Seems like Conor has redacted his retreat from being called a fraud and plans to still fight Dustin.

While it’s incredibly shitty he didn’t donate like he said (essentially using it as a way to get back in the good graces of fans), I love that there is some heat now so we don’t get a friendly fight. Let’s hope Dustin comes in as sharp as he last did.

If Nate and Leon is cancelled, then that’s a bummer cause it’s the only fight I was excited to see either in.

 

Yeah, it's shitty if Conor really did just dodge them after all of that hoopla, but it is a pretty genius way for Dustin to get under Conor's skin and get him fired up for this rematch lol. Conor doesn't seem fazed by the insults about his bar fights or anything else, but calling him out for charity fraud is a pretty hilarious way to take all of the wind out of his sails so he can't use "who cares? I'm rich" as a fallback counter-insult.

 

Yeah you can tell this one got to him. He got Twitter fingers going real fast to respond, threaten to quit the match, and then threaten Dustin again lol.

 

I'm oddly curious to see how the Askren fight goes this weekend. Hopefully he finishes it quick and doesn't go light.

 

I hope absolutely no one buys and it’s a waste so we stop seeing this allure around celebrity boxing.

 

Francis Ngannou and Tyson Fury exchanging words on Twitter was not what I expected for Tuesday lol.

 

Rob might just be my favorite fighter now that Khabib’s gone so hoping he pulls out the win this weekend

 

Rob gets it done in two rounds.

 

With 20k fans lol. Official

 

Jan about to have Izzy’s undefeated record and Teixeira’s retirement in the pocket back to back.

 

Am I crazy or did I just see Ngannou get blown up by Sung Kang in the new Fast & Furious trailer????

 

Han is the baddest man on the planet

 

UFC card this weekend looks good. Bellator as well with two LHW grand prix fights.

 

Dustin apologized to Conor on Twitter lol.

 

so was that whole back and forth staged then? saw a lot of people claiming it was

 

I’m not sure really. Don’t know how it made either look good. I guess just to make it seem like a bad blood fight to get people excited.

 

this makes me miss Pride so much:

 

Decent main card for Bellator tonight. Curious to see how Nemkov looks.

 

Yeah ima stream this one.

 

Wouldn’t be shocked if Phil won tbh.

 

I wouldn't be shocked either, their first fight was a split decision if I'm not mistaken. Phil's one of the most underrated guys. Hope it's a good one.

 

Jeremy Stephens is such trash. Really don’t like that dude. Shoved Drakkar nearly on his ass when they weren’t even exchanging words. Real tough guy who’s about to get his 5th loss in a row.

 

I met Jeremy once in Vegas, and I couldn’t decide if he was alright or kind of an asshole. Seems like he always some sort of chip on his shoulder, even when being approached by complete strangers lol
