It was fun while it lasted and he still earned ten times as much from one fight than he would've gotten from the UFC, so he wins, but still disappointing.

Funny thing about that is they aren't even referring to MBS when they say that. It's a member of the Royal Court who is charge of the boxing side of their sportswashing

Everyone bends the knee to MBS. By world leader standards he's a piece of poo poo. By boxing standards he's just a regular promoter.

I'm sure he's got one more big money fight if he wants it. And unfortunately I suspect his ego will push him to risk the extra damage for another few million.

Grand Prix was good poo poo.

Rico is loving monster. He got dropped so hard form a spinning backfist and could have been finished.
Dude just has insane recovery to come back and get a 4th knockdown to win the Prix

Alexandre Pantoja, the Flyweight champion, is calling out Sean O'Malley, the Bantamweight champion, who is calling out Ilia Topuria, the Featherweight champion, who is calling out Islam Makhachev, the Lightweight champion, who has already called out Leon Edwards, the Welterweight champion, who has previously made it clear he would like to fight Dricus du Plessis, the Middleweight champion, who is...actually happy there! But Light Heavyweight champion Alex Pereira wants to fight interim Heavyweight champion Tom Aspinall, who just wants to fight anyone, at this point.

For bonus points, Women's Strawweight champion Zhang Weili keeps calling out Women's Flyweight champion Alexa Grasso and Women's Bantamweight champion Raquel Pennington is waiting for the winner of Holly Holm vs Women's Lightweight veteran Kayla Harrison.

Can Dana start treating champs who wanna go up a weight class (without vacating their current belt) the same as he treats fighters who say they don't wanna fight their friends?

Well, the nasty open sore on BSD's forehead that he assured everyone was a wound from a bullet casing was actually Staph like everyone thought.

Hopefully Poirier took a bath in antibiotics after the fight.

I remember how rough the recovery was from staph when I had it. It's insane to step into the cage against Dustin loving Porier when you're that compromised.

What a Monster.

Halfway into it, I was thinking, ok, I guess he's looking for redemption after getting taken down by Khabib.
But by the end, I realized he just has a Crocop level fondness for it as part of his takedown defense game.

Liz Carmouche and Juliana Velasquez will fight in the opening round, and then they will fight again in the playoffs, and then, after Taila Santos gets injured, the finals will be Liz Carmouche vs Juliana Velasquez 5.
