Triple post,

Ben Askren vs Jake Paul April 17th. Casuals are having a field day.

 

Ben needs to retire from the internet if he loses that one.

(he should retire from the internet anyways imo)

 

He openly talked online about how it would be his biggest payday and wouldn’t care if he lost, so I think he feels nothing about a lost to Paul. But, sadly if he does lose it will be this clown’s stepping stone to continue calling out other mma fighters. So it’s completely unsurprising he’d pick Askren who’s known solely for grappling.

 

he probably will lose

don't get why he's actually doing it. he is terrible at striking

 

well, there's my answer

not that I agree with his logic

 

Look at this fucking division

 

Call me crazy but I actually think RDA could make another run for the title. The left side of the bracket would be pretty tough for him, but I think he could put together something solid if Khabib is out of the picture.

 

The craziest part is that Khabib said part of the reason he retired is because no one in the division is close to his level. And it’s true haha

 

Conor/RDA would interest me.

 

Stephen A Smith asked Dana to mention some upcoming stars and went straight to Holland. Mentioned how many times he fought last year. Etc.


might get a rocket strapped to his ass

 

hopefully he's realizing he needs to start building some new superstars

 

So far I really like Kevin Holland. Starched that asshole Buckley and has looked amazing since. Personality is confident but funny. Kinda reminds me of Rampage a bit. Been meaning to go back and watch his loss to Thiago Santos I don’t remember seeing that fight.

 

UFC 258 card is rather thin outside of main event. At least next weeks fight night is stacked.

 

Couple of ok fights but yeah, it ain’t gonna sell well. I’m sure Jorge will chime in once the numbers come out haha

 

Next week’s card is so good. Michael Johnson vs Clay Guida on the prelims is crazy to me haha. But really mostly excited to watch Dariush, Sandhagen and Reem.

 

Then after I’m down to fast forward to Feb. 27th for Reyes vs Prochazka.

 

Rozenstruik/Gane headlining that card too now

 

Wonder if that means Reyes/Procuazka got postponed or something.

 

Yep, just saw it’s confirmed this morning Reyes pulled out citing injury. That man definitely was not ready for his third straight loss lol.

 

Vick lost by TKO again hahahaha

 

GSP and Khabib actually happening?

 

Unless GSP announces it himself, I don’t buy it. It’s beneficial for Khabib more than anyone. He’s older, he doesn’t need to prove anything, and he’s clearly the most level headed fighter to ever grace the octagon. Unless he truly thinks he’s still got it in him to win, I don’t see him taking the fight.

 

Announced his retirement yesterday or the day before. Suffered a serious broken orbital bone and recognized the toll it’s taking on his loved ones to see him continue to be beaten badly. Smart man.
