stop the fucking fight, cornerman, your dude is fucking done and is about to be killed.
Barboza would beat Tony in a rematch where he isn't illegally knocked out half way through. That rematch should be for the interim belt. I think he's still recovering from surgery though.

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.

There's that footage of him backstage at one of the UFC Brazils warming up, and his coach is visibly wincing even with a huge target between them.

How exactly did Fox and the UFC agree on the quality tiering between numbered PPVs and FS1/Fox Fight Night events in the first place?

'it turned out that the division we made for you is a joke, and the spectacle with evinger measurably worsened our product. we are paying you less now. this is not a negotiation.'

that's what i'd like to think happens but for real there are a whole big bunch of weirdos who love that freak and she is probably somehow worth money.

hahaha i remember how she dropped evinger with a jab, obviously allowed her to recover, then carried her for two more rounds

Yeah, Cyborg managed to win a really one sided fight but do it so badly that it somehow lowered her stock. She really is a one of a kind athlete.

Also, confirming that she does have a bizarrely devoted fanbase.

if you looked at cyborg vs. evinger and was seriously impressed with cyborg's ability to crush her and started extrapolating that to mean 'invincible' then yeah you might be a weirdo

Holly Holm has a gas tank, I honestly pick her to beat Cyborg. She's canny and rangy enough to dance around and avoid getting swamped, and could pick cyborg apart from the outside and tire her out.

I'm not watching it though because I can't imagine it being entertaining for a loving second.

on the contrary i believe cyborg's aggression, though not as spastic as ronda's, might drag a watchable fight out of holm. it's the only 145 fight i am even remotely interested in because i too see cyborg losing. then we can shut down that stupid loving division forever.

if max wins, and he should, he has completed the featherweight division as far as i'm concerned. tkz would be a good fight if a one-sided one. other than that though who cares. the kid is a loving monster. superfights with garbrandt / tony would be cool but other than that??

I think it'd be a pretty solid argument he's the greatest FTW ever. I'm thirsty for that Conor rematch at whatever weight they're both comfortable at don't care about titles.

Theres an mma journalist mike russell who gets really fixated on stuff. Right now hes convinced frankie's manager ali abdelaziz did 9/11. I think maybe he was the guy who interviewed justin thacker, found out he had a mental condition that made him a compulsive liar, and then reported everything thacker said as fact without verifying anything. If so he is the world's most credulous man. However, i hope he gets frankie executed as a traitor
