The books have Khabib as the favorite. I use bodog.
Part of me wants to take Conor by decision because it’s the most unlikely outcome.
I think I’m staying away from picking this one
Really?
I want a son who’s just like Khabib. Well, with one exception.
FX prelims haven’t even started and B Dubs is already poppin’
Damnnnn that Fukin Lewis , didn’t see that coming at that point in time
Khabib Time for Dillon Dannis
Well that escalated quickly
Dana white should win an academy award for acting like he was pissed. All he cares about is the rematch $$$$
His post fight interview was the best!
Anyone else remember UFC #1 with “Hoyce” Royce Gracie & a sumo guy & all kinds of wacky? A busted elbow I think?..
That was great. I followed along until #10, bought the Pay-per-view & watched a boring-ass heavyweight choke session.
I had the most fun with Wushu(jet-li, c’mon…), but MuayThai = muy tired…
At about age 4 my dad started teaching me hand-wraps & would let me wail on him with his headgear on…to teach me. (he overdid it. d’oh.)
too old now. gotta be dirty.
I couldn’t find much UFC 1 stuff on youtube but I still think it was more interesting/entertaining as this video reminds us that the original “contest” was “which style is the best”, and it was very controversial/illegal… had to keep moving from state to state to find a venue. Ahh the good old days when we were more civilized…the 90s. [sigh]
I’d actually rent that to watch now.
here’s an oldie
My friend and neighbor took me to see #2 in a lounge I have been hooked since, the cool thing is that it is still maturing as a sport and will continue to do so for a while yet
oh, the youtube clickbait rabbithole. i remember Zaire!
Foreman v Ali - Rumble in the Jungle!
To me that was what was so intriguing about this fight. The classic “stricker vs grappler” matchup, but evolved. And the old truth still stands; grappling outmatches striking more often than not. But we’re getting closer to pure fighting skill being the determining factor.
I remember a loooooong time ago buying a Shootfighting event on pay per view. Everyone thought I was just getting a pro wrestling event, but I knew there was something different about it. Lemme find a link to the video of it…
Here it is:
Check out 3:15. That was Kazushi Sakuraba, a Pride legend, almost dying in the ring.
wtf is going on here? i just searched a bit, skipped all the “analysis” and found a youtube link:
i see a tap out, then the victor jumps out (& deserves to get crowd stomped, imo, just for that shit).
ay ayayay. [smh]
bread and circuses?
Talk shit, get stomped!
