The hype has understandably simmered down. The Gordon fight showed, and the Tony fight confirmed, that Paddy isn't an elite LW fighter. Outside of a couple more gimme fights against past their prime vets, the jig is up. Nothing against Paddy, it's just the clear as day reality.

No possible way, like literally zero 0.00% Conor sold 2.4mil against Khabib, and did 4.3 million against Floyd, these numbers are absolutely ludicrous historically. Conor was involved in two of the top 5 highest selling combat events in history, he is on an entirely different...

The mental toll that injury takes on you is immense, he's trying to win the mental battle with himself with all this Terminator talk. His mentality is admirable, but it only shines light on his inner doubt and uncertainty. He might try to throw the left leg frequently to get over the doubt, but...

This is the kind of stuff that endears you to the fans. Respect, he's doing everything he can to get back to the top. Should be a great matchup, Hill's volume and pressure should be too much for Khalil I think. The recent TKO loss and Khalil's hot streak makes the fight all the more intriguing.

I agree, that's why "Peak" and "Prime" are also important to differentiate. I rarely see anyone acknowledge the difference. You can be past your most effective peak form in fighting, yet still evolve in the later stages of your prime to continually be effective. Aldo is a good example as you...

The issue is fans correlate win/loss records to an actual fighters' individual performance or lack thereof, when it's more nuanced and deeper than that. Just because Aldo could still beat top ten guys, doesn't mean he was anywhere close to his peak when he was fighting Marlon, Yan, Stephens...

If he is smart he'll wait to see the winner of Chandler vs Conor, that's a gigantic potential payday if Conor can pull off a miracle. If Chandler wins that's still a gigantic BMF fight against an old and aging Chandler, you beat up Chandler and then maybe he can finally get revenge on Dustin...

Watching Dustin dominate him in his last fight was just sad. The way he was easily overwhelmed, taken down, and brutally beaten off his back is a horrible sign. We had never seen Conor get outclassed in a matter of 2 minutes like that. And that was Conor in the first round, 3 years younger. Hell...

Yea I think he'll be fine.

Silva is the better MMA boxer with far better striking defense, offensive grappling, defensive grappling, speed, agility, movement, MMA stamina, durability, chin, reflexes, experience, and fight IQ. What advantages Alex has in his low kicks is quickly muted by the sheer absurd arsenal of fight...

It was insane that he really didn't go out, he was eating those hammer fists in a complete daze. What a unique sequence that led to the KO, it's so rare for fighters to wave a ref off and continue the action. I can't remember a time where a fighter literally grabbed the ref's arm and stopped...

He's okay, he's not getting close to the title though. He's 28, he would have to make immense improvements to compete with the veteran killers in this division. Joe Pyfer is a year younger, and I honestly think he's a better prospect. Bo will get wrecked if he has to actually fight these top...

Poatan is also pretty bad when it comes to reactionary defense, with no ability to pull guard, shoot. or even rely on his defense when he's in danger. Watching him extend his hands as Jiri was blasting him against the cage is extremely worrying, that fight could've easily gone the other way. I...

That's what he says to the media atleast, and he very well might not. But at some point Alex will back toward the cage, and Hill is going to find himself in situations where he could easily attempt to clinch or pepper him from the outside. All it will take is an engagement that puts one of them...

I don't see how Alex is going to avoid eating shots unless he can KO hill in the opening seconds, and I don't see how Hill is going to avoid the left given his punch selection and high pace. If these two fought 10 times, the result would likely be different every time with one of them...

I'm all for some cool custom shorts for the champions. The UFC should've already been doing this a decade ago. Former champions should have badges or marks on their shorts as well. Show love to the 1% of fighters who make it to the top, even if it was only for a moment.

The JBG will punish Chris for his transgressions with a devastating KO loss in his next bout, all will be restored.

Prepare for this to be the standard meta moving forward. You'll get an Islam or Khamzat type of guy every now and then. But as the years go on the guys who will dominate will be those who know how to take advantage of 4oz gloves, it's a cheat code when used correctly from intelligent fighters...

I'm aware of that. In the opening seconds of the fight Chris lifts his LEAD leg, Bisping saw that and tried to equate that to Chris' leg break on his REAR leg. It made no sense whatsoever, and showed Bisping wasn't paying attention to what leg Chris was even using during the fight. His fellow...

Bisping was really shitty, and I'm not even picky when it comes to this stuff. We weren't even 20 seconds into the fight and Bisping was already creating this narrative that the leg break was in Chris' head. Bisping didn't even know which leg Chris had broken, embarrassing stuff.
