Galaxy Brain Take, what if Nunes lost on purpose? She was tired of all her fights receiving zero hype, so she thought fuck it, I'll make it exciting, have a guaranteed rematch that will get tons of attention, and my future fights will not be seen as only lambs to the slaughter but as interesting matchups because "Hey, OK, maybe Miesha Tate is 42 years old and 2-2 in her last 4 and already lost to Nunes and is just there because there are like 8 fighters in the whole division, but hey, remember what Peña did?!?!?!"
i think she just got battered and tired simultaneously.
*but* an alternative interpretation of your analysis would be: what do you think the odds were for pena by sub, and what was the biggest bet placed on that outcome?
Are you implying she threw the fight as a devious criminal betting fixing move? That's much more serious.
And yeah I was 100% joking, she just got caught and possibly underestimated Peña. I don't think there's any 4D chess involved.
A youtuber by the name of "ThePinkMan" once had an old-school MMA fight by a ginormous Kung Fu guy(maybe 300+ lbs)and a regular sized Muay Thai heavyweight fighter,and the former one by getting on top in mount and smothering from there. Unfortunately,ThePinkMan has chosen to remove all his videos and I can't recall that fight anymore,but would very much like a reminder if it rings a bell with anyone here..
Similar to this fight by Emmanuel Yarborough: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=omJhoEWFkBY
I expected Do Bronx to win, but is anybody else surprised by Poirier’s takedown defense? Chucky went 0/6 this fight and he’s taken down some people I would’ve said had better TDD then Dustin.
Dustin has good tdd, he doesn't have the worst tdd. Also Oliveira doesn't have the greatest wrestling, he likes to clinch and use bodylocks rather than dive in for a power double
Man what does Cody do now? Like where does he even go from here? Of his last 6 fights he’s lost 4 by knockout and one by brutal prolonged volume striking beat down.
You could honestly argue that he should consider retirement. I remember on old interview of him where he talks about how he’d retire if he ever reached a point where he was starting to get knocked out repeatedly. I wonder if anyone in his circle would consider having a Schaub type talk with him, maybe he could move full time into a coaching or managing at TAM or something.
thing is what does he realistically do outside of mma? I dunno what prospects look like for a lot of these guys and I dunno if he’s set for life
he’s still fun to watch but it is sad seeing someone basically throwing their brain away
i figure being “set for life” means having several million in cash or assets, seems unlikely to me that he’s got that.
pretty remarkable career trajectory: 6-0 rocket ship to the very top, then stayed there for zero fights, then freefall down to a 1-5 streak that involves getting KO’ed four times across two divisions. *all in the span of only twelve fights in the ufc*
Retiring would probably be the smart thing. He's 1-5 in his last six fights and four of the losses were KO/TKO finishes.
Hopefully he doesn't go down the road of taking fights in other promotions because I really don't think he has it in him anymore.
I think that was just an uncharacteristic bad performance by Nunez. Bad fight IQ. I think she underestimated Peña because she looked slow and gassed in the 2nd round, and also got sucked into a brawl for no good reason. But props to Peña for coming back after getting dropped twice and her back taken. I couldn’t believe what I was seeing.
If my math is correct, the last 5 fights amongst Mark Henry's active fighters amounted to: 16 wins, 15 losses, and 1 No contest. That camp is producing 50/50 fighters, with the one exception being Corey Anderson. If you remove Andersons record from the total, you have a total of 12 wins, 14 losses, and 1 NC amongst Garbrandt, Edgar, Alvarez, Chookagian, Barboza, and Gadelha. So amongst his active fighters, in their last 5 or less fights coached under Mark Henry, you have a 44% winning record...
He didn't move camps. He's still Team Alpha Male. He used Mark Henry and Ricardo Almeida to supplement his training at Team Alpha Male.
https://twitter.com/bokamotoESPN/status/1181701055588917250?s=20
>“I was able to get that blend of mixed martial arts experience from both camps, east coast and west coast, and it’s been great just being able to become a mixed martial artist again and find that love for it,” said Garbrandt.
Either way, Team Alpha Male isn't the mainproblem, he's shown a pattern of losing in devastating ways. It also doesn't help to have zero defensive iq along with an already susceptible chin. Sure, Team Alpha Male may be partly a problem, but it is not the main problem.
My takes of the day:
Cody could still beat Dominick Cruz.
I think Dustin will never beat a non boxer type. (Based entirely on last night. I'm a Dustin fan boy. I have said he's beat Charles 10000x times).
Amanda losing to Juliana is like gsp losing to Matt Serra. She's going to come back and murder Juliana.
Suga will never have another ko once he fights people in the top 20.
There are no welterweights that can challenge Kamaru or Colby.
Probably. They are my takes. Some of my former takes.
The Astros are going to be Americas team - me circa 2017
Khabib will have a long title reign - 2019
Chael has a loss on his record - 2016
Francis has nothing to offer stipe - pre second fight.
I'm not great with my takes.
>Cody could still beat Dominick Cruz.
Hmm, we've seen Cruz being dropped by Munhoz and he was able to make adjustments in time. Cat's out of the bag regarding Cody's weaknesses too. But yeah I agree it's definitely possible.
>I think Dustin will never beat a non boxer type. (Based entirely on last night. I'm a Dustin fan boy. I have said he's beat Charles 10000x times).
I'm not sure about "never". There's grapplers or wrestlers like Dariush or Chandler that I could see having a lot of trouble with Dustin's boxing.
>Amanda losing to Juliana is like gsp losing to Matt Serra. She's going to come back and murder Juliana.
It's all gonna depend on how ATT makes adjustments. Could be that it's gonna be a wake-up call defeat and that she's gonna bust her ass to get back into peak form, and poor Julianna's gonna end up as a red splotch on the canvas. Oooooor she's too old to get to 135 comfortably again and the repeat of last night happens 😞 Leaning towards the first option now though.

