    News Charles Oliveira is gonna be father of a baby boy

    Absolutely! It's 2024, you gotta wait until at least the kids' 6th birthday before they reveal their gender. (J/K calm down everyone.) But yes, the idea of a gender reveal party is awful on so many levels.

    Media Did Khamzat Chimaev finally bite off more than he could chew?

    Sort of the anti-Paddy/O'Malley (that sounds racist.)

    What fight that left you so shocked that couldn’t get over it

    For me Aldo McGregor was the fight where I said "I'm not going to get 'emotional' over fighters who I don't know anymore." Angela Hill and Dwight Grant both put the nail in the coffin for getting "super emotional" about anyone's fight after that. That fight annoyed the sh-t out of me. We know a...

    "Im surprised he took that fight." - Sean Omalley

    I can agree with you all I want; but I just genuinely don't believe that he actually cares about legacy or the OG fans/practitioners of the sport.

    News Luke Rockhold signs with Karate Combat, set to debut against former GLORY and Bellator veteran Joe Schilling on April 20

    A buddy of mine who runs a Muay Thai school up in Boston was telling me that this is really Rockhold’s fight to lose. So do with that what you will.

    "Im surprised he took that fight." - Sean Omalley

    I’m not arguing that. I’m arguing that O’Malley likely doesn’t value “respect.”

    News Luke Rockhold signs with Karate Combat, set to debut against former GLORY and Bellator veteran Joe Schilling on April 20

    Wasn't he pretty decent with upper body throws? I believe that they can do single legs in Karate Combat, too.

    "Im surprised he took that fight." - Sean Omalley

    I don't know, man; bad to who? I'd like to believe that it's the hardcore fans that fuel growth in the sport; but I think that it's a fanciful idea at best. And considering how open he is about his "alternative" lifestyle, I doubt that he really cares how he looks to us.

    "Im surprised he took that fight." - Sean Omalley

    Based on earlier interviews, I've always assumed that O'Malley would unapologetically take the easiest fights that he could get for the money. While I'm not a fan of that approach when it comes to entertainment, it seems like the smartest move that he can make from a business standpoint. If he...

    News Luke Rockhold signs with Karate Combat, set to debut against former GLORY and Bellator veteran Joe Schilling on April 20

    <LikeReally5> I believe that they do both now. He'd be a good "crossover guy." If I'm not mistaken, this (Rockhold) is/was a widely held opinion here. Either way, I 100% agree. Would've been better to drop him with a body shot. Head shots can kill a dude (impact on ground, too.) Robin Black...

    Is Fiorot VS Blanchfield the highest level non title fight in WMMA history?

    That was genuinely the sentiment that I remember; but fair enough. I didn’t really know much about Joanna; just that she’d had a ton of kickboxing experience that I assumed would carry her in the young division. That said, I remember thinking “for the uncrowned championship” at the time of...

    Is Fiorot VS Blanchfield the highest level non title fight in WMMA history?

    One that hasn't been mentioned yet is Jedrzejczyk/Gadelha 1. As I remember, it was considered (w/o much if any dissent) the match to figure out which fighter was going to beat whoever came out on top of TUF with the belt that year. Absolutely! ^This

    News Edson Barboza vs Lerone Murphy set for main event on May 18th

    Edson's typically gonna leave a mark regardless of the outcome.

    News Edson Barboza vs Lerone Murphy set for main event on May 18th

    Agreed Lerone by decision is the most likely result IMO.

    News Edson Barboza vs Lerone Murphy set for main event on May 18th

    Three times in <3 calendar years for Barboza does seem like a trend. I'll be cheering for the sounds like (County) Tyrone so presumably Irish (?) Lerone Murphy. Fun Facts: Murphy is 3-0 (2 decisions) vs Brazilians in the UFC Barboza is 1-3 when headlining in the UFC; and 0-3 as the A-side...

    Out of the 4 GOATS, is Fedor the only one who deliberately engaged his opponents at their strengths?

    While I'm not contending that any of the following fighters have thrown a fight, it would be easy and tough to spot if you know your opponent's strengths. -Eddie Alvarez knew that Conor had a huge/fast right hand and wasn't the best counter wrestler; so of course he circled to the right at...
