One of my biggest pet peave as a MMA fans, Is when other MMA fans call UFC fighter *****'s, All UFC fighters are braver then 99% of the population, To fight another killer half nude in a cage with millions of people watching is one of the most alpha thing you can do

It annoys me all the talk of Pedro being a *****, It the same thing  Yan fans did with Sterling, Getting eyepoke or illegal knee must suckAlso If you don't want to get punish, Follow the rules, It not hard, I don't feel bad for anyone who got DQ or no contest

Maybe I'm way off but I'm sure a lot of fans have done contact sports if not combat sorts at some point in our lives and have played through worse injuries than Pedro because we actually wanted to win. Pedro quit. He didn't want to win, he wanted to not lose. I wouldn't call him a ***** but he is a quitter.

@Duck the reason people were saying that Munhoz was 'looking for a way out' is because they're narcissists. They'd rather cook up some ******** reason as to why the fight ended rather than admit pridepubes ****** up. It's not that they even really give a **** about O'Malley. They just can't handle being wrong. It has to be someone else's fault. Not theirs. Nor the fighter they picked.

People were saying Pedro was a ***** bc he did some ***** ****? Like you really didn’t even get eye poked you just wanted Sean to get a point taken or out of the fight so yeah Pedro was a ***** I thought this was fighting not acting 😂

Theory if that wasn’t O’Malley fighting it might have been a DQ loss.

For a lot of reasons I haven’t enjoyed this card. Lawler snatching defeat from the jaws of victory by getting wreckless and by not shooting or holding barberena when he was clearly hurt. Cerrone losing for his retirement fight. The true end of the blessed era unless he makes another run. I’m sure he can but volkanovski is just a terrible matchup for him and nearly everyone else. He had a terrible gameplan and chased the fight when he didn’t need to. Use your range . Maybe yair can give him a tough time since he has more pop than max? I’d say the worst stylistic matchup for volk is Arnold Allen since he is defensively great and has good speed

This fight literally put me to sleep. The walk out was the best part of it. IZZY says he had an off night. Them what was the Robert Whitaker fight??!! Warm ups?! For the next off night? I wanted to see the best fight of the night and got the Nyquill special!

in order to make Adesanya fights fun to watch, I now only pay attention to his fingers so I can see how bad the reffing is. TAKE MORE POINTS, HE WON COMFORTABLY ON POINTS ANYWAY IT WOULD'VE HAD NO EFFECT ON THE OUTCOME. This applies to O'malley as well.

LOL 3 idiots who haven’t seen Izzy Rob 2, Izzy Romero, and Izzy Jan downvoting my post about Jared having to slow this fight down. Adesanya dominated but if Jared engaged more than he did tonight then he would’ve ended up on his back staring at the lights.

It’s sad because Max truly not only lost but also lost his ability to remain one of the all time greats, the ability to compete at the 145 championship level as long as Volkanovski is champion, and a whole lot of confidence. 

That reminded me a lot of Gaethje Ferguson. We expected so much more from Max but he looked slow and couldn’t get anything going. I guess the difference here is Volkanovski made him look slow and intercepted every strike he attempted and discouraged him. Max might have some fun fights at 155 against vets like RDA, Conor or Gaethje but he’s stuck there as he may never earn another 145 title shot again.

Max doesn't have reach on Volk bc of his relatively narrow shoulders.

Vettori and Izzy did rematch and Izzy won comfortably.

Izzy always says he has an off night when he doesn't get the finish but the reality is unless the opponent engages aggressively Izzy is content to sit back and win a point fight. He wont risk getting knocked out or even recklessly speed up the action in order to get a stoppage.