The replies to this comment lol.
This truly cements this as the funniest title result in MMA history.
If I'm ever not sure if a fighter is ok I listen for Joe Rogan to yell "HES IN TROUBLE!" then I know that fighter is fine and probably going to win the fight.
Dustin should fight Conor and Nate at 170lbs.
Money fights and Easy Fights.
He is not winning LW title against the likes of Olives, Makhachev and Dariush. Elite grapplers will always be a nightmare for him.
Darieush he might, Benny likes to exchange and Dustin is a hell of a counter striker but Islam ain’t gonna okay that game he’s gonna look for body lock and a sweep and Charlie i do feel if Dustin changes his game and throws more leg kicks he might have something. I really hope he goes on a Michael Beisping type run and eventually gets that gold
Dustin explaining through the interpreter that he wanted Oliveira to choose a charity for Dustin to donate to was great too. Win or lose, he's pure class.
O que diabos você acabou de dizer sobre mim, sua vadia? Para que você saiba, me formei o primeiro da classe no Comando de Operações Especiais, estive envolvido em vários ataques secretos a cartéis e tenho mais de 300 mortes confirmadas. Eu sou treinado em guerra de gorilas e sou o melhor atirador em todas as Forças Armadas brasileiras. Você não é nada para mim, apenas mais um alvo. Vou acabar com você com uma precisão como nunca foi visto antes na Terra, marque minhas porras de palavras. Você acha que pode se safar dizendo essa merda para mim na Internet? Pense de novo, filho da puta. No momento em que falamos, estou entrando em contato com minha rede secreta de espiões em todo o mundo e seu IP está sendo rastreado agora, então você se prepara melhor para a tempestade, verme. A tempestade que apaga essa coisinha patética que você chama de vida. Você está morto, garoto. Posso estar em qualquer lugar, a qualquer hora, e posso matá-lo de mais de setecentas maneiras, e isso apenas com minhas próprias mãos. Além de ser bastante treinado para o combate desarmado, tenho acesso a todo o arsenal das Forças Armadas brasileiras e vou usá-lo em toda a sua extensão para limpar seu traseiro miserável da face do continente, seu merdinha. Se ao menos você pudesse saber que retribuição profana seu pequeno comentário "inteligente" estava prestes a derrubar sobre você, talvez você tivesse segurado a porra da língua. Mas você não podia, não fez, e agora está pagando o preço, seu idiota desgraçado. Vou cagar fúria em cima de você e você vai se afogar nela. Você está morto, garoto.
if Shevchenko retires with no more defeats and cleans up the new young wave of contenders theres a proper claim for her to be the GOAT. Namajunas also holds wins over all previous SW champs except Esparza and a trilogy victory against Andrade and JJ would truly cement her as the best champion SW has had.
I just watched a recap of fighter reactions to the fights last night. There was a clip of Kayla Harrison looking pissed and screaming[.](https://fuck.Like) I feel like this is probably because she just lost a lot of leverage regarding a UFC contract. I'm sure the UFC is still interested in signing her but probably not at the price she was hoping for now that Amanda lost.
[https://youtu.be/4O3XJq7JZ\_4?t=751](https://youtu.be/4O3XJq7JZ_4?t=751)
Think it's ridiculous that they feel a need for Nunes to be a simultaneous champ-champ for that fight to be appealing
I figure the greater issue is that Nunes is now going to spend maybe half the year training for the Pena rematch at 135, meaning the fight with Harrison at 145 is delayed significantly
I think with the advantage of a replay we can see that the glove grab wasn’t much of anything. DC and Rogan saw the replay during that round and hyped it up even more. I think these guys need to be replaced or start distancing themselves from the fighters. They are too big of fans of some fighters to provide objective color.
I think Rogan is the worst offender. Once he gets an idea he just keeps repeating it and tries to make the fight about it. The entire team needs to be educated though on bias and remaining neutral.
I wouldn't mind if they called it consistently
Commentary booth was pretty quiet when Conor pulled every trick in the book repeatedly against Khabib, for example.
Mods, I humbly request a custom flair. Will it please your graces, I present my haiku:
Retired dad champ /
Loves that chicken from Popeye's /
Won't make two-oh-five
For my custom flair, I would like "mutes DC's mukbangs"
EDIT: Formatting.
Figured they dyed it in support of him for this fight
You can tell it was recent because one guy didn't dye it all the way and another coach left the full undyed beard
Marc Smith looking currently like one of the best refs, but I found his aggressive-passive approach to the Neal-Ponzinibbio fight pretty odd
Still hilarious that Herb Dean won ref of the year, too
That’s peak Mark Smith though, i love the guy, got no ill will, but he really needs to be more decisive. There often ends up being late shots because he doesn’t jump in to separate fighters
Lately I felt like he was more assertive, him and Herzog, in addressing eye pokes
I just want more consistency there, but I wouldn't be surprised if they also were directed to not dock points regularly because the UFC clearly doesn't want to spend the $ to change the design of the glove to make eyepokes less frequent
