He wasn't cut by Arman looking at him. He got hit and he bled. You can cry scar tissue if you want. But Arman did more damage in both Rounds 2 and 3, period.

Oliveira's face was bloody after both the 2nd and 3rd rounds. And it wasn't Arman's blood. I think it's pretty cut and dry.

Many kickboxers have tried and failed to transition to MMA. Success in kickboxing doesn't automatically mean success in MMA. Until very recently, actually, success in kickboxing was thought to be a very weak indicator of success in MMA. Only really 2 exceptions have come up recently, but humans...

I just really hope that these Bo Nickal haters put their money where their mouth is in his next fight and bet against him so that the Bo moneyline is a steal. I don't think they will, because deep down they're know they're petty and they're wrong, but it would be awesome to get Bo at a good value.

The only two fighters that aren't booked yet for Bo Nickal are Jack Hermansson and Nassourdine Imavov. Either would be fine. I think Bo should aim to fight next at International Fight Week. This fight, realistically, didn't take much out of him. He should not require a significant turnaround period.

This post is hopelessly uninformed. And boxing as a standalone sport is a game that only idiots play.

There are sort of separate issues to judge here, the first is that you can have a lot of debts and leverage them to increase your net worth. And that James Krause is doing that. I have no doubt that some people do this. I have some doubt that James Krause is doing this. Impossible to say with...

Please please please. Go out on a win. Let this have been the last ride. Please.

Almeida is much more explosive than Romanov and Volkov's wrestling is not as good as Blaydes. I have Almeida. Also, many of you dislike Almeida. Fine. But you have to respect the activity. Matchmakers are always trying to find guys who are willing to fight, and guys always have excuses not to...

Representing football, Trey Ogden and Karl Williams both won tonight.

KOT has an interesting style of wrestling, it's almost like he's grappling in a jiu jitsu match. He's elite and it can beat almost anyone on a good day but there are some people who can up the pace and create holes.

None of them played soccer at any level that would be considered substantially competitive. Also, just as a matter of physics, Conor and Jose are much smaller than typically the MWs/LHWs that come from football. Meanwhile for football players, just very recent results. OSP (Vols) won his fight...

We are in a thread about the athletic potential of Tai Tuivasa and you argue that fighters who win belts are chubby or pudgy. That is objectively incorrect. You also clearly didn't read the comment you were responding to, or show any comprehension of it, because he was saying that Tai needs to...

I understood your comment and it was stupid. I don't know if you're trying to cover for some deep set insecurity. But your analysis was bad and I don't think anyone bought it.

The HW division has been around for a LONG time and there is now a significant accumulation of evidence to demonstrate that the ideal fighting weight is <240 for fighters under 6'1", between 240-250 for fighters between 6'1" and 6'4", and between 250-260 for fighters 6'5" and above. You're...

Some UFC fans are ridiculous. This is not a "Drop in the bucket" to any profit motivated company. There was never any realism to a damages cap of 1.6 billion. But anything to characterize it as a "UFC win." My assessment was that the fighters had a weak legal case. I am surprised that the UFC...

Add this to the evidence that the optimal male fighting weight is between 245 and 250 pounds. Fighters who walk around above 265 and have to actually cut as heavyweights tend to perform very poorly relative to their leaner counterparts.

It's 2024. A little known football player who Scott Coker gave a shot as a 5-4 fighter in Strikeforce, and then invited onto Strikeforce Challengers at 7-4 in 2010, just won a main card fight in the UFC.

Caveat this with the fact that I am a huge fan of his, I'd be devastated if he ever lost, and I'm rooting for him in every fight. I've been snakebitten a lot by the short stocky wrestler type. I hope I'm just being too picky and that I'm wrong, like I literally would love to be wrong. I just...

Newman for me is one of a brand of guys you really only see coming from wrestling and jiu jitsu, never from like boxing or kickboxing (and those guys have their separate issues). Type of guy really loves the idea of being a "fighter." Really does not like fighting. Guys who are constantly...
