Yeah, I don't 'like' it, but I don't really have a problem with the taunting after all the shit Askren talks. If someone does that to say Maia or Wonderboy or Holloway or someone like that who's almost always respectful, then it would bug me. But when you talk shit, you're inviting it.
Besides, it might not be a good look, but it's not really hurting anybody. The punches after he was knocked stiff were a bigger problem to me, but that's part of the sport.

Lasted ? Askren won his first fight...
Francis Ngannou has only lasted 1:37 in his last two fights, which is about 4.5 times shorter than CM Punk

People actually like Masvidal? The guy is the definition of a knuckledragger. Can't wait to see him get whooped by the top fighters of the division.

, the poster even got the time wrong, CM Punk's 2nd fight lasted 15 mins, so its 15 + 2:14

Askren talked a lot before the fight so like he said, he probably deserved it. Taunting after a KO is usually in bad taste but Askren is also the guy who went on twitter to mock Till after his brutal loss to Masvidal. Speaking of which, now seems like a good time to make the Askren vs. Till fight if Till plans on staying at 170.

Askren v Maia is a fight that I've wanted to see for awhile, so this could be good time for that.

Dana said he thought Jones easily won the fight and no rematch was needed. Maybe if he rewatched the fight and knew how bad Santos was hurt that might change things.
It's too far away to figure out, but I think we could see a rematch eventually.
The other reason he might not want a rematch is that the fight sucked. Or he doesn't want to risk his star losing to a Brazilian that 90% of fans don't know.

For a Jones fight, it was actually fairly entertaining
Usually Jones just dominates his opponent, but that wasn't the case here
Every judge gave Santos at least 2 rounds, so with a better 5th round he could've very well left with the title
White was dismissive of a rematch at the post fight press conference before it was learned the extent of the knee injury

Completely disagree. It was a dreadful fight between a hesitant champ getting poor advice from his corner and an injured opponent just trying to survive. Close fight doesn't mean a good fight. It was compelling because of the implications but that's about it.

Either that or your buddy is a complete *****??
It's funny how everyone's body is so different and also how adrenaline works. I was standing next to a guy who had the same injuries as Santos from football and he iced his knee for an hour and then drove home/hospital.
For Santos to keep fighting vs anyone much less Jon Jones is pretty impressive.

I don't think he won (at least based on initial viewing) but I think it's incredible that his corner thought they had easily won 3 rounds and he could coast. Embarrassing mistake that could have been very costly.

So you're going to assault someone with a weapon(because let's be serious, you're not doing shit to a professional fighter in hand to hand combat) because they embarrassed a friend of yours after they probably had it coming? Yea, ok, grow some thicker skin.
You guys are responding to a dude whose username is meant to be read as "big daddy cool" haha. I think that says it all.

He's also one of the most knowledgeable posters here, especially when it comes to steroids/PED stuff. Who cares what someone's username is?
I don't really care about this particular discussion but I don't see what people are worked up about. Lots of people think Masvidal crossed the line, and you can bet if that was a different guy with a different corner being clowned like that you would have seen a full-out brawl.
I was fine with what Masvidal did given the situation, but I also understand why someone else might react differently.

As far as a person, Masvidal is straight trash. Always has been. But a lot of MMA fighters are the exact same way.
But he's a damn good, and an entertaining fighter.
