Jon Jones vs. Stipe is off after Jones tore his pec. I always knew Jon Jones was no Cody Rhodes

Didn’t see the fight but Fury beat Ngannou by split decision. Ngannou managed to drop Fury at one point.

What boxing thinks will make their sport look bad: their best boxer losing to an MMA fighter. What actually makes boxing look bad: when the result is clearly rigged.

Fury is a bum and a fraud. Embarassment to boxing.

The biggest loser of the night has to be Dana White. Francis is now one of the biggest stars in combat sport, yet Dana fumbled him through his own greed and petulance. And all for a shot Jon Jones who’s bailing once he gets his legacy fight.

Boxing judges going to favor the boxer every time. Fury was definitely questioning his life choices after Francis laid him on his ass in there.
Kind of makes you wonder how good that Fury and his competition are when Francis can just waltz in there and honestly beat the champ. lol

And all for a shot Jon Jones who’s bailing once he gets his legacy fight. And you know damn well that Dana watched that fight, he may never publicly admit it but he did. Sounds like this was a huge W for Ngannou all around. Gonna be interesting if the Usyk fight goes on in December as Ngannou was able to cut Fury as well. Maybe the right boxing people will slip some cash to the right athletic people to make it happen, if Fury still wants it that is.

Dana and/or Jones running Francis out of the UFC to avoid that fight and Francis making more in one fight than Jones has probably made in his entire UFC career and arguably beating the best heavyweight of this generation in his first fight to set himself up for an even bigger payday is some funny shit.

Francis coming out looking like a credible boxer with non-freak show paydays awaiting him is crazy, makes Dana look like a goobus and also honestly it makes Conor's Mayweather vacation look a lot worse. Mayweather's next level obviously, but Conor never looked like he was coming close to his level during that whole fight. Ngannou had way more right to be in that ring last night and actually like a guy who can viably move from the top level of MMA to a high level in boxing.

Francis has a legit chance to KO Anthony Joshua. Not saying that he will but if he catches him it could be an Overeem situation. Ruiz TKOd him and Francis has more power than him for sure.

Merab mauled the shit out of Cejudo those last 2 rounds. He's going to stop O'Malley for sure if Sean makes it to the fight. GREAT card tonight btw.

Probably not the big marquee fight they were looking for, but Alex Pereira vs Jamahal Hill headlines 300.

Dude got flattened. Let him go to ONE or PFL (is that still a thing?) cuz I can’t see him back in UFC.

I'm glad Francis got a monster payday, but words cannot describe what a mismatch that was.

Well damn, apparently Bloody Elbow got the Deadspin treatment not too long ago. Sold off and all the staff getting the axe. Much of the archives got gutted, too. Too bad, it was one of the better MMA sites out there.

So Colby and some other dude are trying to have an I Quit match…this after Colby proposed a cuck match where if the other dude lost his wife had to be Colby’s maid while the other dude watched or some shit.
