Kai Asakura shattered another dude's jaw this weekend (UFC vet Ulka Sasaki). That rematch with Horiguchi is gonna be one of my most anticipated fights of 2020.

GSP possibly coming back to fight Khabib....

I'd take it over Tony Ferg at this point.

I can easily see it doing numbers.

As previously reported on Monday, the management team of Andre Ewell voiced concerns about a racial slur being used in reference to him during Saturday evening’s bout with Marlon Vera at UFC Fight Night 161 in Tampa, Florida. Since publication, the cornerman who is believed to have uttered the slur, Colin Oyama, responded to a request for comment regarding the incident.

In a lengthy statement, Oyama, the owner of Team Oyama in Irvine, California, expressed regret for using the slur, but insists he meant no harm by it.

“I may be a lot of things. But I’m definitely not a racist. I’ve worked with fighters of all colors and creeds. Learned to box with a lot of Hispanics. One of the biggest problems the Hispanic fighters had was dealing with the speed and footwork of a lot of the African American fighters.

“One of the methods that was pushed was to attack the body of the African American fighters, in an attempt to slow the [fight] down and try [to] alleviate the speed advantage that many of them appeared to have. The term “mayate killer” was a slang that was used to attack the body.

Nothing but facts how the hell Jones calling someone out to move up a division and Jones still hasn't moved up HW! Jones is looking like a clown.

Jones shouldve been moved up, fighters who have cleaned out their divisions usually have no issues moving up in weight. Who the hell else does Jones even have to beat? Matter fact, wasnt dude talking bout fighting Lesnar the past couple years? Hes got no room to talk

He murder both, they have no advantages against him

I think Weidmann might hold his own a bit wrestling wise. I mean dont get me wrong, Jones would still win, but it wouldnt be as easy as folks think it would be.

Like him or not dude is right. How do you feel comfortable speaking on the champ when you’ve lost 5 of your last 6 by brutal KO. There’s levels to this shyt.

Dudes out here popping off like “no comment” doesn’t exist anymore. During a fight week at that. Get past Reyes before you mention Bones.
