Diego Brandao has been cut.

The title makes me think that's due to concern about whther the WWE can thrive in today's market. I.E. it's at risk. Is that not the reason for that case?
Fair enough. But you get my meaning, right?
I agree completely. My point was more that the competition aspect provides a certain logic to the debates there. While talking about UFC buy rates suffering doesn't really have a purpose. No other Orgs are currently poised to overtake it and they're not likely to anytime soon.

That doesn't really have anything to do with the UFC or MMA though? Unless I'm missing your point here.
Can't say I agree. I've been watching steady since 2010, and while things like the Rebook deal are garbage, the roster is far better than it ever has been. In the past 10 months: Rory Macdonald and Robbie Lawler had maybe the greatest fight ever, DC and Gus showcased maybe the most wild and competative LHW fight ever, Holly Holm shocked the world and KO'd Ronda Rousey, Conor Mcgregor dethroned Jose Aldo in 13 seconds, and Nate Diaz shocked the world by dominating the sport's goldenboy.
Also, the future looks good. I'm fucking DYING to see fights like Rafael dos Anjos rematch Khabib Nurmagomedov. That's the very definition of a superfight. (Yes I know it hasn't been announced but IT'S COMING)
*Ahem*
Also stuff like Rory vs Wonderboy. There's so many good fights coming up that are more interesting to talk about than PPV buy rates.
Anthony Pettis opening up for him on the Fight Pass prelims.
So? How is PPV buy rates more interesting? The fights are supposed to be the reason we watch this.
I still give a shit. If you're predicting the outcome of bouts consistently you should be rich and jaded anyway.

199>200>198
Though the allure of potentially seeing Anderson sent to Valhalla makes it close.

Lil Nog is on the fight pass prelims for 198 lol

I didn't know Shogun or Lil Nog were still in the UFC.
Can't say I agree at all. Wonderboy, DJ, Rockhold, and a ton of others are outstanding.
He's basically going to be used to help build young talent now.

I watched the fights to get into the house. That's enough for me.
i only watched the claudia/joanna interaction vid on reddit
https://streamable.com/cfzf
hopefully they make one every week and i actually find it
it is what spurred my claudia is beautiful comment. i think shes the prettiest in UFC IMO
First women's flyweight fight is Letourneau vs Calderwood. It's apparently still up in the air whether or not they will officially open up a flyweight division with a strap, but I guess this is just them testing the water. Is there even enough talent at 125 to warrant a division? Some of the women at 135 would be better off at 125, but 135 already is shallow enough as it is.

I hope they leave Invicta alone.

I still remember seeing him win TUF. It was the same season where John Dodson beat Dillashaw.
He's 6-4 in the UFC, But threatening to shoot people and pistol whipping dudes at a strip club is a bigger L than he'd ever receive fighting. Pissing hot for weed is just the bonus plan.

I think this girl standing next to her looking embarrassed is cute.
Actually everyone in the video except Claudia and Joanna look super embarrassed the whole time.
Did anyone else watch Bellator Italy? Finally got around to it and idk if it was Jimmy Smith or the other guy, but the mic was on the entire night so you could hear his questions to the backstage.
Watching Bellator 153 now. I wonder what Brian Ebersole is up to.

Has NeoGAF went to shit for everyone or just me?
Half of the time the whole page doesn't load. The other half of the time it loads slower than dialup.

I just went back to watch that girl's fight. She was the one who came back in round 2 and made the other girl look like Franklin against Silva after getting dominated for the first round. Hot and a great striker.
Fine for me.
Take out Shogun and replace with this fight.
Thought they were gonna make out.

GAF seems to be working fine now for me. I wonder what the problem was.
It's Shogun's home town, so he's on the main card just because of that.
Expect Joe Rogan to do some epic retirement speech fishing when Shogun gets KFTO by this Beastin' 25/8 dude.

Shes the sole reason im watching TUF 23. Tho having said that, the elimination fights were almost all great, with more finishes than ive seen in a TUF season in years. Last ngihts fight was good too.
But yeah, Claudia. Id let her choke the living shit out of me any day of the week.

I always thought she looked like Thiago Alves.

Shogun should have dropped to 185 after he was emasculated by Jones. He could have had a decent run there if he was motivated enough.
The most important question to ask though is does his brother still own that gas station?

Rogan isn't coming to Brazil, he's afraid of traveling here for some reason.
LOL at motivated Shogun. That never happened and never will.

Basically my point.
The only time I can remember a Shogun camp being notable was his fight with Sonnen (he brought in Freddie Roach and everything). And we all know how well that worked for him.Ninja Scooter

Did Joanna watch Ronda's stint as a TUF coach and say "YOu know, I think I can do a better job of making everyone hate me"?
Claudia
And "the OLD SHOGUN is back!" must be a saying that at this point, is older then his glory days in Pride.
- Should have moved to 185 after losing to Jones
- Should already be retired
- Should run a Gym/Garage with Wanderlei and a reality TV show about it
I hope so. Makes it feel a little less sterile than it already is.
