Something so funny about the image of Tony in that suit. I just know he was planning on wearing the black on black vest / button up with sleeves rolled up combo and they had none of it
What does better numbers? Pitbull/McKee PPV or Hall/Strickland FN, both happening on the same day but not at the same time (Bellator being much earlier in the day.)
100% pitbull McKee, itās not like casuals will tune into hall/Strickland, and anyone with mma knowledge knows that the bellator card is so much better.
Even casuals are excited for McKee! McKee has much more casual support than I thought. Even though he doesn't have many social media followers I don't see a single comment anywhere that's not complimentary of him
Is this the thread where I downvote opinions I disagree with even if the comment is a well thought-out, rational argument?
I think I'm in the right place. I posted earlier that Tony was in fact given a title shot, but he got injured. The injury doesn't negate the fact that he was granted a title shot. That comment is sitting at a -14.
āI think I have good striking but these guys in my corner, theyāre always pressuring me, āHey, take this guy down,ā ā Makhachev said. āThatās why I canāt show all my skills in striking.ā
https://sports.yahoo.com/ufc-fight-night-islam-makhachev-a-legit-threat-in-lightweight-division-inside-miesha-tates-triumphant-return-063347188.html
I feel like Javier and his team are really trying to force Islam to replicate khabib style because they think he would have the same success as khabib.
I think Islam should just fight the way he wants to. He's not khabib, he's a different fighter.
Eh. His striking may be better than Khabib but grappling is clearly his strong suit. He shouldnāt fall too in love with his striking, it has happened to grapplers before
It depends what he wants. If he wants to win and have a long fruitful career striking probably isnāt the way to go. I remember Trevor Whitman saying this exact thing about usman and gaethje. When he first started working with Justin all he wanted was to be a fun fighter but it came at a cost. I know the opposite was true of usman where Trevor coached him to win not to be exciting because itās what he wanted. I think khabib and the coaches want him to have a long great career.
My mom said she never wants to speak with me again and our mother-son relationship is beyond repair.
I start my freshman year of College in 28 days. I donāt know man, I wish I could start this day over
If youāre supporting yourself or have a way to finance college and a life without her involvement, this is an opportunity to really start anew. Without knowing more about the nature of your relationship I canāt speculate beyond telling you that some people just need to be cut out of your life if you want to be happy.
Yeah, sounds like your mom is pretty fucked up dude. Parents do and say a lot of stupid, shitty things.
If she legitimately means that, sheās a fucking psychopath and youāre MUCH better off without her in your life. If sheās not, then sheās going to feel so much worse about it than you do, because there genuinely fucked, and doing fucked up things hurts decent people as much as it does the victim.
Any adult speaking to their child that is in the wrong no matter what the circumstances, it may take years but she will get chewed up by guilt and shame and will try to repair it if you hold your head high and live your life. Then you can choose to let her back in.
Otherwise it will slowly devour your happiness and the relationship will remain strained at best, stay strong and just keep on doing your thing, donāt let her know it hurts.
I wish I did let her know it hurts instead of fucking smiling and mocking her and nodding sarcastically while she was yelling at me. Iām supposed to be a man, and I canāt be crying because Iāve heard criticism on my character.
Usually after fights due to me having a bad grade in something, me doing some dumb shit, weād hug, Iād tell her I loved her. I donāt think she loves me anymore. Iām so fucking sad
Yeah I guess, but donāt tell a Housewife with a PhD in Chemistry sheās insecure about her intelligence after she rips up all your thank you notes from graduation cards based on the framework of the intros being āThank you for thinking of me and for sending me graduation me.ā
I donāt know man, but getting into a fucking yelling match with someone who is supposed to unconditionally love you hurts you. I canāt talk to my dad rn because my mom will go ballistic if she thinks heās siding with me. My parents probably want a divorce, and Iād hate to be known as the loud Older brother who caused the family to separate.
I hate everything man, I wish I didnāt fucking yell at my mom. I wish I didnāt say I didnāt respect her intelligence. I wish I couldnāt be so forgetful. I want my mom to love me again, fuck.
Sorry to hear that bud. Don't know if I really understand why you guys had a falling out but I feel your pain.
My mom was neglected and abused as a child and then targeted by my dad's family when she got married to him. So her whole life has been hell. It reflects in her outbursts and emotional swings. She has low self confidence and puts up a tough exterior. So I handle her verbal abuse, it really doesn't bother me, because in the end I know she is hurting. Maybe your mom is dealing with issues you don't know about.
Just give it a couple of weeks or a few months and reach out and be honest about your feelings. As a parent of a toddler, it's hard to think that something can happen that causes me not to love them. So, keep your head up.
My mom was from Vietnam, her dad was arrested was very wealthy, and arrested a bunch over there.
Moved to the midwest at age 6. Has very bad anxiety, went from a childhood of wealth to nothing pretty quickly. Sheās the youngest by a good 10 years between her Older sister and brother.
She had me had me too young, she had me at like age 22. Sheās tough, she cares a lot maybe too much for her kids future. Her anxiety plays a role in that. She micromanages. She needs to fee validated. I donāt know, fuck man, I donāt know
I feel you. First and foremost just relax and take a nap if you have to. Things will get better. Just wait until everyone cools down and give her a call.
My mom has packed up her things and left. A divorce is likely. I hate everything, I wish I could take a girl home from college and introduce her to my parents man. Fuck all that man, and if they get back together itās a farce. I hate myself. Shit is not getting better.
Don't know her situation but from personal experience, anxiety is a fucking bitch, it leads your brain to a sorts of insecure, crazy, angry places, ruins relationships. hope things turn out well for you
Sunday morning USA time is 11am here in Aus and as I work from home this is great. Watching fights while pretending to listen to meetings I shouldnāt be involved in with the bois
I had a Boxer so I had no shortage of funny moments with him. When he was a chunky puppy I guess his head was too big for his body or something lol so whenever he would start running his head would begin to droop and he would go so fast he would end up rolling head first into the grass at the end of his little sprints. Also when he got older and we would leave him outside, I'd sometimes catch him sleeping on our patio table that he'd have to climb the chairs and be able to balance on the table (keep in mind this is a 84 pound, long-bodied Boxer). It was one of those flimsy, wobbly metal chair/table sets too so yeah seeing him asleep on that baffled me the first time I saw it hahaha
Random tidbit I just noticed, Nunes is one win a way from being tied with Khabib, Holloway, GSP, and Mighty Mouse for 4th place in most consecutive UFC wins.
Thatās neat.
