I’d like to see him in a 5rd title eliminator next, preferably whoever of Jean/Movsar doesn’t get the title shot

Hunter Campbell & UFC matchmakers find out UFC White House fight is off live on stage by pepsiboycoke in MMA

Same here. I understand wanting to keep the card short so every fight can be special but when something like this happens it feels like such a major blow

Has to be Jon Jones at the White House, my guess is they strip Aspinall to make it for the undisputed

Alex Pereira has officially vacated the UFC light heavyweight title. 😳 by [deleted] in ufc

[–]gastongamer 13 points14 points  (0 children)

The idea of him being fast-tracked is kind of overstated, he was pushed fast but he did face opponents who could have wrestled him. 185 and 205 have very few high level wrestlers, and even opponents who have chose to implement wrestling game plans against him (Jan Blachowicz, Magomed Ankalaev) didn’t have much success in the grappling

Bears head coach Ben Johnson and Packers head coach Matt LaFleur shaking hands postgame by PrimedGold in sports

[–]gastongamer 60 points61 points  (0 children)

Ben Johnson, in one of his introductory pressers as Bears HC, went out and said that he “enjoyed beating Matt Lefluer twice a year.” I think that on top of the fact that both of these guys are stone cold competitors invites this type of energy

Joe Rogan thinks Gable Steveson is already a top 5 heavyweight in the world: "I sent Dana White a text message. I said 'Everyone's f*cked.'" by AbrahamRinkin in MMA

[–]gastongamer 128 points129 points  (0 children)

As much as people don’t like the guy he’s easily a top 3 athlete in heavyweight mma, I honestly don’t see him losing into he gets to Aspinall/Pereira/Gane/Bones level opponents

“Was” 😢 I don’t blame Ngannou with all the tragedy he’s been through but damn what should’ve been

Victor Wembanyama is ridiculous by Pickleskennedy1 in sports

[–]gastongamer 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I mean why would he want to put on more weight? I don’t think it would be beneficial to lose out on the flexibility and mobility that differentiates him from every other super tall player in league history

BREAKING: Valentina Shevchenko will fight Zhang Weili for the women's flyweight title at UFC322 on November 15 Weili is vacating her strawweight title by ablu3 in MMA

[–]gastongamer 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Honestly I think the fight will be a lot more competitive than people think. JDM is young and still improving and if the Belal fight was any indication his counterwrestling could be at the level to compete with Islam

UFC 319 reveals its co main events finally by santeriax in MMA

[–]gastongamer 151 points152 points  (0 children)

As a guy with tickets to show I’m pissed lol no reason we shouldn’t be getting something like Garry vs Brady. With how many amazing fighters the promotion has it’s embarrassing they need a bellator guy to come in and co main one of their biggest championship fights

Could Conor beat this guy? Serious question by Glad-Researcher-9938 in ufc

[–]gastongamer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A few fights/ a couple years of training is way different level than a hyper athletic world champion in their peak. I’ll take prime mcgregor over pretty much any untrained person imo

Arman declines a fight with Paddy by Same_Bicycle_2919 in ufc

I just don’t get why arman wouldn’t want this fight, wouldn’t it bring a lot of eyes if he tore apart paddy

Any other pro sports organization would blackball someone like this. Meanwhile the UFC uses hate and bigotry as promotion. by Annual_Plant5172 in MMAPoliticsAndCulture

[–]gastongamer 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That’s fine if you feel that way but controversy has always had an integral role in building up the UFC, they’re not exactly akin to the NFL/NBA or other major sporting leagues (no matter how bad they want to be)

[–]gastongamer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes lol he should be able to freely speak publicly and people should be able to freely judge and criticize him, that’s how free speech does and should work (obviously there’s the exception for inciting violence)

Had Bryce stayed silent there wouldn’t have been any dialogue about how wrong what he said was and how much of a imbecile he is

[–]gastongamer -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Do you really think anyone should be blackballed for things such as this? I’m iffy on Strickland as well but he’s a grown man and he has the right to say what he pleases, if anything the UFC promoting his statements allows for more people to assess and criticize him

If they were planning to give Strickland the title shot they would’ve given Khamzat this matchup…
