Ngannou is a beast, no denying that, but he is dirty as fuck. These punches after his opponents are clearly knocked out are ridiculous. Does this shit all the time.

edit: I know in real time it's probably hard for someone to just back off and you shouldn't stop until he ded, maybe it's just that he hits so hard that it makes it look worse. Idk.

You fight until the ref stops you, it's not dirty to fight until the fight is called lmao

Wrestling might have worked out if Stipe hadn't been like 30lbs lighter. What the fuck was he thinking going into the fight that light?

Stipe always comes in light and it usually works well for him, it helps his movement.

He also tried to wrestle and took a few shots that fucked him up, being 30lbs heavier would not make a difference there. Ngannou just improved a lot, there's not much more you can say.

Ngannou has been training with Usman a lot on wrestling defence. He's no longer the 1 dimensional fighter he was when he first fought Stipe.

yeah the minute he blocked that takedown it was obvious it was only going to go one way.

That being said, I'd like to see Lewis v Nbongo purely for the slugfest. In my eyes both LHW and HW division are way too weak though. All about lightweight and welterweight now, also maybe bantamweight as I'd like to see Yan decimate Sterling if Aljo doesn't dodge the rematch like his coach did to GSP back in the day

Looked it up and apparently he didn't plan it. Weight started coming off before the 3rd fight with DC. Something to do with training and having a decent diet because he's stuck at home all the time last year.

The Ngannou - Lewis fight happened already and it was shit. That may have been because Ngannou was coming off the Stipe loss and Lewis had a back injury. Would either be a slugfest or two fighters worried about throwing.

Ngannou v Gane interests me. Gane doesn't move like a heavyweight and he can keep it uo for 5 rounds. Technical on the feet and on the ground.

He wants no part of Francis.

How much coke was he doing when he made that post?

Also, Till out of his fight with Vettori, broken collarbone. Kevin Holland (the idiot who laughed and talked to Khabib when losing) is in I believe.
 
So Adriano Moraes just finished Demetrious Johnson on tonight's ONE card. Moraes has always been a solid flyweight so it's kind of cool to see him pick up a big victory like this. But to be fair, One's flyweight division is at 135 now, I believe and DJ definitely isn't going to be bringing any power there.

Still want to see Horiguchi avenge his loss in RIZIN eventually.

Another 25 min wrestlefuck for Kevin Holland. Man has gone from a journeyman with wins in 2020 to taking two Ls in like 3 weeks, all because his takedown defence and wrestling basics is non existent.
 
New story - Trilogy fight is ""off"".
46fkgjk0drs61.jpg
Context. Turns out old Irish here may not have donated to Poirier's charity after he said he would multiple times in the lead up to the fight. Porier says his team ghosted him when he brought it up, McGregor says he intended to and asked what his sizeable amount of money was going to be used for and not going straight to DP's pocket, didn't get a reply and therefore didn't send it. This back and forth with everyone involved led to the above.

It's both incredibly gay and entertaining at the same time. Probably as intended to hype the fight up.

Yeah, I'm not buying it one bit. Connor also said in the same tweet chain I think that he was going to make Dustin pay for what he's saying. Just more mind games from Mac. To be honest I'm more surprised at the fact this is getting as much traction as it is, but I get it.

Neither am I, but it is entertaining to watch.

Conor McGregor vs. Dustin Poirier 3: Is the fight still on?

Dustin Poirier has apologised for calling out McGregor and the fight is 100% back on.

Looks like the tomato got Dustin to apologize for hurting his boyfriend's feelings

Reddit was useful for once in finding out that Dustin's charity was basically him, his wife and a friend running the charity, with his wife as the treasurer. Not listed on any official capacity or have any financials on the site.

Basically, it's run by a big, dumb, good hearted guy who doesn't think ring fencing money is important. Highly reliant on him being good on his word and not abusing access to funds (which, by all accounts he doesn't).

Honestly as bad as that sounds I'd rather a small organization like Dustin's where people can be held accountable than a large charity that has so many layers of bureaucracy your money gets lost. If he ever goes back on his promises at least he'll be directly held responsible for it.
 
Bellator is starting to make some pretty big moves business wise since the move to Showtime.

*The LHWGP has commenced with a dominant performance from Bader, Nemkov/Davis & Corey Anderson's fight tomorrow night, and the very intriguing Rumble/Romero fight coming up

*The Patrico Pitbull/AJ McKee FWGP Final, which could legit be the best fight at featherweight all year in the entire sport.

*Douglas Lima putting his title on the line against the undefeated Amosov in June. Co-main event rumored to be a MW title fight between Mousasi and Anatoly Tokov, who finally gets the major step up in competition he deserves.

*Rich Chou stepping down from his matchmaking position, which hopefully cuts down on all the lame mismatches and squashes that he specialized in dating back to Strikeforce.

I haven't been this interested in Bellator since the Bjorn Rebney days, to be honest.
 
It seems Askren is paid $500,000 without ppv bonus, it's most likely the biggest payday in his entire career. It makes sense he agreed to box even though he retire due to pretty serious split butthole syndrome or something.

I just hope he annoys the shit out of that youtuber with super boring endless clinching hell. Maybe that youtuber eventually gasses out and retire due to exhaustion🌈

Rizin is already good but they are pretty lacking in heavier weight classes, so it's nice Bellator is finally figuring things out.

Bellator MUST cut Big John though, dude is so anti-hype and distracting. Maybe not as bad as recent Joe"OHHHH!! He's HURT!! (no he isn't, shut up)" Rogan but still. They must bring back Jimmy Smith or Frank Shamrock, then it's 100% legit.

I'm happy for him but it really shows how bad Dana is screwing fighters over. It's a slap in the face to all the guys putting their life on the line fighting killers that someone can make 500k pre PPV fighting some retard youtuber.
