July 12, 20214 yr I don’t follow Muay Thai, but one would think this would happen with more frequency in that sport/martial art than in MMA.
July 12, 20214 yr 12 hours ago, BurdineBandit said: Conor needs Dustin to lose next fight if he wants to return to UFC. I don't see him taking a fight with Gaethje or Chandler or whoever else... he'll go fight a Paul brother and live Colby Covington's dream life. There's a big money fight with Diaz on the table before he has to go the Jake Paul route. Although it would be hilarious to see Diaz turn down a 3rd fight on the grounds that MacGregor is a pussy.

July 12, 20214 yr 15 hours ago, JohnnyRage said: Had he not been a cheater, along with being a piece of shit, he would have finished the round on the ground with an unbroken shin maybe ready for better things in round 2. And if Dustin hadn't put his toes in the fence, allowing him to climb up the cage, Conor may have sunk in the guillotine. Lotta ins, lotta outs. (Conor was going to lose regardless, he was losing on the feet and Poirier is much better on the ground.)
July 12, 20214 yr And if Dustin hadn't put his toes in the fence, allowing him to climb up the cage, Conor may have sunk in the guillotine. Lotta ins, lotta outs. (Conor was going to lose regardless, he was losing on the feet and Poirier is much better on the ground.)At no point, regardless of any toes in fences, was Conor going to sink the guillotine. The mechanics were wrong and Dustin knew he was in no danger.
July 12, 20214 yr If Poirier isn't up in the air on his toes Conor could've worked a lock on Poirier's lower body and moved him into the right position. There's a reason Dustin did it, and it's not because it just felt cool. Do I think Conor would've sunk it? No. Was Dustin cheating? Yes. It's what you do in a game. You do everything you can to win.

July 12, 20214 yr Not sure what the sticking point is here. Dustin Poirier cheated to get out of a choke that was almost certainly not going to work in a fight he was almost certainly going to win. Do you disagree with any of that?

Do you disagree with any of that?I am saying that regardless of his foot in the cage or not, he wasn’t in danger of Conor sinking that choke. Whether it’s cheating or not is really up to me.

July 13, 20214 yr Author First fight since January ‘15. This is kinda crazy. Quote Diaz and Lawler have a history that runs back to 2004. They met on the undercard of UFC 47. Diaz won via knockout in a highly entertaining contest.
July 14, 20214 yr Nick's was all weed suspensions, right? I also heard he refused to go on the TV show 'Blind Date'.
July 14, 20214 yr 8:33 mark on how he would fix/make changes to the fight game. Go back a little further if you want to hear the full car thief story.
July 17, 20214 yr My son started MMA, but he's still a few months shy of 6. So watching fights together having bro time is still not an option, I don't think. Any recommendations for classic non-bloody fights would be appreciated. Islam Makhachev, Khabib's protege, fights tonight. Edited July 17, 20214 yr by JohnnyRage Islam was not involved in the McGregor melee

July 18, 20214 yr Nice round, hard to call that one until that knee/takedown. Another tough round to call. Decent fight. Superb grappling to end it. Edited July 18, 20214 yr by JohnnyRage

But his throw and transition to the triangle is like poetry.
July 25, 20214 yr Dillashaw won a split decision that was really hard to judge. All 3 judges had it 48-47. Seemed like it was 2-2 heading into the 5th and the 5th was a toss up. Good fight. Nobody got robbed.
July 31, 20214 yr Author ESPN card on now. https://www.espn.com/mma/fightcenter/_/id/600007669/league/ufc/fightId/401337411
August 1, 20214 yr Anybody watching Fight Night with me? Strickland/Uriah has serious potential, I think.
August 1, 20214 yr i'm watching this fight that's on right now, and they're saying that this Rowe guy weighed in over the limit- so how does that work? you can come in over the weight and still fight?
