Conor currently weighed in at 85 kg now. So he tryna build some mass before going weight cut? If not, then he’s waaaaaay beyond the weight limit and totally unfit for the LW division because FFS… that’s like the equivalent of going Ultra Super Saiyan. All mass, no speed and stamina.

Conor and Khabib going after the light hwavyweight title lol. Dem boys thick now.

So Hasbulla a.k.a. “Mini Khabib” got banned from Instagram for death threat against a woman.

Because the woman posted a video (i’ll assume a very private one) of Hasbulla’s sister on Instagram without his permission.

Very impressed by Font. He didn’t have the power to match Aldo, but his pace and accuracy of punches is top notch. He was out striking Aldo and moving very well, but Aldo’s power is not to be taken lightly. Good win for Aldo, but also good showing of skill for Font.

I guess for me the fight I was more excited about yesterday night was defo Rafael Fiziev vs Brad Ridell. Headhunting and counter-striking the entire match. Fiziev should be in the conversation now, especially after that sweet wheel kick TKO right to the temple that made Brad Riddell flat out quit. Riddell himself was good, tho. I dunno the score card but I’d say 10-9 split for Fiziev R1 and R2. It was competitive.

Here are some of the guys I want in the new top 10 LW roster, replacing the usual guys:

Fiziev, especially after his most recent win.
Gamrot, after his win over Stephens via 1 round Kimura
Guram, Khamzat’s LW gym mate.
Tsarukyan, the guy who showed us a super exciting high level grappling speed chess with Islam Makhachev, and he ONLY 25yo now.

February 22nd we gon’ get Makhachev v Dariush, going for that contender spot AND Tsarukyan vs Joel Alvarez–who recently just destroyed Moises in a R1 TKO.

YES! Exciting stuff.

Aldo wants Dillashaw now.

I’d pick TJ to win pretty comfortably, as much as it hurts me to say it. I desperately want to believe that Aldo has one more title run left in him. The word legend doesn’t do that man justice.

So Tyson Fury’s younger brother pulled out of the Jake Paul fight and Tyron Woodley will be replacing him.

Oi! this will be my final ounce of support I’ll give to you, T. Lose to him again, you’ll forever be the laughingstock of whole Combat Sports community.

Hmh.
I smell a trilogy between Paul and Woodley.

Dustin’s coach says that he is very scared of Oliveira.

I say Oliveira is maybe also scared of him too.

Dustin has a very underrated ground game & Oliveira has very underrated and technical striking. Both guys should be afraid of each other both on the ground and on feet. This fight is gonna be more evenly matched and close than most people think. Hate to see either one lose tho.

Hope this doesn’t end up being another Ngannou vs. Lewis.

Oliviera is in a weird spot where he’s the goddamn champion, best in the world yet everybody sleeping on him. Literally everybody in the top 5 outshines him in terms of talks and narrative.

Dustin just beating Conor twice, Justin and Chandler being absolute chads who never backs down, and Islam Makhachev being the guy who could succeed Khabib.

Oliviera CANNOT afford to be scared. He the champ yet he’s overlooked! That’s not how the champ should be. If he wants some major respect from the LW division he gon’ have to come in strong, skilled, on point and get that 10 wins-streak vs Dustin otherwise the narrative will be “Thanks for warming the seat for me.”

I may have just predicted the winner of UFC 269 through my dreams and it was Oliveira putting Dustin Poirier to sleep in the 4th round.

Then there’s this stupid crazyass buffed out Conor McGregor storming the cage and confronting the winner like a psycho.

@Count Adramalekhovich Searmagomedov
Okay I beliee you. Sub 4th round Oliviera.
Sounds plausible.

@tehwatever
I mean cmon, if Khabib can easily submit Dustin out then so is him too. A frigging submission specialist!

The only thing Dustin needs is his striking abilities and precise timing. The way how he beat Conor.

Oh dear fuuuuuuuuccckkkkk……. HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

Imagine getting roasted so bad YouTube auto caps are even spitting facts about you LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL!!!!!!! XD

HAHAHAHA! Sick sense of humor, Youtube has.

Animated Charles Oliveira can’t hurt you. He’s not real.

just missing his dorky glasses.

Congratulations to Thug Rose and Kamaru Usman for the FOTY award.

Dominick Cruz almost got rocked in the 1st round.

Tuivasa came out of that victory pulling a Stone Cold Steve Austin beer chug using a shoe. XD

Tuivasa 3:16 says I just whooped your ass!

Ah. I learned it’s an Aussie thing when they celebrate good shit.

Steve Austin actually tweeted him doing his skit.

R1 for Nunes handily. She looked frightening as all hell and I was for sure believed she would take it and proved why no woman on her division could come close but MAN is Juliana Peña something else.

R2 was straight up war, fists flying and I couldnt believe Peña outstruck that monster Nunes and actually subbed her!

Great fight, 10/10
