This is why he was pushing for that Jake Paul fight so hard

UFC rankings are so goofy...how the hell is Robbie Lawler ranked #14 when he hasn't won a fight since July 2017

I was really happy to see that, especially since he fell in love with training these past few years. I still gotta watch that interview.

Plus he's going to kill that role of branding, music, and content. He's never had a problem staying relevant and tapping into different types of people's tastes and is always getting after the next big check, so he understands business.

He know it’s either that or the bare knuckle shyt. I’m sure one pays better then the other

Pettis bout to fight on espn 2

Pettis getting his asswhooped thru 2 rounds and you could have argued it should have been stopped

the fight absolutely should have been stopped, but the PFL invested a lot of money in Petis so the ref kept the fight going.

even in most bingo halls and bar rooms, that fight would have been stopped 9 times out of 10 lol


Petis is a double digit loss, BMF fighter though so this shouldn't surprise anyone who actually watches the sport ... it's all smoke and mirrors with these double digit loss, BMF fighters.

Crazy ass fight, Pettis almost stole it at the end with a headkick and then a knee but Collard recovered. Other than that sequence from Pettis, Collard dominated him.

 

[Playeroni]

Pettis was finished a few times, the 3rd round Comeback was dope. Salute to him but it was clear who won that

Dagestan - the most dangerous place in Europe
That's why combat sport big to keep kids busy

 

[The axe murderer]

Collard boxing was too much for pettis

‘I could walk away’ - Kamaru Usman hints at retirement after UFC 261
I wouldn't blame him. Get out with your health intact. You're fighting in one of The most dangerous sports while cutting weight with no iv.... this shyt aint good for the body or mind

Yea, we said it a year ago when Cejudo bowed out: Win the belt, clear your division, raise your profile, and "retire" by your early 30s... if they want you back, you give them your price. That's the modern-day UFC dream career.

It's right about that time for Usman. The whole endless slew of title defenses for the same 600k check until your body literally breaks apart (A. Silva) ain't it.

I think the big thing is
1) having enough saved or alternatives in case they never want you back (Cejudo)
2) not blowing all your money like a dumbass to where you have to come back (Conor)

[The G.O.D II]

Can we make a case for Roofus being the worst coach in MMA? Let’s look at his roster of prominent fighters

Pettis- still can’t manage to create open space, poor footwork
Felder- Has no distance closing tools so he had to eat a thousand strikes to get in range for his muy thai
Woodley-low volume, easily pressured
