MMA & UFC General - Featuring Bellator MMA & Rizin Fighting Federation

If there's any reason to hate on Merab left, it is the fact he doesn't want to move up, so there's no big super fight to be had from him. The only matchup left where I'm even remotely excited is Pantoja, but even then I don't think he stands much of a chance. And Sandhagen? Lol. Lmao even.

Julianna was always awful and the only reason people thought she was any good because her other competitors are somehow even lower level bums. Kayla just showed how shit that division is. I worry for Nunes now though because she might have ring rust after such a long layoff.

Merab is super entertaining. I don’t care if he’s on drugs, dude is so good.

This card was supposedly so underwhelming that I didn’t drop any money on it, but I would have hit every single one of my parlays. It would’ve been nice considering how little I sold my TSLA for earlier this week.

Bantamweight is fucked unless Aljo drops down and fights Merab. There is no contender for him at BW. He is leagues above the competition. His striking was EXCELLENT versus Sean in this bout. He’s the real deal. Really highlights how awful the UFC booking has been for the last two years.

It's a shame he doesn't want to move up like Ilia did, Merab vs Volk would be great. Unfortunately the only fight they'll seemingly have is over who can cook the best burger

It looks like Keith Peterson keeps getting smaller and smaller. I remember reading about him stating that he wanted to lose some weight for empowerment or some bullshit, but he looks really sickly. I hope he’s OK.

Needs to buy clothes that fit him

Is it common for American parents to name their children after their 23andMe results?

Pure domination. So satisfying. Send O’Malley to the prelims.

Oh well, I guess weed, malt liquor, Hot Topic hair dye section and prepping the bull is back on the menu.

There isn't any. He's down to earth and isn't a cocky fuck. Championship material.

Called it too. Harrison steam rolled soccer mom Pena, and now we have dyke Nunes and Harrison. Holy crap this world is gay.

Edit: Personal bias I really hope Nunes starches her. Also, I think she could. Fingers crossed.

Really enjoyed Ruffy's performances so far. He's one of my all-time favorite fighters, aside from Topuria. His orthodox McGregor style + the scissor sweeps are absolute eye candy.

Speaking of Ruffy, a fight with Chandler has apparently been scheduled. I think it's likely (though not guaranteed) that it's going to happen, given Ruffy's offer to be a backup for the Chandler-Pimblett fight, and also given his high performance in recent matches, like his last one against Green.

If this fight is to happen, it's obvious who wins in this case. The only ways i think Chandler has to win is if he counters Ruffy's low kick with a powerful right hand, or takes advantage of Ruffy's scissor sweep with wrestling and control time. Either way, the fight is still going to be difficult for him, like his last few fights have been.

That’s a ruff (hehe) fight for Chandler and he’s going to get absolutely walked. Chandler goes into fights with insane physique but his cardio and composure are almost nonexistent. Ruffy is going to catch him early and it’s done.


Everyone’s favorite midget returned to Georgia and it was an absolute mob scene. More action here than the LA riots.

The crazy thing is that Volk and Merab are roughly the same size, but Volk has a 3.5" reach advantage on Merab. He's got Welterweight reach on a Bantamweight body.

I don't know if it's a 'Duel of Legends' but I expect Artem to put up a decent fight. Rico really only gets pressed by Moroccans (Hari, ben Saddik).

Ben Asscream is now allegedly back home in Wisconsin. Glad to have read that.

Event this weekend looks pretty good. Once again, cannot believe we are giving WMMA a comain spot, especially when it’s Rose and Miranda Maverick.

Reminder that Usman’s last win was at UFC 268
 
Out of the up and coming WW contenders (Shavkhat, Garry, Brady) Buckley is the least impressive imo for beating washed up Wonderboy and Colby. And while Usman did well against Khamzat, he's also coming off a long layoff, so I would not be surprised with either result

BJ Penn has just been arrested for the 4th time in the last two weeks: https://archive.is/KLEP2

This stems from BJ's current psychotic episode where he believes members of his family have been secretly replaced with imposters (interestingly this isn't just basic bitch CTE but an actual thing called a Capgras delusion.)

He was arrested twice for abuse of a household/family member, once for failing to attend a hearing related to his previous arrests and then most recently for violating a restraining order his mum took out after the previous episodes. Naturally since this is the 4th arrest in a fortnight, and given he is clearly fucking batshit insane the court refused him bail ordered a psych hold immediately let him got with a token bail.
 
I will always love Leon edwards for beating the breaks off of poosman. Boring ass overated wrestle Humper that the UFC tried to hype as being better than gsp. I hope this new nigga kos him into retirement.


Here’s your “elite wrestler” losing to an old Sanderson with blown out knees. This is obviously before usman started roiding really heavily.
