Time for the  postWe’re returning to the monthly guest recaps for February as the holidays were recently and it was a bit rude to expect people to do any extra work during that time.If you are interested in doing guest recaps please PM me or hit me up in some manner and I’ll get back to you ASAP. No worries if you don’t want to do it, this is just to spice things up a bit. December Recap To start the month off, the UFC hosted UFC on ESPN: Hermansson vs Vettori which overall was not a bad card. There were some nice and impressive finishes from up and coming talent like Jamahal Hill with his TKO victory over OSP. Matt Wiiman was slammed into unconsciousness and when he came to had decided his MMA career was over, ending the longest active roster member’s time in the UFC. In the main event Marvin Vettori put on a masterwork of a performance. Vettori made good on his late hour scheduling to being the main event thanks to both Darren Till & Kevin Holland pulling out of the fight. Vettori’s nonstop pressure and aggressiveness kept Hermansson on the backfoot for most of the fight, earning the Italian a Unanimous Decision victory and arguably his biggest win to date. Next the UFC hosted their lone PPV for the month, UFC 256. This was probably the best PPV you could put together with what talent was available and the little thing known as a pandemic going on. All the fights are worth watching and so I’ll just simply recap the results since I could take up an additional two or three pages talking about them. Cyril Gane TKO’d former UFC Heavyweight Champion Junior dos Santos, Rafael Fiziev KO’d Renato Moicano impressively, Kevin Holland got a very freakish and scary KO win over Ronaldo Souza, McKenzie Dern outscored Virna Jandiroba, Charles Oliveira put on his best performance to date with his decision victory win over Tony Ferguson, and in the main event we got probably one of the best Flyweight Championship fights ever when Deiveson Figueiredo and Brandon Moreno fought to a Majority Draw. Go watch this card, it was great top to bottom with only one “eh, don’t need to watch this” fight in the middle. The final card of 2020 was UFC Fight Night: Thompson vs Neal. This was a good card overall. Anthony Pettis won his fight and with that also finished his UFC contract and opted not to renew. He is now headed to not Bellator to join his brother, but to fight in the PFL’s 2021 tournament season. Marcin Tybura did a great thing by TKO’ng noted woman beater and comically inept cheater Greg Hardy in their fight. It is only shameful in that Hardy seemed to not really have been hurt badly enough. Former Bantamweight title challenger Marlon Moraes’ attempt to get back into title contention was derailed after suffering a KO loss to Rob Font inside the first round. Michael Pereira and Khaos Williams (yes that’s a real name) put on a fight that I don’t think anyone thought was quite good but also not horribly boring. Jose Aldo got another win when he beat Marlon Vera, sadly derailing Vera’s momentum from beating Sean O’Malley earlier in 2020 and setting him up as a potential title challenger. Aldo took the fight via Unanimous Decision. Geoff Neal and Stephen Thompson put on a good back and forth fight in the main event and it helped show off that Thompson could actually put on great fights, it just really depends on who his opponent is to do so. Thompson wound up with the Unanimous Decision victory after 5 full rounds. UFC events in January January is going to be a light month with events. The UFC is heading back to Abu Dhabi for more Fight Island shenanigans and gaudiness but then again Dana White put out a promotional video about his genius in putting on UFC events during the pandemic and it was pretty dumb and openly highlighted which journalists talked negatively about that idea. So, you know, UFC isn’t super smart. First up on January 16, 2021 is UFC Fight Night: Holloway vs Kattar which is criminally a fight that will be on ESPN+. This is Max Holloway’s first non-championship fight since December 2016 and the UFC decided to put him as a headliner on a calendar filler card. They’re stupid. Anyway this fight should be good to see if Holloway is still a top fighter following his fights with Volkanovski, or if the rest of the division has caught up to him in the form of Kalvin Kattar. The rest of the card is not so strong and it kinda rationalizes why these two are the headliner but like….seriously this is Max’s first non-title fight in just over 4 years. Then on January 20, 2021 the UFC will be on ESPN with UFC on ESPN: Magny vs Chiesa. This was a card that was meant to have Leon Edwards and Khamzat Chimaev headlining but that fell through thanks to COVID and really at this point we shouldn’t be surprised the UFC doesn’t care its fighters keep getting sick. Neil Magny and Michael Chiesa are filling in as the headliners and the rest of the card features a few notables but remember, this can all change last minute: Matt Brown is fighting Carlos Condit in a 2009 era throwback fight. Roxanne Modaffieri is fighting on this card  . Which sums up the whole card. Again, could’ve put Max on this card and at least it would have been better than putting him on an ESPN+ card.  Finally the UFC will hold its last event in January on January 23, 2021 with its PPV for the month UFC 257: McGregor vs Poirier 2. This is a rematch between McGregor and Poirier when they were both young up and coming fighters in the Featherweight division. Now that Khabib is retired it’s widely believed they’ll use this as an opportunity to set up the winner of this fight with someone else for the title should Khabib’s retirement stick. Also on the card that is of note is Jessica Eye taking on Joanne Calderwood, and Khalil Rountree Jr. taking on Marcin Prachnio. The rest of the PPV seems a bit weak the lower you go down it. Current Champions  Men's Heavyweight Champion - Stipe Miocic(20-3) A veteran for 9 years in the UFC, Stipe has amassed quite an impressive resume. After a series of winning streaks halted by a lone loss, Miocic eventually worked his way up to a title fight with then champion Fabricio Werdum and shocked the world with his KO win becoming the new UFC Heavyweight Champion. Miocic would then go on and set the record for the most UFC Heavyweight title defenses at 3 because the UFC Heavyweight Championship must have a curse or something. This would then lead to a Champion vs Champion bout between then UFC Light Heavyweight champion Daniel Cormier which Miocic would lose. He then sat out for a year lobbying for a rematch which he eventually got 13 months after losing the title. While Stipe lost his first match with Cormier via KO, he avenged that loss with a KO of his own and reclaimed his Heavyweight gold. Another year would pass and Cormier and Miocic would face off for the third and final time, which would also presumably serve as Cormier’s retirement fight where Miocic’s clinch control and awareness of Cormier’s game plan would lead him to another title defense beginning a new bid to set the record for most title defense wins. Miocic’s next opponent is likely one he has already faced and defeated in Frances Ngannou though that still is not official.  