You know, Arlovski fights in 2018 are wonderful. I grew up being fascinated by the guy and the fact that he’s still fighting at the level he is is super loving Coppola. My phone corrected cool into that and I’m leaving it. Hail Arlovski.

Fighting RDA he would be, RDAs not gonna point fight him or shoot a million unsuccessful takedowns like the last 3 fights Woodleys had. When Tyrons not given space to be an enormous coward his fights are good. His right hand kills people, his wrestlings sick and hes extremely unlikeable. Making him the clear best champ on the roster.

RDA isn't a coward like Wonderboy so he'll actually try to win that fight.

RDA would get hosed up by Tyron. RDA isn’t big at WW at all and would get wrecked.

Also no one has laughed at CM Punk vs Floyd. Punk would get hosed up again by that.

Re Floyd's self assessment -- if there were a ruleset that was Muay Thai but no strikes from legs, I think Floyd would be fine. His clinch management and elbows would translate. Sadly I would pay to see CM lose to Floyd.

Based on CM's fight with Mickey Gall, his kicks are maybe a 2, so even doubled, Floyd has him soundly outclassed.

Cub's response was "Man shrugging (medium skin tone)."

He's at the point in his career where it no longer makes any sense than to fight for the biggest paycheque in any given fight. There's no more chance of a bigger one being around the corner if he accepts a smaller one now. He's never going to fight for a UFC championship, so he should probably go to Bellator or Rizin to either get paid medium dollars to fight cans or big dollars to fight good fighters. In the UFC he'll get used as a gatekeeper to build up the next guy, and probably get paid mediocre money to do it.

It's a real loving shame I can't get Bellator in any way, shape or form in Australia because apart from the nobody-level matches and the semi-retired freakshows, they're actually starting to have some compelling fights these days.

There's like this weird five year long ebb and flow of b-leagues and legitimate UFC competition where they pay well, attract UFC level talent, make no money, go bankrupt and lose their talent. And then the talent goes back to the UFC, some new company hustles some more funding, poaches some fighters and it starts again.

Or maybe this is a new thing developing as a response to the way WME is running the org. You emphasize money fights and people go looking for money wherever they can get it. Not that they didn't always do that to some extent, but it's become more prominent in the post McGregor era.

I've been an Arlovski fan since about 2005. He's always been my favorite fighter even though he should have retired years ago. Now I have to watch him be brutally murdered by Mark Hunt's cloning machine accident. I really like Tuivasa though. I'm just gonna skip it so I don't have to watch one of my heroes die.

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

Reebok, Joe Silva, WME... "the fastest growing sport in the world" may die after 25 years.
