Happy new year.

Who's your early pick for fighter of the year?

Khamzat, if only by virtue of probably winning the belt and beating Israel on the way rather than having a high number of stand out wins

I too wish for a controversial Muslim force to defeat Israel.

god i think it was the first fight with barao where he landed something like 30 odd unanswered punches before the ref called it off. i remember pausing and counting them and it was something like 32. absolutely crazy. those two fights with barao were some of the most brutal beatings i've ever seen. it's rare to see a champ get absolutely embarrassed.

Wonder what gave Barao a worse beating, TJ or the bathtub.

It's not the most likely outcome but Joshua getting splattered is definitely not unlikely.

He could've paid more. Like all of it.

25k is 25k sure, but also, if you take his word for it and he's worth 500 mil, it's 0.005% of his net worth. There's literally no reason to be impressed by the super-rich giving amounts of money that is large to you or i, probably, and literally nothing to them.
It's the same as you giving 2.5 dollars if you have 5000 in your bank. That 25k's probably coming back in interest alone inside a month.

dana on UFC 300: “This is just going to be a type of card we’ve never done before. Every fight is a must see fight.”


indirectly suggesting that most cards have some poo poo fights on purpose

Maybe not the most efficient way to learn:
- the UFC censored Makhachev’s message of Palestinian solidarity out of a rebroadcast, and ESPN/Disney just let it happen
- there were LGB chants at Toronto, lol


a right wing freeze peach advocate going "free speech! but not like that!" is one of the least surprising things on earth.

Jon Jones has been back and been champ for 11 months now? Where has the time gone

He's not even had the courtesy to entertain us outside the cage by being an incorrigible poo poo like usual

Dana & Vince still in a sprint to the bottom even after a merger.

Still not convinced Vinny Mac is winning that race.

Buddy you should really read that affadavit.

It was not a "vince is not that bad" statement.
