I read Dana tried to talk Conor out of fighting so soon because his leg is still hurt. I guess we have our built in excuse if he loses or it'll be Conor won with one good leg.

Yea he said it in the ufc unfiltered podcast, Docs told Conor to sit out for a few months but Conor said he knows his body better than any doc

Haven't updated y'all in a while but my brother just won his fight tonight by another knockout so he's 5-0 with 4 knockouts.

He plans in turning pro soon but he's taking his time to make sure he does it right.

Every time I see him fight I get inspired to train for MMA too. Then I come back down to earth.

John Dodson got jerked last night imo. Outlanded Lineker throwing 100 less punches by landing at a 70% accuracy and he hit plenty of power punches but Lineker just seems impossible to hurt. I had 3 clear rounds for him and 1 clearly for Lineker and than a debatable.

Brooks didn't look good, but considering the weigh-in difference, I'll wait to see his next performance to really start judging him. He struggled somewhat with Pearson and now got beat outright by Brazilian Cowboy....but I still think he's got potential to be a noise making light weight.

Idk wtf happened to Smolka, reckless in transitions and which he might get away with at that pace if the fight had gone on longer but not in the first round. Shout out to Moreno though, he had a really good performance on TUF and I was hoping he'd get a chance on the finale...lucked into an even better opportunity and won on short notice. That's Cejudo's boy btw.

Andre Fili really had a great performance too. The way he was getting his left off from every type of angle and situation was really impression. He'd land hooks on his back foot, fire a straight left coming forward into a stance switch to orthodox and then started doubling it up. He was defending take downs really well too, the footwork he displayed definitely helped. He looks like an evolving fighter.

would have preferred he didn't get injured but it felt good seeing that. I remember this idiot making some dumb ass tweets during the eric garner, Freddy gray and Mike brown murders now he reveals his wife is white so it all made sense now in retrospect.
Berating dude because he didn't make weight? It's not a title fight, you got 20% of his purse and the fight wasn't cancelled STFU and just fight. The end of the fight where cowboy DX chops him and brooks gets up to throw his mouthguard only to drop down writhing in pain was glorious :blessed:it's like the gravity of all that ether consumed him.
