UFC should demand this, not 'request' it. Not so, clown. Where is your evidence? .

And this is evidence of what, exactly?

Cyborg didn't destroy Holly Holm, she got out-boxed by Holly, actually, but Cyborg was more powerful. It was a competitive fight.

Money isn't everything. Socrates was penniless ... and lived in a cave ... but he was a greater man, and will be remembered longer, than anyone ever mentioned here on this forum.

Bot Connor's been getting his ass beat too, lately. He's 2 wins 3 losses his last 5 fights (all 3 losses by no-stamina quits). It's not like Conor's been Khabib and is 27-0. No, if you put your glasses on, it's a larger guy who's 2-2 challenging a smaller guy who's 2-3 <45>

Chuck looks old, tight, and slow. Tito looks much faster, alert ... and insecure. I wouldn't pay $1.50 to see this so-called fight ... but I'll watch the clips to see whether: 1) Tito's speed, stamina + upgraded striking skills are too much of old-man Chuck; or 2) The slow, stiff, aged Chuck...

Jon Jones is a lot like Conor ... huge for his weight ... mostly fights smaller-statured men, over whom he enjoys a HUGE reach advantage. While Conor had the balls to move up to face men of similar height / reach (and thereby lose), Jones is at least smart enough to refuse to move up, and face...

Remove both Nelson and Feguson. They have both been finished, Ferguson by tapping too. Khabib would never tap as politely and femininely as Feguson did to Toney. No one will ever submit Khabib in the UFC.

This. Anyone who's seen videos of Khabib's entire career knows he is as much of a badass off his back as he is on top. The thing about it is, Khabib is so much of a badass in general, and the UFC fighters mostly so lame at wrestling (compared to the Dagestanian wrestling + combat-sambo...

Um, genius, Khabib's already won 27 in a row ... so WTH are you talking about? If you mean "title defenses," then say this. But your question is "fights in a row," and neither Jones, Silva, Ferguson, or *anyone* can kiss Khabib's ass in that regard.

Just a continuation of the discussion. As good as Marcelo is as a grappler, it's clear he's mortified at the idea of getting hit. His only, sad, attempt in MMA ... You can be the best grappler in the world, but if you're terrified of taking a punch (and/or can't take a punch), you're not a...

It has got to the point just the name, "Conor McGregor," is cringe-worthy. What was once a cocky swagger, a deep commitment to martial arts, and a serious drive to be the best ... has morphed, warped, and become a caricature of bravado and a ruse to "stir idiots" into buying his liquor and...

Agree. I am a sports gambler, and I love betting, but I wouldn't bet the farm either way on this one :) There are "intangibles" in a fight like this ... and both men are supremely-confident ... and proven WINNERS, no matter what, each one having an awesome and consistent record of success. If it...

Cormeir is better because: He's been fighting more consistently; His resume is just as good; He's never cheated to win; He conducts himself with class and dignity outside the ring; He supports his peers and represents the sport positively; He seems like a genuinely nice person. By contrast...

True about Marcelo. Still, back to the topic, Askren may have "improved his grappling fundamentals," but that doesn't put him at the multi-titled Sambo gold medalist-level that Khabib is as a grappler. Khabib is a lot closer to Askren as a wrestler, than Askren is to Khabib as a grappler...

Not if you factored-in striking. In pure grappling, I agree, although Khabib would not be as clueless and easy as Askren, because of his world-class Sambo background. If you watch some of Khabib's early days, against other Dagestanian sambo athletes, Khabib can fight as good off his back as he...

1. Khabib is able to out-wrestle titled wrestlers. Bigger than him, too. 2. Khabib is the better striker, and his striking seems to have improved even more, since preparing for Conor. 3. Even if Khabib cannot quite match Askren in wrestling, Khabib is also a master Sambo gold medalist, and can...

Let's face it, Derrick is a fat, knock-kneed, non-athlete with a big right hand. It's an embarrassment to the division he's even near the top 10. Softest division in the UFC, nowhere near the competition in featherweight to middleweight.

As I said in another thread, Weidman looks good in the feel-out "professional sparring" mode ... but he freezes, and won't let his hands go, when the intensity steps up and the fight turns heated and chaotic. Weidman just doesn't let his hands go, like he's trying to win a slugfest. Instead, he...

True. Further, despite all the hype around Jones, history has proven fighters don't get "better" after long layoffs (and other repeatedly stupid decisions), they get worse. I think Gus is going in there, hungy, with everything to win, while Jones is going in there, remembering his beating (while...
