Marcus Davis wasn't a lot of things. He wasn't very good at fighting, he wasn't a very good person, he wasn't very Irish. But he was certainly a real welterweight.

It's cool how Conor McGregor made me think this was a normal person sport now but in reality is still a carni operation catering specifically to the 'pantastic body' Asian dude but for a steroid-augmented Brazilian woman and there's thousands of them

I doubt anyone else was itching for it, but I have got the GDT covered for UFC 221. I came up with an idea for it and thought it would take forever since I had never heard of half the guys on the main card, but I've got it 95% done already. I'll put it up Friday evening or Saturday morning.

I am excited for this because the GDT's lately have been more thoughtful and entertaining than most of these cards. Which I don't watch.

I've only ever seen Israel Adesanya fight and never heard him speak, but I just watched this interview and he's got the right combination of confidence and extreme computer guy style personal uncoolness to make it big. It starts off with him talking about how he gave himself a nickname based on a children's cartoon and later he shows off his enormous Deadpool tattoo

It's a potentially hilarious fight.

Woodley is tailor-made to beat Diazes: Strong wrestler, solid chin, super-hard leg kicks, ability to stick to a boring gameplan despite mind games

but he's also brutally addicted to backing into the cage and waiting for opponents to attack him, which could get him liver-punched to death by giraffepeople who don't have higher brain functions to spark out

Woodley is a giant 170, Nate struggled terribly at 170 due to size and strength issues and only found success after returning to 155, stupid matchup of no interest to anyone. Woodley is welcome to fight Nick when he’s unbanned in (checks newspaper) four hundred years.

That won't be a problem unless Yamasaki is literally the ref again.

Well Cyborg beat Evinger decisively so the logical step is to have her fight a woman who got loving crushed by Evinger. (and whose first GIS result is Laura Sanko, who Evinger kissed in the ring).

They don't actually want her to lose.

Yana Kunitskaya sounds like the name of a prodigious figure skater and she will probably look like one while fighting Cyborg.
