The MMA thread

Only just tuned in, how are you scoring it?
I had Hughes 2-1 up before that head clash, the wrestling from Usman after that might've stolen round 4, 5 was back and forth too. I'd go Hughes but who knows.
 
Harsh for Hughes, after the first round he seemed to have the momentum in the fight and Usman tired quite severely. That head clash might have won the fight for Usman, it gave him the time to recover enough to lean on his wrestling for that last round and a half, and even then he didn't do much damage or threaten subs so I think he's got away with that one. Very competitive fight.
 
Feel sick for Paul Hughes.

I thought he edged it. Showed phenomenal wrestling and heart as always. Genuinely think Usman was looking for a way out at one point. That's going to be a hard one to take.

He needs to push for a rematch. Inexperience cost him the fight in my opinion.

Lost composure at the most important point of the fight and got taken down way too easily. If he kept the fight standing, he wins.

He deserves it. Yeah, he definitely lost a bit of concentration for a moment and it cost him with that takedown.

Seen Usman said Hughes will need two, three or four fights before a rematch. That's a man who knows he's met his match. Hughes will take the rematch.

I don't really see what other options he has. Rabadanov is his team mate, both Patricio Pitbull and Aaron Pico are free agents, Primus and McKee both coming off losses - who else is there? It has to be the rematch next.
 
Midfield sorted.



Ps. How many Ibragimovs? :o

McGregor continuing to sink lower and lower.

On the plus side, a big win for Paul Hughes now that he can rid himself of any association with that cnut.

I reckon it's more likely Conor ends up dead this year than gets back in the octagon.
 
Bryce Mitchell, what a completely fecking moron that dude is.

If the UFC aren't gonna cut him - which they won't - book him against Josh Emmett again.

Had to look up what he'd done and holy feck, he's come out with some absolute bollocks before this but talk about a shitty cherry on a cake of crap, man's a certified loon. I hope we see some of his fellow fighters coming out and condemning what he's said, Dana has already addressed it by calling him one of the dumbest people alive but also saying it's free speech so I don't see any sort of official punishment coming his way.

My interest in the sport just keeps diminishing. Just so many terrible people associated, and I just find it hard to watch anymore

Does it really surprise you that a sport where people beat the living feck out of each other for our entertainment has some very questionable and dubious characters?
 
I don't follow MMA anymore, but I DO follow subredditdrama:

UFC fighter Bryce Mitchell says "I honestly think that Hitler was a good guy." r/UFC, r/MMA & r/MMAPoliticsAndCulture reacts

The clip goes on for about 5 minutes so below is not the full excerpt, but the notable quotes.

“Here’s what I say about (Elon) heiling Hitler, heiling the Nazis. I really don’t think that he was, because I honestly think that Hitler was a good guy based upon my own research, not my public education indoctrination" Mitchell continues to claim, "I really do think before Hitler got on meth, he was a guy I’d go fishing with. He fought for his country. He wanted to purify it by kicking the greedy Jews out, that were destroying his country and turning them all into gays. They were gaying out the kids. They were queering out the women. They were queering out the dudes. Do you know where the first ****** surgery ever was? Happened to be in Germany before Hitler took over. You know the books that everybody makes fun of Hitler burning? You know what the books was? Queer books! Hitler burned queer books because Hitler didn’t want a bunch of queers destroying his nation. They can’t produce children."

Bryce Mitchell further adds “When he got on meth and he turned on Russia, I believe that’s when he kind of went full nutty. And I don’t think that he was just like the best dude ever. When I say I’d go fishing with him, I’m not saying he was the most trustworthy dude, or I’d love him or whatever. But at some point in Hitler’s life, I don’t think he was that bad of a guy. I really don’t. Now, was Hitler perfect? No, but he was fighting for his people, and he wanted a pure nation.”

He then continues by commenting about the Holocaust "When you realize there's no possible way they could've burned and cremated six million bodies, you're gonna realize the Holocaust ain't real".
 
Izzy fighting tonight? Has this fight barely had an promotion or have I just missed it?

Watched that live and although the clip doesn’t show it, he has a full seizure shortly after.

Thing is, Bryce was always a weird fecker beforehand
 
Love me some Jasmine :drool:
Her name was an ear worm for me for a solid week I swear, kept repeating over and over and then I was like imagine if her nickname was Jazzy Jeff, Jasmine "Jazzy Jeff" Jasudavicius just set up shop in my head for far too long.
 
This should be a fun fight
