He had no choice. What's he going to do-- go against the entire fanbase plus their broadcast partner in ESPN?

ESPN said no. The fans said no. The MMA press core said no.

22/154 just isn't enough to get a rematch. If anyone else had that performance they might even be slammed out the door. It's only because of who Izzy is that DW was trying to get people to overlook the 20/154. It's just not happening. Numbers don't lie.

Dana doesn't give a shit about anything except money and getting his own way. Yeah, he's reading the room and playing down the rematch now but I guarantee before he was just talking about it because he thought maybe that's what people wanted to see.

An MMA champ that can't make a fist, better give him a rematch.

His left hand looks even worse. There's just no way he can close that and not have his nails preventing a fully closed fist.

This is not a serious fighter.

Now I have to go back and examine all his wins. We all know Whittaker's stock was high at the time, but how good was Whittaker really?

Whittaker was fucking excellent and dominate for a while. Hell, he's still pretty damn good.

People souring on Izzy after one bad loss is just fucking lol. I'm not a huge fan of his, but to act like he barely skated by? Please. He has an insane resume.

turned it off with about a min left, thought it was 2-2 and that take down would give grasso the win. didn't feel like it was a 10-8.

10-8 was a total joke. Glad to see Valentina call out the "Noche" bullshit.

unless i am remembering incorrectly, usada added session count
1695055427387.png


the text under it, seems to before session count.

The number of samples USADA has collected is typically not the same as the number of test sessions an individual athlete has been selected for during a given period, as multiple samples (e.g., blood, urine, Dried Blood Spot) are often collected during a test session. Thus, the number of samples collected typically does not equate to the number of times an athlete has been selected for an in-competition or out-of-competition test session under the UFC Anti-Doping Program. Please see above for more information about what is and is not represented in this database.

10:30am/2pm events can not sell that well, so maybe they are just going to half ass it this time. still only 7 fights announced with 33 days to go seems odds.
