That Tank Abbott quote is cold I need to find a clip of that. God damn.

I’ll go first:

The way Ariel is talking to him throughout was legit so disrespectful I’ve never seen Ariel like that before, in person, with a “fighter” Danis got publicity subbed by a security guard and now Ariel

To add on to the Dana White betting thing, I’ve always felt like those occasions when Dana has looked and sounded angry at the post event media scrum and we’ve put it down to a cash cow for the organisation losing a fight they wanted to win, I suspect sometimes it’s because he’s lost large sums...

Jon Jones testing positive for the Gustafsson II fight, no longer being sanctioned by the commission to fight in the original venue. Dana moving the entire card on 24 hrs notice to another state to let Jones fight while juiced. Lastly, and I hope he is investigated but I doubt it. I highly...

Why do you think he comes across as a dick? I always find he gives his honest opinion on things, doesn’t sugar coat anything and just has an old school mentality when it comes to training regimen, how he carries himself in/out of the cage and he’s always pretty respectful to opponents / media...

https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/fighter-vs-writer-matt-brown-reveals-his-picks-for/id320642139?i=1000590726758 That’s where I listen to it not sure about Spotify though. I will say Damon Martin the hosts voice is kind of irritating after awhile but he is very knowledgable about the...

Any of you guys been catching the Fighter vs Writer podcast every week? It’s hosted via MMA Fighting and not hugely publicised that well but Matt Brown is talking with MMA journalist Damon Martin about current events but also both swapping old school UFC stories. I’ve been loving it so far and...

I know many don’t really care for the MMA media guys who cover the sport but I’m curious what the public perception and consensus is on Ariel Helwani and Brett Okamoto. Ariel Helwani asks people difficult questions, and highlights some of the negative aspects of the sport whether that be...

How solid a bet is Moly McCann tonight? I’ve legit seen nothing of her opponent

Jordan seems like a really sound, but nerdy and awkward guy. I don’t think he’s even a trash talker? Where has Paddy blown up this dislike of him from? I caught an interview where the Shmo told Leavitt he should twerk in the cage if he beats Paddy, which Leavitt just agreed would be funny to...

That’s a good breakdown of the situation. Any time I’ve seen people publicly pushing to unionise it’s guys who are already retired or out of favour with the UFC anyway (or both, like Randy Couture) I’d say to see any major change or shift to unionise you would need say, Usman, Adesanya and...

Mike Bohn by generic fight week questioning

I take back the respect but, it was more sarcastic than genuine really. The contract situation bugs me as someone who appreciates the sacrifices fighters make, for awful pay and poor employment rights

This is true but most other sports the contract is based on years rather than number of fights/appearances right? If you sign a five fight deal with the UFC you can’t just wait out x amount of years for the contract to expire as it’s based on your appearances inside the octagon. Such as the...

Yan Respect to O’Malley if he has actually signed for this fight though dear lord

I don’t know why as I’ve got older the fighter pay / contracts situation has bothered me more and more as of late but it has. Full respect to the UFC for finding loopholes in the legal framework to tie fighters down in the way that they do, but is anyone else bothered by this stuff at all...

That’s my picks for tonight if I’m wrong on Aljo by sub I’m hoping I’m right on the parlay with Yan via decision

This feels like apt time for a thread revival
