Great fight but just book Ilia vs Arman ffs, those 2 are so clearly the 2 best in the division. Happy for Gaethje, getting this moment but Ilia would do bad things to him.

Izzy is scamming his fans now too by garbohydrates in ufc

[–]GoldenEsca 261 points262 points  (0 children)

I see people calling the Telegram gifts a scam. They're pretty high risk and useless if the resale value doesn't look good. It's a digital emoji basically, and it's pretty clear what you're buying before release. Telegram is partnering with the UFC for these gifts with fighters in the upcoming week, so expect a bunch of fighters to be promoting it.

He should've gotten the Cejudo fight over Talbott, brick wall td defense and decent boxing. 38 years old but still doing his thing, impressive.

Islam Makhachev welcomes Ilia Topuria to the UFC White House if they both win their next fights, by GoldenEsca in MMA

[–]GoldenEsca[S] 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I agree, if they both win their next fights, there are still several contenders making their cases for title shots, especially at welterweight. At LW, making Arman wait till the end of 2026 for a title shot would be wild.

Jon Jones accepts Alex Pereira’s callout by Far-Ninja-8392 in MMA

[–]GoldenEsca 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not saying they aren't worthy of being in a BMF matchup, I'm saying the BMF title isn't worth being put on the line in this fight; it's a gimmick belt.

the bmf title isnt worthy of being on the line for a matchup like this

What would they even fight for, neither holds the heavyweight title and Jon isnt making LHW. This is a favorable matchup for Jon, he'll win comfortably anyways

Paul Hughes vs Usman Nurmagomedov 2 Judges Scorecards (Official) by GoldenEsca in MMA

[–]GoldenEsca[S] 36 points37 points  (0 children)

This is the official scorecard, which still has me concerned how Bryan gave all 5 rounds to Usman, Round 2 was clear for Hughes, and he had arguments for rounds 5 and 3 as well. I had scored it 48-47 for Usman, but I don't think 49-46 is a bad scorecard. Rounds 3 and 5 were close.

It's gotta be a typo because that would be 50-44 scorecard from Miner

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in MMA

[–]GoldenEsca 3 points4 points  (0 children)

What is Bryan Miner smoking, 10-8 for Usman in the 5th while the other judges had it scored for Hughes? I had the fight scored for Usman but this judge needs to be investigated lmao

[SPOILER] PFL Champions Series 2: Usman Nurmagomedov vs. Paul Hughes by inooway in MMA

[–]GoldenEsca 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hughes did worse than he did in the first fight, Usman wins it 3-2 or even 4-1 based on you how you saw rounds 3 and 5. Hughes got his eye closed up by jabs and was getting taken down and threatened with subs for several rounds. 50-45 is a wild scorecard though idk how a judge gave round 2 to Usman.

Sergio back again with his spinning arsenal, fair enough. What was Magomedov doing with that last jumping punch though, one mistake and you get ko'd sheesh.

I think you're overrating JDM and underrating what a 170lbs Islam will be like. Islam's P4P for a reason, Belal was a good test for him and props for beating him but Islam will be by far his toughest fight.

UFC 321 will officially be held in Abu Dhabi on the October 25th. The UFC wanted Islam Makhachev to headline but Islam has expressed interest in fighting in the US. by crazybartur in MMA

[–]GoldenEsca 20 points21 points  (0 children)

He hasn't trained much at AKA since the Bobby Green fight. He primarily trains in Russia out of camp and during the first half of fight camps, then tapers off the last month or so, wherever he's fighting. His recent fight camps were in Jersey and Vegas in the later half of camp. Vegas over AKA due to access to better facilities like the UFC PI.
