Belal v. Brady should be great.

Nice to see Dariush fight again after a long(ish) layoff, especially against a guy on a big upswing like Gamrot.

TJ v. Sterling is the battle of the hated bastards.

Sugar Sean is always great, but I have a feeling Yan is going to bring him back down to earth.

Hell, the Oezdemir and Krylov fight has major potential too.

And of course my boy Do Bronx hopefully shows the world why he's the GOAT.

Card is absolutely fucking STACKED. I really hope Rogan does a fight companion for it.

I don't know how anyone can doubt Oliveira at this point. He hasn't lost in 5 years and knocked off every big name that isn't Khabib in that time. For him to be a defending champ underdog (technically he doesn't have the belt, but he is still the champ) is pretty crazy.

Ilir Latifi Temporarily Suspended for Competing with Staph Infection at UFC Fight Night 211
Latifi initially revealed the ailment during a post-fight interview following a unanimous decision victory against Alexey Oleynik on Oct. 1 at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas.

“Even this week, my leg is swollen. I didn’t even tell my coaches, but I got a staph infection two days ago," Latifi said in the cage.

Latifi will not be allowed to compete until he reaches an agreement with the NSAC on a punishment.

might be looking in wrong places, but can't find anyone else that got punished for fighting with staph. kevin lee admitted it in cage to.

maybe like you said after kevin lee admitted it
he was able to hide it from the Nevada State Athletic Commission (NSAC) and UFC doctors.


“I feel like that was a huge factor. The staph infection didn’t really help. I have been fighting it for over a week now, and it didn’t make it easier,” said Lee during the post-fight presser. “I’m sitting here now at about 185 pounds, a little too big for the weight class now. I have been fighting at this weight class since I started MMA at 17. It’s about time for me to go up and get bigger, stronger.”


Not a good look, NSAC.

nsac felt like retards, so they'll take down anyone that admits it even post fight

Slap fighting is so fucking dumb. I hope no one watches and it makes no money and dies off within a year.

Dumb or not they probably shouldn't be allowed to do that shit in any kind of organized fashion without having a doctor on standby. No shortage of concussions when you just stand there and let some dude tee off on your head.

They had a doctor there who tried to stop the match because the dude's eye was swelling and he couldn't see.

I lost a lot of reapect for Dana over the slap fighting shit. Mongoloids with ocean temp iq enjoy that, no one else. Like what is interesting about that? Whats next the Russian car fighting championship? Two dudes strapped into the drivers and passenger seat of a convertible fight eachother without leaving their seat. Just brilliant stuff.

“Actually, I’ve got a couple questions,” Sterling said when addressing the crowd in Abu Dhabi. “So you guys are all familiar with the Embedded episodes. For some reason, I haven’t seen T.J. in any of the Embedded episodes.

“That’s how he got caught last time. I wonder if there’s something going on that it might be a little fishy, T.J.?”

Rather than defend himself against the accusations, Dillashaw responded with an interesting jab at Sterling as he seeks to reclaim the bantamweight title he was forced to surrender after his positive drug test and subsequent suspension.

“Look, I’ve come to terms with it,” Dillashaw said addressing his past. “It’s time now. You’re going to get your ass whooped by a cheater, motherf*****. He’s so worried he can come test me himself. He can test these nuts in his mouth.”

Can't see slap fighting getting any traction over other failed ventures like arm wrestling. It's on the same level of niche appeal.

NSAC agreeing to sanction it is good for safety since this is going to be a thing, albeit embarrassing that anyone is pushing it in the first place.
