Well, I had fun watching the fights. Even Rousey, I love me that classic Judo style of just taking someone down and ripping an arm off.
There was good action, no real upsets but it wasn’t exactly the most even competition to begin with, and I wonder what comes next in this odd little market.
The thing is, it wasn't a competition, none of the three main figths of this netflix card were, for fucks sakes, Carano haven't fought in almost 20 years, of course she would look like it.
This was a novelty act, using famous names from the past to prop up a product that doesn't really have much in term of actually delivering a compeling sportsmanship.
Don't get me wrong, novelty acts have a place in mma, you could argue that is how the thing was born, but this sort of smoke and mirrors Jake Paul has put up here doesn't have legs to go far. Not to mention that none of the figthers involved in this event will go on to invest their name and time to grow a competitor to the UFC, they got their bag and they are going to bounce.
Would not bet that McGregor makes it to the fight. That is a man who feels like fighting and then not.
More like his handlers.
Last time Mcgregor backed away from a fight, it was just days prior and before that he didn't show up for press event.
The excuse was that he broke one of his toes, but the reality was that Conor just couldn't commit to a training camp due being a erratic junkie.
The people behind Mcgregor tried to see how far they could've kick down the can, but when came the time, they pulled out, because if Mcgregor made to the fight it would be the most embarrassing beating in the UFC's history, and that would hurt their cash cow and in turn, themselves.
