Watching Hardy is kind of sad and just shows that MMA is really just a club sport that anyone with a ounce of athleticism can strive in.
lol I mean sure but using heavyweights as a measuring stick for the sport is just wrong.

Lesnar steamrolled that division and didnt even know howto throw or take a punch.

Big ass 250 pound plus guys generally dont practice martial arts, they dont need to.

You are reinforcing my point. Brock made it to the premier org of MMA and wound up being champion. You cannot do that in any other sport. This cat not going into boxing and even reaching ranked opponents immediately let alone facing someone like Wilder or Joshua. And everything you saying he lacks doesn’t even matter, especially at HW level.

Dominic Breazeale basically did this

At that size talent pool gets smaller. Not a ton of men that big let alone athletic ones.

Palhares lookin like a Brazilian Mike Haggar. If Khabib paid them even 20 dollars I see nothing to get outraged about. It's just some push ups.

If fighting is in your DNA:mjlit:

Dont be so quick to poo poo on it, this is what any smart promoter would do. He has only faced cans so far. When he does this to a ufc top 15 then we can talk

Putting Lewis in a co-main of the biggest MMA PPV ever after that shyt performance :hhh:


Another example of Dana picking and choosing who he likes and what principals he stands on. If it was Woodley or someone he’d be in the press conference talking about that belt will never headline another event or Woodley will never get a PPV match again.

I see it as more of a setup fight for Volkov who has been on a tear. Young(for a heavyweight) Russian, former M1 champ like Khabib.

Lewis has looked like shyt, Volkov should finish him in 2 rounds. Volkov takes out a black beast, Khabib kills a irish chicken.