Men's Light Heavyweight Champion - Jan Blachowicz (27-8) Poland’s Jan Blachowicz pre-UFC career was mainly a string of beating up European MMA fighters until being called up to the UFC. Things didn't go well for Blachowicz losing 4 of his first 6 fights in the promotion. Eventually though he found his groove and would string together wins and even avenging a few of his early losses in the UFC in rematches. It was when he fought and lost to Thiago Santos that things seemed to have changed. Blachowicz admitted the loss made him better and more focused on his fight game. He was relatively not a top end contender when the UFC matched him against the former UFC Middleweight Champion Luke Rockhold. The viciousness of Rockhold’s KO loss that night sent the clear message that Jan was not to be overlooked and thanks to a pair more wins that immediately followed, he was clearly a top challenger for the UFC Light Heavyweight championship. When Jon Jones vacated the belt the UFC put Dominick Reyes and Jan against one another to determine the new champion. Many assumed Reyes, who arguably won against Jones in his last outing, would simply claim the vacant belt. Much like the Rockhold fight, Jan’s power and focus made it abundantly clear that he was not to be anyone’s stepping stone. Now the UFC Light Heavyweight champion, Jan’s first title challenger is unclear but there has been talk that Jones’ planned move to Heavyweight may be postponed so the two can finally meet inside the cage. It was announced recently that Jan is going to have his first title defense against reigning Middleweight Champion Israel Adesanya.  Men’s Middleweight Champion - Israel Adesanya (20-0) A native of Nigeria, New Zealand’s Adesanya started his career not with MMA but with kickboxing and amassed a significant record of bouts throughout Asia and Australasia. Adesanya even made an appearance in Glory Kickboxing before moving to MMA full time. Debuting as an undefeated fighter, Adesanya simply kept collecting “scalps” (as he puts it) until he was facing off against the Middleweight Division’s best. With wins over Derek Brunson and Anderson Silva within his first year in the UFC, the brass decided he and Kelvin Gastelum would face off for the Interim Middleweight Championship. This was arguably the best fight of 2019, if not the best Round of the Year. With the Interim Belt to his name, he was set to face fellow Kiwi, but Australian based, Robert Whittaker in a showdown. Fittingly in the same arena that Adesanya was in the nosebleeds to see Holm KO Rousey, Adesanya KO’d Whittaker and took the Undisputed Middleweight Championship home. In his first defense Adesanya did not waste time aiming to clear out the division and fought against Yoel Romero. While this fight arguably was lackluster, it was clear that Romero’s prowess for chaos was at least stifled by Adesanya’s awareness and ability to not get caught. Next Adesanya defended his title against a fellow undefeated Middleweight in the form of Paulo Costa. Many believed this would be at least a greater test for Adesanya than before and yet Adesanya put on a picture perfect performance with a 2nd round TKO win. Adesanya is now booked to move up to 205 lbs to fight Light Heavyweight Champion Jan Blachowicz for reasons that are beyond comprehension.  Men's Welterweight Champion - Kamaru Usman (17-1) Debuting in 2015 with The Ultimate Fighter: Blackzilians vs American Top Team, Kamaru Usman quickly showed his belief in his own self and mental toughness was a trait you could easily identify about him. Following the TUF finale, which Usman won, he would then go on to amass more and more wins against the Welterweight division’s top fighters. However Usman’s performances weren’t as eye-catching as others in the division, and yet he was there easily dispatching his opponents. Following wins over Demian Maia and Rafael Dos Anjos, Usman served as a replacement for Colby Covington against Tyron Woodley for Woodley’s Welterweight Championship. This would be Usman’s standout performance of his career, easily controlling and just beating up Woodley for all 5 rounds to earn a lopsided decision. Next Usman was put up against Colby Covington who had already begun a campaign to challenge for the belt. Usman again put on a fantastic performance and shut Covington up by breaking his jaw. He was then expected to face fellow teammate Gilbert Burns but Burns contracted COVID19 and a last minute replacement of Jorge Masvidal was chosen. Again, Usman’s hard work and ability to grind his opponents down served him yet another victory. Usman’s next opponent is still believed to be Burns.  Men's Lightweight Champion - Vacant The shadow of Conor McGregor held sway over the UFC Featherweight and Lightweight divisions for nearly two years. This was the setting for Khabib’s rise to the top and eventual championship. Nurmagomedov debuted in 2012 and simply went on a tear beating ever increasing and different styled opponents with his patented wrestling and clinch control. It wasn’t until UFC 223 that Khabib ever came close to a title, and with UFC 223’s insanity let’s just say Khabib got a lot of exposure and sympathy a lot quicker. Khabib went on to fight several more times going up to a 29-0 record. However with the recent death of his father, his win of Gaethje being his first fight camp without his dad, he decided to hang up the gloves and return home. What most people are probably going to expect is a Dustin Poirier & Conor McGregor rematch being for the vacant title because Conor never actually lost in his mind and thus is still the actual champ.  Men's Featherweight Champion - Alexander Volkanovski (22-1) A former rugby player who pushed 200 lbs, Alexander Volkanovski’s athleticism has been a key factor in his UFC run. The Australian native entered the UFC with a 14-1 record and, much like his fellow champions on this list, just kept winning until he was facing off against former title challengers in the form of Chad Mendes, who he TKO’d, or former champions like Jose Aldo, who he beat via decision. With his winning ways he then saw himself across the Octagon from UFC Featherweight Champion Max Holloway. In a 5 round tactical battle, Volkanovski earned the upset win and dethroned the surging Holloway who had been undefeated at 145 for a good while. It was only fitting that Volkanovski then give Holloway a chance to win the belt back and the 2nd fight was just as exciting as the first. Suffering an early knockdown, Volkanovski was able to recover and eventually work out another decision victory setting Holloway off the Featherweight mountain for the foreseeable future. There has been no set contender for Volkanovski at this time.  