I like Michael Bisping having won the belt now just affords him to talk a never ending stream of poo poo to everyone.

Nah, rockhold has traditionally had exceptional wrestling, especially in the scramble. What he needs is better boxing so he can set up takedowns and execute that game plan instead of getting knocked unconscious repeatedly

He's also 36, coming off two really bad knockouts and hasn't had a win in nearly 4 years. While I'm not saying he can't have a career resurgence as a wrestlefucker, just look at the top of that division.

He not out wrestling

Gastellum
Bobby Knuckes
Derek Brunson
Cannonier
Darren Till

or suriving if he just wants to go full wrestle mode. If he wants to take a few fights against dudes like Weidman or Hall and top up his retirement plan - sure, good luck but at this point putting him against anyone in the top 5 just seems a little cruel and with his injury history I can't see him putting together 2 or 3 good wins to earn a shot.

I too am mad at Rose for not liking totalitarian regimes that are currently committing genocide.

On the one hand Pat Barry came up in the sanshou circuit and he should have defended the sport over the government.
On the other, he started dating her when she was 17 and he was 35.


I think going after a Chinese fighter over everything is pretty narrow minded, especially since she hasn't been noted as vocally pro-government or pro-genocide.

She specifically said she doesn't have ill will toward Wei Li. Not wanting there to be a champion who can be used for propaganda purposes within a brutal regime isn't crazy.

In this climate, though, her words do have a negative effect on Zhang. It's easy for a lot of people to conflate communism with individuals, same as happened for Covid.

Fair enough, but Rose isn't responsible for how others perceive Wei Li as an individual in any context with her comments at large about her motivations against representatives of communist regimes.

She was directly asked her motivation for the fight ahead and she gave an honest answer.

Rose has always been a little... unique in how she sees the world, partly because of past trauma. It's a little harsh to get the pitchforks out for her because she says communism is bad.

shut up you tedious loving pussy. take your Ben Shapiro semantics and inability to make a simple inference elsewhere

Namajunas has always been stupid and crazy. I doubt that what she’s saying is sincere or well thought out. but she’s also mentally ill and traumatized so I have a hard time being mad over some dumbass gotcha take on the eve of her execution

A woman with ptsd is stupid and crazy, nice.

Pena has a chance given that she can be a tireless grappler and Nunes has struggled in the past with that.

Nunes will still knock her into next month but she might actually break a sweat.

Fun little vid of Bobby Knuckles ranking things. My wife is Aussie, and I agree with the top 4 of his top 5 most dangerous animals in Australia. Really pulling for him, but he's got a LOT of accumulated damage at this point of his career. It seems he gets wobbled in every fight he's in, but man when he wins it's something special.

Love the sound bite at 2:19

Chris Weidman is about to turn 37 (in june) - Silva took a year and a month to come back from his leg break. So he'll be at least 38 before he's back in the ring. That's probably it for him right?
Maybe one more to get the comeback and then retire? Either way I can't see him ever really fighting again.
