult to gauge how religion might affect fans. Some may root against Khabib because they are anti-Muslim, but they wouldn’t likely have the balls to give the reason. And he may get just as much support from Muslim fans. I’m not Muslim, and Khabib’s religious expression doesn’t...
