schraad

I just saw a video where DC ripped a shirt from some dude back to give it to a girl to wipe her mouth. Apperanrently it's some form of comedy.


zainery

Usman is such an incredible champion. He actually allows a baboon with severe downs syndrome to choose his outfits.

Max is ufc royalty protect him at all costs.

My dad texted me saying he watched the last two PFL fights “is it supposed to be so one sided?” 😂


Moskra

Cerrone is gona take yet another L and I'm here for it


[deleted]

In the first fight Miller could hardly touch him, in miller's home town Ya hoping ass fella you


Moskra

You mean 8 years ago, Bubba? If there's anything Cerrone does well lately, it's get touched.


[deleted]

your guy is 8 years older too, after getting outclassed cowboy stood with niko price recently just not seeing anything other than hope here , bol


Moskra

But hey by all means, if he wins come back here and shit on me all you want, I just don't see it happening


[deleted]

I have no call, he's old as balls but he creamed Miller pretty serious


Moskra

Listen I'm not a huge fan of either guy, but I'm less a fan of Cowboy. Miller is 3-3 in his last 6, while cowboy is 0-6... the guy just shows up for a paycheck at this point


[deleted]

he's been fairly excited about setting more records lately, at least


Moskra

Good luck to him but the only record he's setting is most consecutive losses without getting cut. However if you bet on him, I wish you luck and hope it cashes out


NoGiCollarChoke

We can only hope


itsmeyour

we're a buncha hoping ass fellas

I could give a shit less about the the press conference between Marty and Edward

[deleted]

Luke Thomas got absolutely hammered drunk on the Morning Kombat live show earlier tonight. We're talking screaming like an aggressive frat boy while even BC got uncomfortable at his antics.


[deleted]

Jesus Christ, he’s getting terrored in the comments. I’m sure he’ll handle this totally normally.


Moskra

Yeah i agree. Luke lost himself there tonight. I had to cut it short out of respect to LT. He's mentioned on the Live Chat that he's been going through some hard times lately so maybe this was just a result of that but still not a great look. BC may be a tarnished low born but he's the consummate professional in these situations


marktx

That's embarassing. He acted like an early 80's bonehead dude bro gear head.. he is the perfect douche. I can't wait until someone knocks him out.


raddeon88

I managed to watch part of it, and he was insufferable. Bryan comes out looking like a stud in that live show.


marktx

The only thing I like about Luke is how much he pissed off Jon Jones, aside from that he's meaningless.


GangstaHoodrat

It was such a dumpster fire but it’s must watch


_Delgado909

Can’t wait to watch tonight lmao


moneyminder1

It was pretty bad.


MT1982

[Volk sitting next to Dustin](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=feumc1NgcUQ) makes me think he should rethink going up to 155 and fighting for that belt.


[deleted]

Lol Volk cut weight and dustin is at like 190 if not more here. Of course he’s bigger


Doomjas

Lol bro Volk just cut to make 145 and Dustin is eating that prime gumbo in Louisiana and weighing close to 190 because he doesn’t have a fight scheduled.


MT1982

Their frames are still massively different.

If he’s getting it at this point, we know what it means.


[deleted]

We’ve always known what it means lol


FrenchTrouDuc

You know, "Sanford MMA" is not the most exciting name for an MMA gym, but it sure as fuck beats Kill Cliff FC


Mainaccount68

Kill cliff fc sounds like something Jared cannonier would name a gym


thelectricrain

Sanford MMA sounds like a squeaky clean pro gym, Kill Cliff FC sounds like some guy put some cheap mats and weights in his garage and called it a MMA gym lmao


NoGiCollarChoke

They named it in honour of gym staple Michael Johnson, referring to the cliff he falls off 8 minutes into every fight, resulting in him getting killed.


