It was a 50-50 fight. Oliveira won Round 1 and Tsarukyan won Round 2. Tsarukyan won the first part of Round 3, but then Oliveira caught him in a D'Arce choke that Tsarukyan was unable to escape. Given that Tsarukyan needed to be saved the bell, there is a very logical argument that he lost Round 3.
He could fight at abudhabiweight. The powers that be in Abu Dhabi love money and McGregor fights still generate the most money by far. He is responsible for each of the Top 7 highest selling PPV cards in MMA history. His last 2 fights rank in the Top 4 all time.
The Emiratis welcomed McGregor...
There is a very vocal minority of curmudgeons in their fifties that romanticize any fighter that racked up some wins in PRIDE. When their idols got exposed, they looked for any shred of hope to cling on to.
Despite Shogun's numerous losses, they thought that a close decision over Lil Nog, a...
Really strange post. Gooram is one of the most egregious pullout merchants in the UFC. Over the past 4 years, he has pulled out of 5 fights and only fought 3 times. He has always been extremely inactive.
They already booked Umar vs Sandhagen. It was the main event for a Fight Night card last August. The result was Umar pulled out without explanation, just like he has done many times before.
Umar has been scheduled to fight 10 times in the UFC, but he has only showed up to 5 of them. It's...
Cain had the highest peak and was the most talented of any heavyweight in MMA history. His peak was so short, albeit mostly due to injuries, that he can't be considered the greatest of all time.
Look how Cain treated 33 year old Big Nog's head like a speed bag.
Had 33 year old Fedor came...
In the end, Khabib was chased out of the lightweight division because it got to the point where he could only "make weight" on Abu Dhabi scales. Since then, almost all of his training partners have been caught using PED's, including Usman Nurmagomedov.
That's actually an interesting point. When Conor completely destroyed Alvarez at UFC 205, Khabib got rocked by Michael Johnson.
Khabib was buried on the undercard because he had been struggling to make lightweight for years and kept pulling out of fights.
In September 2014, Khabib was...
Fedor's biggest strength was fighting in a roped square. After the fall of PRIDE, fighting in caged octagons became the overwhelming standard for MMA. Fedor refused to evolve with the standards of the sport and stuck to fighting in roped squares for years.
When Fedor fought middleweight Matt...
The military service lasts 1 year and 9 months at most and often it is only 1 year and 6 months. Chan Sung Jung chose to sit out nearly 4 years because he was always a very inactive fighter.
