Why do I dislike Ariel Helwani so much? I can't think of any individual thing he's done to make me dislike him so much, but I dislike him so much.

His coverage of the sport is steeped in sycophancy and then he turns around and cries when someone tells him he cant have his fake job anymore. He also cries when he reaches orgasm. His interviews are committed with the reckless enthusiasm of a nickelodeon "star" they let do the red carpet interviews for the kids choice awards as a joke.

max holloway owns and even though i doubt he owns enough to beat khabib on a few days notice, i hope he does because that would rule

Holloway winning that would quite possibly be the single best win in MMA history.

She should just get one of these but I guess it’s important that Pat feel like he brings something of value to the relationship, even if he is replaceable by a sweatband and some stretchy string.

There have now been half as many interim championships in two years of WME running the UFC as in the 20 years of the UFC having regular championships beforehand, and it would've been more if Romero hadn't been overweight.

Also, gently caress a Colby.

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.

1. You said solid wreslting base. Don't move goalposts just because your statement was so obviously stupid.

2. Who are these elite wrestlers at 155? If RDA doesn't count then it's Khabib, Keven Lee and crickets.

You sure do get heated real easily. This is the second time you've jumped on my poo poo for something loving stupid and I'm already over it.

I definitely could've phrased it better in that I meant elite wrestlers. I'd like to see him matched up with Eddie or Gaethje. I'm sure this makes me the stupidest person ever but I honestly don't care at this point since I'm sick to god drat death of arguing with you.

A true renaissance man



Part 1 of my 2018 comes true.

Unless my memory fails me, interim or not, this is the first time in UFC history that a champion has moved to a new division and succeded in fighting his way to a title shot. Every other time a champion or former champion has fought for a title outside of his weight class, he was given that title fight in the divisional debut, or he never got a shot at the belt.

You could retroactively count Cormier's heavyweight record to his title shot. Same dudes are in the top ten.
