Watching O’Malley get ragdolled made my entire month. Managed to hit my parlay tonight too. Valentina and Merab made me a lot of money.

Merab earned me a rack last night. #WrestlerSupremacyWorldwide

Eventually, Dana is going to learn his lesson about making these guys wait 8,9,10 fights and THEN deciding that they need to get beat. It's too late by that point.

When you're riding that big of a win-streak, you don't have nerves, you don't have jitters, you know your business, you've fine-tuned all of your weapons, and you're ready to hunt the big game (The Champion).

Can Sean O'Malley come back? I think he can and I don't think he even needs to learn how to 'wrestle'. Just level up his takedown defense/counter-wrestling to the point that he can break up or stuff Merab's takedown spam. Sniping wrestlers with suspect chins works, but when you run across a wrestler who can eat punches to get to clinches/takedowns, you're in for a long night.

As much as I like Alexa Grasso, I don't know where she goes from here. I'm tired of seeing Valentina-Alexa and Alexa didn't fight with any sense of urgency to keep the belt last night. Valentina might as well call up Manon Fiorot or Maycee Barber and see if they want to get beat before circling back around to Alexa.

Strong argument for Diego Lopes getting the winner of Max v. Ilia.

Craziest moment of 306 was when Zellhuber was damn near unconscious and still ducking and slipping punches on autopilot.
 
I hate O'Malley so much, seeing him act like a pouty bitch between rounds was great. Fucking faggot cuck. That said, it seems impossible that Merab is natural, there has to be some kind of enhancement or he is legitimately the top .0000000001% of all human beings in terms of VO2Max and just his overall physical fitness. I CANNOT WAIT for the change to knees to a grounded opponent, Merab will start finishing people just watch.

Very very boring win for Shev over Grasso. You can tell she really wanted that title back and was going to do whatever it took, but I just wasn't feeling that fight at all. Grasso seemed to feel like she was going to get the sub but never really had Shev in that much danger.

Lopes can be champ, give him the next title shot. Ortega needs to retire he doesn't look nearly as good as he did vs Volk a few years ago.

That shit was soooo good. Dana must have been really annoyed watching this guy he carefully pathed and promoted to a title get fucked on the ground for 25 minutes. What the fuck was he doing playing rubber guard? That shit doesn't work in 2024.

For those who can get a restream, watch all the times he's hoisting his leg up and trying to grab it with his hand. This is 10th planet nonsense that keeps you on your back. It's the BJJ version of giving up. Terrible idea to do this shit. So slow at just giving his back and fighting the hands (see Sandhagen or Volk against Dagestani wrestlefuckers).
 
The first round of the Ode v Ronaldo fight was awesome. Dude really got dropped and then managed to survive a dangerous triangle for nearly two minutes.

Couldn’t have said this any better myself. Highlight reel shit and fight of the year candidate in my books.

Brian v Diego was as expected to me. Entertaining bout. Diego v Max, as @Pentex said, would be a neat fight to book.

I actually enjoyed the Alexa v Valentina fight. Valentina managed to ward off Alexa’s offense very early on with some incredible counter striking and then put together a grappling masterclass. Alexa had an hematoma forming on top of her forehead within the first minute of the first round. Almost three whole fucking rounds of control time. That’s an insane statistic. No, it wasn’t the most exciting fight but I appreciated it for what it is, Valentina making a statement.

In the same vein as above, I enjoyed Sean v Merab. Really made me question whether Sean’s W over Aljo was a fluke. I don’t like Sean and I also don’t believe he’s that great of a fighter. Garbrandt 2.0. Doubt he will be the championship ever again. Merab was very smart to continue hamstringing Sean with the brutal knees from the back. Completely neutralized a key advantage. As far as Merab being on EPOs, etc., I don’t know. All of those Russian/Dagestan/Georgian fighters are probably on something. I cannot recall the source, but I remember reading that this dude engages in high elevation training for cardio basically all year round.

Sean even had the audacity to film some footage of himself in a wrestling singlet post-fight practicing some sprawling. He had an entire fight camp to practice that. Seeing both Sean and Tim Welch get silenced was so good, man. Even if I didn’t make money off of this card, that moment alone was well worth it.

Sprawling wasn't what he needed, he needed to be ready to dig underhooks, wrestle up, give his back and fight the body lock and get in the clinch trenches. Very obvious from him doing BJJ guard bullshit and his reaction by round 2 that he did not do that enough in camp. You don't see Sandhagen or Volk do this guard shit.

He even put out training camp videos the week of the event to show how he was preparing. Its running, breathwork, hitting and sparring. No videos of him wrestling up or looking like he's being pushed to the absolute limit. It's all the glamour shit.

Vs this guy. Looks miserable and you can tell how in shape he is doing this.
 

Alex Pereira hopes to train with Jon Jones before UFC 309: 'I want to grab his experience'​

Alex Pereira knows he might never get to fight fellow UFC two-division champion Jon Jones, but he's content to just train with him.

Jones (27-1 MMA, 21-1 UFC) defends his heavyweight title against Stipe Miocic (20-4 MMA, 14-4 UFC) in the UFC 309 main event Nov. 16 at Madison Square Garden in New York.

If UFC light heavyweight champion Pereira (11-2 MMA, 8-1 UFC) can come out unscathed in his title defense against Khalil Rountree (13-5 MMA, 9-5 UFC) in the UFC 307 headliner Oct. 5 in Salt Lake City, he hopes to get an opportunity to help Jones prep for Miocic. Pereira and Jones were seated next to each other this past Saturday while in attendance for UFC 306.

"We've been talking a little bit about training together for a long time, but I think now it's going to happen," Pereira told Full Send MMA through an interpreter. "His fight is going to be in November. Every time you leave a fight, it takes a week or two sometimes to recover from small injuries, but I think I'll have enough time to go over there."

Jones once argued that a matchup with Pereira would be the "biggest fight in MMA history." But after Jones alluded that his upcoming title defense vs. Miocic will likely be his last fight, Pereira sees training with him as the more realistic option.

"Today I saw him more athletic, more fit since he last fought. He looks really good, and I want to grab his experience," Pereira said. "People talk about us fighting, but people say he's going to fight one time, once or twice more. I don't know if I'll be able to share the cage with him, but at least I want to get the experience of training with him."

He and Cormier are a particularly terrible pairing. They talk so much shit.

Bisping on the international cards is particularly terrible because the british play-by-play guy lets him talk through the entire fight. Did his best to ruin Glover vs Jiri with constant rambling.

Moicano showing how grapplers can make fights fun. Unfortunate that it ended in doctor's stoppage, basically a delayed round 1 finish.

Two guys who have a podcast start podcasting on air. Terrible.
Allen got shown his level so happy about that. Lucked into that win vs Curtis.
Nignog got a hometown decision. Got one of the most fraudulent 4 fight UFC winstreaks I've seen. Split, Majority decision, dick kick TKO and another shitty split. Terrible fighting style that sucks the fun out of the fight.
 
I fucking love Moicano. He has earned me so, so, SO much money in the past three years.

What a performance. BSD was the boogie man of the division and Money just shut him down. People were talking shit about his second round but the dude was literally waiting for the doctor to call it. To be fair, the doctor should have probably stepped in during the end of the first round. Those were disgusting elbows. I am hoping for a Moicano 2025 title run. It’s deserved.

It means that they're exactly the same as those tranny faggots that have to switch to "female" to be able to win a match. Stay in your weight category or go above if you have the balls, but stop trying to downsize to lesser brackets doing gamey shit like dehydrating yourself just for a chance of fighting in weight categories below yours.
