Essential The Official MMA Thread

MMA heads why do you think woman MMA could kinda break through but women boxing not?

In boxing nowadays they also start to promote some female boxers better but overall there's still a very minor interest in women boxing cause it's 95% lower quality than man boxing because the physical differences, so it's also less entertaining if you got used to men boxing. Also a lot more shallow weight divisions.

As I saw this looks different in MMA and dudes are hypes over women fights. What makes the difference there?

MMA promoters have forced women onto main cards/main events whether the fights are quality or not(more often, not). I personally could do without em besides a handful of female fighters across all weight divisions, the skill level and athleticism is awful most of the time.

So Covington is pressing charges against Verdum, lmao that fukkboy's gimmick is over.

 

[So UnThotful]

Lol I just saw the werdum fukkery

Dude threw a boomerang at dude in Australia

 

[JahFocus CS]

fukk Covington, I wouldn't feel bad if he sustained a career-ending injury in his next fight. Cowardly racist piece of shyt.

 

[Inertia Creeps]

First KKKolby gets punked by a fukkin boomerang, now Jon Jones giving him the full instrumentals on twitter

 

[Diunx]

nikka hit him with a boomerang

To Werdum, fukk that racist cac bum.

 

[storyteller]

they fight for a living if they wanna run their mouth or act crazy let em the more entertaining the better they need to stir up controversy somehow if they aren't getting the media push by the UFC

I'm not opposed to it, but I'm also not opposed to these guys getting snuffed. I get that they're selling fights and can accept that it's a marketing thing, but they should understand that there might be consequences to race baiting. Be it fan hatred or getting run up on by someone who's offended. Covington got a dose of reality and pressed charges, Magana style. Dude is officially my second least favorite fighter...Magana still got that bottom title because at least Covington has some talent

There isn't an MMA PPV that doesn't include a women's fight these days. They get exposure and the ones that capitalize get to ride a wave. Rose just put a clinic on ahead of a GSP/Bisping fight, that's a big showing in front of a really big audience.

The risks of pull outs are in all mma fights

 

[So UnThotful]

UFC got desperate and gave in to Holly demands

And how is Colby gonna talk shyt on his feed to werdum calling him an animal and fakkit then go running to the police

That's some coward shyt

With some there is a higher probability than others ie GDR and cyborg. All their announced fights are subject to change. With someone like DJ you know 9/10 he'll show up

When has cyborg pulled out of a fight?

Honestly her name doesn't come up in my mind if fighters who constantly cancel fights
