My thoughts about the sport of MMA. Maybe nobody cares and I’m screaming into the void, but it’s better than talking someone’s ears off IRL. 

I don't know, Borics looked real good versus Burnell. I see Pico winning by ground and pound.

One of the reasons Derrick Lewis is my favorite fighter is how active he stays! He has had at least 2 fights each year since 2014, which is impressive and I don’t know if abother heavyweight has done this in the UFC. 

The other thing is he always has tough opponents. 

“Bellator sucks”
“Bellator is the B league at best”
“Bellator is a retirement league”

Face of Bellator faces UFC fan favorite. 

Face of Bellator is going to smash the old UFC vet. Why?

Younger (by 1 year), hasn’t taken as much damage (KOd and on the brink of death in the other), on the way up (??? 2 fight losing streak against top 2 of division. 

This logic about Tony Ferguson stinks of UFC PR. 

I’m not hating on Chandler. He seems like a great guy and a valid challenger for the belt. But his only win in the UFC is against Hooker. I just think more respect should be given to Tony Ferguson. He is a free thinker and has provided MMA fans with several amazing performances. 

Ferguson went to decision with Oliveira and was saved by the ref against gaethje. 

Chandler should have been saved by the ref against gaethje too. He lost a decision to Dariush too but I would argue Dariush would do the same to Chandler. 

After watching a classic Romero performance, my bad day is turning around.

What is Oliveira’s contact situation when you factor the missed weight?

Dolce says Oliveira doesn’t get PPV points now. 

Everyone needs to realize, if Oliveira beats Gaethje (as long as it’s not controversial) he will be in the next title fight or he’ll be fighting somewhere else. 

Dolce was wrong according to White because Oliveira gets his PPV points. I’m still wondering what is contract situation is otherwise. 

Joe Lauzon takes his own $150 scale with him to fight week. 

talking about how **** taste. 

The UFC promotion really has everyone thinking Diaz has been turning down fights. 

Also Gilbert Burns is such a great fighter but is so cringy out of the cage. I would compare him to Gaethje.

Imagine thinking Aleksander Rakić is a boring fighter. We have a matchup an amazing matchup that could have happened earlier for the belt.

Pereira said he lost 19kg (41lbs) in the month leading up to the fight against Ponzinnibio and 13kg (28lbs) the week of the fight.

I was unaware of the large influence Carlos Felipe has had on Almeida’s career and that they are training  partners. 

Kevin Holland said he helped the driver of an overturned truck. His heroics continue. Kevin “Batman” Holland!

Masterpiece 

Cory Sandhagen has only beaten one fighter (Linekar) on a winning streak in the UFC. All his other victories have come against a fighter who at most had one consecutive UFC victory. 

Sterling & Yan cashed in victories against Sandhagen for championship fights. 

I think we will see Dillashaw do the same next.