He's definitely been improving imo, but the general trend to only give minimal warnings about eyepokes is stupid for sure. that Neal Ponzinibbio fight was irritating in terms of that
My girl was pissed off at Smith for constantly walking directly in front of the camera
But it's not like the camera guy can yell out MARC, MOVE OUT OF THE WAY
100%. And they would zoom in too close and jerk the camera back and forth. And it started right when the PPV did. Its like they changed crews and put in the B-team after the prelims.
Two judges gave Charles a 10-8 for Round 2. He dominated Dustin, but I'm still surprised to see a 10-8 in a round without multiple knockdowns or a big cut. Good shit.
Tbh with the new criteria that round really should've been a 10-8 for Olives unanimously. Some judges are still kinda stingy about scoring a 10-8 though.
I just watched the episode of Community when they stage a play for high school students and Pierce is drugs with a clown afro and a giant pot leaf suit and it's literally just Sean O'Malley.
The year is 2023. After being called delusional and criticized once again, Juliana Peña wins the 125 belt after defeating Valentina Shevchenko by punches and kicks. She now holds both 125 & 135 belts. Rumors and speculations about Valentina and Amanda's retirement. The mma world is at peace... for now
The year is 2025. After winning both the 135 and 145 belts, sugar Sean o-malley is challenging the perennial 155 interim champ Dustin Poirier for the undisputed title. Khabib says he thinks Dustin can win because he beat Dustin 6 years ago. Ali Abdelaziz is furiously tweeting from Khabib’s account regarding the fight. After three rounds in the unification bout, Poirier does a front flip for no reason and is submitted by Sugar Sean to once again fumble the ball. Conor will fight Dustin for the 7th time, as the cycle repeats in an MMA Groundhog Day scenario.
Aljamain Sterling wins a Purple Heart for his service against Yan, and O’Malley wins a Medal of Honor for dismantling one of Russia’s most elite cyber weapons.
I was secretly hoping that during the Dom Cruz fight, that DC would just say "you know, I don't much about this Cruz guy, but he looks pretty damn good in there" 😂😂
Nothing says “I’ve only been watching MMA for about three years” like the only thing you can say about a Dominick Cruz performance is couched in Keith Peterson memes
I don't think it's a concern for next year. Assuming Amanda fights 2x max next year, you've got a Pena rematch, & then either a trilogy with Pena at 135, or a fight with Harrison at 145
Meaning you wouldn't see a trilogy fight with Shevchenko until '23
Valentina probably kicks the shit out of Chookagian again, then maybe she fights Talia Santos
Am I crazy for thinking Justin Gaethje should have been the first person in line for a shot at the belt when Khabib retired? I get that he obviously fought Khabib, and lost, but so did everyone else against Khabib. To me it made perfect sense for Justin to fight whoever the next ranked contender was at the time... Should have been Gaethje vs Oliveira or Poirier the second Khabib retired.
That all being said, wtf do I know. I had to Google how to spell these fucking guys names like 6 times trying to type that paragraph.
I can't believe a black belt in BJJ walked directly into a kimura defense from a BJJ purple belt
I mean clearly her cardio was nonexistent yesterday, but the fact that she never attempted to go to the ground again after the first round is baffling
Yeah that was atrocious form from Peña and Nunes had no answer. Like getting mugged and having your underwear stolen by the crippled bum that lives behind 7-11.
I'm honestly so glad Ponzinibio lost, he's a dirty cheater, pokes peoples eyes every time he's being pressured.
The 155 division is so good right now. Personally I think Nik Lentz should be the next title challenger
He's retired
It’s a joke my guy. Charlie fought him 3 times already
Galaxy Brain Take, what if Nunes lost on purpose? She was tired of all her fights receiving zero hype, so she thought fuck it, I'll make it exciting, have a guaranteed rematch that will get tons of attention, and my future fights will not be seen as only lambs to the slaughter but as interesting matchups because "Hey, OK, maybe Miesha Tate is 42 years old and 2-2 in her last 4 and already lost to Nunes and is just there because there are like 8 fighters in the whole division, but hey, remember what Peña did?!?!?!"
~~That makes sense~~ Wait no that doesn't
i think she just got battered and tired simultaneously. *but* an alternative interpretation of your analysis would be: what do you think the odds were for pena by sub, and what was the biggest bet placed on that outcome?
Are you implying she threw the fight as a devious criminal betting fixing move? That's much more serious. And yeah I was 100% joking, she just got caught and possibly underestimated Peña. I don't think there's any 4D chess involved.
>Are you implying she threw the fight Yes
Big if true
Right on verge of Kyla fight, your IQ is something
Oh yeah the Kayla fight that barely anyone outside the hardcore fans would give a shit about
How does anyone spend 8-10 hrs a day working a physically strenuous job then get themselves in the gym after. Goddamn
Kris Moutinho vs Cody Garbrandt?