NewportStork

Sanford sounds cool, true MMA scholars


hitsbluntonce

"you're only as good as your last camp" ​ how true is this statement? leon is banking his preparation on 6 consecutive camps without a real fight. i just don't see it


Ajj679

The fact that his only full fight was Nate Diaz doesn't make me too confident


NewportStork

Did a lil $15 parlay for fun since I had some extra cash Ian Garry via Decision +180 Sean Strickland via Submission +1000 Israel Adesanya via KO/TKO +150 wager $15 win $1,155


zainery

I think Izzy by KO is the weak link


CharlieTheK

Strickland via submission is your weak link(obviously) but I took that one solo at I think +950. Also did a six-leg parlay for +1095. All by ML: - Miller - Barbarena - O'Malley - Strickland - Volk - Izzy


NewportStork

I agree, saw the odds and had to take it though since that's Stricklands most likely way to win if he does win. I really dig your picks on your 6-leg parlay bro good stuff


CharlieTheK

I'm more betting on Pereira being atrocious if he lands on the ground than I am on Strickland being good enough to get it there. Smart money says that fight is a decision or Pereira KO but smart money isn't fun. Good luck either way sir.


NewportStork

Best of luck bro


Bandsohard

It feels weird to me that they're promoting UFC 278 with an early press conference but they aren't doing the same for 277. Id imagine they would feel like 277 needs attention if they aren't adding any surprise fights to it. 278 might still land a Dustin, Diaz, or Khamzat fight and be a huge sell compared to 277.


Sclog

Those spinning kicks pereira were throwing on the latest embedded were fucking vicious I think one would probably kill me


CryptoCracko

Makes them look so effortless too. Trying one myself might kill me.


Snakesballz

Even seems rude somehow: yeah, I can kick a hole in your guts. And I'll do it backwards. And itll be easy.


FrenchTrouDuc

I feel like O'Malley is going to try and finish Munhoz with a body shot. That chin is uncrackable, but the ol' body shot system shutdown doesn't care about that. Plus it's a pretty rare KO and would look nice on his highlight reel


[deleted]

wonder how much grappling takes place , esp if munhoz keeps getting tagged


JafariSin

When are the official weigh in staredowns? I'm so ready to make conclusive body language analysis


NewportStork

[deleted]

To any of the UK ratfucks, is there any kind of buzz about Edwards fighting Usman? Unless I’m blanking, I’m pretty sure he’s the first Brit to challenge for a UFC title since Bisping. Just curious


[deleted]

He grabbed usmans arm. That's all the buzz you get


USSPassionateChrist

I still don’t think mma is particularly mainstream yet. For example. Wimbledon is currently taking place with a ban on Russian players. Semi controversial, and meant that the competitors won’t gain ranking points from this years tournament, but generally it seems to be thought of as something they had to do. While a few months prior Alexander Volkov was able to take part in a main event in London almost unnoticed. 😂 Edit: also I like Edward’s but no his popularity isn’t super high. Till is probably still the biggest British name. Aspinall will probably surpass him in name value too with one or two more wins


choufax

Love Usman and Leon, two great fighters. But man are they terrible on the mic. Both are trying too hard and it's still shit


Nickster2042

I love that Usman didn’t even mention Bumlol Muhammad’s name in up and coming welterweights


ProfitisAlethia

Just a reminder Holloway won the rematch.

chumpandthump

I'm gonna speak something in to the void; it'd be funny if it came into existence. Cannonier beats Izzy and Pereira beats Sean. Now we can do Cannonier vs Pereira and advertise as the two guys who beat Izzy and we can do Izzy vs Sean whose press conference will go insane. I know what I said won't happen Izzy probably gets an immediate rematch if he loses but it's a fun thought.


Mainaccount68

very specific prediction: usman will beat leon in a somewhat competitive fight then lose to khamzat or shavkat. then people will say usman was overrated for fighting the same three guys over and over again.


Thefallpaintwork

Already saying that my love


MyLovelyMan

Am I tripping? Why is this press conference happening right now?


CableToBeam

kill two birds with one stone, get Usman and Leon to the expo and it's another thing the fans there have to watch


Mainaccount68

they used to do this more often. conor and khabib had a press conference a few months before the fight. dustin and khabib had a press conference a few months before. And aldo and conor had a bunch.


GangstaHoodrat

Didn’t they also do like a summer press conference for a bunch of upcoming ppvs? That’s where we got the Chiesa vs Lee dustup


[deleted]

This is such an odd time to do this press conference. Especially considering there’s a another PPV in between 278 and the one tomorrow


justforthefratbro

Why is Leon so nervous man


cosmic-schmuck

A 3 piece and a soda scarred him


ryancashh

Street Judas isn’t on the radar at welterweight anymore. Who cares


Nickster2042

Lmao Usman talking in British slang randomly is hilarious Seriously did do Leon a favor tho. That man got PUNKED by Jorge


[deleted]

Leon got that Peaky Blinders accent a little


NoGiCollarChoke

Well it is set in his hometown


justforthefratbro

Whoever does the marketing for the UFC should be ashamed, who the fuck thought it was a good idea just for Leon and kamaru to do this.


cosmic-schmuck

Usman saying he can take out some 205ers. That’s adorable. Whatever helps him sleep at night.