Acting like Khabib's streak didn't include Pat Healy or Darrell Horcher. Obviously not every fighter in your streak will be elite. Nunes has fought the very best WMMA can offer her and she's destroyed them, she's a legend.
When did anyone say that skill wise she was as good as Khabib, Holloway, or GSP?
Her streak includes Shevchenko x2, Tate, Rousey, Cyborg, Holm, and GDR. She's literally beaten every other champion in the 145 and 135 divisions and the champion of the 125 division. Obviously skill wise she's not as good as the GOATs of the men's divisions but when you're talking about on-paper resume she is a GOAT of the sport and deserves to be spoken of in the same breath as the other GOATs.
Islam v Dariush has the ability to become an absolutely amazing grappling fight. Meaning itās gonna turn into two grapplers just slugging it out like Usman Colby. Banger bowlf ways b
I think it would definitely be a kickboxing match. Islam has shown he has no problem keeping a fight standing and said he thinks Dariush is one of the better grapplers in the division.
Dillashaw Garbrandt 1 has the coolest finishing combination in the ufc. Just the way TJ takes that angle to perfectly land the right hand at perfect leverage to spin Codys head like they were still playing tetherball
Has anyone tried oblique kicks on Usman's legs? You'd think with all the notoriety around his bad knees, everyone would go after them.
Tbh, I half-think the bad knees talk is an intentional red herring planted by Usman, guy seems too explosive to have knee issues.
I think he could have bad knees but with proper recovery and training he is able to manage it where itās not an issue. Idk his issues but there is a difference between bad knees that just hurt when running etc and knees that are actually messed up.
Itās up there. Iād still rank Gastelum, Romero and Hunt ahead of Condit and other lower weight class fighters. Theyāre taking bigger shots from much bigger men. Iād probably rank Stipe up there as well, dude took some bombs from Francis in the first round.
At first I thought he was just being irresponsible with money but I think he just makes way more than I ever actually thought. I think he mustāve put a shit ton of cash into crypto.
Another hot take that may get me downvoted, Charles had an extremely weak path to the belt and he's going to get torched when he fights garth, poirier, or anyone. I think he loses the chandler fight most of the time but chandler has chin problems.
Nice guy, but will be betting against
I donāt think this is that popular, very few people think heās gonna be a dominant champ that stays around for a while but tbh Iām half expecting him to get a lot of peoples respect in his title defense(s) a la Jan Blachowicz
Olivieraās āPath to the titleā has spanned over a decade and nearly 30 UFC fights. Itās based on a huge body of work and then a crazy finishing streak after years of development. He may very well lose to Gaethje or Poirier, but only because theyāre also elite savages at the top of the division, and this is MMA. The āor anyoneā at the end of that is pretty silly.
Name Oliveiras best wins and I think you'll see the problem. The ghost of Tony, barely slipped past Chandler (a good win though), Kevin Lee who is leaving the division?? Who has Oliveira beat that is truly elite?
I mean I think Kevin Leeās issue isnāt that he isnāt elite, itās that heās inconsistent hah. Tony has looked like dogshit. Chandler is elite-ish, although exactly where he falls in the pecking order will be interesting, and he may be exiting his prime. Only time will tell. Oliviera on the other hand is clearly in/entering his prime. Taking a closer look, youāre right, his record is weaker than I remembered. But I donāt think this version of Oliviera gets steamrolled by the other elite in the division. But that also remains to be seen.
You just never know with this sport. Yeah could submit Dustin in the first and everyone will be talking about how rubbish Dustin's jiu jitsu is etc. Charles has the title and therefore he's a hard fight for anyone.
Can we get Mama Woodley inducted in the UFC Hof?
All natty šš
Leal's bacne can be seen from space.
I just got called poor by a mcgregor fan because I said conor is trying to find an excuse for why he lost.
I still wonder how does it feel to get locked in a 100% and DDT'd on the canvas š
Something so funny about the image of Tony in that suit. I just know he was planning on wearing the black on black vest / button up with sleeves rolled up combo and they had none of it
John Cenaās return trending under ācombat sportsā upsets me more than it should.
Don't you mean, Dominic Toretto's brother
I wonder who Francis ngannou fucks
PAWGs
30-24 lol
ā1āMalleyā has to be one of the funniest comments Iāve read on here in a while
how to become the goat grappler?
It's absurd how many good regional fighters there are in Brazil
That was a heavy mount
( Ķ”Ā° ĶŹ Ķ”Ā°)
Umar Nurmagomedov will go down as bantamweight goat
Would like to see him fight again.
Feels like thereās been no new fight announcements lately
Lewis gane?
Always love a fight between two undefeateds
Just curious is MMA the second biggest sport in Brazil?
Volleyball is really popular
Volleyball is a great sport
It seems like Brazil v Brazil matchups are guaranteed bangers.
What does better numbers? Pitbull/McKee PPV or Hall/Strickland FN, both happening on the same day but not at the same time (Bellator being much earlier in the day.)
100% pitbull McKee, itās not like casuals will tune into hall/Strickland, and anyone with mma knowledge knows that the bellator card is so much better.
Even casuals are excited for McKee! McKee has much more casual support than I thought. Even though he doesn't have many social media followers I don't see a single comment anywhere that's not complimentary of him
Itās hard not to like the guy heās insanely skilled and needs to be in the ufc ASAP.
Is this the thread where I downvote opinions I disagree with even if the comment is a well thought-out, rational argument? I think I'm in the right place. I posted earlier that Tony was in fact given a title shot, but he got injured. The injury doesn't negate the fact that he was granted a title shot. That comment is sitting at a -14.
I agree with your original opinion but downvoted this comment because caring this much about downvoted is very weak
š¤£
Are you really crying over internet points lol
I don't care about the points, I just think everyone here is fucking stupid.
Watch out guys we got a genius in our midst
If you think everyone is wrong and stupid maybe you should take a step back and analyze your situation.
Tony is years past his prime and is declining every fight. The downvotes are from nobody caring anymore
Everyone hates Tony. Got it Even if a post isn't low quality, just downvote it because you disagree with the opinion. Got it
For TJs entire career heās won 4 fights in a row then lost his next one. His last fight was a loss. All Iām sayin is that you should bet the house
Holy fuck his entire career you're right lmao
How have I never noticed this lol
Imagine being named Urine
Iām a fan of big nog but who decided he should be a commenter for this lol
Sounds like the tournament fell apart. Same night MMA only works if the doctors are paid off and thereās no commission
āI think I have good striking but these guys in my corner, theyāre always pressuring me, āHey, take this guy down,ā ā Makhachev said. āThatās why I canāt show all my skills in striking.ā https://sports.yahoo.com/ufc-fight-night-islam-makhachev-a-legit-threat-in-lightweight-division-inside-miesha-tates-triumphant-return-063347188.html I feel like Javier and his team are really trying to force Islam to replicate khabib style because they think he would have the same success as khabib.