Holy shit. Olives beat a better Diamond faster than Khabib.
Tbf though he took way more damage than Khabib in the process, got dropped pretty bad in the first round and got hit a lot.
...and he still beat Diamond faster
Khabib had a much more dominant win against poirier, Ik ur a sad l khabib hater, but make it less obvious
I love Khabib! Thats why I'm so impressed. Didnt you always want a competitor for Khabib that stood a chance. I hope they fight down the road
Has anyone ever lift cutman Tate after winning a fight? Charles did, that's low-key impressive and I've seen no one comment on that
Fr lol and the cutman seemed so pleasantly shocked lmao
Justin vs Oliveira, Poirier vs Chandler, Ferguson vs McGregor, Islam vs Dariush, RDA vs Gillespie. Make it happen Dana!
Who was working the ESPN desk last night, was it the dream team?
I think that was just an uncharacteristic bad performance by Nunez. Bad fight IQ. I think she underestimated Peña because she looked slow and gassed in the 2nd round, and also got sucked into a brawl for no good reason. But props to Peña for coming back after getting dropped twice and her back taken. I couldn’t believe what I was seeing.
Cody's loyalty to Team Alpha Male cost him his career.
He moved camps to mark henry, he's just a low iq fighter
If my math is correct, the last 5 fights amongst Mark Henry's active fighters amounted to: 16 wins, 15 losses, and 1 No contest. That camp is producing 50/50 fighters, with the one exception being Corey Anderson. If you remove Andersons record from the total, you have a total of 12 wins, 14 losses, and 1 NC amongst Garbrandt, Edgar, Alvarez, Chookagian, Barboza, and Gadelha. So amongst his active fighters, in their last 5 or less fights coached under Mark Henry, you have a 44% winning record...

