    Media Ortega Says He Couldn’t Hear the Ref and Tap was Soft

    It was a super soft tap so I get that part. However ref was pulling on his arm and yelling at him so that's a little harder to defend....kinda felt he was trying to put an explanation mark on the sub finish but whatever at the end of the day everyone is ok so it's all good.

    No it will be Nate vs Conor III and Paddy as a consolation prize for Chandler.

    Pereira won --> Khamzat becomes the LHW champ?

    I think Hill will become undisputed champ. Alex is too hittable and suspect chin.

    Jailton Almeida explains why he thinks Sergei Pavlovich beats Tom Aspinall at #UFC295

    Aspinall is the more well rounded MMA fighter, but it's hard to deny Pavolichs power. I'm leaning Pavolich but it's hard to call, I keep remembering what Overeem was able to do to him.

    Fury needs to get some training from Jake Paul it looks like.

    Sounds like Volk has mental health problems?

    I caught that too, op...not sure why people are giving you a hard time over this. A lot of high level athletes NEED their sport and training to keep their head clear. Not just athletes, but actors or anyone else really who does their passion for a living at the highest levels. Shit, I get...

    Were you impressed by Khamzat Chimaev performance?

    He's not an unstoppable monster like the hype and wins prior to Burns suggested, but he's proved he belongs near the top after ragdolling Holland and now Usman. I think he beats Strickland in the first round or Strickland survives the early onslaught and makes it a fight that could go either way...

    PBP UFC 294 - Makhachev vs. Volkanovski 2 Main Card PBP Discussion: Sat 10/21 at 2PM ET / 11AM PT

    I was afraid that would happen. Good stamp on the rivalry from Islam. The first fight was fun but I thought a clear victory for Islam. Maybe full camp Volk could have made it competitive though who knows. I hope he takes enough time to rest for Topuria because that guy looks like a serious...

    George St. Pierre or Fedor Emelianenko - Who's the most iconic MMA fighter? (The Finals)

    For us hardcore fans most will pick Fedor, which is understandable, however GSP was at the top of the sport when it was at it's peak of popularity so I picked him for that reason. I can ask casuals who GSP is and a lot will know who he is, I don't think the same can be said for Fedor.

    Valentina Shevchenko Blames Split Draw on Mexican Independence Day ‘Pressure’

    Only one judge had it right imo. I had it 3-2 grasso no 10-8. It's all about the 4th round which I though she won fairly decisively. 2-2 going into the 5th.

    Media Fighters react to the submission that was overturned

    The commentary for the ufc is a joke and gets things wrong all the time. The ufc is shady as hell. What we all saw with our own eyes is a fighters arm drop and go limp only a second or two after ref had checked. No, I've never grappled but after watching countess numbers of MMA fights over the...

    How surprised were you with Jon Jones performace against Gane?

    Surprised that it ended that fast, but not surprised Jones was able to win with his grappling after seeing what Ngannou was able to do as a fighter that normally doesn't grapple. I also thought Jones looked pretty damn strong. A little softer around the belly sure, but looked like he's going to...

    Prime for prime, who is the best UFC heavyweight that you've seen?

    A bit of hyperbole on my part, no fighter is actually unbeatable of course. I just meant I would have favored him in pretty much any match up at that time. Also that was the best version of Werdum probably, and while he landed some strikes it was nothing significant and I remember the fight...

    Prime for prime, who is the best UFC heavyweight that you've seen?

    I think the juiced Overreem in strikeforce was basically unbeatable.

    Examples of having incredible heart not meaning having a good chin??

    Dan Henderson was known for having a strong chin, but he would actually get wobbled or dropped often. It was actually his ability to recover and fire back that was so good, so I guess you could call that heart. Brock Lesnar had a strong chin (never lights out) but he didn't take punches very...

    Media Anyone else LOVE Khamzat's strike-to-wrestle transitions?

    Burns was defending well and also offered some good hammerfist from the bottom. Not saying Khamzat wasn't getting the better of the exchanges but he was in a fight on the ground as well, it's gotta sap his cardio hard.

    Media Chimaev def. Burns - Highlights of their war

    I'm just glad that Burns made Khamzat look human. Now maybe other top fighters won't duck him. He still has a great chance of being special, but this was a good reminder that he's got to work for it like any other fighter would have to, it will probably make him better actually.

    Burns tried soccer kicking Kham in the head, then landed punches/elbows to the back of Kham's head.

    Maybe he was trying to soccer kick the body or chest like we've seen before and perfectly legal. Also is it illegal if it doesn't land? I remember when Jon Jones would come out on all fours to close the distance against an opponent and one time someone took a kick towards his head, to which he...
