I don’t really have a problem with Cyborg being let go. I have no doubt the organization did it for all the wrong reasons but, nonsense aside, who is she going to fight? I don’t think the Nunes rematch needed to happen (Amanda torched her), but even if it were booked, what’s next? 145 is suffering from the same problem now as it always has. There simply aren’t enough high level women in the weight class. I fully expect the UFC to close the division by the end of 2020, if not sooner.

 

here's that Muay Thai fight from yesterday

 

This was a great fight

 

I never found Cyborg likeable at all. She gets the kind of heat you DON'T want a person to have.

 

i wish all cards could start this early lol

 

I like Cyborg a lot. I still find her to be more impressive than Nunes. Outside of her being a two-division champ and being the first woman to TKO Cyborg, there really hasn’t been a fight I didn’t honestly think she wasn’t going to win over the past few years that’s been given to her outside of the Cyborg fight.

-Tate had one foot out the door already.
-Rousey had no business being in the cage with her.
-Love Holly, but clearly not as quick or comfortable in there as she used to be.
-Pennington shouldn’t have been there with her. Came off a two year layoff and I was surprised she even lasted as long as she did.

Definitely give her credit for two wins over Valentina, but she got her money’s worth in that second fight against a normally 125er.

Cyborg on the other hand, is a former 3 promotion featherweight champ, she has awards/medals in wrestling/JJ/MT as well as honorary MMA world awards. In a nutshell, she starched any woman that stood across from her for 13 years until her fight with Nunes. She deserved the rematch. A first minute knockout is amazing to watch live and a huge feat for her, but not a definitive stamp for me that Nunes is the superior fighter overall. Dana sure loves calling her that though and never commenting on Cyborg’s accomplishments.

 

Anytime I see Cyborg in the news these days its her complaining, whether it's warranted or not idk.



Fucking can't wait to see Colby get his face crushed in

 

Covington with this MAGA garbage. Get the fuck out of here.

 

that was fucking horrifying

 

that choke was brutal

 

I wish I could fucking watch. No ESPN access at work. Kinda hate that having ESPN+ doesn't give me access to these cards.

 

This dude Gall is fighting looks like hes got a tat of himself on his chest lmao

 

All of these Cerone protein commercials just make me think of this

 

This ref fuckin rules hahahaha

 

Still not watching but i'm gonna venture to guess it's Mike Beltran you're referring to?

 

this is fucking ridiculous

 

na, this guy looks like an oompa loopmpa on steroids.

 

little meatball on roids?

 

lol

 

I am literally laughing my ass off at all this dick punting going on wtfffff

 

@currytheword does NY and NJ have the same commissions/refs?

 

Welterweight division is stacked yo

 

They showed Colby on the screen walking into the arena and the guys in front of me are cheering. FML

 

I’m honestly not sure, but I feel like a lot of refs that have worked for the UFC have also worked in other states for different promotions/events.

 

Yo this guy SQUATS.
