He looked really good at the weigh-ins, was in much better shape than his Usman fights
Why people mad at Jorge now? Didn't fanboys love his "Two piece a soda" which was him sucker punching Leon Edwards. Didn't he run up on Bisping? Didn't he talk about the importance of a good sucker punch and dash back when they dikk riding him.
I hate Jorge Masvidal, less than Colby but I hate him all the same but he ain't switch up, fanboys did.
I meant more so that the wrestling took his power almost immediately, where as in the Usman 1 fight he was throwing hard late into the fight.
considering Usman 1 was short notice and colby was not, I think there was a noticeable break in jorges fight shape.
jorge's ppl and khabib's ppl are not the sameSo Colby was talking shyt a nd now he's pressing charges?
At least Conor didnt press charges when they jumped the cage and assaulted him for talking shyt.
They jumped the gun, but since then he has been charged
Jorge Masvidal charged with aggravated battery after alleged attack on Colby Covington at restaurant
ONE Championship had a really good card this morning. A lot of finishes and back and forth on the main card. Demetrious "Mighty Mouse" Johnson fought a crazy mixed rules bout where the first round was Muay Thai rules and the second was MMA rules. I won't spoil the results in case brehs want to watch it later.
Former UFC Fighter Chael Sonnen Suspended From ESPN After Being Charged With Battery For Wild Vegas Brawl - Maxim
Sonnen allegedly punched a man, then punched and kicked a second man, punched a third man in the face, punched and kneed a fourth man and struck a fifth man with his elbow
Retired UFC fighter-turned-MMA commentator Chael Sonnen has been suspended by ESPN after being charged with 11 counts of battery, including a felony classified as “battery by strangulation,” stemming from a Dec. 18 brawl in Las Vegas, according to court records.
Sonnen currently works as an MMA analyst for ESPN. “Chael will not appear on ESPN as we explore the details of these serious charges,” the sports media company said in a statement, per ESPN.com.
The criminal complaint filed against Sonnen and obtained by ESPN says six people were attacked, including a man he is accused of strangling. The complaint states that Sonnen allegedly used “force of violence upon” a woman “by punching/striking” and pushing her.
Sonnen, according to the complaint, allegedly punched the first man, punching and kicking a second man, punching a third man in the face, punching and kneeing a fourth man and striking a fifth man with his elbow .
Sonnen, 44, is a former multiple-time UFC title challenger, perhaps best known for his rivalry with longtime former middleweight champion Anderson Silva, considered by many to be one of the UFC’s best fighters ever.
The brash and charismatic 185-pound contender Sonnen was a popular foil to Silva and some of the biggest UFC stars of his era.
The former wrestling All-American at the University of Oregon was suspended by the Nevada State Athletic Commission for testing positive for several performance-enhancing drugs, including human growth hormone (HGH) and erythropoietin (EPO). It was his third positive drug test in MMA.
Sonnen never returned to the UFC after the suspension, signing with Bellator. He retired from MMA competition in 2019 and has worked for multiple promotions and media outlets as an analyst.
Sonnen first received five battery citations in the case–stemming from a brawl at the Luxor Hotel and Casino–but those were dismissed in January without prejudice, which means the charges can be refiled
