The contracts, like everything related to UFC contracts, are loving disgusting.

ONE Friday Fights 4 - 2022-02-10 Lumpinee Boxing Stadium, Bangkok, Thailand Another three-sport week: 7 Muay Thai fights, 2 MMA fights, and a kickboxing bout. We’ve gone from 12 fights to 11 down to 10 over 4 shows. The main event features Duangsompong Jitmuangnon taking on Batman Or.Atchariya. Duangsompong is 24 years old and fights out of the same gym as the legend Rodtang. He had a record of 3-2-1 in 2022. He’s about 3 inches taller than his opponent. Batman loves popular culture character Batman and was encouraged by his coach to wear a Batman mask to the ring for the past 6-7 years until enough people called him Batman that he changed his ring name to Batman. He acknowledged in the build-up that he’s had to alter his training to account for ONE’s 3-rounds + MMA gloves being different from the traditional Muay Thai 5-rounds + boxing gloves. Batman was 4-2 in 2022 and is on a two-fight losing streak. ONE Muay Thai: Regular fights 3 rounds of 3 minutes, title fights 5 rounds of 3 minutes. Scored on the 10-Point Must System, but judges must declare a winner if the points are even at the end of the fight. 3 knockdowns in a round is a TKO. Elbows allowed, no throws, no grappling. Fighters fight in the 4 oz. MMA gloves instead of boxing gloves. ONE referees tend to break up the clinch almost immediately instead of letting the fighters work out of it. ONE MMA: Regular fights 3 rounds of 5 minutes, title fights 5 rounds of 5 minutes. Bout scored in its entirety, not round-by-round. Knees to the head of a grounded opponent are legal, soccer kicks are not. ONE Kickboxing: Regular fights 3 rounds of 3 minutes, title fights 5 rounds of 3 minutes. Scored on the 10-Point Must System. 3 knockdowns in a round is a TKO. Elbows are not allowed, no throws, no grappling. Fighters use 8/10-ounce boxing gloves. The show is located here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x04SkBWSbyw Fights highlighted in bold were ones that I found particularly entertaining. Part 1 Judy Humber (15-2) vs. Malena Garcia (32-5) (MT 128) 9:25 Aqib Awan (3-0) vs. Peter Danesoe (4-2) (MMA 135) 29:54 Hiroki Suzuki (14-1) vs. Fariya Aminipour (11-0) (KB 145) 45:50 Bruno Azevedo (17-3) vs. Talekh Gamidov (5-0) (MMA 145) 1:07:53 Ferrari Fairtex (132-30) vs. Fabio Reis (20-6) (MT 145) 1:29:18 Part 2 Chaongoh Jitmuangnon (18-0) vs. An Bunhour (15-5) (MT 135) 1:52:36 Gusjung Fairtex (29-9) vs. Francisca Vera (8-2) (MT 112) 2:06:57 Alessandro Sara (50-17) vs. Erdem Taha Dincer (31-3) (MT 148) 2:25:48 Mongkolkaew Sor.Sommai (150-38) vs. Petchmuangsri TDED99 (55-15) (MT 135) 2:41:53 Duangsompong Jitmuangnon (70-10) vs. Batman Or.Atchariya (65-20) (MT 135) 3:06:42

While china for sure has a state run doping program, it doesn't mean wei-lei would be apart of it, anymore than Khabib or Islam would have been part of one because Russia has been caught so badly. Also the gym in Thailand Wei Lei trained out of is the same one Jiri trained out of that Volk is a part owner of, so I don't think or agree that going to thailand is anything suspicious. Though yes, you can get roids there pretty easily if you know how.

