It's old favourites refusing to hang them up being dismantled by mostly shitheads, new favourites being forced out by refusing to be exploited, and all that's left are the dregs. I couldn't even tell you who is to really go for beloved fighters now that aren't like Bobby Knuckles who is years and years removed and after the mauling he suffered... Max Holloway is lovable and Dustin Poirier is alright, but yeah they're both past their primes

Is Max actually past his prime? He’s still putting together good performances. He just can’t beat Volk. Disclaimer that I don’t remember the Arnold Allen fight that well.

Anyway I just meant that they aren't up and comers

He looked better vs. Allen then he did vs. Rodriguez or TKZ, but he's looked a bit shot in all his recent performances IMO. Slightly shot Holloway is still one of the best FWs, though, he's just down from his personal peak.

Unperson_47 posted:I loving love Johnny Walker and I don't care if he ever wins another fight. Johnny Walker really had the right gameplan there for a while in his last fight. Using his range, had some very good kicks and stayed kick oriented for a majority of it but just couldn't put any finishing touches on anything. He's going to be a killer on the B circuit but it's looking like he won't achieve any success in the UFC against the top blokes

You've got people believing in flat Earth, lizard people, and having views that wouldn't be out of place in 1860 but they're all loving dull "I'll fight whoever they put in front of me" wastes of time.

Welp, my coach, Robert Dunn, is fighting in the prelims in Unified 55, and everyone was excited that it'd be on Fight Pass. But it seems the prelims aren't? On the off chance anyone knows of a (legal) way to purchase the PPV in the USA, I'd appreciate it.

Prelims don't seem to be airing anywhere. And I already see results for them on twitter. And sadly it seems the main card is only via FightPass. All the posters say exclusive

He got knocked out in the first round; in the highlight he's fighting south paw for some drat reason and a sloppy right hand comes through his guard and clips him right on the chin. If he'd been in the same stance but in orthodox he'd have blocked the right hand. A gym mate says he made that decision to open up his kicks but what the fuuuuck.

mewse posted:CBC is predictably disgusted with strickland but they also call Dana out for lying Well, at least some places aren't shying away from describing his hateful bilge. I know Du Plessis is a white South African who publicly stated he'd become the first "real" Aftican champion and justified his idiocy by saying Ngannou, Adesanya, and others trained elsewhere in the world, so he loving sucks for that. But... was his assholery imited to that inter-African beef? I realllly don't want to start googling those sorts of things cause I know I'll see other results that will infuriate and depress me.

EDIT: Found the quote “As far as I know, they came to America and New Zealand. I’m going to take a belt to Africa.” “I’m the African fighting in the UFC. Myself and Cameron [Saaiman], we breathe African air. We wake up in Africa every day. We train in Africa, we’re Africa born, we’re Africa raised, we still reside in Africa, we train out of Africa. That’s an African champion, and that’s who I’ll be.” It's super tame really but Adesenya thinks you can't be from a place if you have a skin colour he decides is wrong.