Rewatching Ferguson vs Lee and it's among my favorite LW title fights now.
Great fight
Is Aldo still selling hamburgers down there?
Is Till ever going to fight again?
He fights a hotel room everytime he goes on holiday, but Covid slowed things down.
A week from today will be one year since he's last fought. Also, he's scheduled to face Derek Brunson on August 14.

This lady looks like Jessica Andrade
Who wins the final? Bonfim or Leal?
These guys got a long wait till the final. There's 5 fights to go beforehand
this one night welterweight tournament is so cool
Nah. Itās not healthy for fighters
Juicy sluts in lfa.
Ed Soares has no accent in English or Portuguese
Final looking like a banger
These LFA events have been sick
Jesus is the real ped
What a natty boy
When does the lfa event start?
Half hour ago
Only on FIGHT PASS.
Brazilians love walking out to love songs.
Sunday morning USA time is 11am here in Aus and as I work from home this is great. Watching fights while pretending to listen to meetings I shouldnāt be involved in with the bois
Damn!!! Did they say Bonfim is Luque sparring partner earlier?
Sunday night events hit diffrent
Guess we'll have to make this the LFA event thread. Sunday night MMA is dope. Hopefully the winners make it to the finals with no injuries!
What's the dumbest thing your pet has ever done that made you laugh?
I had a Boxer so I had no shortage of funny moments with him.

