Debut UFC Fight Night on ESPN+ is a Record-Setting Night - ESPN MediaZone U.S.

 

UFC 220 was a year ago today. Here’s the best fan made poster of all time

 

Do your gems start over if you have a streak, lost belt and the regain it?

 

Joe hahahaha

 

Great win by Cejudo, sure didn't think the stoppage was early. Also, don't need to see the rematch right away at 135, unless they shutter the 125 division.

The Hardy fight was just bad MMA, but I didn't think the knee was done intentionally, dude just doesn't have experience.

Gillespie looking like Jon Fitch 2.0 and I love it.

Cowboy and Conor would be fun and is logical for both guys at this point.

Thought ESPN did a decent to good job. Didn't hear a lot from Stephen A, but when I did, he at least acknowledged that he doesn't know a whole lot about MMA, so it is what it is.

 

Here's a good breakdown of the stoppage on Saturday.

 

Somebody show TJ this please and thank you. This actually explained it to me better than how I had processed it and is super accurate.

 

Costa vs Romero scheduled as the main event for UFC Miami on April 27th

Ultimate encaminha Borrachinha x Yoel Romero para luta principal no UFC Miami, em abril

 

Costa v Romero is such a roided out matchup lol

 

Biggest roid matchup since Brock/Ubereem

 

Are they both proven users? I’ve known about Romero but not Costa yet.

 

I don’t think Costa has ever popped. As far as I know anyway.

Certainly fails the eye test though lmao

 

The man looks like a sculpture come to life.

 

Coach: Daniel Cormier’s retirement plan will be ‘prolonged,’ won’t return to light heavyweight

 

Justin Willis? He’ll need to do better than his last fight against Hunt

 

Honestly, I wish DC would retire now and be done with it. I guess with Brock seemingly getting closer to definite he can afford to wait for him.

 

“CSAC will not take disciplinary action against Jones, executive officer Andy Foster said. This is the same, long-term M3 metabolite that Jones was suspended 15 months for stemming from a July 2017 sample collection in relation to UFC 214, Foster said. Foster said subsequent drug tests on Jones done by VADA, UFC partner USADA, and the commission have come back clean since the in-competition abnormal reading.”

 

I'll be at UFC Philly! I've been waiting for the UFC to finally come back to my city. This is gonna be a sick fight too.

 

Hope Cerrone smokes him.

 

I don’t think he’ll beat Conor, but I do expect an amazing fight. I’m beyond happy Conor is game for this fight to happen, given it’s allowed to after their hearing.

 

Khabib Nurmagomedov: I attacked Dillon Danis at UFC 229 because John Kavanagh ‘can’t fight me’

So now that Khabib admitted the Danis thing was a lie to make up a fake motivation for him acting like a child and a neanderthal after his fight, let’s suspend this fucker and strip him. I love how he’s talking like this is a proper validation for the damages caused. This is a clear cut statement that shows it was premeditated. He had thought about attacking his team and jumping them beforehand, not in the heat of the moment. He even decided who it would be that he’d go after based on age.

Fuck this guy. I don’t care about his record or his boxing match with Floyd. Nobody has ever done anything remotely as disrespectful or unsportsmanlike as this since Semtex, and you all know he got a life ban.

 

Just give everyone their slap on the wrist and move on. That Nevada still hasn't figured this out is crazy.

 

Khabib sat down with some Russian media the other day and said he was told to expect a 9-12 month ban.

It's still wild they haven't finished this though.
