Remember when he said conor was tiring out khabib by laying on the ground and getting punched in the face.

I have a friend who’s done some BJJ and he inexplicably had the same opinion. Just...what?

That rumor is hiding out with the one about Conor being mob-banned from Ireland.

UFC 235, T-Mobile arena

Khabib vs Tony (155 title)
Max vs Conor II (145 title)

Yeah?

edit: or if Conor knows he's not making 145 anymore, have that fight also be at 155 and that way we'll get khabib vs max when Tony inevitably trips over his own pants at the weigh in or something.

i dont think much of dominic cruzs commentary .. despite being a fighter his commentary reminds me of those types of online commenters who say stuff like He would have won if he put his hand there and then his foot over here and then twisted out of mount etc like theyre playing tekken. maybe he cant put his hand there because the other guys muscles are too big. you ever considered that. how big the guys muscles are. see how they glisten under the halogen

I like when dom is commentating a gassy heavyweight fight and he’s like “yeah but he’s just throwing 1 punch he needs to throw combos 4, 5, 6 punch combos” like he expects everyone to be a volume striker.

I get the feeling DC is on the outs a little bit. Rogan has referenced a few times where DC was good on the mic and commentating well but the truck was telling him not talk about stuff. Notable the staph infection and when he was going off for thugrose when she won the title.

If so it's a shame because he is easily the most fun to listen to.

DC’s made mention of a big opportunity he has that sounds like it’s not in the UFC. Though he didn’t name the UFC or Dana in his shitlist, I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s soured on the organization a bit and decided to take his talents elsewhere.

Does fighting in Russia really pay more than teaching BJJ somewhere if you're Fabricio Werdum? gently caress.

I hate when Dom commentates fighters that he's trained for like TJ or Barao because instead of commentating the fight he just points out the most minute idiosyncrasies and tells you what his gameplan would be. He treats it like it's a Gracie Breakdown type of video instead of live commentating.

I also would like to see that but Fedor is fighting in Bellator so that's not what "Fighting in Russia" means.

Sorry in my mind Chechnya is a different place from Russia and thus ACB ACA didn't come to mind.

Though I guess whoever is funding M1 is probably some kind of war criminal too.

If they don't make Khabib vs Tony, they have to make Max vs Tony because that would be insanely good.

You can get several variations on the article by going to any of the other Irish redtops, its gonna be dropped though, shes not talking. The entourage referred to in the article are the guys who attacked the bus with him, cian cowley, that guy golare bofando dropped on his head whose name I can never remember. Charlie Ward! And other cokehead dirtbags.

I know this comes off as typical GBS credulous idiocy, but I would have been a big Mcgregor defender and now I can only hope he fights khabib in hell, forever. Believe it or not guys, there aren't enough high profile Irish sportstars these days for it to be anyone else, let alone someone who travels with an entourage.

In fairness that was always bullshit, McGregor knows local hardmen and drug dealers from growing up, just like anyone else from his background. Choosing to associate with them now is another matter.

Commentators need to have excitement and some sort of charm/personality or else they add nothing for me. I don't need a guy telling me that Fighter A just got hit, because I have eyes. But when it's a guy like Rogan or Goldie who get legit super excited whenever poo poo happens in a fight it's fun to hear. If it's a robot like Anik it's just annoying to listen to

Yeah that’s my take. I don’t care how knowledgeable or accurate they are if they’re lacking the enthusiasm and excitement of Rogan/Goldberg/DC.

Anik is fine, he’s the stats and ads dude. Dom is mostly humorless and never seems like he’s having fun, that’s what bothers me. DC and Rogan always seem like they’re having a good time. Same with Felder. They’re happy to be there to call fights, Dom is happy to be there to prove he’s really, really smart guys.

Anik, Felder and Dom is pretty much my ideal booth for UFC. Dom's a little too dry to be the only color guy but I think he has good insight.
