    Media Rockhold on Strickland after UFC 302 "I will f****g end this kid's life"

    I enjoy Rockhold's chill, emo-like shit talk and interviews lol...and I find it funny that he rubs so many people the wrong way. The sport is more fun with him around...it's just too bad his best days are well behind him, but I would definitely still tune in for him and Strickland...

    DUSTIN QUIT

    White belt quality thread...truly embarrassing. At least Arman has the excuse of trying to get attention for a fight or something...not sure what TS' excuse is for the disrespect and illogical take.

    Media Conor McGregor reacts on today’s cancelled press conference in Dublin, Ireland

    "Conor McGregor explains why..." Not really.

    UFC 302 had 0 knockout finishes

    Just let the fighters load up their hand wraps, Margarito-style.

    Conor statement about the press cancellation

    ...it sound like they both agreed to cancel as opposed to him not able to be there or whatever. Meh...milding interesting, I guess...but does anyone *really* care about the lead up to this fight, or do most of us really just want to see the fight? I honestly don't care much for more presser...

    Ariel confirms Conor vs Chandler is still on for now, presser cancellation had nothing to do w/ alcohol, substance use, etc.

    While it may seem odd that Ariel can rule out some reasons for why it was not cancelled, it does not follow that he knows the reason why it was cancelled. (e.g., he got info from reps for Conor and/or UFC who wouldn't/couldn't give detailed info, but at least did confirm it wasn't due to the...

    Mokaev Getting DQ'd in a No Gi Comp

    Shameful on multiple levels.

    Islam Gets Destroyed at 170 | Agreed or Disagreed?

    I don't think there is compelling evidence to suggest that Islam gets 'destroyed' at 170. It seems far more reasonable to predict that his size and skill set mean that he should be competitive...certainly no worse than top 10, more likely top 5, and realistically a title threat. I don't...

    What would your ideal outcome for Mcgregor vs Chandler be?

    Despite not being a fan of him either, I'm hoping for a Chandler win by any means...KO, sub, decision, controversy...I don't care.

    McGregor vs Islam is one of the biggest fights ever

    ...between Justin and Max, instead of simply giving Justin the LW title fight...and then Justin lost. And yes...beating Dustin at this point is *definitely* more legacy-relevant than beating a semi-retired Conor who has one big win in the last 8 years. (Conor's 'double champ' status is a...

    McGregor vs Islam is one of the biggest fights ever

    ...it would be quite a spectacle...but this is also partly why Islam should deny Conor the opportunity. First, and most important, beating Conor does *nothing* for Islam's fighting legacy (and that legacy seems most important to him). Second, denying Conor opportunity for redemption is the...

    Was Islam vs Poirier the greatest title fight of all time?

    No. Recency bias is clearly a thing.

    Dr. Strickland continues to put on clinics

    Yeah, but that 49-46 for Costa was a fucking disgrace...

    PBP UFC 302 Makhachev vs. Poirier Main Card PBP Discussion: Sat. 6 / 1 at 10pm ET

    Shit...great fight...Dustin did well, just needed to push a little more, but granted that was really hard with the TD threat. Dustin should be proud...and Islam showed why he is the champ.

    Dustin Poirier has zero wins by Guillotine

    TS must be the only one not in on the joke?

    Why isnt Nick fighting Tony?

    That would be my hope too...it's not like Nick is a valuable asset at this point (unless he surprises the shit out of us against Luque).

    Media Nick coming for that belt?

    I honestly don't know. I thought newer deals were not 'indefinite', something the UFC changed in response to the anti-trust suit being launched...but I don't know. Apparently Dana would not let GSP box Oscar de la Hoya a few years back and that was 3+ years after the Bisping fight, so they...

    Why isnt Nick fighting Tony?

    Yeah, apparently he signed a 3-fight deal when he came back to fight Anderson, so he would have only had one left after Lawler...he must have re-upped or something? I found the MMA Hour clip and Ariel actually said it is five (but including this one, I think....so four more). I can only hope...

    Why isnt Nick fighting Tony?

    IIRC, Helwani said on the MMA Hour this week that Nick had four fights left on his deal...? If that is true, hopefully he can negotiate a release if he does one or two. I don't think anyone wants to see Nick have to fight four more times in the UFC just to be able to do something else (like...

    Media Nick coming for that belt?

    He probably wants to do other things...Ariel said he has four fights left on his UFC contract. Hopefully, Nick negotiates a release by agreeing to do one or two of them.
