And the forced out champ:

Stipe better keep his ass sitting down. The guy is in his 40's and is basically retired at this point.

I don't even want to see the fight happen, Jones will brutalize this man.

His biggest threat is Francis, if Dana was smart he'd throw the man his $$$ and make the fight happen.

No one wants to see Jones/Stipe.

I see a big event coming up this weekend, UFC 286 with Usman and Edwards. I think Usman will hand Edwards his arse ... Edwards be talking trash after a lucky kick. I pick Usman.

The other one, Gaethje and Fiziev .. don't know the other guy that well, haven't followed him so go with the known figher, hard hitting Gaethje?

mikemhg 03-16-2023 01:10 PM

I can't bet against my fellow Nigerian, Usman.

I'll take Gaethje though :lol

whitev70r 03-18-2023 07:36 PM

Oh my ... I must say, I am surprised !!

mikemhg 03-19-2023 10:24 AM

Very surprised. Looks like the Usman era is over. It's crazy how quickly age catches up to you in your mid-30s. He looked much different from even 2 years ago.

whitev70r 03-19-2023 12:29 PM

^ yah, never seen him get hit in the head as much as this fight.

100% he looked far from "the next GSP" that he did even one year ago when he was dominating Edwards before getting caught. Not that he looked bad - he will be a threat for anyone wanting to reach the top for a while. Just not quite the same anymore. I don't know if it was age (10 years of MMA is a fucking lot) or his mental or what (maybe coming back to fight this guy wasn't a good idea?), but he's just not the same.

whitev70r 03-19-2023 07:19 PM

I know there was a lot of trash talking prior to fight between Edwards and Usman but props to him for conciliatory Octagon interview. Father time has caught up with a great one.

He's 35 and has the knees of a 60 year old. He can't even do roadwork because his knees are so bad.

I'd say he still has a few good fights in him, but I think we're coming to the end of his career here.

This ref ... so incompetent. Should be fined and fired


fliptuner 03-27-2023 01:12 PM

Ivan Drago is a ref now?

SkinnyPupp 04-02-2023 03:37 PM

Well the first MMA thread is long gone, but many of us (ha!) predicted that WWE and UFC would eventually merge, since they are the exact same type of product. That fact made some people very mad, but I don't think those people come here any more.

Too bad for them, because, that's finally happening now!

Vince McMahon and Mark Shapiro, co-chairmen of UFC LUL

Also


Edit: It's official. Vince will be an executive chairman of Endeavor, while Dana is the president of the UFC side. So Vince is Dana White's boss now LUL

Dana might have gotten a promotion too if he hadn't been caught slapping the shit out of his wife recently


GLOW 04-03-2023 07:52 AM

saw this on the news, i wonder if there'll be cross over in to story lines similar how ATT / dan lambert was on Impact storylines

MarkyMark 04-03-2023 10:16 AM

If they are truly merging can the UFC fighters start juicing again please

whitev70r 04-03-2023 11:44 AM

Hasn't storylines already crossed ...Lesnar?

mikemhg 04-03-2023 12:23 PM

WTF I thought this was April fools.

BlackV62K2 04-03-2023 12:55 PM

UFC is going to turn into some clown fight league with fighters doing cringey WWE style promotions.

I've been enjoying the fights coming out of One Championship more recently

You mean it'll be the same as it's been since the 90's? LUL

BlackV62K2 04-03-2023 03:47 PM

Vince to legalize flying elbows off the top of the octagon lol

GLOW 04-03-2023 07:40 PM

chairs/ladders/tables match in the octagon

GLOW 04-04-2023 06:58 AM

i'm already picturing conor in his accent saying DVon...GET DA TABLE!!!!

Tim Budong 04-04-2023 08:29 AM

we need Connor vs Cody in a power slap competition

mikemhg 04-05-2023 05:30 PM

We need them to get rid of USADA.

I wanna see jacked up roided guys fighting again. TRT Vitor, Ubereem, the sport was so much more fun when they weren't testing like that.

I miss those old Pride days of the super freaks, hopefully ol' Vince will bring that back.

You'll see it when Conor comes out of retirement 20 lbs heavier EleGiggle

And that's not a joke, it's his exact plan.

I agree though, there's too many geeks and guys with beards and fuzzy hats in UFC to make it interesting. And the more appealing fighters like Usman are losing their touch. Bring back the freak shows! I hope it gets popular in Japan again somehow. They love kickboxing right now, mostly lighter weights.

mikemhg 04-06-2023 11:07 AM

We saw longer and better careers as well when they allowed these guys to take TRT.

Look how quickly guys like Usman and such fall off once they hit mid-30's, the drop off is HUGE.

We'd be able to see longer careers again, which is wicked from a star-power standpoint.
