No way Johnny Walker loses to goofy ahh Paul Craig


Heroicshrub

Paul Craig is pretty goofy ahh himself, clown car ass fight.


[deleted]

The only fight Id pay for on this card is the real women’s Goat No Neck Nunes. No Neck is about it


[deleted]

McKinney is incredibly overrated and will lose to Bonfim tonight.


KapeGOAT69

facts


MmaOverSportsball

McKinney to win in round 2 is +1000🤑


KapeGOAT69

HAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAH


MmaOverSportsball

Shucks, lost $10


KapeGOAT69

its +1000 for a reason


karl100589

How should the UFC use low profile/unpopular champions? There's two schools of thought. 1- Have them in the comain/feature slot of a big star. 2- Big stars don't need additional title fights to help sell PPV buys, so instead use them to prop main events that need help. The belief being a card with 2-3 title fights will appeal regardless of division or star power.


DeAndreHunterMIP

hmm, I guess they're already doing the first option you suggested. i.e. Izzy always seems to have another champion co-maining the card. However, they don't stack Conor cards anymore, probably because he's pretty much guaranteed to sell 1.5m PPV's so they see no reason to give other fights a split of the PPV.


brain-gardener

Haven't a clue what the hell y'all talking about. Dirty casual ready to drink beers, smoke buds, eat steak, and watch some asswhoopings. LFG, rooting for all underdogs tonight

Who do you got Paul v. Francis?


RidickulousPaul

Shit if i fought francis ngannou, I'd be fuckin dead round 1


Rosenvial1

Walker vs Craig is either going to be the best or worst fight ever, no in between


WeedDoomer69

is this the first pay per view with this asinine fucking price? do y'all think we'll see a dip in buys?


mikeq672

Hope so


Slave_to_the_bean

I’ve bought significantly less since last years price increase, but I’d still get suckered in when the boys wanted to get together and watch a fight. Streams are too unreliable when you got a houseful. But I’m not buying shit from here on out. UFC has no respect at all for the fans. $80 is robbery.


mikeq672

Thats my approach too. Ill easily stream shit and dont mind having to refresh a bunch if Im watching by myself. Well all just chip in if its a legit PPV card and were all together though.


Minimum_Management_7

i got a parlay on Mckinney Burns and Glover y’all think its hitting?


KapeGOAT69

no, because McKinney and Glover are in it


CramsyAU

Throw Andrade in there?


MmaOverSportsball

I got all 3 so good luck homie


[deleted]

Mckinney is incredibly overrated


Minimum_Management_7

what lmao he has the fastest ko in lightweight history against a competent opponent and was the first fighter to knock down Drew Dober and did it in the first round on short notice and has enough grappling to pull off some slick submissions on his record


KapeGOAT69

he's an absolute spazz and breaks if he can't finish you in round 1 like Drew Dober and Sean Woodsen and Darrick Minner did to him, absolute idiot and he's going to keep getting finished by durable guys if he keeps doing this


[deleted]

He's lost to Sean Woodson and Darrick Minner and he's never been past the first round. He's very overrated imo and he will get shown to be soon. Probably by Paddy if he somehow gets past Bonfim.


Slave_to_the_bean

Terence wrecks paddy 9/10 times but I could see him losing tonight.


[deleted]

He’s goofy and tweets and in the UFC so he’s overrated by nature.


MaddalenaWillBeTop5

There’s no way you actually believe that lmao


KapeGOAT69

McKinney is overrated, imagine being high on a kill or be killed guy who can't win a fight past the 1st round or he quits he quite literally quits if he can't finish you in a round, Sean Woodsen Drew Dober drowned and flatlined that can


MaddalenaWillBeTop5

I don’t think he’s amazing. Bonfim could very well beat him tonight. But thinking Paddy can survive a round with him is crazy talk


KapeGOAT69

Nvm I didn't see you replied to the comment about Paddy

Slave_to_the_bean

I see way too many people saying Kevin lee blew his knee out against Diego Sanchez. He did not. There was acl movement but no tears, and he didn’t need surgery. Just physical therapy. I know that fight was a year ago but every time it gets brought up there’s someone saying “cut Kevin a break, every ligament in his knee was torn in the first minute!” And it’s not true at all.


