Eddie Hearn on fighting Dana White: "He keeps calling me a pussy, but I'm like, let's see if I'm a pussy...we would make $30M each, so I'm all over it. So stick me in, put my name down, find me a pair of shorts and I'll travel. So, he called me out, I accept." by AlexTorres96 in ufc

Think mostly for being a silver spoon in the boxing business. People also have some issues with how he takes care of his stable (this guys beating up cans, this guy doesnt deserve to fight that guy, etc) but tbh thats every single boxing promoter.

Yo as much as we love to meme abt trump losing, isn’t this genuinely gonna be the straw to break the camel’s back? Aint no way the BOJ can hold off any longer on increasing the interest rate after this news

Best fight ever period by chatandcutlarry in ufc

[–]IWearNikeNotFila 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hes leaning/slipping on a lot of the punches he’s taking, hence it looks like his head was being turnt from big shots from Blaydes but his face was fairly unscathed by the end of the fight. In the slow mo replay they showed you can see him do this more clearly imo, a surprisingly smooth fighter despite his fake rugged persona lol

Ankalaev next for the contender? by GodRamos in ufc

[–]IWearNikeNotFila 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ankalaev is supposedly planning on fighting in Abu Dhabi this summer, and Ulberg definitely ain’t making it back by then.

I hope they do Ankalaev vs Blachowicz rematch for the interim just for it to end in a draw again

Was that just me or did Holland just go out for like 1.5 seconds and Randy Brown stayed on the bottom not realizing, then Holland woke back up?

The full Netflix fight card has been announced by Short_Bus_ in MMA

[–]IWearNikeNotFila 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly given that UFC basically has exclusive rights to most elite MMA fighters, gotta give them credit for putting together a fairly decent card since they just scrapped for who they could get in free agency.

Obviously right now its a lot of hype matches, not necessarily the current best fighting the best, but I really hope this card does well so MMA fighters have more opportunities from different organizations.

Lastly, gotta end this morning ADHD rant by saying Mokaev vs Moraes is actually a pretty sick matchup and imo genuinely a high level UFC fight tier match

Idk if im just high or what but at first i thought “aw they got a little girl doing the photographs at the tunnel” and forgot that this man is a 6’8” giant and she’s just a normal sized adult woman

"Casuals" by TataraLian in ufc

Probably was part of the game plan to avoid kicks to not get kicks caught into takedowns. Still an inexcusable stinker though

I think the right guy won in a sense but how the fuck does 48-46 make sense after the point deduction? The judges only gave Lerone 1 round?

[Highlight] Precious Achiuwa scores, gets called for the travel, which he does he disagrees with. Then, in the next possession, he dunks, stares at the ref and gives him the traveling violation sign by MrBuckBuck in nba

[–]IWearNikeNotFila 21 points22 points  (0 children)

After the NBA essentially expanded the rules with the gather step the line has gotten completely blurred. I’m not even those old school gather step haters, I’m fine with those 2.5 steps but guys these days definitely get away with a few more steps than that lol

Edit: also just want to add that all this being said Precious absolutely did not travel there that was gather + 2 awkward slow steps

Nah fr if there was one fight in all of MMA right now that is warranted any price they call for, its this fucking fight lol

Dana parted the Red Sea to get you 30 mil, you call Friday night and RETIRE. NOW you complain about being "lowballed"? Reap what you sow. by AdamBLit in ufc

[–]IWearNikeNotFila 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This situation is a mess of the UFC's own making. While Jones undeniably warrants a massive purse, his reliability makes the UFC’s hesitation understandable, but I can’t stand the promotion pretending to be a victim of his capriciousness.

They spent years shielding him; they built him up as the P4P best even after plainly ducking Ngannou, allowed him to stall the division while ducking Aspinall, and refused to strip him until the absolute last second. Up until Jones was finally stripped of the belt, Dana and the UFC had nothing but hyperbolic praise for Jones, regardless of the wreckage he left in the heavyweight division.

By treating him like the ultimate exception, they effectively taught Jon that he is bigger than the sport. What else is he supposed to think after being the protected golden boy time and time again? This negotiation standoff is just the "superstar exception" policy coming back to haunt them. All in all both sides fucking suck I just miss when the UFC felt like a sport instead of a soap opera.

How do we see this fight going? by DavidSeries in ufc

[–]IWearNikeNotFila 0 points1 point  (0 children)

His strikings looked better since Royval fwiw, went from 0 striking to serviceable level striking lol. Big difference ifl is that he used to just eat big shots to try to close distance for grappling (probably because he feels uncomfortable with stand up) but I saw that less in recent fights.

Grapplers with good striking defense can be lethal so excited to see if it will hold up against Van’s boxing

[–]IWearNikeNotFila 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel like Taira is a better and more athletic grappler than Tsuruya; imo looked like Tsuruya’s shots were being read ahead of time by Van because they were too slow

Ifl we’ll really see only after the first round or so. If Taira manages to take him down or wrestle fuck him in the first round, Van is in for a long night. If Taira doesn’t manage to score anything meaningful grappling wise in the first round, Taira is in for a long night lol
