The MMA Thread: DON'T ASK 4 STREAMS & NO GIFS- Cannonier, Imavov, Reyes, Rosas on NOW

[lncognegro]

Du Plessis and Imavov are the only 2 fighters I see climbing ranks and making noise in the top 10.

Du plessis about to get his body snatched by Chris Curtis

 

[lncognegro]

Listening to Josh and Big John join the JRE Defense Force. I have no issue with their speaking up for their friend. But I have an issue when a certain demographic says someone isn't racist...

Sometimes it's conscious and sometimes it's subconscious.

If one half way paid attention, you'd recognize the clues of a closeted racist in Rogan. Just look at the company he keeps. He even has the token "but my best friend is black (Chappelle)" thing going. I've been saying it for 15 years. It's funny that he'd only get denounced for it now, interesting timing 4 sure.

Hope so. This Chris Curtis run has been one of my favorite stories to watch. Been a long time coming, he should've been in the UFC a while ago.

I’ve seen the clips before. So did India. But our voices are always muted. It just so happened that she jumped on a wave and Spotify was trying to not affect stocks and bottom line. My issue is just two white men telling me he’s not racist and caping for him hard. I get the loyalty part. But please do us a favor stick to kicks, concussions, and leg breaks.

Not surprised by Thompson and McCarthy capin for Joe. Been looking at them sideways ever since they were criticizing the George Floyd protests. For weeks they would call them riots and only talked about the "looting" and damages it did. Then after January 6 happened, it was just another day for them. Didn't hear one word about it. Big John probably saw some of his old LAPD buddies out there.

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

They’re always leaning into that ****. I hate when they do that

Josh is always crying about how bad it is to be in California now blah blah blah I want to move to Tennessee blah blah blah

Also they’re starting to lack in knowing who the future ufc prospects are

First they failed to preview Ian Garry when he made his debut and this week they failed to even mention rakhmanov on their preview smh

[Vincent Van Goat]

You know what's kinda crazy to think about?

Sean Strickland ever getting a title shot (assuming against Izzy) would mean Nicksick would have to game plan against Francis and Usman's Nigerian bro

That would be an interesting dynamic

Ain't no time when they're too busy talking about how their 3-0 regional fighter or some dude named Big Tuna are the future.

 

[jewseejay]

Big John pretends to be a stand up guy but tells on himself ALOT. Dude said Joes a comic and thats becoming impossible because you cant jusy say what u want. Damned if you do/dont kinda thing.

Lol nah John theres thousands of white comics that can be funny and have real conversations without sayin "N" 57 times.

I also dont believe Rogan is racist. I get how all his conservatibe adjacent view points would lead you there but 10 years ago when I listenend to him hed spend weeks on the road with Corey Holcolmb or some other young black comic. I think he jus realized we dont think hes that funny n he started catering to his target demo

White dudes 18-50

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Division is in good hands

Keep building slow rakhmonov, no rush

“It’s just annoying, getting reminded of a certain individual all the time,” he said. “I’m saying wait, we’ll see when the time comes. He will win some fights, I will win some fights. And then we’ll meet. Maybe our fight will be title bout at that point.”

“I don’t know, I think it’s a good fight for Chimaev [against Burns],” Shavkat said. “It’s a necessary one for him, because he wants to get to the top fast. If Chimaev wins, he gets there. If Burns wins, he’s still in kind of a losing position.”

He boxes too

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

I have a feeling this week is going to be hella dramatic (mostly on Izzy's side lol). Izzy gonna be sayin a whole lot

The Thursday presser should be calmer by then but I'm sure it'll be some type of shenanigans there too

 

[atransta]

Tui dude is funny

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

If you're usually annoyed by Izzy, this interview will def annoy you lol

Talks about how Jan never put him in danger, how Whittaker is a bad guy and he has dirt on him but won't say it on camera and how he cut dead weight from his life to stop being "bored". He's been "bored" with Jan and Vetorri

 

[spiderjericho]

Poor Leon. Jeez. Hopefully, Khamzat doesn’t steal his title shot lol.

And we all missed the Anime fanboy, masterful kick boxing and visualizing Izzy. Not the constant burping, zesty and fancy Izzy.

 

[Rumble]

The only TUF I ever watched was the Ronda/Miesha one.

Crazy how Julianna won that and is the champ and we circle back and she’s one of the head liners for the show.

You gotta watch season 10. Beat season by far.

 

[spiderjericho]

So is Joe going to be in Africa Aka Houston this Saturday?

I wish I could complain about his commentary and the way he misinforms the audience with his he’s hurt, ridiculous narratives and makes DC pander to him.

10 is good but I'd say season 5 was the best I've seen. It has many guys that had long UFC careers like Nate Diaz, Joe Lauzon, Gray Maynard and Cole Miller among others. BJ Penn had many funny moments in this season too, he kicks a guy off his own team lol.

"He rocked him" "oooooohhhhh" then a few moments later "he seems to be fully recovered". His commentary has gotten worse over the years but it seems he'll have the job as long as he wants it since he's so close with Dana and the UFC brass.

Andy Wang is a legend.

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Keep it going AJ, if it's in May I might have to be there in person again

"A date in May is also a possibility for the bout, sources close to the situation told MMA Fighting’s Guilherme Cruz, but regardless, McKee vs. Freire 2 is a matchup Bellator officials have keyed in on for the spring."

He‘s the most unlikable star since Conor McGregor imo.

Only Conor was better on the mic.

I never liked Conor at all, but he was good at promotion.

Izzy is more on the level of a Colby Covington.

…cocky and obnoxious .
