Then I was checking wikipedia and saw that she fought de Randamie to a decision last year. I know I watched it but I have no recollection of it. de Randamie is still terrible and nobody cares about her.

Don't remember fights don't enjoy anything. GDR loving owns, she works a full time job basically her whole MMA career and trains on the side while only losing to Amanda Nunes and Julia Budd (who herself only has loses to Nunes, Rousey and now Cyborg). She also owns because she told Dana to take his belt and shove it when they wanted her to fight Cyborg.

IIRC de Randamie actually had some success in the stand up so Nunes went to a grappling heavy strategy and she was unable to stop the takedowns at all.

I'm going to go way out on a limb and say that she probably does not believe her favorite politician is saying or threatening to do what the rest of us have heard. Cage fighters are not typically known for having carefully considered and researched political opinions.

Noted scholar Joe Rogan is the most influential philosopher and ambassador of this great sport. When he is the capo of the MMA intelligentsia, it seems fair to cut Amanda Nunes some slack.

Also, "rich athlete supports person who will give them rich-person tax cuts regardless of their other policies" is a pretty common thing.

Bolsonaro had the Trump thing where a lot of people acted like the fascism was just for the poors and idiots and all that would really happen is that numbers would get good. So it's probably some form of that which got her to support him. Don't know if they helps.

UFC fight night in a couple of weeks is headlined by Dustin Poirier vs. Dan Hooker, co-main is Mike Perry vs. Mickey Gall. PMP had this to say in response https://twitter.com/PlatinumPerry/status/1269739963446427650

PMP has lost 5 of his last 7. I would be suspended he got a comain, but being a name that people recognize more than qualifies someone for that.

Throwing mickey gall to PMP is cruel imo, but I guess he needs the win for stats reasons.

Hopefully Mickey has to fight with a muzzle so he can't bite his opponent again

I'm going to sit down tonight for a few hours and watch the last two events - any spoiler free recommendations on fights to watch or skip?

UFC 250 was good top to bottom, don't skip any of it. As for Woodley vs Burns, I don't remember anything being really boring, but if you're short on time you can probably skip the last two fights of the prelims (Welterweight, Women's Flyweight). Some would probably say the co-main heavyweight bout might also be skippable but I think it's still worth watching. Even with those I'm gonna grasping at straws though, my actual recommendation would just be to watch both events in full.

Man I use both those guys as barometers of how out of touch I am because every time I hear their name I'm like "yeah those guys are pretty good, wonder if they've finally put together the title run" and then I look up their record and remember it's not 2011 anymore. e: wait both of them are retired and story hasn't been in the ufc since 2016, am i being whooshed

I'm just talking about the fights though, I'm not saying you should sit there and watch all the dumb promos and poo poo as if you're watching live, those were just as dumb as usual if not dumber since they can't fill time by showing celebs in the crowd and poo poo like that.

https://twitter.com/JonnyBones/status/1270064894751039490 It's too bad the UFC put a gun to his head, made him sign that contract under duress and didn't cut him during all his legal issues. Wait.
