Already wrote up my thoughts on MM's comments.

Mighty Mouse has some valid points as you noted, but I fear he's too invested in MMA as a sport and completely missing the sports entertainment aspect. I've given him more respect since his last fight than I have in the past and I'm always happy to see a company man turn on Dana White and call bullshit when they see it - but he is a contractor for a business and he easily has the least drawing power of any other champion in the organization. With a record like his that just seem ridiculous.

 

[Heel]

Mighty Mouse has main evented on the UFC's biggest platform multiple times in front of millions of people, has Joe Buck talking about him on Sundays, and now goes home to stream Tekken in front of 400 people on the internet.

"Make me popular!"

This dude is clueless.

 

[RBelong2Us]

In this case I think there's a middle ground and both parties are in the wrong.

 

[FUME5]

Lot of bullshit financial practices in the UFC, but MM doesn't do himself any favors.

 

[Rumblebones]

Mighty Mouse is a big gamer. The gaming industry is huge, it's bigger than film. Why is he not at gaming conventions? Guesting on huge gaming channels? There are lots of way the UFC could market him. They clearly want the UFC games to take off and be successful? Why not appoint the P4P #1 to its ambassador, why not market him alongside it, he could be demoing UFC 3 on stage with EA at their press conference for E3. The UFC is owned by WME, it's not like they don't have connections.

"stacked"

Why are you chatting shit? You clearly have no clue.

 

[FUME5]

Injured Cody Gabrant still wrestles with the boys:

DJ should go to 135 and let new guys bang it out for the 125 strap. But DJ wont because he likes being the champ.

Cody vs. DJ would actually be a fight I would be interested to see which has DJ in it.

 

[brentech]

Every time I see Cody outside the cage I like him less.

 

[alr1ght]

 

[Dysun]

hes got that look in his eyes joe

 

[alr1ght]

Chuck Liddell got higher billing than Ivan Fucking Drago.

 

[Sato Koiji]

Liddell is perma ko'd it seems. That Rich Franklin right hand shot didnt do him any favors let me tell ya.

 

[Chesskid1]

it's been a while since the UFC decided to spam UFC events in hopes of gaining popularity.

something almost every weekend! ngl i enjoy it.

 

[SwipeLeftHoney]

He's been off long enough to recover from that I would think. My concern with Liddell is how his past drug use has affected him today. He was quite the junkie during his fighting days.

I honestly think DJ just wants to secure the record before moving up a weight class. He's always talked about moving up and I think him breaking the record and moving up gives him a fast track to an immediate title shot in that weight class or at least a number 1 contenders match.

 

[alr1ght]

Holy shit dem ears on Ponzibobo

Gastellum stretched to 16:9

 

[iddqd]

Man, that's a real "against the wall" fight for Weidman.
And its in NY again.

Rockholt is chilling and Weidman is looking to join his buddy Al as a Realtor

 

[FUME5]

Who have people got for Hunt vs Black Beast?

 

[RBelong2Us]

I can't get over how f*cked up The Weidman looks since that Romero fight .

His left eye is basically a black hole.

 

[zewone]

Who have people got for Hunt vs Black Beast?

Beast. Just because Hunt is being forced into this fight by the UFC who he is suing. Feel like there's a lot of distractions.

Like Jake Ellenberger

then

now

 

[FUME5]

Yeah, normally I'd back Hunt against Lewis, even at this stage in his career, but I have to think all the behind the scenes bullshit is going to play a factor.

 

[RBelong2Us]

Hunt probably heads over to Bellator regardless after this, no?

 

[FUME5]

I thought he still had another fight on his contract after this one?

Got no problem seeing him sleep some chumps in Bellator for another year or two though.

 

[Haunted]

I can almost hear the stage direction: "try to look really intense, Chuck!"

looks like a deer caught in headlights

 

[Haunted]

DJ wrote up a post about his disagreements with Dana about the TJ/Ray Borg situation.

damn man

charge your phone

 

[Syder]

 

[Fox318]

I'm in the process of buying Bellator NYC tickets

Should I go through with it?

But if I do that I miss one of my gym members fight in a kickboxing match for his 4th title.

ughh

UFC chief Dana White buys 3 homes in exclusive Las Vegas area
https://www.reviewjournal.com/busin...ite-buys-3-homes-in-exclusive-las-vegas-area/

Oh Dana baby, need that much space? Come on!

 

[iddqd]

Man, this fight card is shows me that I'm just a casual.
Going to watch highlights tomorrow and do something else with this Saturday.
War Black Beast!

 

[Rumblebones]

Well damn. Ben 10 just annihilated Tim Elliot.

 

[TheChits]

Well damn. Ben 10 just annihilated Tim Elliot.

Incredibly impressive

 

[Rumblebones]

Incredibly impressive

49 seconds, and by submission.

Yeah, that's impressive. He'll be challenging for the belt within the year. If the division is still up, that is.

 

[Rumblebones]

Yo this main card is shaping up amazingly well.

Cutelaba is metal as fuck.

 

[BadAss2961]

Da Silva looked shook when Cutelaba stepped to him in the intros. Not surprised by the quick knockout.

 

[Obliterator]

That knee was fucking nasty

 

[Rumblebones]

That knee was picture perfect.

This card is low-key awesome.

 

[MG310]

Good thing the ref got in there immediately so he didn't take more than one of those shots without the mouthguard

 

[Obliterator]

This main card = everyone gets finishes

 

[Chumley]

Holy fucking shit, Brunson does not play.

 

[Rumblebones]

ded

 

[Premium Quality]

What a left!

 

[Rumblebones]

A patient, disciplined Brunson is trouble for anyone in middleweight. Hope he keeps it up like this.

 

[Chumley]

I have Black Beast on this.

 

[Guru-Guru]

Yeah, I got Black Beast too. Hunt's chin is kinda gone, I can see him getting knocked out again.

 

[Rumblebones]

I got Beast, but I ain't ever counting out Hunto.

 

[Chumley]

Why the fuck does Beast keep backing up into the cage?

 

[Rawr Its Ry]

Damn what happened to Mark's foot

 

[Guru-Guru]

Why the fuck does Beast keep backing up into the cage?

Yeah, it's frustrating to see him just constantly back to the cage.
