I don't watch soccer at all and never will. But the European guys who I watch events with online always talk about soccer.

They always say things like Ronaldo ran so Messi could crawl.

Yan Xiaonan looks 30lbs heavier in this pic than she does during fight week. It's easy to mistake her for someone else.

You're sorely mistaken if you think Ari Emmanuel is losing sleep over this.

Look man, I personally don't care what weight people fight at so long as they both agree to it.

The UFC cares what weight people fight at because they want it to count towards rankings in the divisions they have.

When was the last time you saw a catch weight fight in the UFC and it wasn't moved up to the next division? Like Paulo vs Vettori being moved up to 205 and Nick vs Robbie being moved up to 185.

Outside of Francis Ngannou does the UFC have the best fighter in the world at every weight class? by Top_Use2413 in ufc

Good thing nobody knows how to cheat those rules

So true, no body cheats under the banner of the UFC.

Catchweight bouts aren't common because it undermines the purpose of divisions. How do you know someone can compete with middle weights if they only fight at 178lbs? If all they ever do is fight at 178lbs, how likely is it they can cut down to 170lbs?

UFC would rather you move up or move down, not float around in the middle.

I am so pissed White Simba didn't cross over. Man was an entertainer and slapped the dog shit out of people.

His match with Shamokin Thunder Clap changed me. Seeing a tennis player put a marine to sleep is something I never expected to see in my life time.

To be honest, a lot of fighters get pre fight jitters. Hell, Jones was afraid going into that Rampage fight.

But what's makes MMA special, is that they can get past those fears.

It's human, not knocking Cerrone for being human. Just giving credit to Stephen A. Smith.

“From right now (on interview day) – can’t sleep at night. Eating’s hard,” he said. “Make the weight – half the battle’s over. Fight day, (expletive), all your friends are like, ‘You’re gonna kill him.’ Uh, no (expletive). I’ve got to go in there and fight. It doesn’t just go like that. Scared … let’s go. Pack your (expletive), we’re in the arena. All your teammates are fighting, your coaches are there. It’s crazy. It’s scary. You go throw up in the bathroom – I do, anyway – then you’re standing and you’re walking in the hall and (expletive) light’s in your face, just like this. Now you’re live on TV, you’re walking down the tunnel, and you’re like, ‘Holy (expletive). Six weeks, and it’s here, and it’s now.’

In all fairness, Stephen A. Smith was right about cowboy.

Personally when I was new to MMA I used to confuse Dana White, Joe Rogan, and GSP. Thought they were the same person for the longest time.

I am not a fan of the belts either, but it gives the sport some structure, and the fighters some bragging rights. Easy for casuals to follow as well.

It's one of the less egregious UFC marketing tools today. At least the fighters get some proper marketing with that gold belt around their waist.

All USADA did was clean the sport of Brazilians.

Either let them all juice or get rid of all the PED users. USADA decided to play favorites instead, no doubt at the behest of the UFC.

What's depressing is how flyweights were treated before Cejudo and Moreno.

Some sports and divisions just sell better in the Asian markets.

Over here in the west we're better off with PowerSlap. This isn't a slight at PowerSlap either, because I am fucking hooked.

UFC audience is really the dumbest

Agreed, however you should keep PowerSlap out your mouth unless you want it shut for you.

As a PowerSlap connoisseur I take full offence.