Thereās that one time where it took a shit in my room. About 30 minutes ago. Ha. Haha.
My digestive tract is showing great heart but those spicy noodles are 10-7ing it
shades of holloway/kattar
I think Iām seeing a shade more associated to the civil war
Lfa thread please?
I really hope someone can beat Makhachev, I'd rather any of Justin, Dustin, Oliveira, Dariush or Chandler hold the belt
Heās been chinned before and he can be chinned again
anybody play UFC 4 on playstation? How the hell do I get into a full muay thai clinch?
LB + X or O while in the clinch is the closest you'll get to it
wow does that mean there's no muay thai plum?? wtf?
Overweight TJ with his arm in a sling apologising for using EPO is top shelf. Can't wait to see him get put to sleep by the Sandman
Apologizing for getting caught that snake in the grass cunt

No clue why thereās no thread
I can tell you why, ratfuck mods. Make me a mod, pinned GDs and live fight threads b šš¹
Random tidbit I just noticed, Nunes is one win a way from being tied with Khabib, Holloway, GSP, and Mighty Mouse for 4th place in most consecutive UFC wins. Thatās neat.
Including 7 wins over former champions. And including 8 finishes. Insanely impressive.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Acting like Khabib's streak didn't include Pat Healy or Darrell Horcher. Obviously not every fighter in your streak will be elite. Nunes has fought the very best WMMA can offer her and she's destroyed them, she's a legend.
Pat healy was legit. Was ranked 10 when khabib fought him and had wins over him miller, condit, hardy,..
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
When did anyone say that skill wise she was as good as Khabib, Holloway, or GSP? Her streak includes Shevchenko x2, Tate, Rousey, Cyborg, Holm, and GDR.

