Oh he seems to be a really good prospect- hasn’t been challenged much yet- but this is more so Brundage sucking lol

He slammed the last kid he thought through the mat but something tells me he won’t do that to Nickal. Fight before he “won” by getting dominated in wrestling and hit with an illegal knee

Noted lol. Still, a good one sided fight isn't always the worst thing to watch hehe.

It’s definitely still a step up for Bo, he’s just such a special athlete that I don’t think it will matter much until he starts fights ranked guys

They barely put any MMA fights on these days and with all the financial rumors surrounding One I'm not surprised.

Random information of the day...

Referees with the most UFC assignments for 2023:

1- Mark Smith 65
2- Herb Dean 57
3- Marc Goddard 56
4- Jason Herzog 54
5- Chris Tognoni 53
6- Keith Peterson 46
7- Kerry Hatley 26
8- Big Dan 22
9- Jacob Montalvo 13

First time Mark Smith has led the group in fights.

To me you can't give Goddard or Herzog enough assignments I rarely find myself having any issues with them.

There’s a new leading “third man” in the UFC, who oversaw more fights than any other referee.

f*** you Chris Tognoni and Jacob Montalvo!

I’d rather Nate vs Conor but Mcgregor on 300 would be awesome

 

[deleted user]

I wonder if McGregor actually has it in him to show well. The guy's admitted pretty freely that he's partying.. a lot. I dunno. I just think it's a gimmick to make money and stroke his own ego. He's not serious about the fight game anymore. The moment I felt that way about him.. I no longer want any of his nonsense.

Lots of content on the future of One today...

Some reading if you're interested:

The Tragedy Of ONE's Hubris

ONE Championship seems to be facing financial challenges going into 2024. The more you examine ONE's story, the more unsure their future seems.

ONE Championship may have to fight harder for its next cheque from Qatar

In 2021, a tie-up with the MMA promoter made sense for Qatar. The equations are not the same now.

And they lost a fighter to PFL today

Looking around and I'm hearing Alex Pereira in many people's "Fighter of the Year" mix. What am I missing here? Gets knocked out by Adesanya, squeaks out a split decision v Jan, and then knocks out Jiri. I mean that's a good year but he's not even close to being in the mix for something like this when you get knocked out like that.

Why are some MMA fans so mad about Nina blowing up this year? I especially don’t understand why people compare her to actual journalists like Ariel or Okamoto, she’s a content creator, not a journalist. Don’t really care for her content but people going on tangents about how she’s what’s wrong with MMA “journalism” despite not even being or claiming to be a journalist makes no sense to me

Who?

Who?

She's an ex-model who puts out tik-tok type UFC content. Her stuff is honestly awful but so is most mma stuff and at least she's hot.

Archuleta missed by 6 pounds (claims he’s sick), been stripped of his belt. Kai accepted to fight him anyways but a rehydration clause has been added to where the fight will be off if Archuleta can’t make 150 lb an hour before the fight

Because people just want to bitch about everything. It's not journalism she's putting out silly interviews with fighters content is king these days... I only see stuff when the UFC promotes it on their social media but even then I just scroll right past it. Don't like like it don't watch it's pretty simple lol it's not for me but it is for others so whatever helps fighters get more exposure I guess is a good thing.

McGregor vs Chandler on June 29th

 

[Bunk Moreland]

Surprised it's not 300 but international fight week makes sense...

Sounds like Leon vs Belal will be on 300:

 

[m9]

McGregor vs Chandler on June 29th

Conor says it's at 185lb, which would be ridiculous.

Also report out there is Edwards/Belal at 300. I'm fine with that, assuming it's the co-main at best.
