Gonna miss Burt so much. :'<

Check out Conor's newest interview. Still the man, as always.

slater: I love your boy Tyrone Spong but his last fight was shameful. I understand he's coming back from a broken leg, but he just boxed a complete can who's record is 7 and 37. Come on man. That's sad. I feel terrible for the guy who just got fed to a lion with that overhand right. lul.

damn, whoever put that fight together should be admitted ASAP for total brain failure. I understand he has no boxing experience but he's been a world champ level fighter for 10 years.. the fuck. Glad to see him come back soon tho

some more dutch combat history, Lucia Rijker, the greatest female combat athlete of all time. Altho I'd say Rousy is in contention for that title now.

As for dominant females, hope we see Jorina Baars kick some more ass too, dunno if she has much competition at 145 with kickboxing or m-thai tho. MMA doesnt seem to be her thing

amazing footage of Spong, Belfort and Holzken training with Pedro Diaz

thoughts on 185? good card

Pettis is my favorite fighter. So you know who my pick is. Haven't seen many of the other fights on the card. I'll be rooting for Matt Brown because he's a boss underdog. Big Country vs Overeem right? Excited for that. Should be fireworks. Interested to see the women's championship fight. Haven't gotten to check either of these women's skill set, so I'll be tuned in fer sher.
Let's be real for a second. I have never in my life seen a champion get dominated the way Esparza got dominated by Jedrzejczyk. I loved it. Hate the way Esparza fights. Nothing but takedowns. Im glad there is an exciting strawweight champion now.

Yo Smutt how hard did you cream over Cro Cop's comeback.

Rockhold Machida and Holoway Swanson gone be good.

I creamed realllllll friggin hard. Cro Cop is my guy. Shit almost got me choked up. I agree with what you said about those fights. Gonna be real fun. Holloway is super talented for his age.
Same here I got legit chocked up when those elbows landed with that ferocity, like damn the man had such a rough ufc run and comes back like this at 40. Must feel amazing.
My thoughts exactly. He's a legend. Super fit for his age also.
Conor is a boss. I love his attitude. A young Ali in the game. By the wayyyyyy, Luke Rockhold. Holy shattt.

Heh, I actually think he's a rather loud turd for 90% of his airtime, which to be fair is partly by being oversaturated but I find some of it entertaining as long as he's fighting like he has been.

I expected Rockhold to win, that second round doesnt really count and was sad to see Machida go out like that. Still, its obvious Rockhold is physically dominant in that division. He just needed the control and restraint, which he started to show against Bisping.

Also expected Holloway to turn up big/was worried for Cub, god damn he looked so great and his growth has been amazing to watch for the past 2 years. Very happy for him, curious how his high volume striking works out in 5 round fights and against smothering fighters like Mendez/Edgar and people with KO power and more volume than Cub like Aldo, McGreggor. 

I also have kept an eye on Holloway for a while. His skill set always intrigued me. Smooth boxing. He fights very relaxed, which I can appreciate.
there's a bit of a Diaz bro vibe on his style with a bit more snap in the punches + leg strikes, which is a great concept.

wtf was that ref doing in the Hunt Miocic fight, let a heavyweight fighter beat on someone needlessly for another 1.5 rounds. is he some morbid braindamage fetishist?

 

havent watched glory 21 yet, will do tomorrow probably

Sadly, I didn't see it. Gotta look it up now. I heard Hunt got a whoopin. :'( that's my guy.

Ah, yeah it wasnt pretty. Rest of the card was fun tho. Youre a jits guy right? Joe lauzon and josh barnett had some fun contests in metamoris 6.

I just checked the results. Haven't seen any of the last three Metamoris events. That's a good win for Josh. Nice, I'll watch it.

I'm going to find a way to watch the recent UFC card. Been busy lately. I used to watch every card from earliest prelim to the end.

that should help, and yeah its tricky to watch everything. Theres some big cards coming up tho, should be good times

Those were good matches. Lauzon is so hard to finish. He stays active. Impressive D'Arce.

Manilla card was decent, Glory 21 was alright but we know we've been waiting for this one forever.

Hot diggity damn what a fucking card.

I want to see Vitor win for some gut reason, like I know the TRT stuff and weedmayne being the favorite but it would just be such an amazing finish to his legendary career.

I dont care who wins in the DC vs Rumble fight, I just want to see some superhuman stuff go down

 

I support his TRT use. They test him more than anyone in the sport. That's enough for me. WAR VITOR!

Just found out there's a Lion Fight card tomorrow with Tiffany van Soest on it

Damn bro. Her technique is sharp. Thanks for sharing.
So yeah 187 main card was dope. Dodson dissapointed. Tif van Doest destroyed btw, shes champ again. Comeback of Condit this weekend, should be fun.

co main and main were great of last nights fight night, parke got robbed imo, either it was a draw with a 10-8 round in the second or park won 29-28

Condit just fucking brought it in round 2 holy fucking shit it's terrifying how he finds the perfect attack at any spacing

dont be eating when watching this

 
alves his nasal bone

 

Condit vs Matt Brown next pl0x, the god of war demands it

btw Chris Weidman said he had to poop really badly from before the walkout but didnt feel he could hold the card up lmao, guy was shitting his pants so he finished it quick. a relieving quick win has never been so literal

smutt you'd probably enjoy this

It's hilarious how well you know me. Literally watching this right now, before you mentioned it. Fucking love this guy.

P.S. - Am I the only person who expected Jon Jones to do something mega douchey like his hit and run? They've got video footage now and the audio from the 911 call. He's fucked. RIghtfullly so.

haha, that's amazing.

Well, I was kinda half/half on the coke thing earlier. Like Ive done coke so I dont wanna be a dick about it, but doing it so close to a title defense is like.. priorities are obviously not right. Add to that that he's a cocky young guy who has the world on his dick.. yeah I guess this would happen. Then the run part was extra douche, like holy shit are you for real you fucking dummy dickwad, the fuck did you figure that was gonna do.

I have no idea what kinda time stands for that, but I assume he's gonna serve time right.
