Is Brock still fighting? That is hilarious. Sad but hilarious.

Dear UFC please keep him.

UFC may as well just be pro-wrestling. The only thing that draws is the dickheads who act like they're Stone Cold Steve Austin anyways.

Somebody please stop this from happening.

UFC 229. October 6. The King is back. Khabib should have stayed on the bus.

Henry Cejudo looked superb last night. Best 125lb fight in UFC history by a mile. Can debate the decision for sure, it was razor thin, but man Cejudo has improved so much.

As for TJ - I don’t think we’ve ever seen an MMA fighter as complete as TJ Dillashaw. Either side of the close SD loss to Cruz he’s been nothing short of spectacular. He may well end up the greatest of all time at this rate, he is good everywhere and he’s not just beating guys, he’s running through them; he literally has everything. Take nothing away from Cody Garbrandt however - he is one of the best pure athletes we have ever seen in MMA. His speed, agility and reflexes are almost un-matched in the UFC other than possibly Jon Jones. A lot of people have been talking about Cody saying he has poor fight IQ - I partly disagree, in every fight bar the TJ fights Cody has shown very good fight IQ - particularly the Dominick Cruz fight where he formulated and stuck to his gameplan perfectly. Cody's problem is his inability to control his emotions. For that reason - I don't think he ever beats TJ.

Fantastic card.

Woodley was spectacular.

Karolina's too cute to die like that.

I know. That hurt. Love me some Karolina.

Sucks for Till but man Woodley looked ****ing good. Can't wait to see him wreck Colby.

 

[Mike5181]

I'm just waiting for UFC 229. McGregor vs. Khabib, Ferguson vs. Pettis. Oh boy.

 

[King Pietersen]

229 and 230 look insane. Excited to hear the main-event plans for 230 as well. DC kept very quiet when Rogan and Anik were saying they knew something we didn't during the 228 broadcast. DC-Jones 3? DC-Bork?

 

[Mike5181]

Costa vs. Romero on 230 as well. Talk about juicy.

Costa vs. Romero on 230 as well. Talk about juicy.

Was so excited for that fight but not sure it's actually happening on 230. Yoel said he needed 4-5 months to rehab an injury back in August so wouldn't be ready. Think it'll happen, just not at 230. So many other exciting fights coming up though:

Manuwa vs Santos
El Cucuy vs Pettis
Sugar Sean's return
Oezdemir vs Smith
Poirier vs Diaz
Brunson vs Adesanya
Rockhold vs Weidman

and then the big one Khabib vs Conor - ridiculously excited for the next 2 months of fights.

 

[Mike5181]

Tony Ferguson turning up to the weigh-in staredown with ankle weights on is hilarious. So hyped for tomorrow.

 

[duffer]

I've defended this sport against a lot of haters for a very long time, but I can't defend that.

The fallout from this is gonna be huge.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Bunch of thugs

 

[duffer]

Completely ****ed up ****. Didn't think it was possible to look like a bigger cunny than Conor, but there you go.

 

[Niall]

That was lunacy at the end, Khabib probably in all sorts of bother after that.

Domination though before that.

 

[Spikey]

so rematch in like april yeah?

 

[Mike5181]

I chose the craziest event to watch with my parents, lmao.
