The UFC crowned a new top bantamweight contender today with a history-breaking statistical performance and their twitter and instagram feeds are dozens of clips from Power Slap.

Worst kept secret is that everyone in the NFL and NBA is on juice.

To be honest if you were relying on instagram or twitter you wouldn't have known there was a card on yesterday for all the powerslap bullshit.

Eh if you care about UFC cards you should be relying on insta/twitter to tell you when there isn't a card on a Saturday, otherwise you should assume that there is. That being said, obviously, gently caress power slap and lmao at the fake tweets.

Brut, did Krylov say anything about the war? Was he speaking in Ukrainian or Russian? He got the "too controversial country" flag  I wouldn't have been surprised if they left out what oblast he was from. Also lol https://twitter.com/MMAMircea/status/1634985271073869824

kimbo305 posted:Brut, did Krylov say anything about the war? Was he speaking in Ukrainian or Russian? Uh kind of, there was this: Brut posted:Jesus christ, ya'll probably didn't get this on the ESPN broadcast but Krylov looked around to the crowd and shouted "USA, USA" a couple times with like a 'what now?' kinda look, then changed it to "Russia" chants with the same cadence (ro-si-ya). gently caress Krylov. I do also remember him saying something in the postfight interview along the lines of "I wish all our fighters well in future battles" but it was pretty vague. You know what, since UFC actually posts postfight interviews on youtube now and there's good footage, DC: I'm here with Nikita Krylov, Nikita you guys were supposed to fight a couple weeks ago, but the moment the fight started you fought as if this was a one round fight, was this what you expected? NK: Uhh, yeah probably blyat, if I knew things would unfold this way I would've agreed to fight the previous time, joking of course, felt very sick. I want to ask forgiveness of the organization (UFC) for the first time in my life pulling out of a performance, hope I gave everyone good emotions this time, wishing good luck to all our men in future battles. Translator: Yeah if I knew the fight was gonna go like that I would've maybe said yes last time, it's a joke of course yeah I wasn't feeling well, I'd like to apologize to the organization for taking off that fight, this is the first time I've ever done it in the whole time I've been in the UFC, I hope everyone enjoyed the fight and I hope all the other guys that are behind me are gonna have a great fight. Uh the rest of the interview is just about some technical stuff in the fight itself and then one answer that he gives in English about wanting to rest, not gonna bother with that. Anyway I don't know for sure if the translator in the moment honestly thought Krylov was talking about other fighters later on the card, but from the exact language Krylov used I find it very unlikely that he wasn't referring to the war there, but it's vague enough that there's plausible deniability. If you wanna have a go at it yourself or ask someone else the relevant part of the sentence is: желаю удачи всем нашим парням в дальнейших боях

I wonder how long the white power slap hour can astroturf itself into relevancy and what the total damage will end up being - the marketing blitz felt like good money after bad before the show even aired, now we're at the "faking twitter engagement from ham-and-eggers and abandoned accounts" stage and its only the second (?) episode

1/3rd of the UFC's official YouTube channel in the past 8 days was PowerSlap content. But it's the media hating on Dana that is ruining people's appreciation for PowerSlap and not, you know, how much people just don't want to watch it at all after having it attempted to be forced down their throats by the "Fight Promotion Genius."

No one is talking about power slap, we're bitching about it as an extension of Dana white and his poor decision, a lot like when we discuss fighter pay. On the upsids metrics show this thing sucks and is failing so at some point in the next few months the conversation will change to power slap a lot how people talked about the xfl

beep by grandpa posted:(excited to talk about white power slap with my friends) Did u see the part where he slapped the guy and he fell down So i haven’t seen power slap, but the whole reason that these slap competitions took off was that in a social media format a 15 second clip of some guy getting the absolute crap slapped out of him is actually kind of interesting and can go viral. The fact that Dana thought that it would somehow translate into a one hour longform show is wild. I have no clue what they’re showing in between slaps but I can’t imagine it’s interesting except to humanize the people getting CTE.

Who just assumes there's a UFC event on EVERY weekend? lmao I didn't accuse anyone of being absurd. There were 42 UFC events last year, if that doesn't count as "almost every Saturday" in your book, we don't have to agree on that. I don't specifically know that much about how other sports leagues operate but don't they generally take like full months off because there are seasons? I mean obviously "is it currently <insert sport here> season" or whatever isn't something you'd be looking up over and over every weekend, but still I thought the UFC actually operates on more weekends on average than the major sports. Point is if every Friday you thought to yourself "I'm gonna watch UFC tomorrow" then something like 80% of the time you'd be right, and the other 20% you'd be surprised with some extra free time, seems like a win/win to me.

Feel like Usman is going to regain his belt this weekend. I really like Leon Edwards but can't help but see him as one of the few people who wins fights and actually lowers his stock in the process (thoroughly beat Diaz but my prevailing image from that fight is him getting rocked and almost losing in the final round; won the championship after being thoroughly dominated by Usman but landing a beautiful kick at the very end). A slightly more prepared Usman is going to be ready for that kick, with added fire and motivation to get the title back. IMO Usman is just a much better overall fighter. Anyway, I'll be back when Edwards wins by Round 1 submission because it's MMA and nothing makes sense.
