Chris Weidman, who is 1-3 in his last four fights, believes a win over 2018 Jacare Souza "clearly" puts him next in line for a title shot? What percentage delusion/hype/poo poo division is that?

Christ, I just looked at the rankings, and he might actually be right. How is a dude who has fought three times in three years, lost 3/4 of his last four fights, and not fought in fifteen months ranked third in his division in the premier MMA fight promotion?

The rankings are not set by UFC, they are just an automated averaging of rankings submitted by these 14 people, and as far as I can tell they each take their sweet rear end time submitting so you'll see massive changes at random times depending on who's list gets updated. It's why Mirsad Bektic and Josh Emmett are both #8 instead of one of them being #9 (which is empty), if you look at some of the individual lists you will see crazy things like Anthony Pettis on the Pound-for-Pound rankings or Cris Cyborg being #4 on it for a certain voter.

Turns out she didn't run enough to make weight, Eubanks weighs in at 127.4 with the hoop.

she's 0-2 for making 125 right?

If you only count TUF Finale and UFC, yes. If you count regular TUF, then she's 3-2. Also a fight against Chookagian in some local org but who knows about that.

Im just saying shes only made "championship weight" one time. She came in around 126 for the others, which is fine, but doesnt show you can actually be put in a title fight

I'd say at this point there's a list of things showing you can't put her in a title fight.

I took it as Ben mocking Sage for his unnatural "sleeping" position that is solely designed to showcase his biceps to whatever sheikh Sage's dad is pimping him out to tonight

Oh I guess, I didn't assume he was sleeping when I saw it because of the headphones.

Also he appears to be travelling with 6 bags so looks pretty likely he's going to ONE.

Some of the random Fight Night guys don't even make enough money to not have an extra job on the side

Dude, Germaine de Randamie has a full time job and had to beg her boss to take extra time off to be able to adapt to the Denver altitude, because usually they're only cool with her taking fight week off.

Also I probably spend more time watching Twitch than anyone in this thread and I don't give a flying gently caress about ONE's (or DJ's) game related efforts until they actually show what the gently caress they're doing, which is probably never since this type of thing fails a lot.

I do however want to see if DJ is able to be dominant at ONE or if their 125 division is stronger.

She also ducked the only fight in her career where she would make enough money to not have to work for a little while, so I feel no pity for her.

It sounds like she's getting a bad deal and if the UFC makes a boatload of money that still doesn't prevent them from giving her an equally bad deal.

You don't have to be Ninja or Tim to make decent money streaming. MM has a big enough twitch base that he probably makes 5 digits a month just off subscriber count, which is only one revenue stream out of dozens and doesn't even include his other career as a fight guy

I've never seen MM fight but people called him pretty great for a long time and I figure they're right

He has 26 emotes which likely means he has 26 emote slots which means his peak subscriber count was 1200-1399 which means even if it's currently 1399 he's making just about 3500 bucks a month from subscribers.

UFC Web Site: Rankings page is fine because you can just scroll down a bit and its pretty much like it was before. Schedule page for upcoming events is fine, maybe a bit better. I don't like the front page, but I think I'll get used to it, because every big sports web site seems to be going that way, and I got used to ESPN.

When you click on an event to get the details, I really hate it. It used to have every match in one nice neat page, now the card is split up into 3 sections and you have to do a lot of scrolling.

Rankings page no longer shows the organization each of the voting panelists belongs to. But yeah not being able to see an entire fight card all at once is the thing that's actually upsetting.

I suppose ufc.ca is one letter less to type in than .com so as long as they don't gently caress with that one I'm cool with both versions existing.

The problem for Mighty Mouse in eSports is that a decent amount of his appeal was that he was a UFC champ and his problem in the UFC is that he had no personality to sell.

Now he's in a field where personality is the only thing that matters and he doesn't have a UFC belt. So he's probably fooked in the sense of being one of the ridiculously successful streamers.

You seem confused about a lot of things, but I'm only going to address the things that I think belong in this thread.

DJ will be fighting in ONE Championship, just like he was fighting in the UFC. In addition he will be in some capacity helping them in other non-fighting fields where they are choosing to spend obscene amounts of money, nobody has any details about what this means yet.

Ok so I'd like some opinions on this, if Cowboy was in the Lightweight rankings where would he be? Because he said they offered him a 155 fight next and it seemed like it was going to be Gaethje, but now I'm less sure.

So what's the verdict look like on this Argentina card this week

I've never heard of a single fighter on it which I guess is normal for a Fight Night but two of the main card dudes don't have pictures or wiki articles which is probably A Bad Sign

Does this event have any chance whatsoever at being decent

It looks like they are no longer updating pictures for the old site format, the new (currently American only?) site has pictures for all of the fighters except for Staropoli on the prelims, and Pinedo and Dos Santos on the early prelims.

As for the thing you're actually asking, I agree with you 100% which is why it's probably going to turn out to be a night of great fights.

Khalil Rountree is a beast and everyone should watch him fight.

Hahaha NOPE, but the dude's name is Sergei Pavlovich so you can tell where he's from without even looking it up.



He's fought a handful of times in FN/FNG so by all accounts he has no idea what he's in for, I think overeem is going to destroy him.
