If you didn’t enjoy the fighting styles last night…

Very few complained about Khabib. Few complain about Islam. Why? Because they aim to beat their opponent, not win by points. I quite don't understand, just because it's MMA it means I have to appreciate points fighting?

How???

Should he have not signed Val and Merab??? lololool

Why was he upset that those two high level fights weren’t jbg slug fest?

They’re crotch sniffing fans that pretend to love grappling because they think it makes them seem sophisticated when in reality they aren’t even blue belts and definitely have never heard of Sherdog. I like fighting with my fighting. This isn’t the Ultimate Force Your Opponent To Wall Sit Championship.

You want that much grappling go watch wwe/bjj/csw there are plenty of options but this stuff here is killing the sport.
But I also think the fact that we are still having specialist matchups in 2024 says something about the current state of MMA. Sean is as good at striking as Merab is at grappling, Merab is as horrible at striking as O’Malley is at grappling.

Yeah I prefer a little bit of actual fighting in my Ultimate Fighting Championship fights. I can’t even call that fight an assault and feel honest about it.

As soon as Merab did actually engage at the end of the 5th he got hurt almost immediately.

Exactly, it's not about not like grappling it's about not liking stallers who don't look to advance and put away their opponent.

The recent Craig Jones Invitational was a pure grappling competition that was a very exciting to watch.
