Yep. It's always the ones that "should" suck that are the greatest. Remember UFC 73 Stacked? That card sucked.
Yeah I don't get it. You're not the only one here saying they're both trash.

You're an OG in this MMA-GAF game... 😂

Because mma-gaf apparently means ufc-gaf. Chandler is good. He has beaten good competition. Would he beat Khabib? Doubtful. But just because a guys locked in at Bellator doesn't mean he is trash.

Let's be best friends.
Also... can't stand Holloway, he is dumb as hell. Wants to sound all badass and instead sounds like a doofus... dresses like one too.

Just got back from the event! I was worried it wouldn't be as good live, but I had a great time! How's everyone doing here in the threa-
Wow jealous you got to be at that card live! It was a fantastic one
Greatttt night of fights.
Brown looked pretty great up until Cowboy kicked his head back into the forest he came from. I'm enjoying Cowboys career resurgence at 170. A Maia or Condit fight seems like the right move right now.
Wasn't overly impressed by neither guys' performance in the main event but Holloway did what he came to do and delivered on his hype. Pettis looked just as awful as he had in his last couple of fights. Those body kicks were pretty vicious and it's pretty sad to see Pettis on such a downward spiral. Vannata would actually be a great fight at this point but might be a little early for the Groovy one to get that one.
Damn the real main event. Cub and Choi with the fucking banger. Choi was looking Fujita/Hunt-esque out there eating Cub's best shots. Choi almost finishing Cub in the 2nd and Cub blasting down the machine gun hammer fists after dropping him with the spinning elbow were absolutely insane. They both pretty much dropped any technical striking when the first round ended and went into Just Bleed mode. Hoping these guys got some good undisclosed bonuses.
I say Choi-Stephens and Swanson/Lamas 2 or Yair should be the path to take right now.

Landos KO and Cub/Choi made this event.
Everybody needed Holloways victory anyway so it ended perfectly. Pettis cant get out of his hole.

Gah I was at a bbq and only one other person wanted to watch the fights so we got out voted even though we offered to pay.
Still better than being in this thread last night, apparently. Wtflol.

In 1951, I saw Kimura beat Helion. I was in the crowd when Judo Gene beat Milo Savage in 1963. In 1975 I walked Bob Dylan on stage. Who the fuck are you?

Tony is willing to fight Habeeb for the interim title. Oh boy, OH BOY!!

Good, at least these interim champs get PPV points.
He hasn't defended the belt in 4 weeks. Strip Conor.

He won't have defended it for a lot longer than that by the time he gets back. If Conor is looking at 10 months off, that doesn't necessarily means he'll be fighting 10 months from now. That could be when he gets back in the gym to begin preparations for his return.
With a murderer's row at 155 of active fighters waiting on their shot, I can see the merit of an interim title, much as I loathe them or think Conor not only has a very valid reason to take break and but has also deserved it for being so insanely active.
Schedule the interim in 10 months then.
It's been 4 weeks.
People can fight without a fake belt on the line and understand the implications of each win and loss without an interim belt.

How comes UFC keeps putting Page Van Zant and Sage Northcutt on the same cards together?

You say that like it's up to the fans to decide when McGregor defends his title. It's not, and because we don't know when he will be defending his title, all we can do is speculate. Given the fact he wants to go on paternity for 10 months to spare his missus the stress of his lifestyle, I don't think he'll start camp towards the end of his leave to be ready to defend his title on the 10 month mark. I just don't see it. Though, of course, that's speculation.
I'm not a fan of interim belts, but having the belt means a lot more to the fighters than it does to us because they'll be renegotiating their contracts, i.e. there's money on the line and these dudes got mouths to feed and bills to pay on top of wanting to reap the benefits of their hard work.
If I'm Tony Ferguson or Khabib Nurmagomedov and I've been busting my ass all these years to get my hands on the title and the guy that leapfrogged you to fighting for it not only wins but decides to take close to a year minimum break, then fuck it, let me fight whoever is next in line for that interim belt and set myself up for a title unification payday.
The promotion is hoping the two of them breed and create a new species.

They could solve all of this by, instead of churning out interim titles, they created Intercontinental and TV titles.

I saw Van Zant knock out Bec Rawlings with the karate kid kick and it worked. I saw it but still cant believe it. I think based on that fact alone Bec should be cut. Come on, man...
While that's all well and good, I don't understand why these fighters would align with Bjorn Rebney of all people instead of Jeff Borris.

Already looking slimy. Was everyone on stage repped by CAA?

I only caught the end of the Cowboy/Brown fight where Goldie said Brown got kicked to the body and Rogan had to tell him it was a clean head kick ko.
And then when Max had Pettis in side control Goldie said he is definitely not letting Pettis up from this and Max immediately stood up.
I'm gonna miss Goldie's comic timing.

I mean, I have no damn idea, but Cowboy said he had no idea Bjorn was involved either and almost wanted to back out when he found out.
He acknowledged other guys were there for more years, but said he just wanted protection for fighters and though my he should show up.
The presentation of the UFC is so unbelievably bland and predictable.
Its like they want to emulate that other sports don't experiment with different angles and shit.

That's my mixed martials, friends.
Chinzo and King Kevin.
Bad MMA never die.
Bellator picked up Kevin Casey? I thought he was WSOF or RFA bound for sure.

Oh man, this is the best card of the decade.
You ever see this one? best Goldbergism ever.
It sounds like his brain broke trying to say JJ's name.

That's what I love about him. Most announcers would practice saying a name they know they'll have to say often but he's just like fuck it, my mouth will work out the details on its own.
its funny khabib fans seem to forget about all these sick wrestlers in the UFC over the years, everyone thought their takedowns are just too good, no one can stop their takedown.. until they run into someone that can, then these amazing takedown artists have this look on their face, like holy shit, im facing a striker 5x better than me and i have no idea what to do now, then two years later they are cut by the UFC

I guess that's what happens to your face when you're willing to take punches to give them ie the Nogs and Wanderlei.
