You think the UFC resigns him to a 1 fight contract?

I doubt it because of all of the brain stuff but I wouldn’t mind them actually doing the cowboy fight

crazy that Fabia had power of attorney

Souza no longer on UFC roster after broken arm

As expected

I just watched Chandler and Dariush's interviews with Okamoto. Chandler is brutal, actually reminds me of a hockey player just throwing out one cliche after another. What was interesting with Dariush's interview is Okamoto asked him if Tony felt dangerous at all in the octagon compared with his other opponents and Dariush thought about it for a second and said no. He wasn't even trying to trash talk Tony and actually looked like he was reluctant to say it. Said he was surprised at how little Tony tried to get up in a lot of those moments on the ground.

The clichés with Chandler drive me crazy as well. I don't love fighter interviews to begin with, but he makes them unlistenable.

I think I heard someone describe it as "toxic positivity" and yeah, it's definitely not for me.

Toxic positivity with Dana White privilege

Looks like Holland is going to train with DC/Deron Winn (judging by his insta)

I’ll never get over that Elkins tattoo

I somehow find Daniel Rodriguez's tattoo even worse. Who gets a massive tattoo of their own year of birth?

I can look at Loureda's IG as long as anyone, but man she's a tough watch in the cage. Her striking is so slow and her fight IQ is awful.

could just be a big Mets fan

Cyborg just caught Smith flush with a bomb at the end of round 2 and Smith ate it, I’m wildly impressed by her durability and not at all impressed with her actual ability

Yeah she was basically a punching bad in there.

Kind of a trash Bellator card to be honest.

yeah worst they’ve put together in awhile imo. I only caught the last couple of fights but I looked at the rest of the card and was very underwhelmed. Looked like Saad Awad had a nice win

Hopefully a commission doesn’t let Tyler King fight anymore


Mr. Van Zant staying undefeated against Leon Edwards brother was a nice touch, even though the fight was largely boring

I just saw clips this morning. She was getting beat up in the clinch against the fence, finally separates, and then throws the slowest spinning back kick or wheel kick I've ever seen and immediately ends up back in the clinch or taken down.

Eventually, one of these IG fighters will prove to be legit, but I don't think she's gonna be the one. Dern is probably the closest at the moment, but I've still got big questions about her overall athleticism and striking when it comes to MMA. She could end up winning any fight that ends up on the ground, but you need more than that in today's MMA.

Her corner was basically yelling at her the entire time to stop being stupid and she just didn't listen.

I'm sure Bellator can find some 1-3 soccer mom to throw in there with her again, but she has no future in this sport. At all.

Makes sense. I think that's the fight I was thinking after Rodriguez's win.

Fascinating fight
