[Andalusian girls]

my card was closer but high level stuff from Usyk and Fury, slava Ukraini

[Krandor]

Tyson Fury has retired for the 3rd time

[Gryffes]

Tyson Fury has retired for the 3rd time

Until he gets bored and decides on a $50m payday vs joshua at wembley.

[Krandor]

Flipping through r/mma looks like Tony Ferguson, Chris Weidman, and Alexander Gustafsson have all been removed from the active UFC roster.

[Rhyis.]

still my boy

[Dimmauk]

Kind of an early stoppage for Izzy. He is 35 and he might be done

[Andalusian girls]

ye Izzy on the cusp of done. still has the skills but Imavov doesn't hit that hard and he stunned Izzy with the uppercut in the first then bamboozled him with the overhand in the 2nd. dude is 100+ fights in, punch resistance/reaction time seem to be at the end.

[Xno Kappa]

Had no idea there was even a card today.

[Mertron]

disregard, cocks

[Celeras]

Topuria vacated to move up, Volk vs Lopes at 314 for the belt. Props to Ilia for not holding up the division, just give him Islam straight away IMO.

KO'ing Volk> Max> Islam (plus someone like Oliveria in between Max and Islam if necessary) would be in contention for the greatest run ever.

[Rhyis.]

I mean, nobody likes the guy but Jones defeated 5 UFC champs back to back to back to back to back

[Andalusian girls]

Volk Max Islam would be the greatest 3 fight run in MMA history by far

Jones got the nicest record in MMA (even had he a Reyes loss on his record as he should) but it's tainted by being the biggest documented violator of steroids in UFC history. and only Cormier is on the level of the 3 Ilia opponents. Shogun maybe but dude got toasted by 3 knee surgeries before Jones and it showed.

old sports argument eh, consistent endless winnin longevity or briefer higher peak against better comp.

[Andalusian girls]

BUT

Ilia needa beat Islam to get there which is a huge maybe. exponentially better grappler than anyone Topuria has faced

[Andalusian girls]

remembered for once the Abu Dhabi start time business for Bivol-Beterbiev 2

this fight with Zhang against German bro is a heavyweight slobberknocker

:: Kabayel with the body shot knockout a round after getting up off the canvas

[Dimmauk]

Does anyone still watch UFC?

[Andalusian girls]

i think Pereira forgot he could throw punches, good gameplan by Ank tho

[Celeras]

Does anyone still watch UFC?

Monster Hunter

Seeing the highlight start with Pereria standing for a decision made me sad tho. But the King Green highlight made up for it a little bit

[Xno Kappa]

He’s gonna be running the place if it’s at sea level.

I’ve lost a ton of interest. I’m sure they’re all very talented but these Eastern European fighters names all blend together. I can’t remember who’s who in what division anymore lol

[Krandor]

I just straight up don't care anymore unless a really big card comes around.

But that's far and few between due to them running events basically weekly at this point, leading to most cards being super watered down with a bunch of random fighters I've never heard of.
