Rashad around the 6 minute mark is definitely the highlight.

Hendricks was interviewed yesterday and said he was 183-184, and that he was confident that he'd make weight.

Welp,

Ryan Bader could win 20 uninteresting fights against people who had names five plus years ago in a row but he'll still have lost to Tito Ortiz

As a reminder, Tito Ortiz's wins over his last 14 fights, spanning 9 years:

-Old, broken down Ken Shamrock
-Alexander Shlemenko, a middleweight
-Old, fat, horrible Stephan Bonnar (by split decision)
-Ryan Bader, at a point where Ortiz had gone over 5 years since beating a relevant opponent (Forrest Griffin by split decision)

He also went on Ariel's 300th show and told him to gently caress off, so that was pretty cool.

Followed by Serra yelling at Ariel for failing to stand up for himself.

More MMA Hour notes:
-TJ now seems fine with fighting Faber after getting banned from TAM
-TJ still went to the Benavidez/Olivi wedding
-TJ says moving this camp to CO was on him, not because of "recruiting"
-Bang was really snarky to Ariel about not being on the show last week, and seriously Ariel needs to get a grain of self-awareness because he has roughly 1000x more "beefs" with fighters than all other MMA journalists combined. When you have one person throwing bombs for 80 minutes (Faber), the other side should get a response the following show, even if it's you're 300th show and you want to feel like a cool guy by having a bunch of legends insult you. Which goes back to the self-awareness thing.
-Hendricks blames the weight cut on venison, which he ate a lot because thought would be better for his weight than chicken and fish. :psyduck:

-Hendricks has no illusions about being competitive at middleweight unless he gets a lot better.

Hendricks is the reason someone like Mike Dolce has gainful employment, because he is too dumb to figure out calorie counting or how to prepare the appropriate meals for losing weight.

I assume he was buying deer meet directly from hunters or something and there's no caloric info the way there would be at a grocery store. Naturally, this should make someone want to take the step of doing ~90 seconds of research online about the differences between deer and chicken, but fighters do not always have the strongest intellects.

He also mentioned having deer 3x a day and was probably having big cuts of it.

Also, Browne said he and Ronda aren't dating or boyfriend/girlfriend, but they're together, and she's his woman and he's her man. Uhhhhh...

I'm worried Khabib won't be as good post injury.

I can see a striker losing a lot after a long layoff due to leg injury, but as long as his back is healthy I would think Khabib will be fine.

UFC.com should un-ironically have that in the upper right corner.

Like, the whole concept of "fan death" is manifestly ridiculous but that doesn't change the fact that it would be very stupid to make a Korean Zombie t-shirt with a giant fan on it.

I had never heard of this but it is real and wonderful:

Almost as good as the conspiracy theory that all American beef is tainted and gets exported to Asia, and that Americans exclusively eat Australian beef.

Why is Reebok so obsessed with the nationalist approach to the fight gear anyways? It's not like this is the loving Olympics where countries go head to head. If they really were lazy, they could have gotten the UFC roster and then gone down going, "Red, blue, red, blue..."

Considering that they use the term "kit", it feels designed to have a more international appeal than a US domestic one; a World Cup of Fighting thing. The international expansion is focused on home-country fighters, overwhelmingly matched up against fighters from other countries.

After what DC did to Rumble I don't see him having much chance against Jones.

The odds are overwhelmingly against any human being surviving the hit DC took; he got lucky that he was able to get up. Now, whether he could land that shot against Jones is a very real question, but his "puncher's chance" is a different beast than, say, Glover/Rampage/Bader or other LHWs who have absolutely nothing for Jones.

Dan was like I do TRT to keep up with the young guns, but not too much cause then I'm actually worse at fighting.

Vitor was like IT IS NONE OF ANYONE'S BUSINESS WHAT THE DOCTORS TELL ME TO PUT IN MY BODY WHICH IS ALLOWED WHICH MEANS NOBODY SHOULD BE ABLE TO KNOW IF I AM EVEN TAKING THESE MEDICINES OR NOT BUT IF I WAS IT WOULD BE NONE OF ANYONE'S BUSINESS AS ITS A PRIVATE MEDICAL MATTER AND HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH MY PERFORMANCES

Dan also still looked and fought like Post-Peak Dan Henderson while on TRT, as opposed to SSJ3 Vitor throwing insane spin kicks and almost snapping JBJ's arm like a twig. Then after TRT, Hendo looks pretty much the same while Vitor is very much not the same. The amount of testosterone being used was clearly orders of magnitude different.
