So guys... oldest MMA active fighter that still "has it"?, i was left wondering that after BJ's assasination.
Anderson Silva probably.

I'm seeing on wiki that Bader was released by UFC? Is that accurate? When did that happen? Did Bellator pick him up?
He didn't renew his contract. Looks like he's trying to do some bargaining for a title fight:
The big fight being DC vs. AJ which never happened.

Huh I feel like I totally missed all that news. This is reminding me though - I guess Lorenz Larkin is still shopping his services around too? I haven't heard of him renewing with the UFC.
Hendo beat the world champ with no testosterone.
I don't know much about Brunson, is this a tough challenge for Andy? I'd like to see him make a run again.
Brunson is tough. Anderson in his prime would probably have no trouble. But Anderson hasn't had a win since 2012.
I think Silva will get the win in this fight and I think he would beat Bisping in a rematch.
I feel like Bisping has had two gift decisions. If you look at the Hendo and Andy fights there is a case for him losing both of those. (probably less so on the Hendo one )
Damn I haven't laughed so hard in a while. Thank you for this.
Yeah, don't think I will miss a douchebag who says soldiers that suffer from PTSD are pussies, that he has no remorse over killing women and children overseas while serving, etc. etc. Seeing him get fucked up Gastellum was perfect.

Anderson, Bisping, Belfort, Barnett, Arlovski, Hunt.
All of them have been at it over 10 years. Over 20 in some cases.
What the fu...
If he actually wants the fight, he'll keep stoking the flames for public interest as long as he pleases.
Dana will just keep poking for free rides on First Take and ride the wave.

it's the other way around. Floyd is a retired boxer who hasn't fought in a year and he's getting more shine from Dana than anybody on the UFC roster. Floyd is playing Dana like a fiddle.

Not to mention his Nazi-hunting jig for some tv channel, basically believing in crazy Nazi conspiracies.
The dude is an idiot.
I'm a little sad that he retired so we won't get to see him get KTFO at least 1 more time. I did become a lifetime fan of Gastellum after that fight though.

Ya fuck TK. That's why I didn't care about Yoel taking his time between rounds and then ko'ing him. I mean, Yoel looks capable of doing really fucked up things without regret too but if he's talked about it no one understood.

Then come to the afterparty at the Trump Tower for "Saige & Page Aryan Superman Live Fuck Show".
I'd watch that.

Tyron and Wonderboy playing fighter charades against DC and Florian.
These two gonna be bros by the end of it all.
Imagine this shit with Conor and Nate though, lol.

I'm not sure Woodley gets why people don't like him:
Yeah bro we get it you want to make your money now but how about instead of trying to latch on to Conor's dick you make a fucking name for yourself as champ? Go out and beat Wonderboy and Mia.
Right now he's a champ who is calling out name fighters because he knows they are the draw.
- He didn't fight for almost a year yet he thinks he can just call his shots
- He's calling out the 145 champ (now 155) and a retired old fighter in GSP instead of defending the belt
- He beat a FOTN machine in Lawler with What many feel was a lucky win
- His last fight was a fucking draw. He didn't defend so what right does he have to call shots.

Thompson needs to knock Woodley out completely. How unlikeable can you be?

Woodley seems like hes aiming to be a heel but has overshot the mark and landed on 'total wanker'.
I loved when he tried to make a race argument for why he isnt popular. Then tried to make out that Demitrious isnt popular cause hes black and says "Where's his big sponsors??". Uh you know he was sponsored by fucking Xbox right?
"And as soon as Jon Jones slips on a banana peel the UFC throws him under a bus". Yeah, he slipped on a banana peel, landed on a sackful of coke and smashed his head against the ignition of his car and flew forward into a fucking pregnant womans car.

An undervalued point of Woodley's "wait for a shot" popularity backfire, is that he sat out during a year and a half window that might have been some of the biggest growth in MMA.
Rousey and McGregor, two of the sports biggest names, became massive stars in that time. It elevated everyone that fought on their cards, bringing in even more water cooler type talk between people that don't watch every single event.
You have to be recognizable by the casual fans, and I guarantee there is a lot of people that saw him for the first time when he beat Lawler. While Lawler was a fan favorite, his PPV numbers let you know that he never reached critical mass like GSP had. Welterweight has a lot of fantastic fights and fighters, but for whatever reason (and it sure as hell ain't race) - they have not reached the stardom of other classes since the likes of GSP.
If he spent as much time in the cage as he did whining on podcasts and TV interviews (and won), he could be a star. He thinks he deserves what he hasn't earned yet. And if people disagree, it's because race.

That gif still gives me chills. Big John did a podcast not too long ago where he was giving details of that fight saying how he was actually seeing Rory swallow his own blood from that broken nose. WTF.

I think that, and Jones v Gus are probably the two most violentest fights i can think of. Like the kind of fights you genuinely feel guilty for enjoying because you can practically see a fighters IQ go down permanently with each shot
I should rewatch that fight, it was so fucking good.
