Charles "Krazy Horse" Bennett just scored a seven second knockout in Rizin. The whole show was absurdly entertaining IMO. It was like 2AM and I was having the time of my life. Some stuff was a bit sad, like seeing Fujita trotted out there way WAY past his expedition date but overall it gave me the same feeling I got watching Pride which, for all the good and bad, is something I've really missed. Also, it's confirmed we're getting Wanderlei/Cro Cop III this December 29th...so Pride never dies, haha. That whole six plus hours was infinitely more entertaining than the UFC card earlier in the evening. Part of that is nostalgia, certainly, but the spectacle of an event(and more importantly the pacing) is something the Japanese seem to get right. Saiga-Yammamoto is a legit fight of the year contender as well, for anyone who hasn't watching the card and Kron Gracie looked REALLY good in a win over Tokoro.

Eddie/Conor for the 155 belt at Da Garden is official.
Also, Conor's keeping the 145 belt through the show, per Dana, so he could hold two belts if he wins.

Either that injury was not as bad as feared or somebody has Cena's healing powers. Either way, I got a good feeling about this fight. Though I think the "two belts" will be short-lived as that would likely result in Aldo getting upgraded and then having to face Holloway (whom I would pick to win). Khabib has to be FURIOUS right now, though.

That's complete bullshit. I LIKE Conor and think that's bullshit. I want the featherweight champion to defend his belt against the interim champ. That clown had better win if he's doing this shit. As big a Diaz fan as I am, Eddie Alvarez pretty much smokes him, so we'll see how McGregor handles that. At least he's shown that he's able to adapt, improve, and implement game plans in his fights.

The UFC 205 press conference felt like a RAW after Wrestlemania crowd. And I don't necessarily mean that in a bad way.
UFC in NYC is gonna be awesome.

Ronda allegedly wants Cyborg for her return fight:http://www.complex.com/sports/2016/09/ronda-rousey-wants-comeback-fight-cris-cyborg
I don't know that that's wise.

I'd pay to see it but I cannot imagine she'd actually win. I know anything can happen in MMA but it's like saying CM Punk has a puncher's chance against prime Anderson Silva. Or even current Spider.

I don't believe for a single second that there's any kind of force in the entire universe that would ever make Ronda step into the cage with Cyborg. She wants NO part of that.

When she still seemed invincible-ish, I wanted to see it, but seeing as how handily Holly handled her, and Cyborg is that kinda striker on steroids (sometimes literally), I can't see it ending well for Ronda.

After getting f***ed over by UFC, Jose Aldo is NOT happy and says he's gonna retire and go into some other sport.
That's what they get for treating the Featherweight division like a joke.

I was looking forward to watching him rematch Conner though. Had a whole 15 seconds set aside for it. Ronda vs Cyborg?!? That's crazy! Granted Cyborg isn't a distance fighter like Holly Holm. She's a clinch/GNP fighter, and really when has anyone ever talked about Ronda's clinch/ground game? This is gonna be a slaughter. Ronda just freezes like a deer in headlights when opponents bull rush her.

I hate how it leads to that "What have you done for me lately?" attitude among fight fans. He has a legit claim to best-ever featherweight and an undeniable legacy, as well as being completely in the right with all of his criticisms, and people are all over are saying "GOOD, you're boring and suck!" Also, Ronda doesn't do that whatsoever. Did you even see the Cat Zingano fight? As a judoka, I bet Rousey would love to have all her opponents make a beeline towards her.

WEC Aldo was great, UFC Aldo is a whiny bore I will not miss. "Why am not making as much money as other champions?" It's because you're not as entertaining as them dummy. As far as legacy's go...grow up. 2- It's called sarcasm.

I've never been into Conor's talking as much as others but goddamn I was embarrassed for Jeremy Stephens watching that bit at the conference. That was hilarious.
