August 4, 20196 yr That was exactly what Covington said backstage when he was asked about it. I honestly had no idea about that story.
August 5, 20196 yr Have yall not seen him at events? Its pretty fucking sad. At one point he could barely walk.
August 6, 20196 yr Author Nope, fights Maia in October. Quote UFC welterweight contender Ben Askren was potentially one win away from a title shot entering his bout with Jorge Masvidal at UFC 239 in July. And in five seconds, that dream was over. Masvidal's flying knee earned him the fastest KO in the promotion's history and ended Askren's 20-fight unbeaten streak and chance to face champion Kamaru Usman for the belt. "It's not as bad as it was in the Olympics when I realized I wouldn't have another shot. This, I could have another shot," Askren said. "Nevertheless, you're talking about a goal of nine years in the making, and I'm one fight away from getting there against a guy that I chose. I blew it. My life's goal was to be the best in the world. I was this close." As a result, Askren will now take on Brazilian jiu-jitsu legend Demian Maia in October in Singapore. Some fans and media immediately criticized the fight as it pits non-strikers together. Maia is one of the greatest grapplers in UFC history, while Askren boasts similar accolades in wrestling. Helwani asked about those who "say there's a chance this fight is very boring." "I think there's obviously a portion of fans who like all parts of MMA, not just those who stand and bang," Askren said. "It's kind of a myth that that's all people want to watch. At the end of the day, I'm a non-stand-up guy, a boring wrestler. And I've also been the most anticipated fight on the biggest two cards of the year. So there's some type of myth in there."
August 6, 20196 yr Yeah, listening to the interview now. Saw a strange ESPN headline. Ben is right about listening to the Colby vs Usman chatter fight build up.

August 6, 20196 yr Didn't know this but apparently Covington and Masvidal are like best buddies, unlikely as it seems. If either one beats Usman, they'll have to fight each other.
August 6, 20196 yr Real life Colby is chill. He and Masvidal were roommates for long times. And they have gone on record saying they don't have a problem fighting each other for the belt. It's just business and significant money
August 7, 20196 yr I’m like 99% sure Colby’s thing is a gimmick. Like, he didn’t feel like he was getting the recognition he deserves, saw what Conor was doing, and decided to go full heel just for show. I’m sure he’s probably a trump supporter, but a lot of the shit he says just seems like an act. Because clearly that’s worked for him as of late. Masvidal seems like one of the realest dudes in the sport. If they’re close friends, I can’t see it being any other way.
August 11, 20196 yr Author https://www.instagram.com/platinumprincessofficial/ She’s kinda playing loose & fast with the words ‘tennis professional’.

August 11, 20196 yr Lol Mike Perry is a Legend, flicks off the crowd as he holds onto underhooks against the cage. Now the guillotine is squeezing all the blood outta Perry. He sucks but he's entertaining.

August 11, 20196 yr Fight night on ESPN, or what’s on tonight? answered my own question Edited August 11, 20196 yr by youdunnf'dup
August 11, 20196 yr Just now, Scraps said: ZZZZZZZZZZ wmma my dude Has anyone ever seen Carmoushe and Faber in the same room?
August 11, 20196 yr Lol throwing punches that are missing by 3' First punch that lands for Shev a knockdown
August 11, 20196 yr Carmoushe is under Eddie Bravo? Shev double underhooks body lock takedown. Carmoushe looks satisfied throwing heel strikes to the thigh and squeezing arms from the bottom. 3-0 Champ Shit fight so far. Hope Shev opens up this can soon.
August 11, 20196 yr Nice job of grabbing half guard from full side control. Other than that, fuck this fight.
August 11, 20196 yr Woooooooo counter spinning backfist drops mush. Damn Bullets timing is on point holy shit

Yeah the Champ has won every round, the challenger hasn't engaged enough to warrant any action. Anytime she finally gets in close enough she gets dropped by a perfectly timed strike.
August 11, 20196 yr Ole rubber guard. Classic 10th planet. Eddie is a douche and rubber guard is lame. That is all.
August 11, 20196 yr It isn’t letting me post the picture for some reason, but I’m seeing the nastiest fucking picture of Mike Perry’s broken nose. Jesus Christ. I don’t know if I’ve ever seen one look that bad
August 11, 20196 yr Eddie Bravo is somewhat funny, but annoying. The Rubber Guard is a good stall tactic.

Just like most new school fancy jiu jitsu, rubber guard is negated by good old solid fundamentals. I love how he disses the gi, but wears gi pants. His schtick is tired.
August 11, 20196 yr I came out to Gorillaz - M1A1 just to get my ass kicked. I don't know what I'm talking about. But as long as he's not preaching about Aliens on the Rogan Podcast, I find him so-so.

August 12, 20196 yr didn’t realize there was animosity between these two. I’ve always liked both fighters, but the Diaz brothers might be my all time favorite fighters.
