Everybody involved in this should be ashamed

This is fukkin disgusting. Nonsense like this is what has tainted mma to some casual fans n media.

Shame on u Gabi for even signing that fight contract and stepping in the ring.

Acestream link?

Don't know.

 

[THEREALBRAND]

Exactly how I would expect a Jake Shields/Jon Fitch fight to look

 

[THEREALBRAND]

If Palhares wasn't a sociopath he would be running through this division

 

[THEREALBRAND]

Firmino and Gaethje are going to war, these dudes came to bang

 

[THEREALBRAND]

Disappointing ending, but that was a great slugfest

to both of those dudes.

 

[newarkhiphop]

Mcgregor got to be estatic with what went down last night. Hes the only thing UFC got going for them right now. Jon Jones nowhere to be found Brock long gone now Ronda gone. PVZ and Northcutt flamed out before there careers even got started. Mcgregor might not do media ever again after Ronda set the precedent.

How are Paige and Sage done

 

[Big Jo]

How are Paige and Sage done

Paige I think is kinda done. Sage is fine

 

[Mantle Drunk]

How are Paige and Sage done

PVZ really doesn't have any talent she gets by on grinding and stamina anyone in the division with any talent will merk her like thug rose and karate hottie.

Sage has a lot of tools but dude won't put them together unless he goes to a real camp and takes it more serious. Dudes losing to fukking scrubs.

If your not winning people lose interest

 

[yoyoyo1]

two best fights of the night ended prematurely

two long, grinding ones. surprised it was like 90% full, highly casual in there tbh. atmosphere was middling to average , there wasnt too much to get excited about tbh. except that gaethje fight

 

[jackswstd]

I can't wait for TJ vs Cody. I hope that's what they go with.

Firstly conor indicated to UFC that he's taking 10 months off, whether than was a bluff or legit (due to his girl being preg'd) they've called it and he's out of their immediate plans. To answer your point he fought 3 times in 2016, and sans the eve of new years eve, was the main topic of discussion for most of last year. Before Dana went on the herd and made the announcement (about ronda) it looked like she had absconded. Ppl keep saying Connor is licking his chops but I don't think the situation is any different than last year.

Conor is one of the few fighters that craves the media though. The worst he'll do is what we already saw post diaz which was nothing.If he pulled a Ronda he'd be cutting into the profit of his brand
