The MMA thread

[lemmingjames]

Saw something earlier that the whiskey business is going really well for him, though ive also read that his whiskey is the dregs from Jameson or something.

He'll be back for the money though unless he cant get clean

[g4ry13]

Maybe he'll do a Rousey and go to WWE.

He's been struggling with MMA for a while.

IMHO he is copying mayweathers stratergy who retired so. many times. Improves your negotiating stance.

Hard to copy Mayweather strategy when you are not an unbeaten elite fighter with a genuine claim to be the best of your generation...im glad he is gone and hope he stays away, other than a very subtley gauged grasp of distance in the stroking game he will never be remembered as an elite MMA practitioner, for all his posturing he was one dimensional.

[MrJuice]

He's set people off talking about him and that's what he wants. He's a big brand and needs the publicity.

He can make a lot of money from fighting and I would put my house on him fighting again.

If he wanted to retire, he could do that without the announcement a la Prince Naseem. Just never fight again. But he wants the headlines.

Looks like Connor has been accused of a sexual assault, more than likely the UFC asked him to retire while it's all sorted out.

Can't say I have any sympathy for the fella, true or not, hope he gets what he deserves.

Dead or in jail by 45...

I doubt they asked their biggest cash cow to retire°

They just signed a guy who has actually been convicted of domestic violence:

Dana created a monster that is now out of his control.

[DocJock]

Another great card. Excellent finishes in all the main card bouts.

[Tony Angelino]

Garry Tonon with an excellent display in the One Championship. Going about his business in a really impressive fashion away from the spotlight of the UFC, made mincemeat of his opponent and never once appeared to look for a sub. Big things expected of this fella.

Go easy on me but what's Krav Maga like compared to MMA?

Krav is made by the Israeli army and meant to eliminate a threat and get away using anything from eye gouging, low blows and punching in the throat..

MMA is sport.

Dillashaw has popped.....

Yep, the details will be interesting, after hearing him on Rogan's podcast and all the stuff about how easy he found the cut and how gokd he felt at the lower weight I'm not entirely surprised to find it was assisted. Seems this savante strength and conditioning guy he uses is just an old school chemistry guy after all.

Details are out.

Dillashaw got on some Tour de France st: EPO.

[DocJock]

2 year suspension as well...

[Zarco]

Serves him right.

[DocJock]

There's an old YT video of him complaining about something in training, and his partner saying 'that'll be the EPO' so it's hardly a surprise.

[Aphex]

Holloway - Poirier and Gastelum - Adesanya this weekend

Strange reaction from his team, Ludvig and Callavita expressing shock and distancing themselves at the same time as giving him their support... I find it impossible to believe they didn't know given how close fighters are to their teams in camp, especially in this case.

[Zarco]

Yep. They blatantly knew and the rest of Alpha-male.

[VEA]

Wow...UFC 236!

[DocJock]

Gastelum v Adesanya was the most entertaining fight in ages.
