Let's face it, after his last fight, his credibility is shot. He went out like a pussy cat against Khabib so all that hype before the fight was for nothing. He's trying to be as controversial as he can be to hype up another fight but people now realise he's nothing like the monster he was two and a half years ago, in fact he's a pale shadow of what he was. But he's still got a big gob and he still knows howto trash talk like nobody else. Basicaly, all mouth and hype, and not too much else these days.

He also wasn’t much of a monster at any point really. He was a fighter who enjoyed big physical advantages due to weight draining. It’s no coincidence his form tailed off once he started fighting guys his own size.
He’s a great example of today’s yoof culture unfortunately. They need far better role models than this prick. Shallow and fake. Quits when the going gets tough too.

Good card tonight. Looking forward to watching perry v cerrone.

I see floyd has pussied out of his match. Probably saw the guy he was going to fight is no joke and backed out.

What an unbelievable fight Yair Rodrigues v The Korean Zombie. It was one of those which will always stand out in my memory. It was an absolute war, finishing in a 4min.59 secs knockout in the fifth round. If anyone missed it, I urge you to seek it out and I promise you, you'll feel the same as me. One of the all time great fights. Respect to both guys, that was bloody awesome.

Nick Diaz vs Masvidal has been made for March 2nd. Diaz has been on sidelines carping about the quality of fighters that woodley fights, yet he returns to fight a 9th ranked fighter.

Shame I won't be able to see it. I'm viewing on BT Sport right now via Virgin Media, but after Xmas Eleven Sports have the sole rights to broadcast UFC, so fuck that.

I was looking forward to watching the Whittaker v Gastellum fight too at the end of the UFC 28 series (the two Ultimate Fighter coaches) but I doubt if I'll be able to watch that either if it goes off after Xmas. Damn. That's going to be a crackerjack.

What a brilliant main event we've got lined up this Saturday/Sunday morning folks. Max Holloway v Brian Ortega. The original fight was postponed because Holloway had some concussion issues, but this is going to be an absolute corker, and I don't know which way to call it.

Wow max put a beating on ortega. That 4th round was nasty. Ortega came back in the third but max's cardio and superior hands destroyed him.

Holloway v Ortega was a real beating. Max is a beast. He just keeps coming at you like some sort of crazy man, punching and kicking. His cardio is off the scale.

Incidentally, there were some ads saying BT Sport had won a new contract to show UFC fights for another season (whatever the fuck that means). Does anyone know what this means for all of us who don't subscribe to Eleven Sports?

:unsure:

Surprised there have been no posts here yet. Honestly the ufc is a complete joke. I used to try and defend them but this just embarrassing.

...er, sorry my friend, I'm not sure what you're referring to. Maybe I'm being particularly thick today but could you enlighten me?
