Mousasi calling out Weidman on his bullshit.

"I don't give a fuck, I won"

 

[Macattk15]

Is Floyd / Connor actually happening?

Yes.

 

[Chumley]

"Do you want me to dye my hair blonde what the fuck" LOL Mousasi

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Mousasi is shooting

 

[parrotbeak]

Lol I like shit talking Mousasi

 

[cchum]

No contract mousasi is best mousasi

 

[Ninja Scooter]

"YOu see guys fight til 47, you think that's fucking natural?"

 

[Chumley]

"You see guys fighting to 47 you think that's natural?"

edit: beaten, but still lol

 

[parrotbeak]

LMAO Gegard going in hard on everyone.

 

[Chumley]

I agree with him that if he has to do a rematch it should be in Holland.

 

[Obliterator]

Is Floyd / Connor actually happening?

Yes. 100%

 

[Chumley]

Rumble is up

 

[AnotherDayAnotherDollar]

Mousasi going in hard, but it's not racism/xenophobia like he implied. Like Dana said, Netherlands/Iran do not buy cards when he fights the way Ireland buys them when McGregor fights, Brazil buys when Silva fights, or England buys when Bisping fights.

 

[Donthizz#]

pay the fucking man

 

[Chumley]

lmao are you going into business raising dogs

 

[Rhaknar]

Rumble seems like a nice guy

 

[parrotbeak]

Not dogs cuz you can't get rich on dogs. What's he going to get rich on? TV?

He also is a pretty boring personality (and fighter at times). If we saw the Mousasi of that post-fight more often maybe he'd be a bigger draw but he doesn't seem like the type of dude.

I'm betting on a high end personal security company or something.

Rumble's reaction when asked about the Rams was odd. He seemed like a little kid caught in a lie for some reason lol.

 

[Chumley]

Rumble not ruling out maybe returning one day later to fight at heavyweight.

 

[Obliterator]

Rumble is pretty old to just be starting an NFL career. That's pretty surprising if he really has some sort of offer on the table from the Rams

Unless it's something with the team/front office, like in a trainer position or something. Who knows?

I mean.. it's The Rams.

More seriously though he could maybe make the practice squad or even ride the bench and make decent money.

[parrotbeak]

Hahahahha, "some of you have been dickheads"

 

[Ninja Scooter]

I'm starting to think that Rumble doesn't know what his job is. He's gonna wake up tomorrow morning and log in to Monster.com.

 

[Kelsdesu]

Sits at home quietly being the best lb for lb champion of all time.

Is more inspired more by Dr. Disrespect than Anderson Silva.

UFC again... Really needs to start paying these guys.

Lol given Rumbles seeming level of intelligence this wouldn't surprise me. (Still seems like a super nice dude though, despite the rumors of his past history of violence outside the cage)

DJ couldn't draw flies to shit. It's not like there are competing MMA promotions that would be knocking down his door.

 

[Chumley]

Rumble is kind of a contradiction. He seems incredibly nice and sweet but on the other hand clearly has a dark side and enjoys the "alpha male" shit.

 

[TunaMarshmallow]

Rumble Johnson wishes to be remembered as a guy who "never gave up."

Gave up five times. In the same way.

 

[parrotbeak]

Rumble's going to wake up tomorrow morning and say, ok I just want everyone here with me. Where's my family? Where is everyone? Uhhh, where'd everyone go?

Was I mistaken or did he not even lift his hands off the mat to defend the choke tonight?

Quit enough for his coaches to leave him in the cage alone.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Rumble's gonna wake up tomorrow morning like

[phaonaut]

Surprised no one asked why his coaches didn't stick around.

 

[Chumley]

the champ is up

 

[zewone]

the champ is up

Jones?

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Jones?

no the guy babysitting his belt for him.

 

[Chumley]

no the guy babysitting his belt for him.

He got stripped. Ain't his belt.

 

[abstract alien]

Jones is too stupid to be champion, otherwise, he'd still be champion. DC is the real champion, which is why he has the belt, and Jones hasn't even been able to attempt at taking it.

 

[Latvian Hitman]

Jones?

No, Jon wanted too much coke as payment to appear. All they had to do for DC was buy him some Popeye's.

 

[Chumley]

Cormier saying he'll only co-main to Conor

 

[Obliterator]

Looks like Rumbles corner (somewhat obviously) didn't want Rumble to wrestle DC at all either

Confusion reigned in Johnson’s corner during his rematch with Daniel Cormier in the pay-per-view headliner at KeyBank Center in Buffalo, N.Y.

According to corner audio from the event, Johnson’s cornermen pleaded with him when he elected to wrestle Cormier (19-1 MMA, 8-1 UFC) rather than engage in striking. They begged him to disengage and keep his distance, and expressed anger when he didn’t.

At one point, Johnson’s longtime striking coach Henri Hooft exclaimed, “This is stupid.” Between rounds, Johnson said nothing.

When Johnson (22-6 MMA, 13-6 UFC) submitted to a rear-naked choke in the second round, he exclaimed, “Why, why the (expletive) does this happen every (expletive) time, man?”

Kinda makes me wonder if indeed, that heavy punch from DC in round 1 shook Rumble up a bit. If you notice he didn't attempt any wrestling prior to that punch. He didn't visibly show that he was rocked, but sometimes guys are hurt and do a really good job of hiding it.

 

[zewone]

The guy who weighs 206.2 lbs is the 205 champ.

 

[Kelsdesu]

DJ couldn't draw flies to shit. It's not like there are competing MMA promotions that would be knocking down his door.

Well yeah. He isnt a huge draw. He bodies everybody he fights.

UFC isn't pushing him enough. Not only that he isn't allowed sponorships that would make him a household name.

 

[Chumley]

DC admitting it was a tougher weight cut than usual because he ate too much Popeyes

 

[Obliterator]

DC isn't wrong he would smash Manuwa. I don't think Jimi would make it out of the 2nd rd. DC might even finish him in the 1st

 

[Jest Chillin]

Nah. His personality is lacking and his division isn't competitive. He's a good fighter with great technical ability but there's nothing about him or the division that's exciting.

 

[Guru-Guru]

I like Mighty Mouse, but c'mon man, under no circumstances would he EVER become a household name.