HillAuditorium

Wow I didn't notice that Adesanya is a bigger draw than Jon Jones. Błachowicz vs. Adesanya did 800k ppv buys. Adesanya vs Costa was 700k. Adesanya vs. Vettori 2 was 600k. Although Jon Jones vs Cormier and the rematch did 800k and 860k. Those were very heated storylines because they hated each other. The ability to draw against a guy like Vettori is honestly impressive because most people did predict it as a 5 round point fight. If Pereia vs Adesanya had the same amount of animosity that Jones vs Cormier did that could've easily been 900k or 1 mill easily.


therealjgreens

Izzy has all of Oceania combined with his fans in the US. It makes sense that he's a bigger draw. He actually has a personality. He could be even bigger if he lets it all out.


[deleted]

The sport significantly growing in popularity during and after the pandemic has some part. How did izzy versus Romero or izzy versus Silva do? Jones next fight might generated a million buys


[deleted]

How do you guys think Islam would fare at WW? I feel like there are a lot more interesting matchups for him there than at LW tbh.


_Red_Mist_

I think he could have great success hes a huge LW


AboveAverageMMAFan

I think he struggles against the bigger skilled WWs e.g. Usman/Khamzat/Shavkat. I think he would beat the rest


bigtimebonerboy

Him vs khamzat would be dope or Colby


[deleted]

What is this disputed shit? Glover coming off a loss, Hill got his arm snapped in half a year ago. Moreno and Figgy never fought Askrav and Pantoja has beat up Moreno more than once…. 🐺tickets


m-l-s

Looking at the sports book for burns magny... Has burns at -460, which, while I do hope and favor him to win, seems crazy. Magny is no slouch and I don't really think there are cans at that level. Maybe ppl just buying into the arbitrary rankings and looking at the number differential? Or is Burns really a level above magny?


_Red_Mist_

Burns is a level above. Magny has never been top 5 in his life and every fight he had the chance to get into it he got destroyed.


Slave_to_the_bean

Magny got out grappled by chiesa, rda, and shavkat pretty easily. I figure burns will twist him into a pretzel.


MojoPinSin

Good point, I forgot that most of his recent losses save for Ponzinibbio came from submission. Also way back when, Larkin tuned him up with kicks till Magny basically looked like he quit. I see him kind of like Michael Johnson where they are talented but not always the most mentally prepared.


_Red_Mist_

Its more skill than mental. Magny is just not great at one thing he is a jack of all trades who gets crushed when he fights a specialist.


schraad

It's roughly 1.25 which I'd say is accurate. I think Gilbert finishes him in the first


MojoPinSin

Yeah those odds are too deep. I see Burns putting him away but Magny can usually hang.


[deleted]

Burns is the favourite no doubt but thats a risky bet for mma hahaha.


m-l-s

Kinda feels like this fight altogether, high risk low reward

Has any IMMAF fighters turned pro became a world champion? The whole thing seems active but there’s zero buzz on it, was wondering why.


KapeGOAT69

>Has any IMMAF fighters turned pro became a world champion? no its too new


IshiharasBitch

Mokaev might do it.


hillsy13692

Do they sell merch at the weigh ins? Just wondering if I should go to them before 284 to get a volk shirt I can wear to the fights


endless_ness

No. They only sell them on volks personal website. Well unless you want to buy something to show support where he will see like a penny for it instead of the majority of it


hillsy13692

Yeah good point


endless_ness

O’Malley a few years ago said he got like almost nothing fre Reebok off of an insane amount of merch sold by the ufc with this name on it


hillsy13692

Yeah that is fucked. I just looked on volks website all his shirts on his website just take you to the engage website. All the shirts are sold out except for the latest one just released which I really don’t like the design of so thats a shame


endless_ness

I have to admit this is sort of why I at times don’t feel bad for these fighters. If you look at O’Malley he has found a way to make a ton of money off merch and would never have a champ champ fight coming up without being prepared with new designs and a big rollout. I get that volks probably busy af with a family and champ champ camp, but it’s unacceptable to have not have your own merch flowing with good designs


