Colby Covington is such a piece of shit, it's always a pleasure to watch him get washed, so you can hear the excuses afterward. Dude is just not a likeable human being.

MMA is the cruelest sport when you're on the downside of your career. In other sports your role can be reduced, you get benched, you can maybe still be carried by younger teammates.
In MMA you keep getting beat up, all alone. In June 2019 Tony Ferguson beat Donald Cerrone for his 12th win in a row, to move to 25-3 overall, leading to at title shot. He's never won again, lost 7 in a row, none of them really close. |

His fighting style never lent itself to a long career. Same with guys like Eddie Alvarez, Michael Chandler, Diego Sanchez. All bangers, all reckless, all with tremendous dropoffs. I was really high on Ferguson when he broke out. He had IT, but he's totally dropped off, and he shouldn't fight again.

At this point someone needs to intervene with Tony, dude is putting his future quality of life at serious risk continuing to fight.

I remember when a big MMA meme was Tony Ferguson not getting that fight with Khabib. Looking at his tapology fight record, that fight was set and cancelled 5 different times. It got as close as the day before one of the fights when Khabib was hospitalized for a bad weight cut. Certainly Khabib would have squashed him, but, it would have been a payday I guess.

Ferguson should have called it quits after that fight against Gaethje, when he looked like he was having seizures in the 5th round.

Been watching some combat karate.
The early UFC was pretty interesting with the different styles but for me, it's kinda boring now. I know I don't appreciate the ground game enough and the great technical stuff they do looks all the same to me. I much prefer the punches & kicks. |

Anyone excited for UFC 300 tomorrow?
Quite a card they've put together.

Loaded card other than the Bo Nickal walkover.
My fave bet is Hulk Hogan to finish Holly in the 2nd round at juicy +500

I feel like if he doesn't try the spinning kick then Holloway just let's it end. Dug his own grave.

Pereira waving off Herb Dean after the cup check then immediately putting Hill to sleep was epic. Hill's eyes looked like the reels on a slot machine

I love MMA wackiness. It's surely the only sport where a ref can call a time out and one of the participants can physically overrule that call by pushing the ref away. |

Usyk nearly got robbed by the judges.

It was an incredible fight all around. Both fighters had their moments. That 9th round by Usyk was an all-timer and Fury was somewhat lucky it wasn't stopped. It probably would have been for any other fighter.
