Holloway is +130 in Vegas and Vitor -160 those seem like pretty good bets.

This "tiny punchmen don't sell fights" thing is kind of weird to me. Isn't Mayweather the biggest seller of all time? It's my understanding the guy is 15 pounds heavier than DJ. 15 Pounds is nothing.

I'd have to look but I think Tyson probably beats Mayweather in terms of best seller. Mayweather's fights really never did well until he started fighting Mexican fighters on Mexican holidays. He went from Pretty Boy Floyd to Bad Boy Floyd to Money Mayweather in a decade or so. Boxing is also a much different animal than the UFC.

I know lmao but Conor has poo poo talked the UFC like that when he refused to comeback from Iceland but I suspect Artem didn't think of that.

The UFC didn't make Conor. Conor made Conor.

It still kinda amazes me that the UFC Heavyweight division is a thing. Basically every single one of them could have chosen to say, play professional football for 500x the money.

Brock Lesnar, probably the best physical talent the division has ever seen, couldn't make it onto an NFL team.

Brendan Schaub is just sitting there like :smug:

I'm not saying that any of the current UFC Heavyweights could hack it in the NFL. It just puzzles me that they choose to dedicate their lives to the lowest paying of the contact sports. There's a reason we haven't seen a great heavyweight boxer for a long time. These guys all decided they could try to make it to the NFL or NBA.

Fighting is fun, its not a chore. Plenty of people do it purely for entertainment and don't ever want to become competitive.

Yes, I get that. However, we are discussing people choosing it as their profession not for their leisure activity.

I think Lewis underestimated how hard Hunt can hit and started to shell up. This is based off of the patented Eye Ball Test.

I don't think he underestimated his punching power because there's highlight reel knockouts in abundance when it comes to Hunt. He probably just has never been hit that hard before.

Aldo's trainer is saying he was injured and that's why he didn't/couldn't throw kicks.

According to a Dana White video on facebook right now, Conor is going to defend his belt later this year. Huh.

Maybe the NYE card? But unlikely.

GDR is vehemently against cheating in MMA. Which is why she forfeit her championship so as not to be forced to fight against someone who blatantly cheats during a fight.