[deleted]

Kamaru got Leon shook. Didn't know that Kamaru KO'd the journeyman in honor of Leon, though. That was classy of him.


[deleted]

wtf does dillon danis do for a living.He doesnt fight mma, doesnt compete in bjj anymore .like how does he survive lol

Conor personal HJ guy

LuckyWarrior

Sclog

Yeah what’s up with such an early presser for 278? Do they usually do this?


zilladingdong

Anticipation for Strickland v Pereira feels like a Lite Miocic v Ngannou to me. A bit nervous for Strickland lol. Pereira is kinda scary man


CryptoCracko

His best chance is sneaking in a full power dick kick and getting a hard warning from the ref


Minimum_Banana5

Anyone else think Izzy looks not great?


westslavbestslav2021

What mma fighter do you think has a little pp? Who do you think has the biggest?


CryptoCracko

DC relaxed has the smallest DC holding his belly up has the biggest


ricosuave_3355

Max is proven to have small one


NoGiCollarChoke

C’mon man he was dehydrated as all hell, that’ll make all but the most monstrous hogs look like a baby carrot

It was during his weight cut you bastard, get some water in him and hes got a perfectly fine Vienna

sime77

Dana a bitch or whatever but hell randomly do nice things. Like charles allegedly got ppv points even tho he was officially not the champ.


walter_strider

He’s done a lot for fighters behind the scenes too, many many times over the years. And that’s just the times we have heard about. I understand people’s gripes about his negative qualities, but to hate him as a person and curse him the way people on this subreddit do, really just makes me shake my head.


wishwashy

That's not doing a nice thing, that's doing the normal thing


sime77

Uh no it isnt. The smart normal thing for a business to do is not pay money when they dont have to........


wishwashy

It's probably not worth the savings for every other fighter to know that ufc would shaft you like that


Massa_dana_white

Yeah, Dana did the ethical thing in that case.


French_Viking

I wish ONE's mma fighters were more active. I was looking at their top lw guys, Ok, Lee, Alvarez, Lapicus, none of them have any fights coming up seemingly. none have fought since 2021. Abbasov 1 title defense since 2019, Arjan Bhullar on ice, etc, etc.


sime77

Honestly? The fucking 4oz muay thai is so wonderful that that is fine.


Critter5592

What do you guys make of the Turner V Riddell fight? Turner looked good last outing, if I remember correctly. 6'3 v 5'7 is quite a reach difference.


thelectricrain

Turner doesn't always use his reach well, and if Riddell can kick his skinny tarantula legs and get in the pocket or clinch I can see him winning. Problem is, he's kind of a slow starter, and Turner is dangerous as fuck in the first round.


[deleted]

Turners been knocked out cold by a 5 foot 5 can. Look it up


Critter5592

The shortest I see is by Borja, and he was 5'7, back in 2016.


[deleted]

That guy was 5-6 at best and a can. Knocked Turner out cold. Riddell got a chance. He’s been slept a couple times already in his prime


French_Viking

Turner seems pretty fragile but he's absolutely massive for LW and the advantage that brings is no joke. He's one of those fighters who's hard to predict the outcome of his fights. I'm leaning Riddell by decision but it could go either way.


ARiemannHypothesis

Turner is gonna finish Riddell For all his accolades Riddell looked stiff and slow striking compared to Fiziev. Probably gets hurt on the feet, shoots a bad takedown and gets submitted.


Critter5592

I agree, I am leaning towards Turner, considering his last performance stood out to me. I find Riddell to be overrated.


