    Hey Pereira fans, your boy is 37 years old, he could fall off the horse any moment now

    He relies on power, not speed, so I can see him hanging around a while. Atleast until his chin completely goes.

    I know that in hindsight this looks bad, but izzy trash talking was savage AT THE TIME...

    Ironically he has become that guy, beating Pereira once will probably be his biggest accomplishment.

    Media Jamahal Hill dances, says he's "still winning" at life

    Not the first guy to get knocked out by Pereira and not the last. We saw what Strickland did after Pereira walked through him.

    UFC 300 was so exciting that it made me lose complete interest with boxing

    Boxing has been done for a decade. I say this as a guy who used to love the sport (still do, but mostly just watch fights from the glory days). There's just nothing there apart from corruption, politics and top guys holding out for more money. Maybe once or twice a year you actually see a...

    *IF* Alex Pereira fights at heavyweight in 3 weeks in Brazil, who should it be against?

    If he gets knocked out badly, he'll be out for a good while, and might never be the same again. The reason why most guys don't step up to the HW division is because all those 250+ pound guys hit hard and can put your lights out with one punch. Or they'll just grapple you to the ground, lay on...

    *IF* Alex Pereira fights at heavyweight in 3 weeks in Brazil, who should it be against?

    Not interested in seeing him against anybody except Aspinall or Jones. No point in potentially putting the LHW division on hold just to fight some mediocre guy with a 30 pound weight advantage.

    Media Jamahal Hill: Pereira "isn't even close" to my level

    One thing I'll say is that Hill looked fully confident he was going to win, just like Strickland was. They just didn't really comprehend the level of power this man has. Unfortunately by the time you realize what kind of a monster you're in the cage with, it's too late to make any adjustments.

    Media No love lost between Dan Henderson and Michael Bisping

    The man definitely needed to get humbled. He was wildly overrating himself just because he had good conditioning and decent striking for the standards of that time. His overall game was not good, later on his fight IQ improved quite a bit. The Hendo fight was just puzzling because everyone...

    The 35+ Curse Year Old Curse at LW and Below?

    Bring back TRT and these guys would be hanging around a lot longer.

    looking back: what would the best UFC 300 bout order have been?

    Seeing 3 fights that intense in a row would've been too much for the crowd. You need a piss break/mental reset in between.

    Justin will never be the same again

    Wouldn't surprise me if he comes back looking the exact same he always has. He got his nose broken, got eyepoked twice, and was in there against a much faster guy. If he fights someone slower and less skilled than Max, he will probably look as good as he always has. Poirier got knocked the hell...

    Crime Six Dead and at least Eleven, including a nine-month-old baby, Injured after Mass Stabbing in Sydney Shopping Centre. Suspect shot dead by police.

    Fortunately the sick bastard didn't get his hands on a gun, would've been a lot more casualties there with the way he was running after people, who were obviously confused at what was going on. If you look at the guy, he doesn't really seem like somebody who's going through it. Just another...

    International Is this really the start of a World War 3?

    Just another Middle Eastern conflict. Nothing more. Wake me up when there's actually peace in the Middle East.

    Media No love lost between Dan Henderson and Michael Bisping

    To be fair the H-bomb was always there but earlier in his career he could still grapple. By the 2010s he looked so stiff that he could barely bend his knees.

    Media No love lost between Dan Henderson and Michael Bisping

    Nothing compared to Bisping's hatred of Vitor Belfort. Wouldn't be surprised if they get into a scuffle at 50 years of age in some random fighter meeting event. Bisping likes to take the odd pot shot at Hendo but ultimately I think he respects the guy. He fought old man Hendo with no TRT and...

    Media F off Herb, I got this.

    To be honest all the referees have their downsides. Some stop fights too early, others too late, some of them like to interfere with the fight more than necessary. Herb has fucked up more than his share but he's also more prominent than most other referees. I think he still has his uses but...

    Media F off Herb, I got this.

    He was only doing what a ref should do in that situation. It's also good that his ego didn't get hurt like with some refs.

    Justin Gaethje Low Fight IQ

    His style works great when the activity is pretty limited and both guys are trading power shots, instead of trying to set things up. He didn't deal well with Max's activity, movement, speed and feinting at all. He looked really uncomfortable from the beginning, like he was expecting a brawl and...

    That little reset threw Hill off

    Hill needed to throw some power shots early to earn Pereira's respect, instead he was trying to be crafty and land point strikes which Pereira just shrugged off. When you fight a puncher like that, you got to make them think twice about throwing. Hill did nothing to discourage Pereira from...

    Media Ilia Topuria Says "Its Clear To Me Max Holloway Is NEXT" After UFC 300 - Who You Guys Got?

    Will Halloway be the same at 145 after bulking up for 155? I feel like yoyoing in weight will ruin his momentum.
