God is dead. God remains dead. And we have killed him. Who will wipe this blood off us? What festivals of atonement, what sacred games shall we need to invent?

I'm listening to Tuesdays ufc unfiltered podcast and jim norton said "if dana's ever lied, I've never caught him." That got a chuckle out of me.

I'm sure since this is the 1,000th time Dana's said that Conor's next fight will be a title defense that it will be true this time.

I mean at least one or both of Dana and Conor went on the record some time back saying that Conor's plan for the year was the Mayweather fight and then one UFC fight, so it's not exactly news. Can't recall if they specified it would be a title defense, though. Personally I'd love to see a rubber match with Diaz, even though he's four spots back in the rankings. TFerg legitimately deserves a shot, obviously; but Khabib can go gently caress himself, Alvarez already got clowned and who gives a poo poo about dos Anjos.

It's actually pretty funny that Connor barely fights now and is doing cartoonish nonsense mostly & he's still much more active & fighting better fighters than khabib. Also I don't know if khabib stopped calling ransoms out every six seconds or if people just stopped reporting on it here but either way I'm in favor

Tony, who last fought in November and fought twice last year, deserves the shot. Khabib, who last fought in November and fought twice last year, can gently caress off.

I see what you did there.

Ferguson is almost certainly most deserving, but I have an irrational dislike of him. Gimme Barboza instead.

Yeah, it's one of his defining characteristics. Jim and Matt really don't seem to follow MMA that much except on a surface level, so I think of them as being ignorant as opposed to being straight shills for the UFC. It is frustrating, though. The episode made me think of poo poo like Dana threatening to cut all of AKA if they didn't sign over their likeness rights for all of eternity.
Also, if no one gives a poo poo about DJ or TJ separately, what's their logic in assuming casual fans will care when they're fighting each other?

Matt Serra is a former UFC champion and actively trains some of the most talented MMA fighters on the planet. I think he might just follow MMA closely.

Well, it's his turn to pull out when their fight is next announced, so the opinion pendulum will probably swing back.

He's kind of weird looking. It's the Max Holloway effect. I still can't quite get my head around the fact that that goofy looking fucker is a legit incredible fighter.

Speaking of T-Ferg though, that fight with RDA is loving amazing. They fight drat near full speed the whole time, at altitude, and by the end they've still got a bunch in the tank and still haven't fully figured each other out. I mean, Tony won, but it could have gone a few more rounds to settle it.

RDA also got eye poked real bad in I think round 2? He was looking great until then. Similarly Barboza got illegally upkicked real bad in the first. Both those fights could have gone quite differently.
