theyre at an impasse then .. i think they should both go to a fairground and compete in all the different stuff like shooting nailed down prizes with a cork gun, fishing stuff out of a barreo etc. dodgems + ring toss

I imagine it'd be something like this

Cyborg: "HEY gently caress YOU! YOU'RE SCUM. I'LL KILL YOU" [beats the poo poo out of them with a crowbar]

i think jds will beat that francis guy. he's still really good. just not elite. whereas knocking out arlovski puts francis in the esteemed company of brett rogers.

Have you watched any of Ngannou's fights? He would beat Brett Rogers worse than Overeem did.

He didn't just KO Arlovski. He's destroyed everyone he's fought.

I've seen 3 of their writers write Cyborg love pieces. The one before Cyborg got popped was a woman so I presumed she had a different perspective from most MMA writers but the two recently have been men, so it's like they're all getting editorial direction

the last time jds fought someone on arlovski's level was uhh 2010, roy nelson when he was undefeated in the ufc. the last time he fought someone on the level of ngannou's other opponents was before the ufc (or i guess yvel if you want to be really generous).

ngannou might be really good but he's fought one good fighter who is notorious for his awful chin and had lost three in a row. and jds has fought the best fighters in the division for like seven years.

JDS just lost so his next fight he'll look like a world beater against Ngannou

Ngannou's probably the best new prospect the HW division has had in a long time.
Lots to do to turn potential into reality, naturally.

JDS vs Ngannou could easily be another Edgar/Yair situation though.

Heavyweight is a very different world than 145. JDS is going to get knocked cold by Ngannou.

When asked which Pokemon he evolved into, Kamara pauses.

"Motherfucking, what's that big dragon shit? That orange motherfucker. Charizard."

I'll take Junior over the guy whose best win is 2017 vintage Andrei Arlovski and who has never been out of the second round.

Cut her, cut Cyborg, quietly remove the entire division from the website and just pretend W145 never happened.

UFC pays to have Fightland made, so even if they don't have direct editorial control, they probably have lots of influence. Maybe the previous owners said "make Cyborg happen", and the new owners haven't gotten around to reversing the order.

I think JDS vs. Ngannou is a pretty good match up, everybody is pointing out that Ngannou has only beaten up scrubs and chinny old Arlovski but you'll never find out if he can do more than just beat up scrubs if you don't eventually put him in there against proven fighters.

Id like to see Derrick Lewis tighten up his striking game and become more relevant too. Hes pretty durable and hasnt taken much damage as of yet.

Well, putting him in with Mark Hunt is a good way to determine how durable he is. Really looking forward to that Auckland card, guess it's too late at this point in time to get Kai Kara-France on it though.

212 deserves some sort of award for being the shittiest card that i will gladly pay money for. take the main event off that bitch and it's looking as recognisable as the most recent pancrase card, except i'd consider a hioki fight a better use of my time than a loving vitor fight at this point.

That's one of the nice things about living in Asia at the moment. I can go out drinking Saturday night, sleep and by 11am or so whenever I wake up Sunday the UFC fights are on (when they start at 10pm ET)
