I know anything can happen in MMA, but come on!

DC better steamroll this cornball on Saturday. One solid body kick and Lewis should go down for the count!

Volkov is a dumbass :francis:

Holobaugh vs Burgos is a nice low key fight this weekend. Actually, Fight Pass prelims are kinda fire. Kelleher has a fight and Vannata too. I'm hoping we get Jason Knight back on track on the prelims...He seemed like he had so much potential and just fell off HEAVY.

Derrick Lewis' life story is crazy...getting chased with a shotgun and catching a charge for beating the dude up; training with George Foreman who wanted him to go pro boxing; and then the crazy fast rise thanks to taking a ton of fights in quick order these last couple of years. This dude needs to drop a biography.

Love Burgos's striking, very slick

In the building for this press conference. Jones, Gus, Cyborg and Nunes; I couldn’t resist that. If they don’t kick us out I’ll prolly stick around for the weigh ins.

This shyt is still hilarious, one of the most retarded performances I've ever seen

:pachaha:

Man, I love MMA but this is one of the biggest problems I have with it. I know these dudes are highly skilled and there are plenty of ways to win or lose, but they get too many passes for sloppy stupid shyt.

Dudes take turns punching each other in the head and then the commentators geek out over how it was one of the best fights they've seen.

I will never forget Fabricio Werdum straight sprinting at Stipe like a 7th Grader chasing someone in the cafeteria before getting clipped and knocked out :mjlol:

I was watching like was that the gameplan? :what:

fukkery is fukkery but then we attach superlatives to how legendary this win was or that upset was, discounting the low IQ fighting that took place.

As a sidenote, that's why I love that some of the smartest fighters they have are black. There's a higher level of skill and intelligence at play whenever Jones, DC, Woodley, or Mighty Mouse are fighting.

Can't wait to see Israel Adesanya do his thing tomorrow :blessed:
