Read this yesterday and forgot to post it here with all the other filth going on in MMA From NCAA to MMA: More college wrestlers are fighting on
Romero is out of his fight with Souza citing illness. Maybe his next fight will be Costa after all. Wonder who they’ll give to Souza now.
Globo is saying Souza/Costa Romero adoece e UFC planeja Paulo Borrachinha x Ronaldo Jacaré em Fort Lauderdale
I assume that means Usman x Covington in July. I feel like the UFC is banking on Adesanya walking all over Kelvin so they can put Whitaker x Adesanya on one of these cards too.
Idk if I buy the Lesnar fight honestly. Tomorrow is WrestleMania and it seems like every year there’s a rumor for him and it’s always around that event because that’s usually when his WWE deal is up. He’s known to be one hell of a negotiator so it could be leverage to get more money from Vince/WWE
Not my thought but someone pointed out they could be setting up a run of cards that looks like Jones at 239 Conor at 240 Lesnar at 241 Three biggest draws for the company on three straight PPVs
that would sure bring in a lot of people to ESPN+ or at least show everyone very quickly how big of a failure this ESPN+ deal is going to be lol
I’m curious when they’ll put a legitimate big fight on main ESPN. The first Fox card was Cain/JDS when they were both at the top of their game. The ESPN/+ cards have been great but nothing like that yet.
I’m not into this bare knuckle fighting movement that’s been all the rave. It took 2 decades of work to get MMA legitimized and the UFC to where it is. This is a step backwards for the sport. ESPECIALLY after WBKFF and their shitshow. You get a bunch of idiots on a card with a handful of fighters who either couldn’t hang anymore, or just want a paycheck and are too stupid to say no. Fighters started wearing gloves for a reason. To make things competitive, and for the fighters own physical health. To those who already shit on MMA for being “barbaric”, this is the backyard inbred cousin they’ve been waiting to have show up to prove their point. That guy cutting a fighter’s purse in half and publicly humiliating him? Trash entertainment. Even the crowd was like wtf dude. On top of all that, a huge brawl broke out between spectators in the middle of Artem’s fight and they let it keep going! What a joke.
Jeez I didn't see Brock is being talked about again until just now. Hopefully he loses the fake strap tonight.
