Good article from Meltzer

Major moves and streaming deals changing the landscape of combat sports

I already canceled my DAZN free trial last night.
Good read, I just noticed DAZN has added a bunch of other MMA organizations like KSW, Combate Americas, FNG, and EFC. They don't have enough talent to watch top to bottom but they have some high end talent at the top in their main events, especially FNG with all the Russians. As a boxing fan DAZN's schedule from Sept through the end of the year is enough for me to stay subscribed for at least the rest of the year.

WBSS tourney, Usyk vs Bellew, Canelo vs Felding(Felding a bum but whateva its Canelo), and Artur Berbeiv and Demetrius Andrade(his fight lost steam with BJS popping dirty) fighting. That's enough for me to pay for the app for the now.

One using that Japanese money mark money to sign Eddie Alvarez. Good for him. I'm disappointed that he's not going to be fighting better fighters though...he's going to run through the Filipinos and Thais on their roster

Get that money Eddie :salute:



If Eddie is getting paid like that I wonder what they would give a bigger name :jbhmm:

Rogan is such a lying POS.

Dude was so shook during the Khabib/Conor post-fight melee he sounded like he was going to cry :heh:

Fox crew was even worse and Chael Sonnen sounded like there was a bomb threat in the building.

MMA media shows how amateur they really are in these moments, meanwhile Stephen A Smith(the outsider) was the one putting things in perspective and shifting focus back to Mcgregors beatdown where it should be. MMA media wanna talk about Khabib jumping out the cage for the whole rest of the fukking year. :camby:

Yo he really did. He sounded like my gram watching the twin towers go down
He was crying and clutching his pearls on the broadcast, then the very next morning had a photo of Khabib jumping out of the octagon with the caption "Iconic".

shyt is disgusting.

Lol some fan managed to sneak into the cage during the Khabib/McGregor brawl. I swear only white people go into some fukkery like this :gucci:



:laff::laff: at breh in-between Dana and DC trying to get in the situation like he's some high ranking NSAC official.


DC even spoke about dude

"This is the craziest story. There’s a guy behind me, he’s wearing this nice jacket. (Something) McGregor. So he’s standing behind me and he goes, ‘Who do you got in the fight?’ This guy’s completely not into the game, right? So I go, ‘Yeah, I’m gonna go Khabib.’ So after the fight, when we all jumped the rail, I’m like in the Octagon pushing, and the guy’s like checking on Conor. He was like a fan, he was just like a fan that jumped the rail when everyone else jumped the rail and got all the way to the Octagon – he was like checking on Conor. I (later) asked my wife, “Salina, what happened with that guy, was he we with McGregor?’ She goes, ‘Daniel, after he went and checked to make sure Conor was OK he just got back in his seat.’ I swear to God. He just climbed the rail and got back in his seat. I was like, ‘What in the world just happened!? What in the world just happened!?’ It was crazy. How did this dude end up in the Octagon, and then he checked to make sure Conor was OK and then he went back and sat down."
