Yeah, kinda rooting for Tony as well. He is a guy that I'm legitimately sad to see go so downhill. Granted, his losing streak consists of losses to the current champ and the number 1 and 4 ranked contenders.... but still. Seeing him go on that run for like 9 years and never even get a true title shot was just tragic. Without injuries, there's a good chance he would have gotten the title before Khabib. It's up there with Condit arguably getting robbed of the decision against Lawler and then losing four in a row.
Damn, Kevin Holland stops a car thief two days after his last fight. Then he has to help take down a gunman a week after this one.
We could pass some gun control or we could hope there’s a random ufc fighter around when one of these lunatics decides to open fire in a public place. I wonder what lesson the state of Texas will take from this
My lord Paul Craig is insane. Got his ass beat for four minutes and pulls off a submission out of nowhere.
Allen is a beast, but Hooker may need to retire. Dudes taken a ton of damage 3 of his last four fights.
Yeah, I'm out on Hooker. I'm not real interested in seeing if he can turn things around, for his sake more than anything.
Yeah he has been through the ringer with his recent opponents and it’s so sad to see. Allen was a way too tough of opponent for his return to 145. Islam, Chandler, Poirer and Allen is a brutal stretch. Hooker is probably good enough to stay in the UFC and be a slightly above average fighter, but is that really worth risking further damage?
Chael got 11 charges for beating up 5 people in Vegas lmao. Suspended from ESPN for now, theres not many details on the case.
Is it just me or is it weird that there’s an ESPN article from Raimondi about this? ‘Hey, we’re ESPN, come read about one of employees getting charged with assault’. A statement from the company I’d get, but a report from one of the MMA guys seems odd to me.