Jose Aldo's boxing debut was tonight, and it is notable for four things: 1) Aldo got two belts from his first professional fight https://twitter.com/guicruzzz/status/1624216474893049859 2) Aldo could not actually hurt an 0-3 guy who hadn't fought in three years and fought all his bouts at 125-130, where he was knocked out by a guy who is 5'4" 3) Aldo did, however, give him a full on uppercut to the balls that was briefly in jeopardy of stopping the fight 4) The professionalism of the very real, very legitimate Shooto Boxing Brazil

So I've gone back and I've watched every fight I could find of Islam and Volk over the last night and today and I still have no loving clue how this fights going to go. I think the odds makers are somewhat correct in that Islam has muuuuch more of a path to victory and Volk seemingly has one - outside of some kind of bizarre flash KO which is always, lighting strike possible. Firstly. Makhachev is not a great striker. He's not even what I'd describe as a good striker in terms of combat sports. What he is though, is an effective striker and he's effective at utilizing it to get to what he's good at. His left kick is powerful, doesn't have a lot of set up due to his stance and has been markedly effective at rattling his opponent and freezing them for him to shoot in. He also throws it nicely to the body when his opponent is looking to circle off the cage. He even seems to have the ability to throw it with power and without much effort when he's corralling people to keep them in front of him. He's extremely tense when he stands in front of his opponent but bizarrely he's still able to explode with accuracy and a quickness you don't often see from the Dagestani camp. It's probably the one thing I actually noticed most in re-watching his fights is that he has a quick-twitch suddenness with his hands and body that I just don't expect him to have. I write this having seen all of his fights in the UFC (at this point at least twice) and even some outside. Its in the same vein as the way Anderson used to dodge punches, or that famous Ali clip where he dodges about 20, no matter how familiar I am with it, when I see it again I still go "gently caress me". Islam has that same X factor with the way he can be so sudden and so accurate and while I don't doubt Volk and his camp - given their thorough approach have noticed it, tt must feel different when you're in there because he catches guys time and time again. Makhachev also utilises the russian, sweeping hook that Fedor made famous when he's moving and exchanging and while I don't think that's really much of an issue here since Volk is so active and moves so well. I think it will be and has been in the past an effective weapon for moving opponents to the fence or corraling them when they're retreating, Makhachev is also not afraid to wing one when a clinch breaks down and his opponent moves away. His power straight is still just so interesting to watch because he times it so effectively even while I can watch him fight and know its coming. Which kind of brings me to my next point. He throws very little volume but the little volume he does throw seems to be thrown with, almost reckless, violent intentions. By all means he'll have some pawing exchanges with guys to score and to suck guys in, but he really hosed Olivera up with his left hand throwing single, fast, accurate and powerful shots and when he didn't and instead looked to kick he was either really looking to hurt to the head and body or he was looking to move guys into position so he could shoot, or tie up and throw. His throws aren't to be underestimated either as I think his ability to sweep guys off their feet in the clinch is something we haven't seen in a long time. He also has a very effective traditional shoot single and double but neither of them are as technically clean than what Khabib used to do, I think given his frame and dogged determination he makes it work quite effectively. Note: I'm not saying here his technique is bad, I'm more saying he's not a 10/10 like Khabib he's more a 7 or 8 but hes just so strong, so well balanced and times it so well he's arguably just as effective. Volk is at a disadvantage in both of these areas as I feel like against the fence and carrying Makhachev's sizeable frame Volk will really struggle to disengage and if Islam can get under him I don't know if he's strong enough to slip out like he's done against featherweights. It's not all doom and gloom though because there are one or two holes in his game - at least standing. Firstly he's quite flat footed and rooted when he's looking to get off his strikes. As I said above, he's an effective striker, not necessarily a great one. For starters he doesn't cut angles like he's looking to sythe in, either on his entry or when retreating and with his wrestling based style, that's not really something he's likely to ever (or need to) develop. It is something however that Volk can exploit. He was able to slip and rip quite a bit when facing holloway and either leading or following Volk was able to change angles and still be effectively in his range and deliver with power. Volk also has an uncanny ability to take away what his opponent does well in the striking game and his varied style matches up well against south paws. He's not afraid to vary his strikes, targets or stance and his familiarity switching between southpaw and orthodox, and his effective combinations in either allow for him to be effectively in and out of an opponents danger area while he's in one of his, even if they're still within range. Volk is also pretty adept at getting the gently caress out of his opponents range when they're attempting to employ what they're good at. Quite often Holloway would try to goad him and Volk would simply step back and yell something, usually ending in "mate!" or "Brothahhhh!" he also avoided Mendes quite well when they fought the same way - simply giving range and re-setting to try again - something Olivera seemed to fail to do. Volk also has power that will carry late in rounds and up the weight class, he also has a much more varied arsenal and can overwhelm an opponent. I feel like overall Islam can win in a variety of ways. He may catch Volk with a high kick, or straight left, either of which would put down most men. He may smother him for two rounds into exhaustion into a submission before the end of the third. He may simply be too long, too fast, too strong, too good. But, if Volk is pin point, if he moves well, if he makes Islam chase him through the first two rounds, even if he loses those rounds but makes Islam gas himself holding him down and we we get into the championship rounds this could get very, very interesting, very quickly. Now watch Volk guillotine him in 35 seconds and make me look like a clown. BlindSite fucked around with this message at 06:56 on Feb 11, 2023 |

Good analysis. Islam is for sure going to be a problem for years to come, but I can't stop rooting for Volk. If he pulls this off, there can be no argument about his P4P-status.

