Jones finally came out and admitted the Reyes fight told him his days at LHW were over but of course he keeps the HW honeydick act up and says it’s his destiny to be HW champ.
I can’t believe I’m agreeing with Lionheart Smith in saying that until he signs a contract he’s just blowing smoke up the whole worlds’ ass. I’ve never seen a guy who so obviously doesn’t want to fight act like he’s the second coming.
Do you know what I really wish would happen? That Vettori will lean into the orc joke. Change his nickname to Marvin “Uruk Hai” Vettori. Make [this](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WnbOcNmbpj4) his entrance music, go into interviews all painted in dark grey threatening the fighters he was up against that he “slay them and eat their flesh”. That would make him so many fans.
Feel like pure shit, just want to see Jon Jones step into the octagon again
I’m impressed how Sean Strickland finds a new way everytime to tell us he’s actually gay. This fukcing division man
If I’m right around 6 foot half an inch do I tell girls I’m 6 foot or 6’1? Or just in general when people ask
Costa v Khamzat, Rob v Khamzat, and Jon v Costa are the fights I want most tbh
Felony charge against Chael has been dropped. Still faces 6 misdemeanors but at least the felony got dropped
Why did Jon Jones downvote us
Crazy to me that some people try to deny that Jones is out of his prime. He made his UFC debut in 2008, that’s 14 years fighting in the UFC. But then those same people will say Stipe, who made his UFC debut in 2011 and fights at a higher weight class, is out of his prime.
odd makers showing absolutely no respect for burns
Days before Volkanovski’s jab swells Zombie’s eye shut for a doctor stoppage: 10
Free Chael
Anybody else going to Seoul for the Korean Zombie FW Champ victory parade next weekend? I’ll be staying in Gangnam, let me know if you want to meet up and celebrate our new FW champion!
I swear to the MMA gods if Costa doesn’t get any fight scheduled in the next month, I’ll have to get involved 😡
It’d be pretty funny if Strickland ended up 50-45’ing both Alex and Izzy
Popping ambien is the best base for seeing red
Do you guys think that when thinking back that Michael Bisping and Julianna Peña had better chances of upsets than Korean Zombie currently has? Like is the gap between KZ and Volk a lot bigger than the gap between Bisping and Rockhold or Peña and Nunes?
The jre with josh Barnett is good
Thanks to ZombieProphet on Twitter for pointing this out, but [does anyone else see Ronda sneaking up on Miesha?](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FPCkoIGWUAwDtt0?format=jpg&name=large)
Can’t remember the last time I was so excited for a match as I am for Burns Vs Chimaev.
Rory Macdonald really Ali shuffled on BJ Penn back when BJ still sorta had a soul left lmao. Pre Lawler Rory fights were so wild, the way he beat Maia after Maia had mounted him, the way he dismantled Woodley, the way he sonned Nate. Robbie really snatched his soul fr.
Would you call Khabib a humble person? I’m sure he’s very down to earth and characteristically full of humility but he always talked about how he’s the best in the world and how he can beat anyone and everyone
Manon Fiorot being below Jennifer Maia in the rankings after beating her is really the most MMA thing of all times.
Those mad backwards glass jawed Ohian rats booing Barbereena after he whooped their boy in front of his friends and family! Shame.
Keep Bam Bam’s name out ya fucking mouth.
Can’t wait to see Chael’s take on DC’s take on Jon’s take on Chael’s take about Jon’s legal situation in the light of Chael’s own legal situation, maybe we’ll get Khabib’s take on top of it

Hilarious, this guys account is wild.
I’m sorry but prime Tim Sylvia beats the UFC 270 version of Francis
Anybody speaking Russian here? Whenever I use the translation from IG of some Russian fighter it says “racing weight” for what I assume means cutting weight.
I just find that interesting and funny
Who’s your favorite fighter and why is it Sean Strickland?
r/mma: hates weight cutting
Also r/mma: wants Topuria at FW instead of LW
I have once again convinced myself that my “can’t lose” +3400 parlay for UFC 273 is a lock
Izzy spends all his time ducking fighters. First it was rob now it’s colby
This summer is the optimal time for Conor-Nate III
* Nate wants one last payday
* Conor is a more natural welterweight at this point
* Both *look* to be exiting their primes, but are good enough to make it extremely exciting
* Neither one has a clear next opponent in their own division
* Whoever wins revitalizes their name/brand, especially among casuals
Okay I’m done waiting.
I need to see Gaethje fight again.
Anyone.
Doesn’t matter.
r/MMA are going all Helen Lovejoy about Ambien because of the Chael issue.
Matt Brown won that fight dude
Has anybody else seen the new Bisping documentary “Bisping”?
Thought it was fucking naff. Super americanised mega montage of his greatest hits and comes off more like a fan made UFC promo youtube video than a deep meaningful insight into his life. Not even in chronological order so to anyone other than diehard MMA consumers it makes no sense as a standalone.
Mike does the narration throughout and it sounds like he was coached/told to narrate with a bizarre intonation in his voice which I can’t get over; sounds so odd if you’re used to his commentary voice.
Overall a D-
Who should Darren Till fight next? Hermansson and Strickland if he loses to Perreira would be fun
Pretty crazy that Leon Edwards has only really beaten lightweights at welterweights for his best wins other than green Luque
I’d like to see any combination of Ortega/Kattar/Yair
The career trajectory of Marlon Moraes and Thiago Santos is so sad for me. I was certain that these guys would be champs after Cejudo and Jones left the divisions. And now they’ve been losing so much and look like shells of their former selves after both being two of the sickest most entertaining strikers in the UFC
John Dodson is still one of the biggest what ifs and wastes of talent in UFC history IMO
Kyler Phillips beating Song is gonna age really well for him
Antonio Caruso Lightweight from ONE FC liked my striking video on Instagram. Feels good man
