Jon Jones was promoting his grappling match with Dan Henderson and said that he would like to grapple a heavyweight next, since obviously people won't give him credit for tapping out a middleweight.

Anyway he easily tapped out Henderson and true to his word, immediately called out Chael Sonnen.

One of the film's that Rousey took time off from the UFC to make, Mile 22, has now been put on hold as the filmmakers have begun to doubt her acting ability

Imagine how bad at acting you would have to be to not act well in an action film.

"you killed my father, now you must die" scowls directly at the camera

Gina Carano did a full action movie but she was so bad at actoring that the director just like talked over her while her mouth moved like kung pow and now she's an action movie mainstay. You can grow and improve

Lets not forget that she was picked by Steven Soderbergh for that full action movie, a man who also cast Sasha Grey in the lead role for a film that wasn't about how many cocks you can fit in Sasha Grey.

MMA fighters see the success of WWE people in movies and assume acting is easy. Nobody would mistake wrestling for oscar bait, but they do like two live shows a week every week. If Narcos was performed live twice a week, I guarantee you see a big drop in quality.

You know, we still don't really know if Mickey Gall is any good. He crushed a photographer, a pro-wrestler, and a boy model. I'm still not sure if he's worth a gently caress on the feet even though his grappling is definitely legit.

this is good because i really like mark and i think overeem could take him down and gently caress him up at this point

He always could, its only since he lost 40 pounds and started listening to his corner that he realised there's more to fighting than walking towards your opponent with a smug look on your face and getting knocked out.

Aldo always gets misreported by American MMA media so maybe he actually said he was offered a nice BLT sandwich in the UFC canteen but there was no lettuce that day and Aldo was like "what the gently caress how can there not be lettuce for a BLT I'm off to play soccer and box but probably not either also Brazillians in Jersey told me how to not kick Frankie cheers obrigado seeya""

Gotta wonder if this is just more Conor baiting brinkmanship from the UFC. Especially with Nurmy being offered the fight just like he was offered Alvarez that time. Give Aldo the FW belt then offer him a chance to get another belt and take the shine off Conors achievement by doing the exact same thing a few months later.

Joe Rogan prides himself on not preparing whatsoever and compared to guys like Stann, Hardy, Florian and Dominick it shows.

They need to stop relegating Hardy to the cards nobody gives a gently caress about in Hamburg on Fight Pass and at the very least get him on the PPVs too far for Rogan to bother with. Speaking of which, now that Goldberg is going, the English Goldberg that they normally partner Hardy with must be fearing for his job.
