I always think its a bit disingenuous with some of his team mates. Surely they all knew what he was up to. Didn't Cody basically admit as much when they fought?
Cody did say that.
I've always found him to be neutral to mildly likeable, especially when he fought Cody, who was seen as a bit of a villain back then.
Stylistically, it would also be a tricky fight for Islam - one that Ali would want to avoid for fear of derailing Islam's rise. Personally, I would like to see Islam v Tony or Islam v Beneil. As either fight would answer more questions on Islam and also write the narrative for the other two if they won.
I don't mind him, I always like a troll but I meant that people he knows in real life all hate him. Cody was the villain in their fight but would be the hero of they fought again for sure
I always thought they wanted Cody to be the likeable one he's just that stupid it didn't work. At the time he was a big name and entertaining fighter. The immediate rematch was undeserved and I think UFC just wanted the belt on him.
Yeah it looked like the UFC were about to go all in on Cody but then his lack of a brain slipped him back to where he belonged. His defeat of Cruz was a thing of beauty but I think that's where he peaked.
Haha yeah definitely. Alpha Male fought cruz that many times they finally had a master plan just nothing to follow it!
A masterful performance. Etched into my memory that one. Especially as I was desperate for Dom to win.
Ditto
Love how the snake leans into his villain profile. He's living the life Colby is pretending to live in. I actually want him to win the belt again just for the meltdowns

Probably the best way to be really...it must be pretty frustrating for him cos he'll obviously know others are on it (who haven't been proven to be) and he gets all the stick but he handles it pretty well in all honesty, admits to cheating and doesn't blame anyone else.
I hope he wins to be honest, he's probably the best fighter to watch in that division and at his age only has a few more fights left I'd guess. If he wins he gets Sterling/Yan which will be a great fight, if he loses he either retires or fights lesser opponents which isn't half as interesting.

Similar to Jones? Just gave up pretending to be what they are not and lean into it.
It's truly better that way I reckon. One thing I hate more than a scumbag is a fake.
Yeah same. Especially when it's so obvious. Just embrace it!
PVZ about to fight Rachel Asstovich on BKFC.
PVZ got beat up, but nothing too brutal.

Quite an early card this time around.
Yeah not used to it, its starts at 10pm for me so that's nice, main fight at 1am though. Usually starts at 4am.
Remember guys, don’t post streams or stream requests and definitely don’t PM any to me.
What a performance by Brendan Allen. Put a beating on a tough as nails, Soriano.
Good ending to the prelims. Now to the main card.

Yep great fight.
Allen looked much cleaner from the start.

DC shamelessly trying to got more free stuff from Dr Pepper
Ufff That's how you start a main card.
I don't see how Barber got that win. I thought Maverick won that easily.
When's drug cheat fighting?
Daylight robbery.
After 2 more fights.
The Damage!! Always fun to watch.
As his name suggests he takes far too much
He was barely cognitive on the stool during the round and now he is somehow back in the fight like a zombie
It can’t be good for his health but he’s always fun
What a comeback! Love me some The Damage!
In the end, it was Minner who ended up with the scrambled brain.
Another crazy fight
I was fairly annoyed at the end if the 1st that the ref didn’t stop it and that Paiva’s corner didn’t consider throwing it in
But he comes back and takes the 2nd and almost finishes him.

Gonna be a draw
Should have been a draw
That 1st was a 10-8 surely

Definitely should have been a draw. How the first round wasn't 10-8 for two judges is wild. But as Dana says never leave it in their hands and I think if Phillips was more composed then he would have finished Paiva 1st round.