I have a feeling that this is going to play out a lot like Poirer vs. Holloway: a great, close fight that people remember as being a lot more one-sided than it was because of a rough start being unable to overcome the size disadvantage. I'd be really tempted to pick Volkanovski if he was bulking to commit to LW permanently but I believe him when he says he's trying to hold both belts.Lone Goat posted:I was hoping Tom Clancy is Dead's reg date was the same day Tom Clancy died, but alas, no i'm not that cool P.S.

I think this fight really sealed the fact that Islam is simply not Khabib. Khabib played it a lot tighter on the ground, and I think the strength differential would not have allowed the gaps that Islam gave on Volk's defensive wrestling. Also, on the feet, Islam's striking and defense wasn't enough to let him capitalize on and score much with the size difference. He caught Volk enough to take some of the pressure off, but was doing worse on the feet than on the ground. He was taking bigger chances standing on the way to looking for takedowns.

Retro thread recap: UFC 200 - Part 2 We left off last time with a prime Aldo and Edgar having an extremely close first two rounds. I wonder if any wrestling fans in the thread watched this and thought 'gently caress, I should follow this'? It's just that type of fight. quote:I absolutely can't score this. Aldo's countering amazingly but Frankie is so so active This should be the correct attitude, but while Aldo and Edgar are taking a minute break, a White Power Slap fight starts up in the thread full of 'what fight are you guys watching's'. The third round can be summed up thusly: quote:I could watch these two fight forever Unfortunately Aldo has this thing.... It's like he sold his soul to a devil that traded him the ability to be the best fighter on the planet for exactly 3 rounds. Depending on how his cut went, where the constalation of gemini is, and the phase of the moon, rounds 4 and 5 are traditionally really dicey for him. That is really bad news when you're fighting Edgar who has never finished a 5 round fight without looking like he coud do another 5.... So naturally rounds 4 and 5 were the strongest Aldo rounds accoding to the thread. So we're getting posts like: quote:I got 1 2 and 5 to Edgar. I dont care what joe says. Edgar was effective and controlled those rounds. and quote:I have 49-46 Aldo but also quote:Dominant Aldo win. and most infuriatingly: quote:That wasnt a victory that should get Aldo another shot at Conor imo  lol. Hot take. But regardless the vibe is that Aldo has scraped in and the fight was good. This was for the interim belt during Conor's reign and so it's cute to see everyone speculate on the rematch. They had such happiness in their hearts, and they still do. Here. Preserved for all time. Whoa! I appear! Maybe someone else's phone is up a tree. What have I got to say for myself? quote:That was some of the the most biased commentary I've ever heard bit I gave 3, 4, 5 to Aldo but whatever Hahahaha oh yeah and there was tons of 'Rogan's commentary loving sucks' so it's good to see nothing changes. And Frankie Edgar is my favourite fighter ever so if I had it for Aldo it was probably extremely deserved. Anyway, shut the gently caress up me with a functioning back, we've got a thread to read. Mean Bean Machine gets meta: quote:So many bad posts today lol and it isn't even a Rousey card I'm definitely doing a recap of Rousey / Holm next lol. Holy poo poo, Fatherdog weighs in. If I was a Sir Gallahad (The Chaste) of Frankie stans, Fatherdog would be the God that gave Arthur instructions, and he says of the fight: quote:Those were all reasonable scores for a change, Aldo fought a great fight. People saying that Frankie wasn't landing and Aldo avoided everything need to seriously pay attention to what they're watching, including Rogan. I'm psyched for Aldo/McGregor 2. These are my fight thoughts. Aldo won that fight. Which doesn't explain this post from INRI: quote:it wasnt close. i think you all just want to have gay sex with frankie edgar and touch his balls etc Incorrect. Correct. Goons are still slapfighting over over the win and it's possible implications with regards to McGregor. A goon who I won't name in case he still posts does come out with this banger: quote:The line that Conor can't go back to 145 seems ridiculous and completely made up wishful thinking, too. He just got his poo poo wrecked by Diaz at 170 but we'll get him on the Johny Hendricks all-chicken breast diet and he'll be back down in no time. And I absolutely cannot tell if Dangersim is serious here: quote:Conor said literally days ago he will be coming back to 145, and he doesn't lie about poo poo like that But in apologies for mispronouncing his name in my head for years, I'll assume he was joking. Finally, finally someone mentions that Anderson Silva and Daniel Cormier are about to fight and that we should probably all talk about that now.... Right after everyone shits on Jon Jones for a while: quote:Oh man! They are BURYING Jones. Good. Silva had some absolutely dog poo poo fights that I'll never forgive him for, but guy's who make people post this: quote:So they're calling this dude the best fighter ever and he sure looks like he couldn't give less of a poo poo, so the other guy's gonna win, right?  