  1. The worst part of all this is the Turkish government released the detained Priest so you know there was some sort of payback to the Turkish government. Nobodies hands are clean in this. Everyone has blood on their hands. Us, the Saudi's, the Turkish government. Dirty tentacles just extend out in all directions.
  2. Yeah. Why make one fight when you can make three or four and milk it for a couple of years. I highly doubt Conor goes back to get crushed again immediately. If he does, people will move on to The Next Big Thing!!! Our society has a short-term attention span. Once you show that you cannot win they jump off the bandwagon so fast the local hospital emergency room overflows with ankle injuries. There is nothing so special about Conor that will hold him in the public's arms for a decade if he cannot win.
  3. Conor's aura is already dead. He milked his title wins into not fighting MMA for two years while getting everyone to believe his is a tough guy. The tough guy got clowned and shown to be little more than a loud mouthed bully. I said it before, Conor takes a can as his next fight to get some of the aura back. If he goes straight for the rematch, he becomes Chael 2.0 when he loses. If he loses to Diaz, count his career as over. Khabib gets a slap on the wrist and the UFC books him with Ferguson. Conor gets a slightly bigger punishment for inciting everything. I would not be surprised if there is a phone call between Dana and the NSAC regarding the UFC becoming what they said they did not want to be. Basically, the job of the NSAC is not to hand out punishments for you. Khabib-Ferguson Conor-can Then UFC can book Khabib-Conor 2.
  4. I think Conor will book a can for his next fight. If he books a rematch and loses, hello Chael 2.0. The allure is gone and so are the title fights. If he books Diaz and loses, see above. If he books a can and wins, he can claim that he is back and deserves a rematch continuing his trash talking.
  5. What scares me is that we have yet to discover the line in the sand that should not be crossed. Throwing a metal barricade and injuring fighters is not the line. I doubt what happened last night is anywhere near the line. Khabib gets a slap on the wrist and the UFC shugs their shoulders. We go on until something terrible happens and then stand around pointing fingers and wondering how we got here.
  6. Yup. They are all in bed with one another and we wait until someone gets seriously hurt so everyone can stand around shrugging shoulders like there was nothing they could do to prevent this. It is a serious black eye for the sport. Once they cashed out and hit the mainstream, the UFC just devolved into what they said they wanted to avoid becoming.
  7. What the NSAC should do is take the UFC to task for letting these actions build up and not rely on the NSAC and other athletic commissions to punish their fighters. The UFC has a formula, they are the good cop and the AC's are the bad cops. In the beginning, the UFC was seen as this clown sport where guys just pounded on each other. They spent years refining the sport and making others believe that it is anything but that. MMA was a sport where people of different fighting styles and nationalities from around the world can test their abilities against each other. The actions of the last few years, all in the pursuit of money, show that they have come full circle. UFC MMA is not a sport but an entertainment vehicle where what happens outside the Octagon is more important than what happens inside the Octagon. It is all just a show. Instead of random guys wailing on each other, they at least have similar weights at the weigh-in. Everything else is just the clown show they tried to avoid when they started.
  8. That's what happens when you don't fight for two years. I never bought into his antics. He parlayed a couple of good strikes and trash talk into a nine figure career. He has enough drunken 'friends' who will buy into his antics so he can pump PPV numbers for a few more years. Dana can talk all he wants but he is an enabler with no balls. You won't see him do anything more than the AC's hand out.
  9. Who was it that told me back in the Brooklyn incident that I was watching this all wrong for not enjoying the entertainment value? This promotion is no better than AAA/CMLL/WWE. Maybe Conor will take his career seriously now or maybe owning a pizza shop is in his future.
  10. If he ever wants to draw real heat, come to Philly and use that line in a promo. It will top Seattle.
  11. Khabib in 2. Conor's last MMA fight was 11/2/16 and I think it will show. It is one thing to train and another thing to actually fight in the Octagon. Conor will try and stay low to stuff the takedowns and get kicked in the face.
  12. re: Daniel Bryan **Hank Hill voice** That boy ain't right. ---- I have said this for years. Something about him is just not right. He fought surgery for years and fought to come back when everyone told him no. The guy was crazy enough to want to work in Australia and train people because he wanted to be a part of a scene. He comes back and returns to the moveset that got him hurt. His answers regarding Brie's botch showed that he just does not understand the business. It is not ok to hurt someone on purpose or by accident. When you are in the ring, you put your trust in your opponent to protect you and in return you protect them. Bryan does not seem to understand that. It is almost as if he wants to wrestle so bad, nothing else matters.
  13. Nice to see Murder Clown get the call. I hope he gets more work on Impact and LU. I see moves like this, the leap over the ropes into a forward roll before popping up for his dive, and I want to see more from him outside of his role as a big superheavyweight who just does power moves. https://twitter.com/murderelgrande/status/1047702144508284928
  14. He should have stuck the glove out and tried to push away.
  15. After reading his tweets, I don't think Bryan understands the problem.
  16. Dude was a Bond villain. He is a made man in the movie business.
  17. Here is a comp video. Inside the ring, she is fine. Outside the ring, you can see everyone is out of place. Either Charlotte needs to stop or they need to teach everyone how to take a bump. As a nitpick, her choice of where to do the moonsault outside the ring leaves a lot to be desired. In front of the announcers table and with the ring at you back is a bad choice for spacing reasons. You add unnecessary risk of injury.
