Cards look real nice. But not gonna get excited until fight night. The injury bug will probably hit a few of these fights.

 

So you guys think ugly honda dating an alleged wife beater will get swept under the rug? espn and fs1 were all hyping up her rant against floyd and him beating up women at the espy's. I bet no show will even mention it.

Wow, so THAT'S the reason Browne left Jackson/Winklejon to join Glendale Fighting Club 

http://www.bloodyelbow.com/2015/8/2...tic-violence-allegations-wife-affair-ufc-news

Many moving parts to this

1. Browne's ex, I want to believe her, but until the domestic violence thing gets proven her Tweets are to be taken with a grain of salt. Seems very salty at Ronda instead of Browne

2. If Browne is found guilty or it's proven that he's a wife beater, Ronda should take a huge L. All that **** she talks on Mayweather 

3. I honestly don't even care that much about anything, the story just brings out anyone who doesn't like Ronda 

I just want someone to ask her why does she keep going after Mayweather for domestic abuse when she's dating a guy that's currently being "investigated" by UFC for doing the same thing and claim that Mike Tyson is your idol?

I always thought it was a bad move for Browne to leave Jackson/Wink and go training at GFC with Edmond. His issue was his cardio. Look at all the fighters that train out of there. Except for Rousey, idk if any of them have won a fight in UFC. Even 2 of the members of the 4 horsewomen or whatever they're called, left and started training with Josh Barnett.

 

[g money 87]

Yea ppl jumping on this browne/rousey thing too early. Browne hasn't been convicted of anything, hell all we have to go on is a few tweets

Dec weekends is literally booked for the ufc on my schedule

 

[g money 87]

Mendes just went in on McGregor on ufc tonight

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Mendes and his excuses

"Full camp and I destroy that guy, everyone knows it"

"Short notice was a 110% reason I lost. None of those body kicks hurt at all"

"There's no way you can be in 5 round shape in 2 weeks"

Sounds like Tito 

Get past Frankie first 

 

[af1 1982]

When you speak about hypothetical situations you just come off as pathetic. And I like Mendes.

All Conor gotta do is send a pic of the (interim) belt and not say a damn word

 

[thehealthinspector]

3 months wouldnt have taught him not to let go of the mount

but i guess he was too gassed to maintain the position

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Chad was so gracious and happy after that loss too, he cashed in on the Conor golden ticket

I guess the money wore off or something, dude did a 180 on the situation. All of a sudden the kicks didn't hurt at all. All of a sudden it's "Jose will win for sure" (when initially he said it would be 50/50)

His camp is smart though, always angling to build a future title fight. Now it's "He better be man enough to give me a rematch and not run to 155" 

 

[blackcease]

Chad with a full camp gives Conor some work, I don't care what anybody says. Seems a little salty to backtrack but it's true. After that fight I'm way more confident that Aldo handles him too.

Mendes vs Edgar is a horribly stupid matchup.

And Ronda of course proving once again that she's the biggest f***** clown in MMA, which is not an easy task. I usually don't wish ill on fighters but I can't wait to see this goofy ***** get ****** up

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

People get in their feels major when it comes to Rousey 

 up in arms over what 

 let the B get her money and publicity. Every athlete does and says stuff that is pretty stupid, many break laws. By the criticism and negativity Rousey receives you would think she was some sort of criminal. Why these ****** so upset at her 

As far as Chad, "a little salty"? The dude is all the way buried to his head in salt. Dude should have been happy to get an unexpected huge pay day by fighting Conor. And now Dana is giving him yet ANOTHER chance to get right back into a title fight

I do agree that Chad on a full camp would give Conor all he can handle, but as an MMA fighter, making all those excuses makes you look really pathetic. Whether he is talking this crap to build momentum for a rematch with Conor or not, Mendes is the one being a clown. His words today are worse than anything Rousey has said or done to me

 

[RustyShackleford]

It would be low key hilarious if Conor pulls out the fight and they give the shot to Mendes over Edgar again.

I would sign up for a year of that struggle Fight Pass service if Dana where to do that for me

-Honda brings all the shade she gets upon herself. This is what happens when you try to market a unlikable person

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Yeah she does, that was my point, a lot of athletes say and do stupid **** everyday. People do stupid stuff every day. Human nature

My point was you would think she was some sort of criminal the way dudes go in on her. You had Black wishing ill will on her 

There are plenty bigger clowns in MMA than her 

 

[smedroc]

Chad just keeping **** bubbling.

If he beats Frankie he's number 1 contender again so he needs an angle to spin.

 

[blackcease]

Honda brings all the shade she gets upon herself. This is what happens when you try to market a unlikable person

Yup. Unlikeable, and she's a hypocrite that gets painted as a media darling. And where athletes that are full of **** tend to get called on it, she doesn't. I think alot of mma fans that follow the sport are realizing this. The media apparently doesn't tho.

Exaggerating. Jon Jones, Conor McGregor and Mayweather just to name a few have gotten every bit as much if not more hate than Rousey in their time. She's not an anomaly, she's just an unlikeable person. Not the first and won't be the last.

Whether he is talking this crap to build momentum for a rematch with Conor or not, Mendes is the one being a clown. His words today are worse than anything Rousey has said or done to me

Wow. I guess we gotta agree to disagree, I don't see any possible way that that one statement from Chad is worse than some of the bull**** that Ronda spews.

 

[shogun]

Yeah, the media is protecting honda's image because they want to promote and hype up female athletes now. She acts like a douche all the time but it gets ignored. Yesterday 2 shows talked about her stupid diss to floyd about how she makes more money per second than him but didn't talk about how she's dating travis browne.

 

[QU!K]

Just like they try to protect the image of abusive hope solo and her roast beef curtains

 

[shogun]

At least a few media people would talk about well done roastbeef's domestic violence and ask the team and her about it. honda probably looks like some shredded sliced turkey that needs to be thrown away.

 

[Chester McFloppy]

December can't get here soon enough. Can't wait to watch Aldo and Weidman get washed in dramatic fashion.

Dog, you just said Ronda was the biggest clown in MMA and that you wish ill will on her. I understand that other athletes get hate, I never said they didn't. My point was that Ronda gets a different degree of criticism and your post was a prime example of that

Stars get more criticism doe. That is universal in all sports

People aren't just picking on Honda because she is Honda, she is a star, the most marketed person in MMA. And so happens to be douche bag

Even the mainstream media pushes her. So yes, it invites another level of dislike/distaste

Plus she keeps giving folk ammo to shade her with.

Rust and Black, do you guys know that I have admitted that lol

I'm saying she gets a different degree of criticism. I myself am upset that she won't fight Cyborg but some of the stuff said about her just makes me wonder

 

[RustyShackleford]

Brah, I get what you're saying. I just don't agree

I think the amount of shade she gets is understandable, given the circumstance. Nothing really special

Yeah they, dis be me in front the TV when Frankie is fighting.....

So maybe I'm not the best person to judge what is a reasonable amount of criticism is
