Apparently Jon Jones plans to retire after the Stipe fight. What a waste of Jones at HW. Dude waited like 2/3 years to bulk up beat Gane in 30 seconds and is going to beat Stipe and then roll out when the only fight that anyone wanted to see was Jones vs. Ngannou. LMAO. UFC is such a shitshow. It's why I've stopped really following it. I pay attention, but I don't really watch much of the actual fights anymore because I just don't care. I used to be a huge Jon Jones fan, but then his true colors showed up and I lost interest. The same could be said for Conor. There are a lot of fighters I think are really good, but I just don't care anymore. Dana being low-rent Vince McMahon doesn't help matters.

UFC is now blatantly Dana trying to build people that he thinks will be stars and if your another fighter and mess up the narrative he shits on you in public. UfC right now has almost zero star power. They’re like those WWE years where they kept bringing in the Rock/Goldberg/Taker/etc. because they never bothered to build up anyone else organically. That’s why they keep trying to prop the rigid corpse of Conor McGregor up and everyone calls him out because he’s the only UFC guy that has any star power and even that is diminishing mightily. I love MMA but UFC is some shit.

How does the BMF title work? I know Masvidal originally won it. Did he ever defend it? I don't remember. Are they simply pulling it out whenever they have a solid if not spectacular ME of a PPV that doesn't already involve a title? Is the BMF title sort of like the FTW title? Pretty much. As the only reason it was created was to sell a main event between two fighters with journeymen records.

And then Masvidal remained BMF Champion while getting bodied a bunch of times after winning it. 😂

I mean, if anyone was a BMF during that event it was Derrick Lewis kicking his fight off with a flying knee, getting the finish in less than a minute, then taking his shorts off and repeatedly crotch chopping.

Not surprised. The Jake Paul boxing gimmick needs to reach its conclusion though, either by someone from MMA KOing him or him fighting actual boxers that are his age and weight class.

Nate was a decent boxer for MMA.... he's not a good boxer overall and apparently that was seen last weekend. Paul has fought one professional boxer and he lost.

I really hope that Chris Weidman calls it career after tonight.
He was lucky that Brad Tavares couldn't finish his way out of a wet paper bag.

UFC is ice cold for me these days, but I saw that Sean O'Malley won a title and then in the presser said that he wants to KO Gervonta Davis.
1) Davis would piece this dude up horribly in a boxing match as O'Malley's striking is more geared towards surprise stuff and not traditional boxing and Gervonta is one of the best out there.
2) What does it say about the UFC when a guy wins a title and then essentially calls out a boxer at the post-fight presser?
Clown show all around.

Damn so one of Dana’s pet projects actually delivered, you know he’s thrilled.

Don't get me wrong there is no shame in losing to the best but I'm glad that The Korean Zombie has now retired.

Saudi has bought a stake in PFL. We’re finally going to get Jones/Ngannou when they throw stupid money at Jones. LMAO

Strickland fought a flawless defensive fight. Not taking away from that, but I'd say 70% of that fight was boring as shit. I wouldn't have changed it if I were Strickland though, as you don't change your style to appease the audience. But for what essentially was a boxing match, there wasn't much action.

It absolutely was a boring fight but full credit to Strickland. Now for full chaos mode, watch Colby beat Leon at MSG.

I actually like Colby as a fighter, but it’s the whole “everything else” that I’m not looking forward to if it comes to pass.
