From where did this information come from? Nevada doesn't release pay anymore, and so now random twitter accounts just make it up and people retweet it as if it was accurate.

I googled ufc 285 payout and some article came up. I wouldn't even know how to go about fact checking or confirming or whatever.

The first season of Power Slap all took place in Las Vegas after the Nevada Athletic Commission (NAC) unanimously voted to sanction the sport this past October. Stephen Cloobeck, the former NAC chairman who voted to approve the sport in Nevada, recently told the Associated Press of his decision: “I made a mistake. I’m not happy about it.”

Neither are we Steve.

Holy poo poo Jones. Absolutely extraordinary.

There's a really good biopic that could be made about Jones. So incredibly good in the cage for so very long (last three title defences at LHW notwithstanding) while being incapable of not loving up outside of it. All his legal problems aside, he's just kind of clumsy. There's that clip of him trying to dunk a basketball and having the ball bounce out and land on his head. There's also that footage of Holly Holm casually outboxing him during sparring. Also he once came third behind Matt Riddle in a wrestling comp. He's not even good at sports or the inidvidual aspects of fighting, but he can put it all together. He put all his points into MMA and literally none into anything else.

I keep forgetting that Usman is fully 6'1 since he's so jacked he somehow looks shorter. Khabib had the same thing.

Beige did a three part series on him. It's 3 hours total.

Speaking of Such Great Heights, does anyone remember John Fitch's documentary about the road to the title which was pending for about 6 years and then disappeared off the face of the planet. Cos I don't.

It's a real shame about Gilbert Burns too. He's 36 so not a spring chicken but his only recent losses are khamzat (unanimous decision but a hell of a fight) and to Usman. Giving him some marketing and getting him one last run would be a good move for a killer Brazil card. I think he'd handily tko Colby too.

The vibe on this forum when Robbie Lawler was ww champ was something else too. It was like everything came full circle.

As bullshit as it is, the more I think about Colby vs Leon the more I like the fight itself..Colby's style of pressure and grind doesn't suffer too much from not being super active lately. His style isn't reflex based or timing based or rhythm based

Are you all forgetting Colby's fights with Usman? Yeah he lost and got stopped in the second fight but he fought his rear end off
