As washed and one-note as he is, he has a nice resume an is still a good test for rising prospects like Lerone Murphy but I think we can all agree Jean can skip the gatekeeping part of the roster and go straight for someone around the top 5. Matching him up with Allen would be amazing imo.

Yeah, Allen is a kickass fight. I see Volk running through Movsar and Jean having a close fight with Allen but coming out on top. I wanna see some Fighting Nerd champions so bad, you boys don't even understand. And that isn't to say that I think Jean beats Volk, I don't, but still.

Borralho could make a strong case for getting the next title shot if Imavov is willing to fight him.

Prates flatlines guys in the stand-up, but his ground game is incredibly weak. And Belal still exists.

Ruffy likewise flatlines guys, but he's in an interesting position. By the time he gets into the top 10, it is very likely that some of Top 5 of LW will be gone, or beatable. If anyone from their team is going to be first to bring home a UFC championship, I think it's him.

Silva's greatest advantage is that he's a Lightweight pretending to be a Featherweight and he's a finisher. With Max and Ilja gone, there are now two open spots in the top 5 of the division. He could probably get one of those with a decisive win over the corpse of Brian Ortega, or if he's feeling real froggy, Arnold Allen.

Have we really seen his ground game be tested? He's knocked everyone out pretty quickly. He's a Fighting Nerd, and they all seem to have good takedown defence.

Not in the UFC. Early in his career he got subbed a few times. He has a black belt (who give him?) but no one has forced him into a ground war.

I believe Ian Garry is going to rerun his strategy against MVP, apply the dreaded OnlyFans Cage Clinch, and point his way to victory in KC

PFL's knockoff Bellator tournament this year looked kinda shit on paper with all the late replacements but the card last night was actually pretty good.

Fun main event between Kasanganay and Fabian Edwards.

Events in June should be better now than they're basically down to the semifinal fights and Champion superfights.

I'm glad that Kasanganay is getting big money, more than Buckley could ever hope for. Honestly, and I know this is an unpopular opinion, I don't think the famous Buckley KO is that cool, just like how I don't think that the Kevin Lee VS Gregor Gillespie KO is that great either. I never watch PFL because it's always on when I'm asleep, but I hope they crumble and fall, so many fighters are wasting away their good years by not being able to fight quality opponents.
 
BJ Penn has lost his fucking mind and is convinced his family has been murdered and replaced by impostors wearing ultra realistic disguises, some say it's CTE, others say it's meth (maybe it's both?). Regardless, he need really needs to get some help before he goes full Chris Benoit.

MMA Guru did a video on that a few weeks ago. Sad, but also pretty funny.

Doesn't matter if he thinks it's CTE, he uploaded a video to his Instagram today claiming that CTE isn't real, lmao.
 
apparently joe rogan said dana white is willing to leave the PPV model if netflix offers them a good enough deal

dana is willing to allow PPV cards to be watched with a regular netflix subscription

this may be one of the few times ill actually pay for UFC if this happens
 
Can someone sauce this gif? All I know that it's Mark Hunt at an ancient K1 tournament. I'm looking for a decent quality video so I can clip it.

Ive heard recently that Netflix isnt interested, I really hope thats not the case.

What I think the UFC doesnt realize is just how easy and accessible pirating has become. I remember the days of having to join private trackers to torrent everything, now I can kick back on my patio and stream the fights on a big screen while sipping a beer. The days of being hunched over your PC are done. The few times I have bought a PPV with ESPN+, the experience wasnt any better than streaming.
 
Rumor mill is real loud today.

Ilia says he's in camp for 317.
Oliviera is preparing 'the return.'
Islam is radio silent, but his last word was that he was waiting for the results of JDM v. Belal.

If it's a K-1 then Royce was only in two of them: Premium 2003 and Premium 2004.

Royce Gracie? Cool, thanks. I had no idea who the other guy was.
By the way, is there a decent source for old K-1 and MMA videos, preferably not recompressed 7 times?
