No, you can't watch the weigh ins, we'll just tell you everyone made weight. Please ignore that fighters routinely fail hydration tests, they end up passing them eventually, even if it takes 50 tries. They made weight and are perfectly healthy So I'm guessing it did great, best PPV in the history of...something.

The only specific, undeniable metrics on ONE's viewership we've ever had were when they were broadcasting on TNT after AEW Dynamite, and generally speaking they would be getting a lead-in audience of ~700-800,000 viewers and the subsequent episode of ONE would wind up averaging ~200,000-300,000 viewers. So at least in terms of the western audience base, they were running about on par with Bellator, albeit with a much better TV deal. Their actual altogether viewership numbers are basically impossible to figure out because they just say whatever they want by taking total potential viewership and arbitrarily carving pieces out of it and then people report that because it's the only number they have. ONE had 29 million people on average watching its shows in 2019, even though its youtube metrics had livestreams barely getting watched. ONE's 100th event had 89 million people watching it, making it the most watched MMA event ever; don't ask us how. ONE's version of The Contender trended locally on Netflix in Singapore for a day, so Chatri put out a post reading "THE APPRENTICE IS THE #2 SHOW ON NETFLIX" on his blog. It's a really fun company to watch and they are doing some genuinely interesting and exciting things with a genuinely interesting and exciting roster, but we won't ever know what the hell is going on under the hood because they somehow obfuscate things even harder than the UFC.

Double-posting, but the news warrants it: https://twitter.com/marc_raimondi/status/1512662241950289920 From a divisional standpoint it sucks that Joanna got to leave for two years, come back and immediately get what will almost certainly be a #1 contendership fight, but on the other hand that fight loving ruled so hard and seeing it again will be awesome.

It’s probably a good fight for Zhang to take on after Rose. She’s got a good shot to keep to her strengths; i don’t see JJ being able to keep her down if she tries to take Zhang to the mat. I don’t ever see Zhang posting any wrestling training in her IG. It’s mostly conditioning, then some striking drills, and a tiny bit of jiujitsu. I don’t know if grappling stuff is downplayed as a bit of deception, or if she isn’t trying to complete her game as much as she needs to to rematch Rose. That wrestling coach with the glasses interacts with her all the time and is part of her camps to some degree, but I’ve not seen evidence of that training on social media.

Speaking of the UFC sucking how do they not have any regular news / analysis show on their own streaming service?? Surely they can afford to put someone in a studio for 45 minutes a week?

As long as it at a basic level exists, they're happy.

It's all that grapplin' There's a reason most of the elite wrestler champs become kickboxers when they start fighting five rounds regularly Also here is a hot take: Raquel Pennington is a modern day Randy Couture. Her record is bad, her clinch-boxing style is ugly, and it always seems like she's going to lose, but she keeps winning anyway
