My massive issue with Conor is that his arrogance is galling when you consider he’s a manufactured champion in a deep division.

I think some of the core mma/ufc fans forget that at the end of the day the UFC is still a business and form of entertainment, which is why you have people like McGregor and Rousey in the spotlight. Someone like McGregor might not be the best all around martial artist in the world but he puts people in seats, gets ppv…

I miss Jon ‘Bones’ Jones - I hope he’s well.

I’m a McGregor fan (although much more of a Nate fan), and I’m getting sick of this “this happened because he went up two weight classes” narrative. Conor is an enormous 145 who inevitably will end up at 155. Nate has fought at 170 but obviously belongs at 155. In fact, Dana White has confirmed that Nate actually…

I also think the fight shifted not through Diaz’s jabs but with the second round power punches that Conor was landing. Conor (being used to hitting midgets) was looking for that one shot power punch that turns the lights off on his (midget) opponents. But midway through the second round he landed those shots and much…

I think both Holm and Rousey’s next fight should be against each other, then let the winner of that Re-match get a shot at Tate, but I agree it does seem suspicious that Ronda was totally cool taking a break and recovering before getting her re-match while Holm had the belt but the moment she loses now Rousey is ready…

The UFC doesn’t bend everything to please him. He says something, the fans respond overwhelmingly to it and the UFC agrees to it. They aren’t following Conor, they are following the fans/money.

One thing lost in the narrative of Mystic Mac and his amazing ride is that Mendes fought him on 2 weeks notice, and was kicking his ass until his total lack of cardio came to bear. If Mendes had a full camp, he would’ve won that fight easily and handed Mac his first loss a while ago. Diaz’ saving grace was that he’s…

Right, the UFC does need exposure. Having half the title holders being Brazilian and not speaking English is bad for for the sport. To have an Irish guy, Brazilian guy, African-American guy, American woman, Polish woman....etc. is GREAT for the sport.

Is it sad that of all my media outlets, its a well-knowledged, reasoned, balanced, and insightful article by Nathan that is worthy of my time investment to read.....on Kotaku(Not ESPN, Deadspin, or other outlet)... lolz Every casual fan thought these fights were great upsets, we know they were not, and asked, could…

I feel you, but in reality, it’s what the sport needs: exposure. The stalwart devotion of the old guard kept the UFC steady as it grew, but the continued indignant defense of “real MMA”, “true warrior”, and “real martial artists” is not enough anymore. Fan population growth is needed just like in any other…

Oh good, it wasn’t just me.

Half brow. Half. Brow. Those should be illegal. Is she still being paid in olive garden gift cards?

I’m glad I scrolled down, I was confused as to why she was speaking during a Hillary Clinton acceptance speech.

Jenelle and her half-eyebrows are a damn joke. That’s why I got all these feathers in my hair.

So... all of them are going to show up in New England and become non-spectacular but integral parts of a Super Bowl team? (and just wait until Megatron non-retires)