Men’s Bantamweight Champion - Petr Yan (15-1) Russia’s Petr Yan entered the UFC with a bang thanks to a first round KO win. His notoriety had put Yan on some fight fans’ radar but it wasn’t until he had a pair of wins over John Dodson and Jimmie Rivera that people really begun to take notice. With those wins, Yan was paired with former WEC Featherweight Champion and UFC Bantamweight title challenger Urijah Faber in what many believed to be a true test for Yan. Within 3 rounds Yan held a prized KO win over Faber and saw himself become a top contender for Henry Cejudo’s championship. That was until Cejudo vacated the belt and then Yan was paired against Jose Aldo for the championship. Yan’s superb striking against an always game Aldo became more and more a factor and eventually Aldo succumbed to strikes midway through the fifth round. Yan’s next challenger is likely to be Aljamain Sterling but that is not official as of right now.  Men's Flyweight Champion - Deiveson Figueiredo (20-1-1) Deiveson Figueredo debuted with the UFC in 2017 and immediately set the Flyweight division on fire. He picked up 4 wins quickly and then faced off against veteran Jussier Formiga. This would be a losing effort for Figueiredo but an important one which Deiveson learned from. Following the loss he then picked up a win and was pitted against former Flyweight title challenger Tim Elliott who Deiveson quickly tapped in the first round. With the Flyweight Championship vacated by Henry Cejudo, Deiveson saw his name on the marquee opposite former title challenger Joseph Benavidez. However Figueiredo came in over-weight and although he picked up a TKO win was ineligible to win the title. A rematch was then booked 5 months later and this time Deiveson had no issues with his weight. In even quicker fashion Deiveson choked out Benavidez and claimed the UFC Flyweight Championship. After Cody Garbrandt tested positive for COVID, Deiveson faced Alex Perez in November and won easily, so easily the UFC decided to rebook him for December to face #1 contender Brandon Moreno in the main event of UFC 256. The fight was a great back and forth affair that was hard to clearly judge either way, so much so that the ringside judges opted for a majority draw meaning we will see Moreno and Deiveson showdown one more time to determine who is the actual better fighter hopefully some time in early 2021.  Women's Featherweight Champion - Amanda Nunes (20-4) Having claimed the UFC Bantamweight Championship, Nunes would go on a winning streak while the Featherweight division sat under the control of Cristiano “Cyborg” Justino. When the two were eventually paired for a Champion vs Champion bout at Featherweight, many assumed that Nunes likely could win, but it wouldn’t be that easily. Boy did she make us all eat our words on that one. Nunes KO’d Justino in less than a minute and became the first Two Division Champion for the UFC’s women’s roster and also the first female Double Champ. From here Nunes would bounce back and forth defending her Bantamweight and Featherweight titles, most recently in Featherweight where she beat Felicia Spencer. The next title challenger is expected to be Megan Anderson, but that has been delayed.  Women's Bantamweight Champion - Amanda Nunes (20-4) Following her third fight in the UFC, a loss to Cat Zingano, Amanda Nunes seemingly changed everything about her fighting style and went on a tear in the Bantamweight division. She would pick up wins over title challengers like Sara McMann and top title contender Valentina Shevchenko. This thrusted her into a Bantamweight Championship match against reigning champion Miesha Tate at UFC 200 which saw Nunes easily win in just three and a half minutes. Following this she would welcome former champion Ronda Rousey back to the UFC, and simultaneously retire her as well. A rematch with Shevchenko and a win over Raquel Pennington saw Nunes quickly become a top champion in the division. When she was put into a Champion vs Champion bout against Cristiano Justino, we all just assumed she would be undersized and yet she surprised us again with a quick KO. Since then she defended her Bantamweight title twice against Holly Holm, who she KO’d, and Germain de Randamie and then went back to Featherweight being the only truly active multi-weight champion defending both her titles. Nunes is taking her next fight at Featherweight while Bantamweight tries to figure out who is up next for The Lioness.  Women’s Flyweight Champion - Valentina Shevchenko (20-3) Debuting as a Bantamweight, Shevchenko’s skills were easily notable in the women’s division. However key losses to Amanda Nunes at UFC 196 in a non-title bout, and then later in a title bout at UFC 215 would see her return to the Flyweight division which she had fought in during her pre-UFC days. A fight against then champion Nicco Montano fizzled when Mantano couldn’t make weight let alone the fight due to illness and was stripped. Valentina then faced former kickboxing opponent and former UFC Strawweight Champion Joanna Jedrzejczyk for the vacant belt which she won. Since then Shevchenko has been on a tear with KO and TKO wins over Jessica Eye and Katlyn Chookagian and a decision win over Liz Carmouche (who Shevchenko lost to prior to the UFC). Shevchenko then faced and dispatched of Jennifer Maia and now we are still trying to find someone worthwhile who can take on Shevchenko as a legitimate challenger.  Women's Strawweight Champion - Zhang Weili (21-1) Zhang Weili made a name for herself in China’s MMA circuit before being picked up by the UFC. With a quick succession of victories over Jessica Aguilar and Tecia Torres, Weili looked to be the Chinese star the UFC could put their marketing efforts behind and they did so when they put her against then Strawweight champion Jessica Andrade at an event in Shenzhen, China. Much like Andrade quickly earned a KO win to claim the belt, Weili returned the favor and claimed the championship becoming China’s first UFC champion. In her next outing she would face former Strawweight champion Joanna Jedrzejczyk in an all out war that earned FOTN and also left Joanna looking seriously deformed thanks to significant hematomas. With Rose Namajunas, another former Strawweight champion, returning and picking up a win over Andrade, it seems like Weili will likely face Thug Rose next to cement herself as the greatest Strawweight Champion in UFC history but due to COVID its unsure when that would even happen.. As always, if i forgot something please let me know. Mekchu fucked around with this message at 03:30 on Jan 2, 2021 |