Is the GOAT. With 2 days notice, he went up to LHW to fight Daniel loving Cormier. That owns. And I don't know what Dana paid him, but it wasn't enough. I remember this fight being an embarrassing slaughter and I'm genuinely hoping I'm wrong. Firstly though, a bit of trivia I don't remember hearing from Jerusalem: quote:The most bizarre What If is that apparently Vince McMahon's son actually recommended they buy UFC at some point way back in the past and Vince rejected the idea. I mean, he probably would have completely hosed it up and not a single person would have believed the fights had any integrity but it's still a fun thing to think about what might have been. I basically stopped watching MMA because it had strayed too far from its carni roots, and I can't help but wonder what Vince would have done with this shitshow. It could not have been any worse. Could it?! What say you, Atom? quote:DC is about to wreck my hero Oh. Lusty boos start raining down as the extremely obvious happened immediately. I do feel bad for DC. Andy is beloved, but even not having fought in years, it would be insane for DC to stand with Silva. There is just no god drat reason to. He either loses to a MW on 2 days notice, or he wins in the most unexciting way possible. No new fans will be made tonight. quote:drat that was a roidtech speed lie-down to sidecontrol Why can I feel this? The difference in wrestling was such that DC could phone his wife and kids on top of Andy while transitioning to side control. And DC's family would definitely hear a high pitch "Hello Mrs. DC, your husband is very strong!" My homie Duzzy Funlop sums it up: quote:Crowd not happy with DC doing exactly what he should be doing, to no one's surprise https://i.imgur.com/EH3aFpz.mp4 It is 20 seconds of Dangersim hoping for something, and 4.5 minutes of reality. quote:This is the worst sex I've ever seen The boos just will not stop and goons are very upset, and it might just be my imagination but I can't help but think they're experiencing the cognitive dissonance of knowing as MMA fans that this is what DC should be doing and absolutely hating it. Andy really is beloved. Also this is 2016 and he's 41 and was a couple of days out of surgery post getting his gall bladder removed. Our referee has apparently received instructions to stand them up so everyone can get all excited for a minute before: quote:A great takedown.... I swear to got I cannot remember ever hearing this before: quote:oh my god a stand them up chant quote:Big John is apparently about as easily manipulated by peer pressure as a middle schooler And it's a good thing he is! The very end of the fight a flurry of activity happens that briefly gets everyone's hopes up before realising that DC has been hit so hard by Rumble that it looked like he stepped in front of an invisible train. He eats it and the fight is over. No one is pleased. Bluedeanie though, decides that in lieu of DC knocking Silva out, he was going to finish Dangersim quote:Dangersim, its ok. We are all extremely obviously wrong in hindsight sometimes. I mean it was also with foresight in your case, but still. Brutal lol. Crowd has been booing at this point for nearly 20 minutes straight which has to be up there as some sort of record. Apparently the flurry at the end actually convinced people of this: quote:On a full camp Anderson wins that fight. That front kick to the liver was a nice trip back in time but not far back enough. Ignoring the fact that DC doesn't just stay in lockdown until he gets stood up if he's trying to hurt you. I remember it looking like he was not trying to brutally massacre the aged superstar but hey I've been wrong before. quote:If you think DC was taking it easy on anderson you're an idiot NO gently caress YOU DANGERSIM YOU LIT- er, actually, I'll just hand it over to LobsterMobster who has a way with these things: quote:Cormier is a big dumb jerk Perfect, also: quote:Remember when Jon Jones' opponent pulled out with an injury, and Chael Sonnen offered to step in on a week's notice, and Jones just refused? No, but loving lmao. Also, Dangersim is still going. I'm not going to quote him any more because it feels wrong to do that to a friend who is no longer with us, but god drat man I hope you eventually recovered from this trauma. quote:apparently