Before the Reebok-deal, I thought to myself "Would be great, if the fighters didn't have to put all those patches on their pants so they had freedom for design. Without the logos, they could have cool shorts like the Rocky/Rampage USA-shorts, something with a unique theme. Joke was on me, I guess :D

Damn, Jones is banned from setting foot inside Jackson-Wink.

Jones tweeted this, but deleted it sometime within the last two minutes.

"Had a heartbreaking conversation over the phone with one of my longtime coaches last night, really hurts to lose the support of someone I respect so much. Sincere thank you to the rest of the coaches for staying in the fight with me. Our journey continues.."

Hey K @kaladin stormblessed did you see that Luis left the Believe You Me podcast, baby boy?
yup. apparently they were butting heads too much

im torn on it. one the one hand i like harrington better than luis. and harrington actually watches mma unlike luis.

but on the other, luis was pretty funny at times

im still listening tho. atleast for now.

sean strickland was more reasonable than i expected him to be half the timr. and way crazier than i realized he was the other half of the time lol

whatd you think?

I didn’t like to see Luis go because him and Bisping were hilarious together, but I think I can get used to Harrington and Brian chiming in. Plus, they plan on having guest hosts and hopefully more guests too.
I’ll still listen because I like Bisping as an MMA personality and he’s pretty goddamn funny himself.

I hope they maintain a good relationship and Luis come back from time to time.

Strickland was a fucking trip lol. Some of the shit was over the top but I was dying when he started shitting on Brian and Harrington. He seems like an alright guy but he often speaks before thinking. If he didn’t fight his story would be pretty grim.

im pretty torn on strickland

on the one hand, ive become a fan of him as a MW contender. and his craziness is interesting

but part of me genuinely worries that he may kill someone. and i dont want to have to forgive myself for championing him lol

I’ve heard a couple of his interviews and he reveals a bit more of himself every time. He says he struggles with low self esteem and self hatred. I appreciate his candor.

Did you hear that shit he said about his dad? He said he was gonna cut up his mom if she left him.

He also had a good interview on UFC Unfiltered before the Uriah Hall fight.

Which divisions have their "best night" GOAT is different from their all-round GOAT?

For instance, Cain is not the HW GOAT. But the Cain that beat the fuck out of JDS twice might fuck anyone up.

Anderson is the 185 GOAT. But maybe current Izzy beats the best version of him.

Any glaring examples of this?

I always found Luis OK, but Bisping is funny himself. Oftentimes funnier. And it always annoyed the fuck out of me when Luis was clueless about anyone outside of the main or co-main. I mean ffs guy, you're earning money to co-host a pretty high profile MMA themed podcast alongside a former UFC champion.

Here is surely the worst pro debut in MMA history.


* Comes out to centre cage when the bell rings

* Fakes a glove touch with a cheap shot bullshit low kick coming instantly

* KOed stone cold and faceplanted by a clean head kick from the leg he just cheap shotted, literally two seconds later

* Official fight time - 5 seconds

If there was a street crossing with 4 corners, one was football, one was baseball, one was tennis and in one there was a fight, everybody would go and watch the fight.
It's because fighting is in our DNA!
