🚨Breaking News🚨:
Francis Ngannou has signed a 4 year $6,000 deal with Street Beefs that will make him the highest paid athlete in Street Beefs history. (Per
@arielhelwani
)
Valter Walker (25), younger brother of Johnny Walker just got signed to the UFC and will face Jake Collier Sept. 23!
He is an 11-0 Titan FC HW Champion who went to Russia to train his wrestling and never left.
This is him taking down his brother for no reason LOL
Henry 2, 3, 5.
If the UFC had ONE's rules, Cejudo would have finished the worst skilled champion in history within the 1st round.
Aljo uses being a "downed" opponent as his advantage knowing he can avoid damage with cheap tactics.
This fight proves why the rules need change.
MMA is the only sport where you will have fans rooting for foreign fighters to beat the hell out of their own nations fighters lol.
They rarely root for skin tone.
Personalities and stories matter in MMA.
I just realized nobody was complaining about Gane getting a title shot with a win over Tai, instead of Blaydes getting a title shot who is 7-1 in his last 8.
Nobody is complaining about Stipe either who is 2-2 in his last 4 fights with zero top 15 wins.
Alex Pereira is the only wrestler in the middleweight division with 100% takedown accuracy.
Statistically, Bo Nickal, Robert Whittaker, and Khamzat Chimaev are not better MMA wrestlers than Poatan.
When Alex retires will go down as:
2 division glory champ
2 division UFC champ
9-12 title wins across both sports
When Yan retires will go down as:
Russian Matt Serra
MMA has the worst striking critics there are lol.
This man has never analyzed Alex's glory fights to see how good Alex's striking defense compliments his striking.
Jiri & Jamahal would get melted. Their leg kick defense and vulnerability when blitzing is atrocious.
Apparently DDP has a background in kickboxing and was the first South African amateur WAKO K1 kickboxing champion.
In 33 of his kickboxing wins, he had 30 knockouts. (Per KSW commentary team).
Robert, Israel, and Alex better start praying his nose doesn't heal.
MMA Twitter Reaction: Arman vs JDM
Arman:
Dominates & TKO's 8-UFC fight Vet (12-3) who cracked him once, gets called trash by fans.
JDM:
Taken to hell by debuting UFC fighter (8-3), gets coped for by fans.
Cejudo's Resume:
- Beat DJ, 48-47 on global cards 3-2 till MMA hipsters cried robbery
- Knocked out TJ who used steroids to have an easy cut and better fight cardio
- knocked out 135 boogieman in his prime who was titled one punch man
- knocked out Cruz who only lost to Cody
I have left a lot of families sad like my sons, sister, and team is now, but he first time I loss in 2012 my dad got sick and I told him:
Dad how many times did I leave other fighters and their families sad, while we celebrated.
Now's our time to rethink, I'm alright. - Alex
Colby couldn't even beat these four, let alone Whittaker or Adesanya.
He gets put out cold by the men on the left, and battered for five rounds by the men on the right.
Jamahal Hill loses his next fight.
Not in shape, not training, and spending too much time on instagram and live events parading as the champ.
He doesn't care to be great. He just wanted to become champion.
Meanwhile Jiri is probably meditating butt naked on Mt. Everest

I don't think homophobia and sexism is subjected to MMA only. It's pretty normal in conservative males and minority communities (very religious).
NBA community wouldn't let up with an NBA player had a video leaked
Charlie Ontiveros, the only fighter to make his UFC debut vs Holland at MW (185) and drop 4 weight classes in his next fight to face Gabriel Benitez at FW (145).

Also in Asian countries there is still racism against other nationalities of Asians that are brown.
So in Korea or Japan, if you're Filipino, Indonesian, etc. you are seen as a person of color, and in all Asian countries there is idolization of white skin. Like all their celebs
Boxing records being seen as obsolete has nothing to do with record padding, which we have in MMA.
It has everything to do with there being 5 different rankings (WBC, WBO, etc.) and 3+ different fight promoters.
If boxing was organized (UFC), it'd get more respect/viewership.
Argue with me all you want.
We all saw opportunities where if Cejudo would have thrown knees while on top of Aljo, the fight would be over.
Aljo would've lost to Yan the same way as well, but the rules are outdated and Aljo uses them to his advantage.
Weak way to squeeze wins!

