The Venn diagram of 'highly skilled, very dangerous MMA fighters' and 'huge fuckin nerds' isn't a circle, but it's surprisingly close.

"Hi, I'm awesomeolion."

I really enjoyed Sanchez vs Pereira. Sanchez looked like the younger brother who got wedgied one too many times and decided to fight back. Pereira was the overconfidant dickhead trying at all times to add clips to his highlightreel and failing. Highly recommend this fight if you didn't see it.

At one point Sanchez was sitting on the mat being useless and Pereira just stood up, did a backflip, and landed awkwardly before falling over.

I cannot stop reading about Sanchez's coach. Just keeps getting more bizarre. Apparently he got yelled at for attempting some kind of wood burning ceremony before the match and runs a drill where he chases fighters with a legit knife.

He's a bad fighter but a good MMA comedian so we should probably keep him around lest he get replaced by a bad fighter who is also boring.

A recently published list has shown USADA are still testing a handful of inactive fighters, including those not fighting as long as six years, and are surprisingly still under a UFC contract.

Aaron Bronsteter of TSN released the list on Friday. The list includes fighters such as former WWE star CM Punk, T.J. Dillashaw who is currently suspended by USADA, and former welterweight title challenger Nick Diaz.

I presume CM punk isn't allowed back until he pops for something.

Came here to ask what time it started since ESPN+ said 4pm est and UFC’s website said 7pm.

This card looks sweet.

Can’t wait to watch this one. Both fighters are underrated and I’m sure it was a performance.

I’m so loving psyched for Stylebender Romero and hoping Till gets the go-ahead against Cannonier. Middleweight is easily the most exciting division in the UFC right now.

Also Masvidal Usman better happen

The next two numbered UFCs are dreams come true for me. I really like where lightweight is sitting as well, stacked with talent. Most of whom would or has gotten wrestlefucked by khabib.

For sure. Feather through Middle has never been more exciting. For me it goes MW, Feather, Welter, LW. The top-five in all classes look like they have championship potential, but the champs all seem like a cut above.

Khabib Ferguson will be really exciting even if Khabib executes his gameplan flawlessly. I look forward to Stylebender outstriking Romero and seeing who the next challenger is likely to be all in one card (unless Costa somehow gets it). Probably the best card I've ever seen once you include the Boogeywoman fight, even with Whittaker out.

Yeah Hooker didn’t want anymore of Felder’s standup. Amazing push by Felder in those championship rounds.
