At least they're both ranked. There's been several main events where one fighter wasn't ranked, you don't have to go back too far to find them. Not that long ago in the same MW division we had Andre Muniz (11) vs Brendan Allen (unranked) in a main event. We recently had Grant Dawson (10) vs...

Burns (if he's at his best) is a brutal matchup for Brady. I think Burns keeps it on the feet for the most part brutalizes Brady with much superior striking. Having said that... Burns is 37 years old now and coming off a bad injury. Unfortunately, I think his best days are behind him. At...

Adesanya has wins over Whittaker x2, Alex Pereira, Jared Cannonier, Paulo Costa, Anderson Silva. He also came back and avenged his loss and won the title again after losing it. Now at 34 years old he's maybe on the decline and needs a break. Rousey has wins over Miesha Tate x2, Cat Zingano...

Weird take. You're talking about Alex Pereira who is literally known for having one of the most powerful left hooks in the game today (or ever). He connected first with the right and then cleanly with that left, even if he didn't wind up a ton for it. There was plenty of power behind that...

This thread delivered exactly as the title promised.

Why? He's definitely done competing at the very highest level, but I'm sure he could still compete with mid-tier talent in the PFL. Just a couple years ago he was looking as good as he's ever looked with dominant wins over Kevin Holland and Darren Till. Yes he subsequently got beat by...

A big difference between this and the Hunt/Lesnar situation though.... is that Jon won the fight. In order to sue someone, you generally need to be able to prove that there were damages caused by the actions of the other party. Hunt lost the fight, took a bunch of physical damage, missed out...

I disagree on the lose/lose here. If Tony wins, it would be a big moment for him. Paddy's obviously overrated and overhyped, but he's still a skilled fighter on the rise with a ton of fans and exposure. If Tony turns back the clock and gets a W with all of those eyes on him, after 6...

It's not hugely significant, but obviously a pretty good name to add to the resume. Having said that, his legacy is clearly secured already. He's either: A) The greatest mixed martial artist of all-time, or B) Disqualified from that conversation due to failed PED tests. And whether he were to...

You can twist this analogy in so many ways. Even in running, it's not just about who is running the fastest at the end. You could build a good lead for the first 80%, then start to fade, but hold on enough to just cross the finish line in advance of the 2nd place runner who was gaining steam...

She did say "I'm the winner". I think DC was perhaps a bit confused on whether she thought she actually won and didn't necessarily understand that it was a draw. I don't know whether that was the case, but that seemed like that was what DC was reacting to in the moment. Either way, it was a...

You proved yourself wrong with the definition there. There was no "duration" element in that round. Valentina was actually winning the striking exchanges for the majority of the first 4 mins of the round. There really is zero argument for a 10-8 there.... And if you DO consider that a 10-8...

He was reacting to the fight being scored a draw. And the only conceivable way that the fight could be a draw, is if someone gave someone a 10-8 round. So yes... he was reacting to a 10-8 with a big what the FUCK just like the rest of us.

The 10-8 is complete horseshit obviously. But at the same time, a draw actually seems like an okay outcome for that fight.... It was unbelievably close and could have gone either way. Round 4 was really a 50-50 toss-up IMO, and if 10-10's were actually used, you could make an argument that...

I think that was every single person's reaction when we saw the 10-8 round 5. Not sure there's much else to say other than what the FUCK.

Coke addiction generally helps greatly with weight loss. I think there's another certain substance that Conor's been putting into his body that has contributed to an increase in size.

I think Dillashaw/Barao needs to be higher, people forget how insane that was (likely due to hindsight because of how their careers went afterwards). Barao was riding one of the craziest winning streaks in MMA history. 32 W's in a row. Was coming off an amazing performance dominating and...

Well he just thoroughly outstruck Izzy over 5 rounds. And nobody in a million years though he could do that. So its certainly within the realm of possibility that he could beat several of the guys that you listed if he put together a similar performance. I don't think it's fair to compare him...

Avatar checks out. So a non-current champion who will become a champion one day? Probably Tom Aspinall. I expect Jones to retire after beating Stipe, and then Aspinall should destroy pretty much anyone else at HW. Also still young for a HW and will get several cracks at it even if he...