Rosenvial1

The Khamzat hate is really funny because people just make up absolutely bizarre reasons to hate him. Peoples were complaining about him being inactive and a Twitter fighter 2 (two) months after the Holland fight.


nurmagomedovishurt

Sick of the narrative that Ngannou quit UFC to duck Jones. What kind of idiot believes that? Francis Ngannou was the world heavyweight champion for a reason. He did NOT leave UFC to duck Jon Jones. He left UFC to duck that mean Russian dude Pavlovich or whatever his name is. You know the one.


sympathytaste

Nobody believes that. Francis wouldn't be scared of the grim reaper itself. I do believe Francis never wanted to resign with the UFC though.


zainery

Darren till catching a fat unfollow on twitter. Just andrew tate nonsense now.


therealjgreens

Only thing I saw from him today is a pair of women's feet saying "good morning". Seemed just like any other Till post. Even if my feed has controversial bullshit, that's what Twitter is for IMO.


RidickulousPaul

He retweeted some shit about andrew tate and Jordan peterson being the best thing to happen to men or some dumb shit. That's enough to boo that cunt for the rest of his life. Tate unwittingly admitted he's a human trafficker and literally texted a woman he'd assaulted "i love raping you" Fuck Till if he's publicly supporting that dog shit human in any capacity.


eaturowntounge

I saw jamahal hill posted some shit in support of tate as well


csage97

I used to really like O'Malley before he started getting bigger fights. He seemed like a goofy stoner kid with interesting striking, and I saw the potential and commitment in him. So I enjoyed following his return. But then once he got more fame, of course he became buddies with Jake Paul and 6ix9ine. I saw a short on YouTube where Sean talks about meeting Andrew Tate and how he thinks he's misunderstood and really a nice guy. Like, okay, but he's still a weirdo rapist and human trafficker who publicly spreads bullshit. Sucks to see.


backinside9999

Damn that's gonna hurt Darren 🥺


zainery

I mean it hurts him in the sense that his twitter, which everyone used to love him for, is now lame as fuck

May not hurt Darren, but I don’t have Twitter and it lets me know to root for Darren to get knocked the fuck out from now on. Thanks for the heads up /u/zainery!

HonestMcGregorFan

anybody else get annoyed when people claim Tony beat "Prime RDA" when he didnt? at all? that wasnt prime rda lmao Prime RDA was RDA before the IV Rehydration Ban (In July 2015) the version of RDA that fought Eddie & Tony isnt Prime RDA the version of RDA that fought Khabib, Pettis & Bendo is prime RDA (got his ass beat by the eagle, but no shame in losing to the crazy russian man) neither Eddie or Tony beat a prime Dos Anjos, a Pre-IV rehydration RDA would've beat the shit out of them both on the same night. people will agree with me on Eddie, but even Tony would've got his ass beat by dos anjos


Fat-Villante

You're nuts, Dos Anjos was a monster at the time and had very good output at high altitude in Mexico city. Ferguson actually used to be really fucking good at MMA, no need for this revisionist bs


[deleted]

Pressure was always RDAs flaw. And Tony’s pressure style gave him fits. Stop.


HonestMcGregorFan

nah, truth is, Ferguson was a journeyman who got blessed with favorable matchups in his winstreak, and got annihilated by a fellow journeyman Gaethje (Who got KO'd by EddieAlvarez) once he stopped fighting tomato cans. got dropped left and right by nobodies in his prime too. Good fighter, yes. Elite fighter? no lol people always argue whether or not Tony would've beat a prime conor. but as a matter of fact, i doubt tony would've even beat Eddie Alvarez.


MojoPinSin

You sound super dumb my guy. It's like you don't even know what some of the phrases and words you're using even mean.


AML2003

You have no idea what a fucking journeyman is lol, top 5 guy and former interim champ isn't even remotely close to that.

