I'm one of the biggest pro wrestling nerds on this site lol, just look at my post history. You're totally right with the comparison.

 

Everyone should aspire to be like Brock.

Get paid millions to work ten days a year while also shooting horse tranquilizers into your veins.

 

While also living on a farm in South Dakota or where ever the fuck.

 

He’s in Canada now.

He’s renounced his US citzenship, per his Hunt fight intro.

 

that’s a COORS LIGHT because Bud Light don’t pay me nothing

 

Bellator is in a weird spot because they have a handful of guys they've built up on their own, but not many outside of MVP, Chandler, Lima, Koreshkov, etc. Then all of the rest are guys who just bailed on the UFC (Rory, Mousasi, Benson) or are kind of at the end of their careers (Rampage, Chael, Mir, Fedor, etc.). They need more up and coming talent to compete with some of the ex-UFC guys who are still in their prime and not necessarily making Benson, Rory and Gegard jump around to fight everyone they can.

 

It amazes me how much better Bellator's production is as far as the live experience, UFC is so stubborn and refuses to change and it hurts them. They do not want to steal ANYTHING from wrestling while Bellator had no problem doing that.

 

Seems like the UFC wanted to go more mainstream and tried to accomplish that by aligning themselves with other professional sports organizations (no unique walkouts, no sponsors other than a major retailer like Reebok, no unique clothing to try to replicate uniforms).

It’s fine, but I feel like the “tone” is conflicting. They still want to embrace things like the bus incident or Brock getting in the cage and “shoving” DC. They promote themselves as entertainment sometimes but then try to be professional at others. Bellator has no shame in going all for the entertainment angle. I like letting the fighters kind of have different identities.

 

We live in a simulation

Mayweather on Khabib: 'We can make it happen'

 

I know I said it shortly after he hopped the fence, but now is even more appropriate.

Khabib, what were you thinking?

 

Like respect where it’s due, Conor and co. had no answer for Khabib’s ground game. But does he really think he has the ability to box Mayweather? He will look beyond silly.

 

Khabib’s smart. He knows your dad asked you about Conor when that Floyd talk first started.

He wants that exposure. He wants that hype. Even if it’s just a tenth, he wants it.

 

He’s never fighting Floyd.

 

We said that about Conor too.

 

Yeah Conor/Mayweather really opened up the door for anything to happen the see days. I'll never say never again with that stuff.

 

Khabib said it’s not about the money and then calls out Floyd lmao

Get outta here

 

If I had the chance to fight Floyd and make 100 million I'd do it.

 

Yeah, anyone would. But he just ranted about how he’ll quit ufc because he doesn’t care about the money. A week later he’s going for the biggest money grab.

 

Money can make absolutely anyone a giant hypocrite though haha.

 

And says Conor only fights for money as well. Like Khabib, you don’t give a shit about boxing. It’s only for money.

 

If I could be set for life from one fight i'd be a contradicting, hypocritical puppet too haha.

 

I'm not going to lie, I'd be more interested in watching Khabib vs. Brock in WWE than watching him box Floyd.

 

Khabib would be great in WWE if WWE knew how to book people that are from different cultures but they in fact suck at it and would make him the biggest russian stereotype. Although Rusev does rule lol. @slowheart thoughts?

 

Yeah if anyone but Vince was running the show. Vince would hear him talk once and be like fuck this guy pal.

Idc if Khabib gets tooled by Floyd but fight Tony first
