There will be blood in this one

Yeah he has seemingly never found a spot with the fans for some reason. He's a killer and a respectful dude. I feel like folks maybe don't get that he likely has some social anxiety and maybe doesn't resonate with many folks. I dig him though.

He's a wrestler. He doesn't talk shit. He has a speech impediment. He doesn't have a true signature win but some really tough, highlight level losses. It makes sense. Plus, the guys who have beaten him are very polarizing fighters who people either love or hate strongly. He's fodder for them as well. It's a perfect storm of shit. I think Blaydes is one of the most well rounded and talented fighters at Heavyweight, he just hasn't been able to put it all together, especially in big moments and mentally. This is a big opportunity for him. Hopefully he finally seizes it.

Felder had a damn good career but never lived up to the hype.
I remember Felder was on that Erick Silva level hype train lol

Still don't know how he went from brutalising Charles Oliveira to losing to Mike Perry in his very next fight.

I bet that was awesome. I got to see him years ago at Lollapalooza but that setting was less than ideal for his show.

Yes indeed. Ice Cube, Bone Thugs & Harmony, Warren G, The Dogg Pound and buncha dj's. I think they are mixing up the shows from city to city on this tour but I highly recommend it to anyone. The sound was fabulous and the crowd was lit. First concert I've seen in a long time. Want to see other live shows now.

Yeah the UFC is throwing him a bone here. Jared is solid fighter but this is a horrendous style match up for him. Bobby is elite when it comes to striking and has +TDD

Agreed -- Gordon is a dog, but I don't think he has much for Green. Gordon is a grinder that tends to edge out decisions at 155, but I just don't feel he poses any clear advantages or threats over Green. In thinking Green by a comfortable decision and likely not the most entertaining fight (I hope I'm wrong about that though).

 

[CleverNameEh]

Nap time incoming!!!

Who's gonna be the one catching winks?

 

[HuskySamoan]

Smelsburger has to be one of the worst last names in the game.

 

[Axe720]

Convince me Minty is an MMA betting expert and not just reading off a teleprompter.

Convince me she looks good with less clothes on. Someone. Please.

 

[MeatWagon06]

Hoping this is a fookin' banger !!!

 

[Liverkick-king56]

Still don't know how he went from brutalising Charles Oliveira to losing to Mike Perry in his very next fight.

Didn't he break his right arm and kept throwing spinning back fists? I remember it was such a weird fight but don't remember why.

 

[Burd]

Where’s the crowd??

 

[Jackonfire]

Did you hear that @HI SCOTT NEWMAN ? Semelsberger said no Skittles this training camp

 

[HuskySamoan]

Smellyburger has good hair, puts Masvidals cornrows and receding hairline to shame.

 

[Tchernobog]

Lol, chewing tobacco ?

 

[Paynebringer]

Main Card...!

 

[MeatWagon06]

Convince me she looks good with less clothes on. Someone. Please.

She supposedly has dinner plate nipples.

[Deep808State]

Hopefully Wells knocks him out. No way am I rooting for a guy that eats sour skittles

 

[HuskySamoan]

Yo he walked out to Samurai Champloo

 

[Yoricks Wisdom]

great, now I can't get that Charly chick out of my head.
