He is cutting weight.

Oliviera also looked like death and was wearing a really weirdly poor fitting suit.

So I’m looking at Conor on social media, and erm, shouldn’t he be in camp now? He seems to be hanging out in Dubai doing some light workouts at best.

Yeah, I love me some Do Bronx, but nothing about that fight made me confident he’ll do well against the rest of the top guys. Chandler was in inches away from finishing him twice in the first, and all of the top guys are super prepared for bjj specialists.

I think the UFC just generally has no idea what to do with fighters in their early 20’s, and frankly I’m not sure what to do with them either except let them murder guys in the prelims for a couple years, which UFC doesn’t do, anyway

Have these attended fights been considered super spreader events? Are we far enough away from the events to be able to trace new infections to them? I haven't seen any stories or reports, related to those worries, show up in my news feed so I'm genuinely curious.

UFC 261 was in a full indoor stadium on April 24 and numbers have been falling consistently in Florida and across the country since then. Knock on wood, but it seems as though we may be back to the point where it’s okay to have attended sporting events again.

Frankly, it's mind blowing that not more fighters are doing this. Everybody comes out looking good. Instead, it's a bunch of catty cheerleaders bitching about how no-one is good enough to fight them and tanking the fans' interest. Why should I pay to watch a fight with someone who apparently is poo poo? It would be easy enough to hype your opponents skills and still say that you hate his guts on a personal level, but all we get are a bunch of fighters who apparently don't want to fight anyone.

E: And of course you wouldn't look like a tool when you're cold cocked by the no-skilled bum who had no business sharing the cage with you.

The other side of the coin is that creating the appearance of a personal beef gets viewers, so it’s in a fighter’s interest to do that, too. But yeah instances like where Jones said Chael sucked and then predictably whooped his rear end don’t help anyone.

Conor is still on vacation in Dubai. He’s also inexplicably the favorite against Poirier. Lots of money to be made betting on Dustin there.

There’s an unnervingly good chance that Tyron loses that fight…

Kamaru Usman is really the most aggressively boring person.

I, too, appreciate the card previews.
