I still don't 100 percent believe Thales Leites exists, yet here are insisting that Anderson Silva was actually champ.

I will enjoy when DJ eventually gets around to wrestlefucking Dillashaw into a fine paste and everyone who called him a coward jumps back on the bandwagon.

I'm sure the 50th time DJ does something really impressive, that will really convince all the people that were not convinced by the previous 49

Ngannou looks legit good as a prospect in a real weight division way, not just a heavyweight way so him splattering Overeem and then managing to do the same to Stipe would not surprise me in the least.

Neither would Ngannou getting smoked by Stipe. Him losing to Overeem at this point probably would.

First its important to note that the cops in Ireland will do basically anything they feel like doing. Someone could just want to watch the dude shower and they'd setup a full surveillance rig.

But yeah apparently the lightweight belt was defended in a pub in Crumlin last night, he slapped some coke dealer around or something. Nothing confirmed from the sources I've read. Sure the papers here will have something reasonably solid by this afternoon.

The UFC might be stone silent on McGregor saying homophobic poo poo but they'll have harder time covering it up when he's murdered by smack dealers.

Maybe they'll just paint a gorilla on Lobov and say he's Conor.

Keven's prediction was true, he's mastered MMA, fought the best in boxing, now he's going to be trying to be the best drug dealer while José Aldo starts dealing weed out of the back of his burger shop, trying to catch up.

I don't remember people getting this cheesed about GSP pretty much never wanting to fight Anderson Silva when they were both in their primes and champions in their respective divisions.

I guess the rules are different when you're smaller in stature.

Or black.

:facepalm:

GSP didn't duck Anderson at 170. MM is ducking TJ at 125. That's the difference. It's not race or height. It's because MM is ducking people in his own weight class. This would be like Aldo ducking Kenny Florian instead of whooping his rear end. IMO the champ or [recent] former champ of a given weight class is automatically a contender at a lesser weight class. Usually champs are happy to have champs from a higher weight come down to their weight to challenge them but DJ wants 2 million or whatever to fight anyone with the slighest notoriety. I like the guy and think he's an absolute class act but he is ducking TJ. Just hope it doesn't end up like Bisping where he ducks the credible contenders only to get embarassed by guys he is supposed to beat.

MM is great but he has never actually defeated a champion and he badly needs the TJ fight for his legacy. Otherwise he has the most title defenses ever but the quality of his win streak is actually not even as good as Jon Fitch's run to GSP where he beat legit killers.
