AJ fighting at maybe 5% until he decided to end it. I almost feel bad for anyone that spent money on that nonsense.

Joshua, a two-time heavyweight champion, was traveling in the back of a Lexus SUV on the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway near Sagamu, his ancestral hometown, when the vehicle was involved in a collision at around 11 a.m. local time.

Joshua was transported to a specialist medical facility in Lagos and is in stable condition, according to local government.

"The vehicle conveying Anthony Joshua, a Lexus SUV, was involved in the accident under circumstances that are currently being investigated," a statement from Ogun State Police Command read.

"He was seated in the rear of the vehicle, sustained minor injuries and is receiving medical attention. Tragically, two other passengers in the vehicle lost their lives at the scene."

Police also told ESPN that Joshua's vehicle hit a stationary truck parked along the road. It has not been confirmed which vehicle the two people killed were in.

"The accident happened as a result of a burst tire on AJ's vehicle, which caused the driver to lose control and the vehicle to swerve into the stationary truck parked along the road," Ogun State Police Commissioner Lanre Ogunlowo told ESPN.

Ronda Rousey will face Gina Carano in a 5 round MMA exhibition match streamed on Netflix on May 16th lmao

[Andalusian girls]

but why

[Anoat]

Money, I would assume

[Anoat]

Already seeing this billed as “The MAGA Powers explode!!!” lmao

(For those ignorant, the team of Hulk Hogan and Macho Man was dubbed “The Mega Powers” so their eventual confrontation was called “The Mega Powers explode!”)

This would’ve been an exciting matchup in 2013.

I miss how much fun this thread used to be on Saturday nights.

I still watch on Saturday if it on. But this place is a ghost town.

[Rhyis.]

I find myself watching 3 or 4 times a year now. Ain't what it was

[Krandor]

Too many cards so the individual shows aren't as good, the personalities are boring and/or crazy MAGA heads, plus general enshitification (plus the extra sprinkle of bonus enshitification from everything TKO touches)

Why tho, Ronda was a big Bernie bro iirc. Hope she whoops that ass to the extent that 40yo women are capable of lol

But yeah, streams get turned on at midnight nowadays for the one fight. Volk vs Lopes 2 (??????) is the perfect metaphor for what this has mostly become.

[Andalusian girls]

it's easier and cheaper than ever to watch legit with all events included in Paramount+, but ya the quality is so diluted with too many events and despite the UFC turning over bank not enough is going to the fighters. UFC making some extremely questionable roster decisions as well lately.

still great fights and great fighters in there but having multiple fight nights for every numbered card makes a lot of bullshit to sift through, and they're not dropping enough $$$ on talent to keep it consistently entertaining.

UFC Revenue Hits $1.5 Billion in 2025 with 57% Profit Margin, fighters rolling high with maybe 16% of revenue

it's competitive but the UFC might be the most predatory of the major sports organizations

[Krandor]

57% profit margin is fucking insane.

As a TKO stockholder I approve, but as a human being seeing how little they pay the fighters is fucking despicable.

[Rhyis.]

i remember seeing a study of this years ago and it wasn't even close to the other sports

u fight cheap has a been meme forever for a reason
