Hes making a fool of himself with his trash talking, due to the luxury of the internet you can trace some of his material and he's clearly been watching conor. "2 buffalos died to make these glasses" :why: "I am doing him a favour by accepting this fight" like who are you again? At least when conor said it he was doing ridiculous gates and buys. This guy just graduated from prelims

Dude suffered multiple KO's in MMA and boxing including a recent one. He was knocked down multiple times in a short span. The ref should have stopped it sooner, the corner probably should have thrown the towel in and even the commission should answer some questions considering the recent KO and Hague's 1-3 record going into a fight with a 7-1 cat who had 6 KO's.
The shyt is way too real

Perfect example, it's sad to see these dudes go down like that. That's also why I feel nothing about Siver/Penn coming up. I can't believe they're letting BJ fight again at all.
nasty thing is it ain't just the fights or KOs. They put in a lot of sparring rounds as well.

Yeah but it's working though, his viewership went from 0 to 100 real quick. Some of his shyt is good, he calmed down since that press conference.

If he can produce the wins I don't see why he can't get a Cody Garbrandt type hype train behind him. That moron never says any damn thing worth listening to and I remember you and others in here calling him "charismatic"

If he puts a beating on Chiesa, he won't need the poor man's Conor act for the hype train. These dudes should focus on winning fights over soundbytes or at least figure out their own personalities instead of following the Conor model.

great track by drake but in reference to the topic at hand that is to be determined. I don't know what metric you are working off. UFC are putting Alex caerces as a headliner now so anyone can main event it's not a case of fan demand they have too many shows and need spots filled. Peep the latest FoX card. Scust

:russ: his exchanges with Cruz clearly showed the world public speaking isn't his forte, I think you have me mixed up with someone else.

He's got swagger, fan friendly style and a marketable look that's as far as I would go.

Eh he's on a four fight win streak and nobody knew who the fukk he was. He started running his mouth and it put him in position to get a fight with Khabib, a main event against Chiesa, and much much higher views on all the YouTube content I've seen realeased since the first press conference. If you listen to him talk he sounds like a pretty focused and determined guy.

I get that trash talk ain't for everyone but the results are undeniable, it is what it is

The Khabib fight came at a time when nobody wanted to fight dude. It wasn't trash talk it was being open to fighting anybody. Getting a crack at a top 10 opponent, and honestly one of the lesser knowns after a four fight winning streak that includes Magomedev and Trinaldo doesn't seem like anything but a match-up earned with wins in my book. I've seen Holloway and Ferguson's recent trash talk get credited too and I always point at their records. Now if Colby Covington gets a title eliminator next after the snoozefest in Singapore. Correia is the last one that comes to mind who actually trash talked her way to a shot without the wins reflecting a real deserved shot off the top of my head (you could say Nate but considering the short notice and that Conor picked him from multiple options I wouldn't count that).

I've never heard someone say that about Ferguson or Holloway, that's moronic haha.

All I know is nobody was talking about Lee until he started yapping. Now his free fight UFC released on YouTube has about 70k more views than Chiesa's free fight and it looks like Lee will hit similar numbers to Holly Holm who is pretty popular with casuals.

Open mouths get fed man, people are interested in the kid
