hes like one of those early scenes in a horror movie or something where everythings like still reasonably normal seeming but u can just tell theres something super hosed up going on beneath the surface. this is just a tentative theory of mine but i think he likes to buy dozens of raw chickens from the store all at once and then arranges them into biblical scenes in his basement

Holloway is really good....

I would say it seems like Aldo doesnt want it as bad anymore / has been jacking off too much/not enough, but he hung in there taking a beating way longer than most guys wouldve after he got dropped. Holloway also hit him with a lot of deceptive shots that didnt really look like they connected like the one that gave him that lump on his head

yeah it was weird to me to see people saying holloway was getting beat up badly

This is complete bullshit by the way. Nobody, in any field, ever, is going to spend money promoting you if they don't either already know or very strongly suspect you'll make them money with or without their promotion.

no dude he's right the UFC facebook didn't post any pictures about his streak until fight week. nobody could overcome that lack of promotion

its definitely true that sage is overpaid for his talent and is given spots on cards that he does not deserve but if mighty mouse had been put on main cards sooner i dont think he'd be way more popular or anything

Might help if any of his opponents were. A quick check reveals that only Dodson and Benavidez are on main cards with any regularity, and Benavidez only since the first Mighty Mouse fight, and that's despite him being a wrecking ball who hasn't lost to anyone without a belt.




thats probably treu but then why does he wanna fight ray borg over tj?

good way to raise your profile would be to beat up and finish a recent champion of a heavier weight class who lost his belt in a very close decision who was about to fight for that title again and has been destroying contenders in the mean time

A better way would be to fight the actual guy with the belt in that division who has expressed interest in coming down for the fight.



unfortunately cody is out injured for the time being and would probably also have a harder time than tj making 125

There's a minimum amount of buys you have to hit for points to kick in and Mighty Mouse never hits it. He definitely won't against ray borg

As a defending champion, he gets 40k from Reebok per fight. Some of that 40k may be in the form of equipment and apparel.

lol they can send him a bunch of lovely reebok clothes and count it towards his 40k?
