This is probably the dumbest shit a high level professional fighter has done in decades.

And yes I fully grasp the gravity of that statement.

I hope he enjoyed having more money than god while it lasted, the lawsuits alone are going to cost him a ****ing mint. Consider this for a second, 50 cent had to pay a 5 million dollar civil penalty for leaking a ****ing sex tape.


Chiesa's lawsuit alone is going to blow past that number. When all the stunned **** had to do if he was mad about his boy getting slapped around (after his boy chirped Khabib for whatever reason) was wait for this fight with Max to finish, tell Dana to make the ****ing fight with Khabib and that you want it in Dublin. When Dana comes to after he blacks out due to multiple cash orgasms, the fight gets made for like August-September and you get a chance to knock him out for a massive bag of cash.

But nope, I'm going to get coked out of my tree and throw shit at a bus full of fighters who didn't have shit to do with this. I've got the over/under in lawsuits at 20M, or about what he would have made had he done it the right way.

He’s a meathead but he does love Ireland so I suspect keeps most of his assets there which should shield him from a torts law judgment. That said A losing judgment would end his us fight career.
 
Holloway out now because he can't make weight in time

Pettis now trying to cut to fight Khabib

Not nearly as interesting fight, but as a big Max fan I'm glad. He would have gotten mauled badly.

The video appears less serious than it actually was because it was pure WWE. We've become desensitized to backstage brawls, and attacking limos with garbage cans. But when you consider that this was not staged and a human actually decided to walk into his place of work and do that its just insane. And he didn't even get to confront Khabib.

Apparently, Khabib and his team cornered Artem Lobov and slapped him around a bit at the fighter's hotel earlier in the week.

All this stuff disrespects the sport. They've worked so hard to be seen legitimately. The new owners probably love it.

I dunno...kinda sounds like the XFL to me
 
Title fight was off because the NYSAC wouldn't allow Iaquinta to win being 0.2lbs over the limit

Dana says **** it and if he wins he will get the belt but won't be allowed to officially give it to him until after the fight

The athletic commissions are one of the biggest problems in combat sports.

155.2 vs 155.0 is no real difference at all. I'm cool with the fighter who doesn't make weight (within a reasonable limit) sacrificing a percentage of their purse (as long as it goes to the fighter who made weight) as compensation. But this strict adherence to miniscule amounts of weights during the cut is ****ing dangerous for the fighters. Making an already de hydrated fighter try to lose a few more ounces of water weight is way more dangerous than sending a guy up against an opponent with a .2 pound weight advantage.
 
This card went to shit pretty quick.

I hope Iaquinta pulls the upset and knocks the f*ck out of Khabib.

Go JOANNA

The rest... foh
 
Go Joanna?

You're cheering for the chirpy one who has blamed everyone aside from herself for getting dummied in the first go around? And not cheering for the one that hasn't chirped, hasn't trash talked, and keeps staring straight into Joanna's soul without saying a word every time they're in front of each other?

Is there anyone more cringe worthy when they open their mouth in the UFC than Joanna? Covington maybe, but it's a short ****ing list.

Khabib is going to maul Iaquinta, but good on him for taking the fight like this and saving the card. Dude should have a legit shot at the title if he pulls off the miracle, **** NYSAC.

Only other thing really interesting tonight imo is Zabit. Dude looks like he might be a superstar waiting to happen.

The Zabit/Bockniak fight was ****ing outstanding.

Zabit either needs to add some steam on that striking, or improve his conditioning to be a 5 round championship contender though. He wasn't able to put this kid away (never even really hurt him), and he gassed hard in the middle of the 3rd round. You can point fight your way to a belt, but you need to have a 5 round motor to do it.

His technique is incredibly good. Top 5 in the UFC, hands down.
 
Rose probably up 2-1 on rounds, but she really needs to start looking to take this fight to the ground where she's got the heavy advantage.
