Essential The Official MMA Thread

I thought it was common knowledge that Bisprings eye injury came from that Vitor head kick?
"Maybe it’s just one of those mma myths but I thought it was a verified thing that Vitor is the one who fukked up Bisprings eye

He just found it easier to blame Vitor. This is from an article in 2013,

"Back in May, doctors discovered that, astonishingly, Bisping competed in consecutive fights against Vitor Belfort and Alan Belcher with a detached retina in his right eye. While his peripheral vision had degraded severely, by then Bisping had already passed his annual UFC mandated eye exam, so the injury slipped by unnoticed."
Bisping 'devastated' by near career-ending injury

PVZ lost again?!

PVZ lost again?!

To be fair, she broke her arm in the second round. It took away opportunities for her striking wise and she gutted it out. She survived a very tight triangle choke.

She wasn't winning anyways, her ground defense needs work

STRIP THE TITLE

Yeah I think Dana said he's gonna strip Conor if he's coming back in September... it's fascinating that he hasn't defended any title he's won ever in any promotion

Big hype. He literally pulled the biggest Houdini on his fans. Took the cash and bounce. I seriously doubt he woulda beat RDA and I don't think he woulda beat Woodley.

From his POV, I understand. He's still a big draw even after the Mayweather fight and can come back and fight Diaz again for big coin. Getting ragdolled by Khabib or Woodley puts a huge dent in his marketability. He's very careful about whom his opponents are

Doesn't really matter who his opponent is at this point Floyd was picking names the common person wouldn't know. Conor thinks he is holier than thou. I already know he's gonna get worked by the dudes you're mentioning that's why he's not trying to see them right now.

From his perspective, I wouldn't come back to MMA for just any fight. What did he get paid for the Floyd fight, conservatively, lets say 30-35 mil? Why would I then go back to fighting Diaz for a 1M purse plus PPV points?

If you're talking money he shouldn't come back to MMA period. Just retire from MMA and get that Pacquaio fight popping and live the Maidana/Maradona lifestyle afterwards

I think he's got an ego though and he'd get clowned by any decent boxer that's not totally , so he wants to win.

Supposedly he's got bad habits(*sniff sniff*) so he's gonna blow through his $$$ quick, he'll be back in the UFC soon enough, I think he's just looking to get favorable terms

Paige needs a legit boxing coach for some headmovement and hands to go with the kicks which actually looked improved (body kicks were kinda sharp) and then she needs to roll with the Death Squad or something. She was holding her own standing but got murked on the ground and put herself in that situation initially with ANOTHER head in arm throw that got her back taken. How has no one weened her off that garbage.
