Essential The Official MMA Thread

Cynthia cavillio has been flagged by USADA. They are saying marijuana metabolites. Talk about taking your diaz worship too far. What an idot though they tied a jet pack to her back. I just cant fathom how mma fighters are such fukkups

Conor had to be stripped at FW for holding up the division and might be stripped here for not defending in almost 2 years whilst fighting in another sport.

All I'm gonna say is despite the criticism GSP got, atleast he gave up the title as soon as he found out he won't be able to defend it due to ulcerative colitis so as to not hold up the division. And he's defended the WW title countless times.

he never intended on defending that title or being a mw. The whole thing was a power play to have his name in the record book like conor did. He also wanted a taste of new UFC money where the likes of a nate diaz could fetch 3 mill with the right fight. He hadnt even had the belt a week before he relinquished due to "health issues". Its funny how this guy has so many ppl fooled. I wonder if its the blonde hair and blue eyes that do it.

Yeah possibly anywhere from 3 months to 1 year suspension... and she lost that fight

Man after the Nick Diaz drama you would think these fighters would be smart enough not to smoke during camp or the week after the fight.

I didn't know Luke left AKA and now is training in Florida with Henry Hooft Volkan is his training partner down there too

I thought he was still splitting time between both camps

[Roman Brady]

I thought that would have been the last camp to have defectors, they always seemed so tight. MMA is such a game of strange bedfellows

Yeah read up on it more

Luke crying "what about me" shyt. Basically said Daniel too busy doing tv, khabib in Russia and Cain is injured and AKA ain't the same.

Luke just wants to be unlikeable

 

[LinusCaldwell]

I figured Luke woulda relished taking over AKA. the only thing is AKA is rough their fighters be getting injured randomly.

Henry Hoofts operation is a open gym. There’s footage on YouTube, guys come in and out even Jarell Big Baby Miller(heavyweight boxing contender) trains there. People just match up with each other based on size and skillset.

Javier Mendez is still gonna corner Luke and Luke still trains at AKA when he goes home. Miami is better for Luke’s modeling career and there’s just more fighters down there to train with. I think AKA is just too comfortable for Luke. DC is comfy being “that guy” but Luke needs to be “just another guy” or he gets complacent and that’s how he lost his belt

Idk about the ladder part. AKA stays battling with injuries hell Luke was out after his title fight for X amount of months. To me he approached the fight with Bisping arrogant as hell because of their workout where he knocked out Bisping in a training session. I would think Cormier would make Luke a better fighter. I mean hell Cormier was using Luke to train for Jones their first fight

Woah

How longs he been training with Cormier? Complacency is a real thing, he’s been with Javier Mendez his whole career. As far as technique and skill building, evolution, changing it up. You don’t see that very much in AKA fighters. They stick to bread and butter.

Luke wanted to learn new shyt and there’s just way more hungry fighters his size down in miami