Context: Max says "if you don't think you're the best, you shouldn't be competing.".
It's a mindset thing. He will say he's better than anyone
One reign comes to an end as another reign begins.
Rivals across two realms forever tied to one another by greatness. They come from different roots , but from the same world.
Both will be written into history as legends. Both deserve respect.
🚨Breaking News🚨
Charlotte Powell has enlisted the legal services of Brazilian Lawyer Alex Pereira in her ongoing legal battle with UFC Champion Israel Adesanya.
Charlotte is seeking equal distribution after claiming the champion left her "Frozen like Elsa" (Per
@bokamotoESPN

@realruebenking
Volks "GOATED" resume:
Beat Max who has lost to Conor and Dustin 2x
Beat Zombie who is 3-3 in the last 6 years
Beat Aldo who is 4-6 the last 6 years
Beat Ortega who is 1-3 in last 5 years
Beat Mendes who was 2-3 in his last 5
@PetrVolkanovski
Yeah, ONE really ruined that. I watched 8 ONE fights and didn't see him once at all, so he must have been in the early prelims.
Really weird decision to ruin a probable retirement interview like that
Anik's commentary is so off for this Walker vs Smith fight.
Smith misses a right hand:
OHHH Smith cracked him with a right hand!
Walker throws an 8 strike flurry where Smith throws a right hand to counter:
Anthony Smith opening up with a right hand!

@Sa_Gwang
Severely underrated. He had a tough 3 days notice opponent with tons of veteran experience. Was undersized by 10lbs.
This guy is only 27. He will be champion one day imo.
In reality, a lot of no name fighters like Ryder are the Dan Hooker's of boxing.
Good fighters who will never be champion, but will be good contenders.
Is Dan Hooker, Brian Ortega, Pedro Munhoz, etc. as much of a bum as Ryder?
Hell yeah but we respect the UFC ranking process.
DDP finishing Rob was more impressive than Sean's decision over Izzy.
Israel was competetive with Rob, Jared, Silva, Marvin, Yoel, KG, and Alex.
But Rob cooked Jared, Marvin, KG, and got robbed by Izzy.
Don't count out Dricus.

Stipe and Colby are 3-2 in their last 5 five. Colby was an interim champ just like Gane, and he's getting a title shot on a 1W streak like Gane.
Gane didn't get the title shot because he's only had one title fight, he got it because the guy he lost to was no longer champion.

Technically, it supports her argument that Asians aren't POC since it was a term that emancipated slaves used and not Asians.
Mexicans and Filipinos were called painted people though, back when the Spanish colonized the countries in 1500's.
But these are brown skinned people.
2020 Deiveson Figueiredo was the best flyweight fighter ever.
If it were Demetrious or Cejudo standing across from him the night of either Benavidez fights, they would have been finished.
@TruthfulUfcFan
Reyes 1, 2, 3, 4 based off damage. At minumum 1, 2, 3.
Same with the first Gustafson fight which was a clear 1, 2, 3 for Gus.
Regardless, Jones is the GOAT.
More context:
DJ: Thinks Cejudo won 48=47, revealed he tore LCL and injured his foot against Cejudo. Leg kicks weren't as effective past R2.
TJ: used EPO to cut weight easier, have better fight cardio, still got knocked out.
Cruz: 5 week notice, already training for his return

The Woodley fight was the peak of Gilbert's resume. Not the Khamzat loss.
In this fight, he proved Woodley was done and that he had serious punching power and BJJ.
He also started MMA late at 26 and is about to be 37. Good fighter, but his prime was short lived at 33.
P4P list is goofy right now.
Give the long reigning champions their respect 🇳🇿🇯🇲! And honor the Islam vs Volk winner 🇷🇺.
The P4P list should be:
1. Jon Jones
2. Israel Adesanya
3. Islam Makachev
4. Alexander Volkanovski
5. Aljamain Sterling
People who call him a terrible person have a very limited exposure to what actual evil is.
Jon is a dumbass. He's not some guy with an intent to rob, kill, enslave, or rape people.
If I open a history book, I will see evil people. Not dudes who got drunk and hit their wife lol.
Why do people act like Alexander Volkanovski's 3 Max wins are all major wins?
If the UFC wanted they could let Khabib finish Dustin 3 times, but Khabib didn't need 3 fights to finally get an uncontroversial win.