cowboy started the stand them up chant lol. Time for Hunt / Lesnar. Now it is the rest of our turns to be Dangersim. I did not recall DC / Silva fondly. I recall Hunt / Lesnar with actual hostility. I hated this fight. And if the reason Part 2 is like 24 hours later than I said it would be, let this be the reason. All I wanted was for Hunt to smash the dick off his chest and then kill him. Is that too much to ask? NobodyNOWHERE sums it up: quote:If Bork wrestlefucks Hunt into the ground then this card will have burnt all the good will that was earned with the early Travis Browne thrashing. All this wrestling (the entertaining kind, not the kind that just happened and is about to happen) talk is so loving weird. Can't wait for a chair to hit the dude with another chair and DC expects the translator to give him a chair so he can molest him with the chair. Nate Diaz appears on the big screencompletely stoned for an interview because he loving rules. Hello, StarkRavingMad, shut the gently caress up: quote:JESUS CHRIST SHUT THE gently caress UP DIAZ Who the gently caress thinks like this? THIS is the way to think: quote:Whatever Nate just said, then repeated 3 more times, I agreed with Better. I'm greatful to Diaz for appearing between these two poo poo fests. Especially when he apparently says: quote:"in the time of war, he wouldn't even be alive. i'd own all his poo poo and this wouldn't be happening again." - Nate Diaz on McGregor lol. PostNoveau makes mention of what would become a massive legal battle between Hunto and the UFC with this little interjection: quote:They're not allowed to do steroids right? [looks at brock] uh, that's right. Just ignore the fact that the real reason for the yellow octagon was to clearly designate the space that had to be zoned as a petting zoo so all the non human hormones could stand in it. gently caress I'm sorry my bros who like wrestling but I loving hated these cards because of yall's part time MMA posters. It's so loving weird. It's, I don't know... The wrong attitude? Or something? To have when men are seriously trying to kill each other. I'm sure the contrast to you was pretty funny and I'm not trying to get on my high horse about the REAL FIGHTING I just find it really offputting. Apologies if my commentary of this is more about the dogshit posting than the fight. I don't really want to talk about the fight. Or maybe I do. Let's find out.... Nope lol don't know if this is tongue in cheek or not so I won't name names but loving hell lmao quote:If Brock gets popped for roids, is he out of SummerSlam too? quote:he has never been popped for roids so why would he start now? quote:Yeah, he's never popped for roids and has always looked like he does now. Like since high school. Lesnar's just a jacked loving white boy without a neck. [looks at Brock again] Uh, I think he started a while ago. Oh you mean popping? They actually test in the UFC. In other news, Chromatic may suck my dick when he's finished with the one on Brock's chest: quote:hahaha good gently caress you hunt I just don't understand some people. quote:Brock is just outstanding at riding guys - Joe Rogan Where was this energy when Sage was fighting, Rogan, you loving philistine?? And ok if this is tongue in cheek than I just don't get it so I'm going to start naming names. Fluffydaddy, the admin, what the gently caress is this:  quote:Brock has always been this huge, so i dont get your point The man is not producing trenbolone in his endocrine system, and if he is it's not a birth defect. He is the single most on steroids person in the UFC ever, and that pool of suitors includes Ubereem. The thought of protein and the occasional gym visit producing Brock Lesnar is absurd. You cannot have reached adulthood and survived long enough to post this genuinely thinking that. Statistically you would have drowned in adolescence after falling into a pool and attempting to drink yourself out. quote:i was told this samoan man could punch That loving does it. I'm going to say 'ree'. Like in those memes making fun of neurodivergent people. Don't push me. quote:why was this fat guy the favorite Ree. Two rounds have passed and people are guessing 1-1. I don't know whose having less fun, the goons watching that or me reading them, but it feels like we're all together in this. Jesus loving christ look at this artifact: quote:Punk/Lesnar was a better match. I don't watch wrestling but watching a guy who lost to a journalist 'fight' a guy who beat Mark Hunt is such an insane concept that I might just track it down. Brock has apparently turned a shade of pink which psychologists have shown to reduce aggression in prison inmates and now Mark Hunt. quote:I would like Cowboy to start chanting stand them up again even though it would be bullshit loving same dude. Same. Why am I posting like this is real time? Have I slipped into a moron fugue state? Doesn't matter. R3 takedown is secured and with it, the fight. Oh, and hello old friend! quote:Jase1 is losing a lot of money tonight. RIP. Love you brother. quote:Well that sucked. With you on that one, Mr. Nice. quote:I hate UFC 200 Same. Further congratulations to Ty1990 for pissing me off in real life in 2023 with this banger quote:Lmfao everybody's fat hero just got bodied by a WWE wrestler who hasn't fought in four years I hate you, but you are not wrong.  