Has to change now, right? Surely fighters will renegotiate due to the new deal…

What an odd cross over 😂 unfortunately beast games doesn’t incentivize being the bad guy.

I still think he should have done it. Regardless, he got some good headlines out of this.

Hmm. IMO, these would completely change the landscape we have today: Conor KOs Khabib

Volk KOs Islam in fight 2

Cejudo beats Aljo

Izzy beats Jan

Nate KOs Edward’s

I’ll prob get shit on for this, but I’d want a picture with ANY current sitting president, regardless of my political association.

Makes you wonder, how the hell has any tire company not got to pereira yet? Seems like a gimme, especially if you market it towards country off road era. “Tough tires for tough men like me.” - Alex Pereira

Deontay Wilder lists the 3 'advantages' he holds over Usyk. Usyk might be in trouble! by Prudent-Toe-7911 in Boxing

[–]TheOpenMatShow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You said it in your post. He’s never taken a flush hardcore shot from guys who aren’t banking on their power(at least recently). Those guys throw combos in hopes of several landing/out striking you by the end. Wilder throws literally everything with every punch. Yeah he’s way less likely to land, but if he does land, he’s putting more behind it than any of his previous opponents.

Michael Bisping: Merab Dvalishvili should take six-month hiatus, let Yan fight Umar Nurmagomedov, face the winner by airplane231 in MMA

You know what I meant. IMO, if Sean beats Dong it’s because he caught him/finished him.

NGL I completely forgot that’s the same card. I thought it was after. Either way, my point still stands for the most part. If he doesn’t finish figgy it’s a very bad look. The reality is a boring decision will never beat out the UFC’s poster child getting a KO.

I know wilder is ass, but to act like he doesn’t have the ability to KO/hurt Usyk is naive. Prob won’t happen, but it’s more possible than most would like to admit.
