They replaced "knockout of the night" with the generic "performance bonus" because nowadays a lot of the general population knows that knocking someone unconscious is bad for your brain

What did you say the strategy was?

Everything was allowed at first. UFC at the beginning wasn't "Mixed Martial Arts" it was "No Holds Barred".

The only things not allowed were eye-gouging and biting.

Fishhooking and small joint manipulation as well I think

I thought this was more a response to cards only having one submission / knockout so they weren't rewarding an ordinary submission win over the second best KO of the night.

I hope he can get his poo poo together this time. In the last 20 years he's only been a free man for 3 of them.

I also hope he has more oildome stories.

Conor is just going to pick and choose.

He'll fight nate at some point and probably a Paul brother but he's 34 and had some tough outcomes in his last couple.

Hes got 0 reason to keep fighting other than using the lead up to promote his business ventures.

LOL.

What is Jon Jones status with the UFC these days, is he officially off the roster? Not sure if I'd prefer to never see him fight again or go out on a losing streak, probably the former.

stop the fucking fight, cornerman, your dude is fucking done and is about to be killed.

modern day jose aldo is the only guy in the ufc who looks more dangerous than he actually is and he actually is one of the most lethal people on earth. everything about the guy just screams do not gently caress with me.

His whole appearance on the MMA Hour was like a weird fever dream, right down to him (still shirtless) shaving someone's head and casually dropping some slurs to the dismay of everyone around him

Main, comain, Hernandez-barriault... Robertson -agapova. Anything that was a finish.


Some of the others were ok but avoid the cosce-giles fight and the decision on the prelims with the mexican guy with a Z in his name