If you're wondering why the crowd is cheering Brock while they booed DC, it's because one is a wrestler and the other wait no one is a poo poo gently caress hang on quote:Brock Lesnar is popular, and DC is not Thanks Dr. Abysmal that's what I was trying to say. Also, I read this, so you have to. It's the Sideshow Bob rakes scene but in lieu of rakes it's this post flashing up on screen: quote:jesus imagine brock loving his wife  Just incase you wanted something less punchy but with the weird, sick feeling in your stomach turned way up: quote:Brock's like the rear end in a top hat that takes you home from the bar, savages you, and then is sweet and tender for the thirty seconds after he blows his load. The next morning, he's an rear end in a top hat, again. What. The gently caress. Is wrong. With pro wrestlers? quote:Why did Brock kiss his mother on the mouth? Am I the only one who thought that was weird? I didn't need that. I don't need this. I feel like I'm slipping away. quote:It's hard to imagine that what we just saw was the same sport as Aldo/Edgar but it's true lol. I'm back. Also, Brock may or may not have said something racist in the post fight. It must have been around the time of BLM / ALL LIVES MATTER. Goons are deliberating: quote:I don't know about that... I think he was trying to say something akin to 'we're all one' and just didn't have the brain capacity to formulate the words. I'd blame that on getting hit in the head by Mark Hunt but he pretty much didn't get hit in the head, so... Excuse me, Brock, but I like my racism in all aspects of MMA except the ones I pay to see. Luckily he hosed off forever. Anyway here comes Amanda Nunes and Meisha Tate to save the day. It is absolutely unfair to comment on this fight knowing what Nunes went on to become but this is still a wild post: quote:Nunez is about to get worked, but she is feeling the spirit at least At one point in time, somebody thought Miesha Tate was better than Amanda Nunes. Fascinating. Goons are still sorting out whether or not Brock is racist. If you asked me whether Miesha Tate or Brock's Racism was headlining 200 just from goon posts it is 100% Brock's racism. Surprising everyone except me from the future Nunes beats the loving poo poo out of Miesha Tate. I'd love to end it here: quote:UFC 200 kinda sucked guys But we've still got 10 more pages of terrible opinions to enjoy. quote:Why? Ronda would demolish Nunes Woof. Swing and a miss. Also, I nearly didn't quote this because I didn't know if he was serious but I'm starting to think he was. quote:I really think they should stop making quick submissions like this part of the UFC. it's really a huge waste of time to keep building up two hours for just 12 second matches. I'm not sure what to say to that. Do we just let Nunes smash Tate's head until it turns into the Fallout 3 explosion animation? Please continue: quote:Oh I dunno, make it more points based, maybe instead of one tap out it can be three strikes, etc. more emphasis on technique, etc. I dunno, like, we've had multiple championship matches decided by one single quick stroke and it's too quick to really get excited or interested in what's going on. Congratulations for putting your arm around an opponent's throat in such a way that you can literally kill them at will. We award you three significant strikes. Ms. Tate, pick up the pieces of your face you want to keep and get back in the neutral corner. How many fingers am I holding up? Wednesday? Well if you've still got days of the week in there you can go a little bit longer until some guy is satisfied with his PPV purchase. Anyway here's the Bud Light Damage meter bought to you by Bud Light: First up, Miesha Tate showing off her hosed up everything:  And here we have Jose Aldo sporting the traditional 'I won convincingly do' paired with a moustache that is illegal outside of vegas:  Ok gently caress this, what else, er, I get in a slap fight with INRI about just how close Edgar / Aldo was or wasn't, lots of cool poo poo is gone because imgur wasn't invented yet or whatever, and, er, that's it. UFC 200. It sucked poo poo mostly except when it didn't. Sorry part 2 was like 3 days late.

It's hard to say Volk got robbed under the scoring system, imo. However, if there was a sixth round, he wins.
