stop the fucking fight, cornerman, your dude is fucking done and is about to be killed.
drat that jab popped cub's head back like he'd been shot by a beanbag bullet. That was loving crazy.

Refs aren't locked in with UFC and operate across multiple orgs, since they technically work for the commissions.

Respect to cub for taking the fight. Moicano is a killer and cub could have looked for an easy match

True, but the upper end seems to be like 1500 for a huge card like Aldo vs McGregor

That seems extremely low for such a crucial job

Cub is the man for taking that fight. Never seen a jab blast a guy like that. Love the show of respect from Moicano.

Edit: they looked a weight class apart. Joe and friends weren't kidding that Moicano has a great frame for the division.

Put him in against someone like Dennis Siver and then we'll see how far he has fallen. His only UFC losses are to champions or top contenders.

But he has had 20-some UFC/WEC fights, though, so he's due to have that sad slide soon.

Well he can't exactly call out Holloway while he's injured/dehydrated/idk, and he also can't call him out while Ortega is next in line and happens to be Moicano's only loss. So if he's already gonna call Ortega out he may as well try to get a (fake) belt out of it, I think he deserves it for learning English.

It says a lot about that division that he was streaming on twitch for 3+ hours per day until July 28th while most of the roster would be in a focused fightcamp of some sort.

gently caress. I'm getting a bad feeling because of the hype that Joe is pouring onto DJ. It's reminding me of him crying about Ronda Rousey being some kind of invincible superhuman saint right before she had her head kicked off.