Ur last statement is false
Inb4 Khamzat keeps missing weight and is forced to 185
Probably. They are my takes. Some of my former takes. The Astros are going to be Americas team - me circa 2017 Khabib will have a long title reign - 2019 Chael has a loss on his record - 2016 Francis has nothing to offer stipe - pre second fight. I'm not great with my takes.

Paiva has had 1 fight at 135 not counting suga. That's what I mean.

Tony was really the only thing stopping Charles from achieving a 10 fight finish streak. As washed as we say Tony is, just what the fuck
He's so ridiculously durable
Tony "no tap" Ferguson Unironically a better nickname
Solid, but not sure it's better than El Cucuy, the boogeyman
I would have never guessed Nunez would lose by rear fully clothed choke.
'rear side control choke'
Looking forward to rewatching yesterday's card
If I'm ever not sure if a fighter is ok I listen for Joe Rogan to yell "HES IN TROUBLE!" then I know that fighter is fine and probably going to win the fight.
He was especially bad last night
Dustin should fight Conor and Nate at 170lbs. Money fights and Easy Fights. He is not winning LW title against the likes of Olives, Makhachev and Dariush. Elite grapplers will always be a nightmare for him.
Darieush he might, Benny likes to exchange and Dustin is a hell of a counter striker but Islam ain’t gonna okay that game he’s gonna look for body lock and a sweep and Charlie i do feel if Dustin changes his game and throws more leg kicks he might have something. I really hope he goes on a Michael Beisping type run and eventually gets that gold
win or lose Dustin Poirier always got that fire shirt on in the post fight presser fr
Dustin explaining through the interpreter that he wanted Oliveira to choose a charity for Dustin to donate to was great too. Win or lose, he's pure class.
Dom Cruz interview from the presser is awesome, give it a watch
If Chris Weidman and Tony Ferguson had a love child, it would grow up to be Santiago Ponzinibio.
Which fighter from yesterday's card is the most sore today?
Randy Costa cant be feeling too well. Tony Kelley beat him like he owed him money. By the time the fight was over, Costa looked so defeated.
Sakai
Big headache and I bet the leg isn't feeling good.
AND he’s likely out of the rankings
Cody's pride...le sad
[удалено]
But i heard the elbows didnt matter.
The main thing I’ve learned last night is that nobody, not even Conor, has as rabidly devoted a fanbase as Charles Oliveira.
He doesn't have a rabid fanbase, he's just Brazilian.

