    If you had to pick one exercise to train a young athlete

    Running if you class that as an exercise. Builds bone density, builds lower body strength, great for the cardio-respiratory system, great for weight control, most popular sports invlove running so will give a solid base. If you meant a strength exercise then pull ups. Builds grip, good for...

    Why does Jones need over 2 years to move up in weight?

    IMO he's waiting for the perfect moment. Probably only wants a title shot at heavyweight and not to fight a top 5. Ngannou is a very hard fight for anyone with his size and KO power, the fact that it looks like he's improved his wrestling is also another factor. I think Jon is waiting for...

    Could wrestling work in a street fight?

    A fair fight on the street? Wrestling would be massively dominating. Alongside BJJ in my opinion as the most useful. If its numerous people against one? Get yourself some good friends, pepper spray or a fast 400m running time.

    News Jon Jones Smashing Head into Police Car

    Terrible to see. Dont consider myself a Jon Jones fan and certainly won't defend him hitting a woman but its still sad. Some people are just bad people for no real reason but some people are bad people from the circumstances, doesn't make it right and he's still a bad person but I think he's the...

    i scored it a draw

    Wanted Rob to win but he didn't deserve to win that fight. Izzy landed the harder shots, landed more shots, had the KD and dominated the octagon. Robs takedowns were also very brief so don't count for much. Didnt do enough to take the belt from a champion in my opinion.

    Who does Conor fight next ?

    Should get Ferguson, RDA, Gillespie or Fiziev if he returns to lightweight. Should get Stephen Thompson, Magny, Jingliang or Chiesa at Welterweight. But probably gets Oliviera or Kamaru. Possibly Masvidal or Dustin because they would be big match ups.

    Who Hits Harder: Gaethje or Poirier?

    Pure raw power then Gaethje. But imo Poirier has better boxing skills. Better accuracy, setups, defense, footwork, combinations etc. I could see the same thing happening with Gaethje as what happened with Dustin. Whenever Oliviera takes a hard shot he falls to his back inviting Gaethje into his...

    Life on the road

    Could also get a heavy weighted vest and do some calisthenics when you get the chance if you goal is to get stronger. Pick a vest weight thats hard to do 15 reps and do plenty of sets of about 8 throughout the day. You could do different variations of situps, planks, pushups, squats, lunge etc...

    Michael Chiesa was the biggest loser tonight

    I didnt find it that cringey. He's been training with her for years now and it's one of the biggest upsets in MMA history. He may have cried his eyes out regardless of being drunk. As for falling over and cutting his head, he's not the first person to do that. Over Christmas I bet 90% of us are...

    Opinions on Gaethje's personality?

    Used to think he was alright but lately though he's becoming more unbearable. Saying Charles is a quitter was stupid imo when you look what he's came from to win a title. Then after the fight on the weekend he's going up to Charles very respectfully. Now he's saying he can't wait to break his...

    Charles knocked down in the last Fights

    May be a smart tactic to be fair. Rather than take a hard shot, wobble around the cage and then get caught with a bomb that puts him to sleep he can probably get hurt and fall to his back and defend himself better due to his BJJ game.

    So if you win a round by blatant cheating is it still a win?

    I was completely 50/50 on who I was backing so I'm unbiased but in the heat of the moment in a world championship fight stuff like that happens all the time, probably just instinct to grab whatever you can and not a calculated decision to cheat. Eyes pokes happen all the time and one of those...

    Rough to see Cody lose like that…

    Realistically he should retire i think. Against Dom his ability to see shots coming and slip them was incredible and Dom is a fast unorthodox puncher. Since that first KO loss against TJ he hasn't looked the same. People say its his chin but after the Rob Font fight everybody was saying about...

    The myth that GSP has no wrestling background

    Starting at 17 is pretty old for a guy who dominated people with his wrestling the way he did. A lot of American/Former Soviet countries start 10 years younger than that, wrestle in college/schools, and then start MMA at like 24 after close to 15 years of pure wrestling. That would make their...

    The reason dustin will lose tonight

    Its for charity, I doubt he's spending 30 hours a week travelling the world trying to find the best secret ingredients. No doubt he just asked someone to make a hot sauce, threw his name on it and puts a few pics on Instagram.

    How good is Poirier's bjj

    Seems to be able to hold his own against some decent grapplers and seems to be very physically strong in the clinches against the cage imo. I seen an interview recently though where Dustin said that his BJJ fundamentals were probably better way back in 2012 when he first beat Holloway compared...

    Greatest physique of all time

    Marvin Eder all day for me. Enough mass to the point where if you seen him walk down the street you would know he's a big fella. But not big to the point where you think "that man could not scratch his own back or sprint if his life depended on it". Ronnie Coleman is still impressive no doubt...
