Relegate the girl fights to undercards and Invicta. I'm tired of watching these god damn decision fests as a co-main or main event.

I called it that Tony would get KO'd :lol

Figured by fists and not a head kick though.

Rose, Zhang, Joanna have all had epic matches

The division is really limited, but they can have great entertaining fights

This was just awful coaching by Rose's team, and she's now saying she should have gotten points for "good defense"... So she's not very smart either, having basically been raised by Pat Barry since she was a kid.

not all female MMA are boring as hell ... for example:


fliptuner 05-09-2022 07:13 PM

Chandler's kick wasn't like Machida or Silvia's kick either. It was a straight up, full force, field goal.

GLOW 06-12-2022 08:10 AM

pretty good main card, thought all the fights delivered.

mikemhg 07-01-2022 09:52 AM

It's time, White.

1. Addy
2. Volk
3. Pereira

whitev70r 07-01-2022 10:52 AM

Pretty uneventful UFC 276 ... hardly heard anything about it but OK, I'll go with:
1. Cannonier .. just for the hell of it
2. Volk
3. Strickland

whitev70r 07-02-2022 09:15 PM

:buttrock: mikemhg .. you got all three picks.

Agree ... sleeper of a night, pretty boring event. I didn't even bother finding livestream.

SkinnyPupp 07-02-2022 09:33 PM

Fighters are too evenly matched now, so we don't get those superstar making performances like Anderson or GSP where they were just so much better than everyone else it was ridiculous

Even huge fights that are well promoted where you want to see one guy clobber the other, like Usman vs Covington, end up feeling like let downs.. Because even if the fight was a good back and forth fight, we never really got that happy moment or even a finish. Then the feud just ends.

This makes it more of a 'true sport' but also much less exciting a lot of the time.

God I miss the Pride days most of all

Bring back the juice, no one cares about drug testing in the UFC.

mikemhg 07-03-2022 12:22 PM

Shit I should've placed a treble bet on the card..

Think this is why you'll see UFC or some other organization rise up sometime in the future and put on "fun" fights. Guys of different weight classes against each other, or old veteran Pride style fights.

Pretty big reason why guys like Jake Paul and a lot of these circus act boxing fights have gained so much popularity.

People have become bored with two top contenders having a stalemate in the ring with one another. Too much parity nowadays.

SkinnyPupp 07-17-2022 07:21 PM

Fight Night on ABC was quite good minus the main event... Poor Li had his Chinese flag taken away from him by UFC lol.. I guess they want him to be the babyface and you can't be a Chinese babyface in 2022? Great KO by him too

whitev70r 07-18-2022 08:16 AM

Meisha Tate should probably retire and be a coach or an IG influencer?

I couldn't beleive she was the favourite in a match! If I'd known I would have bet against her and I almost never bet.

whitev70r 07-30-2022 02:05 PM

Not a whole lot interesting on the card tonight ... milking the Nunes and Pena rematch. Derrick Lewis always entertaining post fight.

I'll say Nunes comes back with a vengeance and wins this one.

mikemhg 07-31-2022 09:16 AM

That Nunes/Pena fight was brutal at the end there, tough girl.

Rest of the card was whatever.

GLOW 07-31-2022 10:40 AM

any reason why costa/rockhold got moved back to august?
costa needed more weight to cut to 215lb? :lol

whitev70r 07-31-2022 07:53 PM

Damn ... I know Nunes won but she got pretty messed up


SkinnyPupp 07-31-2022 08:15 PM

Awesome to hear she got the belt back and it sounds like it was a war. Will have to check it out. Thanks for the tip to skip the rest of the show lol

GLOW 08-17-2022 10:02 AM

chito vs cruz anyone watch? i missed it but caught then end

mikemhg 08-18-2022 10:55 AM

White... it's time...

whitev70r 08-18-2022 04:21 PM

Usman vs. Edwards? I gotta go with Usman ... other ones on the card are meh ..

GLOW 08-19-2022 07:49 AM

i'm stoked about costa vs rockhold
i want rockhold to win, i just worry he'll end up in the upside down/shadowrealm

mikemhg 08-19-2022 10:03 AM

I'll never bet against Usman.