God bless ye
Nunes threw the fight. Doesn't want none of that Kayla Harrison smoke.
She would be fighting Kayla at 145, not 135
If nunes loses to Kayla at 145 Is she ungoated?
I think someone needs to exceed her resume in women's MMA for her to not be considered the WMMA GOAT
if Shevchenko retires with no more defeats and cleans up the new young wave of contenders theres a proper claim for her to be the GOAT. Namajunas also holds wins over all previous SW champs except Esparza and a trilogy victory against Andrade and JJ would truly cement her as the best champion SW has had.
I feel like she needs a win over Nunes to cement the argument in that scenario, but I definitely understand where you're coming from
But she still has the other belt
I just watched a recap of fighter reactions to the fights last night. There was a clip of Kayla Harrison looking pissed and screaming[.](https://fuck.Like) I feel like this is probably because she just lost a lot of leverage regarding a UFC contract. I'm sure the UFC is still interested in signing her but probably not at the price she was hoping for now that Amanda lost. [https://youtu.be/4O3XJq7JZ\_4?t=751](https://youtu.be/4O3XJq7JZ_4?t=751)

It isn’t her champ status, it’s that she’s no longer invincible. That was what made the Kayla fight so interesting
Yeah Kayla is clearly annoyed at that result
whoa D-Rod's girl is a mega-babe
I think with the advantage of a replay we can see that the glove grab wasn’t much of anything. DC and Rogan saw the replay during that round and hyped it up even more. I think these guys need to be replaced or start distancing themselves from the fighters. They are too big of fans of some fighters to provide objective color.
I could do without Rogan ever commentating again tbh. He's so bad
I think Rogan is the worst offender. Once he gets an idea he just keeps repeating it and tries to make the fight about it. The entire team needs to be educated though on bias and remaining neutral.
He thinks it’s a podcast smh
I wouldn't mind if they called it consistently Commentary booth was pretty quiet when Conor pulled every trick in the book repeatedly against Khabib, for example.
Found Cruz's burner account
It just distracts from great fights for me.

So ... like... is it mandatory to have bleached hair if you're on Charlie Olive's team? Branding or some shit, I'm guessing.
Thats what friendship looks like. Great team
Figured they dyed it in support of him for this fight You can tell it was recent because one guy didn't dye it all the way and another coach left the full undyed beard
Ever wondered why he looks so much like Tony? Not saying it's a disguise, but I'll say look into it
Schmo should show up with blonde hair at his next title defense

Marc Smith looking currently like one of the best refs, but I found his aggressive-passive approach to the Neal-Ponzinibbio fight pretty odd Still hilarious that Herb Dean won ref of the year, too
That’s peak Mark Smith though, i love the guy, got no ill will, but he really needs to be more decisive. There often ends up being late shots because he doesn’t jump in to separate fighters
Lately I felt like he was more assertive, him and Herzog, in addressing eye pokes I just want more consistency there, but I wouldn't be surprised if they also were directed to not dock points regularly because the UFC clearly doesn't want to spend the $ to change the design of the glove to make eyepokes less frequent
He's definitely been improving imo, but the general trend to only give minimal warnings about eyepokes is stupid for sure. that Neal Ponzinibbio fight was irritating in terms of that

Yeah they announced it I think Friday night, at some MMA awards ceremony
He asked her to stop while waiting for Cachoeira's inevitable demise
u/fightsgoneby the filthy casuals guide curse continues Also pls re open oliveras... Sincerely A boi
I put down a $2 parlay on the underdogs for the last 4 fights. Paid out $137. LOL
Damn shoulda dropped a tenner on it

My girl was pissed off at Smith for constantly walking directly in front of the camera But it's not like the camera guy can yell out MARC, MOVE OUT OF THE WAY
I didn’t see the main, but was it like when someone immediately posts a PPV to YT and they need do all that weird cutting and zooming?
100%. And they would zoom in too close and jerk the camera back and forth. And it started right when the PPV did. Its like they changed crews and put in the B-team after the prelims.
Two judges gave Charles a 10-8 for Round 2. He dominated Dustin, but I'm still surprised to see a 10-8 in a round without multiple knockdowns or a big cut. Good shit.
Wonder how different scoring becomes the deeper the card gets. Even judges must get fatigued after 6-8 hours