There were a bunch of (steroid using) professional weight lifters who gave their opinions too. If you google "Israel Adesanya steroid" there are like 20 stories written about it, plus another 40+ youtube videos. Chael gave his opinion. I don't know, I thought there was almost universal consensus at the time that he was using steroids. Most of UFC's elites do, it makes fights more exciting when they juice. e: make that almost all of professional sports athletes use PEDs, not just UFC.

For what its worth a lot of fight journalism isn't exactly the be all and end all of sports journalism, and while its vastly improved these guys simply don't have the reach like some organisations do that cover other sports. The biggest names outside of ESPN that cover it (and they're gentle as hell) are all online where guys survive off clicks. Guys like Ariel and Luke Thomas have always been pretty antagonistic with promoters and promotions and more favorable to fighters where they can be too. I could absolutely see them not digging too deep into the story simply because they know it could kill a guys career. Luke Thomas in particular has been pretty open about his feelings on USADA testing being pretty wrong in MMA because of how harsh the penalties are. I guess what I'm driving at is there's not enough competent guys with the reach to break a story like this and the ones that do exist aren't motivated to do so. The other thing is burning bridges. If you're seen as in the fighters' corner you're going to get more access and therefore more exclusives and more stories and you're better off maintaining that reputation for a decade than burning it for a story that'll get a weeks media cycle.

