If I'm Conor, I'm pushing to keep Holloway out and Masvidal in. Think UFC is favoring Holloway for a fight of more meaning-- but ultimately Masvidal Conor is going to sell the most tickets. I could see Dana pushing back on Hunter to get Masvidal in.

Holloway said he will fight at any weight vs Conor this week.

Called it back in March. They favored the more serious fight as I thought Hunter would.

That fight sucked, Carano wasn’t prepared at all.
How long before she hippos out again?

Eh its not that hard to keep weight off once you've lost it and she doesn't look like she has Ozempic-face which means she presumably put the work in to lose it. I would expect her to fill back out a bit but I don't think we'll be seeing her hippo form again.

I think people forgot how Rousey was winning fights during her career. She basically steamrolled girls or lost. Very few of her fights got out of round 1.

No everyone remembers, women are just horrible. Armbars aren't something that difficult to defend

Maybe is prelims or something but when was the last time you guys saw an armbar or heel hook? Maybe Brock Lesnar for a heel hook for me.

UFC 320 had a main card armbar and UFC 321 had a prelim heel hook, both in October last year.

Most recent main card heel hook I could find goes back to that piece of shit Palhares at a UFC Fight Night in 2013.

Proves the "Good Guy Francis" floated during his UFC negotiations for healthcare/fighter pay were bs. He couldn't just say 8 million dollars for 3 fights with win conditions vs Jon Jones was too little money, so he made up a bunch of bullshit.

He made millions while his opponent got beer money. Glad that's settled. This guy was on a podium pontificating about how he's here to help fighters, PFL this and that, only for Lins to make dirt for a concussion and possible future CTE.

Healthcare my ass. Ngannou has the type of negotiating power to get Lins paid 250k-500k and he didn't use it.