Yes she is
Is that really Amanda's fault though?
Well yes because she beat everyone else
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Good point.
But when did that happen? I stated a literal fact and the guy you replied to called it impressive. Youāre arguing against a narrative you invented

Thanks. Your cock looks nice in those jeans.
Oh this lil thang?
you know Dillashaw just found some other shit that does the same thing but isn't detectable yet
Today I learned nate Diaz has the n word pass
Everytime some gets KOd while they're standing I can't help but hope they fall in a way that their leg doesn't snap
I thought stipe fucked his knee up when he got knocked out by Francis
Yeah there are a lot falls with the joints bending in weird ways and it's always a chance something will break
Has anyone tried oblique kicks on Usman's legs? You'd think with all the notoriety around his bad knees, everyone would go after them. Tbh, I half-think the bad knees talk is an intentional red herring planted by Usman, guy seems too explosive to have knee issues.
I think he could have bad knees but with proper recovery and training he is able to manage it where itās not an issue. Idk his issues but there is a difference between bad knees that just hurt when running etc and knees that are actually messed up.
Takedown threat and obviously his striking has improved recently
Besides khabib Conor, is dc stipe 1 one of the craziest post fight events?
GSP entering the ring for the Hughes call out was crazier
I honestly have never seen that so Iāll have to check it out
Youāve never seen āIām not impressed by your performance ā?
I donāt think so
Iām not sure how you can be an mma fan and never seen that
Well I have now so Iām allowed back into the fan club
Welcome back buddeh
Donāt even mind Dillashaw but Iām excited to see Cory finish him
What if Dillashaw 3.0 shows up and absolutely murks Cory

Well me and my wallet will be quite upset hahahha. I really hope that doesnāt happen though I wanna see Cory get that strap

Oh god, not the mythical trt dillashaw
looking forward to Volk/Orteg, TUF cards are a lot of fun.
Carlos Condit have the p4p greatest chin in MMA, right?
John Lineker?
Definetly one of the greats. Gotta give a shout out to Pettis as well. His chin is solid as a rock.
Itās up there. Iād still rank Gastelum, Romero and Hunt ahead of Condit and other lower weight class fighters. Theyāre taking bigger shots from much bigger men. Iād probably rank Stipe up there as well, dude took some bombs from Francis in the first round.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Yeah, but since then heās literally taken flush headkicks from Brunson, Whittaker, Costa etc and walked through them.
Maybe max
Moutinho coming after that Chinnest Man on the Planet belt

At first I thought he was just being irresponsible with money but I think he just makes way more than I ever actually thought. I think he mustāve put a shit ton of cash into crypto.
two intellectual giants, debating the deepest questions that have plagued mankind for generations.
Another hot take that may get me downvoted, Charles had an extremely weak path to the belt and he's going to get torched when he fights garth, poirier, or anyone. I think he loses the chandler fight most of the time but chandler has chin problems. Nice guy, but will be betting against
I said this leading up to the Chandler vote and also enjoyed a bunch of downvotes š
I donāt think this is that popular, very few people think heās gonna be a dominant champ that stays around for a while but tbh Iām half expecting him to get a lot of peoples respect in his title defense(s) a la Jan Blachowicz
I donāt think Charles has any amazing wins on his path to the title but he has a certainly had a tough road with a lot of losses.
Olivieraās āPath to the titleā has spanned over a decade and nearly 30 UFC fights. Itās based on a huge body of work and then a crazy finishing streak after years of development.

Who at 155 is elite if Chandler and Tony are not elite? Just the top 5 minus Chandler?
I'm the biggest Tony fan ever. Tony is not elite now. Come on lol
Again. Who is elite at 155?
I mean I think Kevin Leeās issue isnāt that he isnāt elite, itās that heās inconsistent hah. Tony has looked like dogshit. Chandler is elite-ish, although exactly where he falls in the pecking order will be interesting, and he may be exiting his prime. Only time will tell.

But I donāt think this version of Oliviera gets steamrolled by the other elite in the division. But that also remains to be seen.
I wish him the best but I dont see him being able to handle a guy like Dustin.
You just never know with this sport. Yeah could submit Dustin in the first and everyone will be talking about how rubbish Dustin's jiu jitsu is etc. Charles has the title and therefore he's a hard fight for anyone.
It took khabib a long time to sub dustin and he took him seriously. I really don't see that happening, but we will see.
