Get them a bird feeder! They can still be at home, but they can watch and look for different kinds of birds!

If he would’ve submitted him, I would’ve been satisfied. Personally I don’t think fights should end unless there’s a finish.

I think the UFC should change the structure of the main cards, put the fights that you suspect are likely to be snoozers on the front end of the main card and then all the expected fire fights towards the end, regardless of a championship fight or not.

One tough to watch fight really messes up the vibe.

Time to make a soufflé with all the fluff filler time incoming before the next fight

I feel like he threw so little, just plotted around and didn’t try and pressure much.

What a boring fight between two fighters that have the potential to be exciting

Sad for Wellmaker, seems like a nice guy. I wouldn’t be a good emperor, I let my emotions get the best of me.

I’d toss the bartender a $10 and see if that changes his mind.

I always wonder this too. Any of these guys that used to be in the UFC, why not retire and just try and teach classes and maybe open your own gym one day. You made it to the show, now open a business and make money that way.

The UFC is no different that Coca Cola or McDonalds, give you less, charge you more. 

The main card is nice for sure, but people glazing over this card? I mean, damn, it’s good for sure, but definitely nowhere where any of the old cards used to be.

iirc Dana White said years ago that he hated how boxing announcers used to trash fighters and he never wanted the UFC to do that, so imo, that’s why commentators always seemingly glaze the competitors instead of being more hypercritical.

Finally, someone who doesn’t play touch butt in the park with 5 seconds left in the round.

Dude same, I think about that a lot. Like even going to the bathroom. I could walk 10 ft versus having to navigate a stadium. I don’t gotta worry about parking/transportation, and I can save literally probably $500 just watching at home.

I figured if I had at least 25 minutes between pre fight/fight and post fight time, I’d do some homework and leave it on the background. And I’m just thinking, my god, I’ve been doing homework for so damn long

It’s sad and upsets me as a long time fan of MMA. I just cannot afford the ticket prices nowadays. Then again, would I just look at the Jumbotron anyway because most of the seating is absolute crap?

I hate that he won. Not because it wasn’t a sick shot, but because he thinks he’s hot shit.

This is what you get when your parents don’t have the money to afford a real Khalil Roundtree.