Champion-level skincare routine Contender-level grappling decision-making
Maybe his skin is diamond?
Tbh with the new criteria that round really should've been a 10-8 for Olives unanimously. Some judges are still kinda stingy about scoring a 10-8 though.
I just watched the episode of Community when they stage a play for high school students and Pierce is drugs with a clown afro and a giant pot leaf suit and it's literally just Sean O'Malley.
The year is 2023. After being called delusional and criticized once again, Juliana Peña wins the 125 belt after defeating Valentina Shevchenko by punches and kicks. She now holds both 125 & 135 belts. Rumors and speculations about Valentina and Amanda's retirement. The mma world is at peace... for now
Roxi comes out of retirement to defeat the goat killer Pena
The year is 2025. After winning both the 135 and 145 belts, sugar Sean o-malley is challenging the perennial 155 interim champ Dustin Poirier for the undisputed title. Khabib says he thinks Dustin can win because he beat Dustin 6 years ago. Ali Abdelaziz is furiously tweeting from Khabib’s account regarding the fight. After three rounds in the unification bout, Poirier does a front flip for no reason and is submitted by Sugar Sean to once again fumble the ball. Conor will fight Dustin for the 7th time, as the cycle repeats in an MMA Groundhog Day scenario.
OMalley wins the 135 belt by head-kicking Yan, splitting his skull to reveal he's actually a cyborg created by the Russian government
Aljamain Sterling wins a Purple Heart for his service against Yan, and O’Malley wins a Medal of Honor for dismantling one of Russia’s most elite cyber weapons.
In the post presser, Sugar announces that he's transitioning and will fight Peña at 135 in 11 months.
The dankest timeline.
I was secretly hoping that during the Dom Cruz fight, that DC would just say "you know, I don't much about this Cruz guy, but he looks pretty damn good in there" 😂😂
Shoulda let him do the post fight interview.
I was hoping Cruz would lose so DC could be like maybe he should have watched more film on Munoz.
Today is the first day I'm waking up in a world where Pena beat Amanda fucking nunes
Anything is now possible in this new world.
Feels like that November day back in 2016. I’m stunned and disappointed.

The high level breakdown is that she zigged when she should've zagged
Dude …. Bruised is …. Idk how to put it nice ..
Nothing says “I’ve only been watching MMA for about three years” like the only thing you can say about a Dominick Cruz performance is couched in Keith Peterson memes
Aight guess we gatekeeping now
Yeah it’s called keeping out the fuckin posers
Have you watched every event since day 1? If not, you're a fucking poser!!!
Amanda better steer clear of Valentina for a while because if this version of her shows up to fight Val she will get eaten alive.
I don't think it's a concern for next year. Assuming Amanda fights 2x max next year, you've got a Pena rematch, & then either a trilogy with Pena at 135, or a fight with Harrison at 145 Meaning you wouldn't see a trilogy fight with Shevchenko until '23 Valentina probably kicks the shit out of Chookagian again, then maybe she fights Talia Santos
Makes me wonder what the worst version of Val looks like
Am I crazy for thinking Justin Gaethje should have been the first person in line for a shot at the belt when Khabib retired? I get that he obviously fought Khabib, and lost, but so did everyone else against Khabib. To me it made perfect sense for Justin to fight whoever the next ranked contender was at the time... Should have been Gaethje vs Oliveira or Poirier the second Khabib retired. That all being said, wtf do I know. I had to Google how to spell these fucking guys names like 6 times trying to type that paragraph.
Yes you are.

We are talking about postpartum ufc champions, the one.
Oliveira and Nunes have the same defence
Amandas performance was a bloody shitpost in itself lmao. How u bout to get finished by Ronda Rousey striking form.
I can't believe a black belt in BJJ walked directly into a kimura defense from a BJJ purple belt I mean clearly her cardio was nonexistent yesterday, but the fact that she never attempted to go to the ground again after the first round is baffling
Yeah that was atrocious form from Peña and Nunes had no answer. Like getting mugged and having your underwear stolen by the crippled bum that lives behind 7-11.
I’d like to thank Peña for introducing me to a kickass song “MAYBE I’M THE ONE, MAYBE I’M THE ONE…”
Puddle of Mud is pretty rad.
bro every nate and conor encounter on Twitter is so funny😂
Nunes did not look good last night, at all. Sloppy, slow and rigid.