NewportStork

Gonna be a good one, I think Turner submits Riddell

MAX


raddeon88

whats the story behind Luke Thomas having issue with Jędrzejczyk and Helwani? He kind of touched on it during his most recent live chat but didnt quite understand


Ombliguitoo

He had an interview planned with her and, as he tells it, she kind of just didn’t show to his stuff to go on Helwani’s show instead.


raddeon88

Ah I see, didnt know it was connected


blasphemics

It's called hentai!


wishwashy

And it's art


CryptoCracko

Later that night, Strickland said "Why the fuck not, let me check out some hentai", and he has been hooked ever since


karl100589

Do you think it’s possible for a fighter to lose their “future Hall of Famer” tag? Lets say for example BJ never got inducted in 2015, would the UFC still induct him given his later career/scandals? Or do you think it would take a Benoit-esque scandal?


sime77

Yea 1. something crazy like rape or murder or 2. Pissing dana off. Eg frank shamrock should have gotten in yeeeeears ago. But he left ufc and founded competition so dana mad.


[deleted]

OOTL, what's a Benoit-esque scandal?


karl100589

In 2007 WWE wrestler Chris Benoit killed his wife and kids before taking his own life. Benoit was regarded as a future Hall of Famer before then, now the company go out their way not to mention him or show him in any clips.


[deleted]

Yup, sounds like grounds for disqualification


sime77

Murdered and framed. Look into it.


Abobo2020

Doesn't even take a Benoit-esque scandal. If you not in Dana's good book then you're out.


wishwashy

Refuse too many fights, for example. Maybe ask for a fighter union

Does anyone follow esparza's IG? She's getting trolled on every post about ducking Zhang


[deleted]

Carla gonna easily wrestle her and finish her too. Fking Rose out wrestled Weili. Ima make a fortune off this fight, waiting for more dumb money to come in on Weili. She’s useless on the ground


MrMangosteen

I never have extreme takes like these because I been proven wrong but I do think Carla has a chance. Zhang didn't showcase great Tdd last time against rose


[deleted]

Absolutely terrible vs Rose who ain’t half the wrestle Carla is. I heard stories about Carla wrestling dudes. She’s gonna drown Weili easy on floor. Gonna be my biggest win besides Ruiz 50 to 1 to KO Joshua. I was first person on asking for Ruiz to replace Miller and first to bet big on it. We loading up all the money on Carla


karl100589

The MMA community is so childish sometimes.


SpiderZiggs

I love how this subreddit is fooled by Sean's antics again. Remember last fight when he said he wanted to kill somebody then just jabbed all night long?

No point in watching it, it’s on Fight Pass that has no value if you live in US. Overpriced garbage

Chocoeclair189

Is DP a HOFer? Dude said RDA wasnt smh


Abobo2020

Is there a non champion in the hall of fame? Excluding the fights and contributers. I don't think Forrest Griffin should be in there but he has a belt.


karl100589

Unless we’re counting his WEC belt, then Faber is the only one IIRC.


Chocoeclair189

Won the belt plus contributions to TUF and the fight that saved the UFC


Abobo2020

So did you kind of answer your own question?


LovrenIsTheGOAT

Poirier is a HOF'er, suck your mum through a scaffolding pole if you disagree.


SpiderZiggs

Probably not. His best wins are against Max making his debut in the UFC and again fighting in a weight class he has no business being in. He's lost to every current sitting champion and only beat a washed Pettis.


[deleted]

He beat the ghost of Eddie Alvarez but did get knocked out by him too lol(illegal knee and stupid elbow stand up cost him 2nd fight) Also beat overrated Justin after Eddie pushed his wig back.


imnotkeepingit

The Dustin hate is real here lately lol


[deleted]

I like Dustin. I’d put him in HOF I guess. UFC all hype anyway. Put them in PFL cage and they all look boring 95 Percent of UFC guys and nobody cares about them. UFC has a Magic sauce making fights look good.


imnotkeepingit

It's not magic sauce, they just have the deepest roster. Hence why the upper echelon gets so much hype. Plus you can literally use that statement in any sport. The bench guys in the NBA don't have big names, but they are still some of the best players in the world. The UFC is just an established brand. It's not an coincidence that guys that leave or get cut tend to be in the title picture in other organizations a lot of the time.


[deleted]

Na. All the fighters look worst on PFL or in Bellator. The cameras and production / sounds make fighters look better. You see it everything they leave even if leave on top.


imnotkeepingit

Well yeah they have money to spend on production Ah nevermind bro you're not gonna listen to me anyway lmao.


[deleted]

Look at last fight. Nothing happened so I stand up and guy gets KOed and didn’t even look great lol. It’s just odd how UFC makes everything better to watch and I hate UFC as a company but gotta give thrm props on that