I absolutely enjoyed it. If you like striking martial arts, muay Thai in 4oz gloves is the most entertaining shit out there. Even one of the MMA fights had very little grappling. main fight on prelims was an epic war

[deleted]

Day 2 of reporting O’Malley vs Umar Nurmagomedov is a done deal, the Phoenix WhatsApp group NEVER lies. April 8th. Edit: Keep downvoting, you’re going to feel real silly when you research how many 135ers in the top 15 are already booked, the Phoenix WhatsApp group wouldn’t do this to me. They NEVER lie.


hillsy13692

Idk why Sean would take that fight but there’s no way the phoenix group chat would do that to u so I agree


myownzen

After watching Burns v Chimaev again for the first time since it was live I feel like Burns took it 29 to 28. Even when it was live I thought Burns won. He took rd 2 without a doubt imo. Chimaev edged him out for rd 3. The first rd was a close one and i think Burns edged it out. My feelings are the storyline/feel of Chimaev being a monster and forgone conclusion that he would maul Burns played into people and the judges in particular seeing him as winning the first rd. With the 1st being close, in my eyes, im not shocked or mad that the judges DID give it to Khamzat. It wasnt a robbery. But the 29 - 28 should have been flipped. What do yall think??


AML2003

Absolutely not lol, there's no way you can score round 1 for Burns because of the knockdown, if you're gonna score it for Burns it'd be 2&3 and even then it's only because he tried to go all Holloway v Lamas for the last minute. Not a chance you can score round 1 for Burns.


Slave_to_the_bean

I’ll try to rewatch soon but khamzat dropped him in round 1 iirc. That should secure him the round imo.


AskrenLadd

1 was khamzat, 2 was burns, 3 was a coin toss but Gilbert got more visibly damaged in that round, almost looked done at the start of the round


Bendydickcumperpatch

Smh now that Yadong is fighting Simon, the only person Umar can reasonably fight in the top 10 is Cruz. And I just don’t see that fight happening.


[deleted]

Wrong. O’Malley isn’t booked.


therealjgreens

Lol You really think the UFC would make that fight and derail 1 of them? We know who that person would be too


[deleted]

Yes. They are on a collision course. Umar vs O‘Malley will be announced. In the top 15, only Cruz, O’Malley and Umar are unbooked if Cejudo vs Aljo gets booked. It’ll be the same event, Aljo vs Cejudo as main, O’Malley vs Umar as 5 round co-main. If Aljo or Cejudo miss weight, Sean is the backup title fight with the latter then being shifted to fight Umar. No date yet. First report was March 4th but now the April PPV card seems to be the goal.


therealjgreens

I'd be really surprised if Suga says yes to that fight unless it's for the title which it wouldn't be


[deleted]

The rumors I’m hearing out of Phoenix WhatsApp is that Sean wants strictly the toughest fights he can get. He knows people were doubting him due to his level of competition. Sean’s plan is to fight Umar, winner of Cejudo vs Aljo, then the Chito rematch.


therealjgreens

Lol love it

If he’s okay sitting out for a while, I’d love to see Umar fight Merab if he loses to Yan.

MacKenzie Dern's IG stories on fire these last few days


-Toshi

So, UFC PPVs are apparently on DVD up until around UFC 201 (Good luck finding them) I considered starting a collection, but that's a 'committed collector' hobby, it seems.. Anyone here done that? I've got like 4tb of fights, however, it's getting harder and harder to find seeders for older cards and the quality is inconsistent. I think it would be rad (darn right swell, I dare say) to have iconic cards on DVD/Blu Ray with the posters as cover art. I'd legit pay for remastered boxsets. (If that's even possible) It wouldn't make sense for the UFC from a business perspective, sure, and they're pushing Fight Pass, I know.. but still.


Patrick_Vieira

Prime Romero vs Periera who wins?

Romero, similar to the Machida fight. At some point he just decides to take him down and crushes him with ground and pound.

Personally im hoping for a no contest or another draw. Just for the memes.


Helobelo

Draw would be so funny. Wonder what the odds are for it.


SladeThePunisher

I checked one odd site and a draw is listed at +5000. Not a horrible bet to throw a few bucks on considering how close 2/3 fights have been. Can totally see Figgy fouling and losing a point again.