To anyone doing high end athletics it's basically common sense to use PED's (in ANY super competitive sport) and I'd be utterly loving shocked if anyone in the top 10 of UFC didn't use PED's at some point. It's so easy to get away with and the benefits are incredible I mean if you take PED's your chances of escaping white trash hell increases, your chance to become rich & famous increases, your chance to avoid injuries and fatigue increases and your chance to be the guy who beats other guys up infront of thousands of people instead of the other way around increases. Of course these people take PED's. When Diaz said "everyones on steroids" it wasn't a Diaz-ism, it was the straight up truth

He lost that last fight, but he looked drat good right up until he lost,” White said of Hardy’s performances. “He’s done very well here. I didn’t expect him to possibly stick around this long, especially in this heavyweight division. There’s some nasty guys, but he’s done very well.” that fight where he gassed out in one round and looked like a dying fish on the ground proves he's our next big prospect, and I meanwhile have nothing promotionally to say about the winner, whomever that may be

Theoretically, the guys in the heavyweight division are nasty Practically speaking, the guys in the UFC heavyweight division that Greg Hardy has beat are a combined 6-7 in the UFC If you include Crowder, who beat Hardy by taking an illegal knee, and Sosoli, who Hardy beat until he was caught using an inhaler, that mark goes to 6-10 Hardy has fought 3 people with winning UFC records, and lost to 2 of them. Not counting the Hardy fights, they are: Tybura 7-5 Volkov 5-2 Greene 4-2

They USED to connect the Fight Pass backend to the UFC.com backend, but I just tested it and it looks like when they redesigned Fight Pass the other year they decoupled them. So now UFC.com still has a password reset page you can still get to but no way to log in, and Fight Pass has a way to log in but no way to reset your password. So you have to log out, then tell them you forgot your password, then go through the email recovery process and reset it.

Eat This Glob posted:Khabib vs Gaethje is up as a free fight if you haven't seen or or want to watch it again you should watch it again. it's crazy how khabib just eats gaethje's best punches, the same ones that put a complete stop to tony's whole game, and just keeps going forward after half a second of resetting. it's unfair, really.

It's sort of important to remember there's no drug testing in hollywood when guys transform like that.

Chris Pratt: “woah, boy got jacked. Nice.” Kumail Nanjiani: “HEY NOW steroids are bad and we should be worried.” I wonder what the difference is between these two fellas. Hmm.
