Everyone remember to make your offerings to the weight cut gods, the injury deities, and the commission nymphs.

There’s no SBG fighters on this card, right?

I like how when we used to be nervous about cancellations, we had to ask how many AKA fighters were on a card in case someone got injured by full contact sparring on top of a medicine ball 20 minutes before weigh ins, but now we have to ask if known SBG operatives have been reported in the area in case 17 UFC fighters and personnel are injured in a terrorist attack in Des Moines.

I bet theres a fan of every fighter. I've noticed, for example, that there's even fans of "Mighty Mouse" on this web site despite him being a toddler and coward. Just goes to show that people like different things I guess.

A Dillshaw Grabarnt rematch seems fine to me, the first fight was good to watch and despite the KO it swung back and forth a bunch. I don't want to see a Cruz rematch & TJ was ducked by the other option so w/e. Lets see if Cody tries to dance in this one too.

Somebody actually put forth Dominick Cruz as deserving of a title shot more than a Cody Garbrandt rematch when Cruz hasn't fought since Garbrandt clowned on him and is in the midst of yet another multi year injury layoff.

This layoff is voluntary too. Smart move to sit out 2 years, still be #2 and get an immediate title shot rather than get beat up by Jimmy Rivera or something.


And gently caress those of you who turn the MM thing into some struggle against the man. This isn’t some class warfare poo poo, it’s fighting. This thread was kicking rear end for years before anybody posted about PPV buys and draws, now that’s all you idiots talk about.

I want to see MM fight TJ because it’s a super competitive fight between two P4P talents. I call MM a coward because he’s ducking TJ in his own natural weight class, we’re not asking him to do anything crazy, just fight the toughest guy at your weight. He won’t be fighting the best version of TJ yet he still doesn’t wanna risk it. He’d rather fight guys way below his level (cejudo aside) and rack up his title defense record. In my mind Max’s steak is just as if not more impressive than MM’s, even though Max has only a single defense.

Cruz actually was supposed to fight Jimmie Rivera in December 2017 but pulled out with a broken arm, and hasn't been heard from since besides annoying Joe Rogan on commentary.

I never understood how someome could miss rolling blackouts or staying in lines for hours to get your weekly ration of a cup od sugar. And then someone posted the era of the MOBN Sprawl was prime posting.

Cody so instinctively clowns he was doing his in between rounds trash talk routine after he was back on his feet and TJ was going back to his corner to celebrate.

I haven’t been paying attention to the Embedded videos and whatever but this TJ/Cody fight has flown under the radar for me because it seems like there’s a lot less TAM related bad blood and homoerotic trash talk this time. Should still be a great fight though and I hope this time it actually goes longer.

yeah it's hard to take that position when he's so dead set against the fight lol but i still like the cejudo rematch. cejudo has improved drastically since his first annihilation, though i'm fairly certain he's got nothing that mm won't just figure out instantly and negate but it's still a great fight. sergio pettis absolutely deserves a title shot now so it's not like mm is currently in a cleared out division any more and tj / garbrandt still have marlon moraes and cruz waiting around. aljo and riveira too if they get a good win.

i wish they fought but yeah it may not happen for a while unless dana wants to open the wallet.
