Burns back on, only a month after going the distance, and beating, Masvidal.

Triple C is gonna show that fraud just what a fraud he is.




Andrade The Beast going against Miss China. Would love to see Yan win it.

Bryce Mitchell, a good ol' farmer boy, would be good to see him bounce back.

Drew Dober on the prelims. Will shirely be moving up soon.

[Edmond]

Almost time for Johnny Walker the Irish Brazilian goofy-maniac to smesh Anthony Smith on his way to the top.

Exactly as called.


How good is Ian Garry. 25 years old, 12-0, doing to D-Rod in the 1st Round what no one ever did to him before.


How cute is Lisboa after a victory.

[Edmond]

Masvo retiring at at age 39

So, guess there'll be a fight setup for a new BMF belt.

Hopefully.


But what weight class and which fighters could fight for it?

Jon Jones, Gaethje, Oliveira, Chimaev?

They should also do a BB (Bad Bitch) one.

Yup.

Poirier v Gaethje 2, for the BMF belt (Bad Motherfucker).


The current UFC 291 lineup includes:

• Justin Gaethje vs. Dustin Poirier – for BMF title
• Jan Blachowicz vs. Alex Pereira
• Paulo Costa vs. Ikram Aliskerov
• Michael Chiesa vs. Kevin Holland
• Tony Ferguson vs. Bobby Green
• Derrick Lewis vs. Marcos Rogerio de Lima
• Michel Pereira vs. Stephen Thompson
• Vinicius Salvador vs. CJ Vergara

What a card that is!

[dirk diggler]

Holy smokes, Batman!

That is a card and a half plus a third.

I fkn love a Wonderboy Thompson comeback from a fanny hair away from deceasedness.

Yeah, Ian Garry says he wants to headline a fight against him in Dublin. Some fight that would be!

[Edmond]

The Irish Shitter still has it.


CmG: Have I told you what weight's it's gonna be? 185.

MC: I'll do 185.

CMG: You'll do what you're told.

MC: *stares into space silently*






Conor McGregor showed Michael Chandler who's boss during backstage interaction


That's gonna be a banger.

There'll be a KO in the first 2 rounds.

MC is gonna burst at him, if Conor's still got the same timing and precision, he'll move and clip him, if not, it's back to the Lambo boat.

Thompson could come back from a holiday with the McCanns

[dirk diggler]

Just fkn saying

[Edmond]

How good was the KO by Jim Miller. Most fights in the UFC, and absolutely sleeps a New Boy within 30 seconds.

Can't agree with the Kara-France decision.


How hot/cute is Silva.

Cute when you see her smile.




Hot when you see her pop a leg within a minute.

[Edmond]

Nunes has been there done that, would like to see Aldana beat her. And the way she can hit, and the way Nunes lost last time, it could well happen.

Dariush finally getting a fight he deserves, and could well sleep him, and get a shot at the the belt.

Dariush v Islam would officially be the most boring lead up to any event ever. I don't believe there have been two humans with less charisma since PeaceBlondie and Hillbilly left this mortal coil.


From the poster the first early prelim of Belbita v Oliveira fight looks worth watching.

[Backspin]

Part of the stands collapsed at the UFC event. Some ppl leaning on the edge ate shit but it doesn't look too bad.

I didn't even know that this was in Vancouver tonight. This happened in my barn

It is a recurring theme of the thread.

UFC Fight Night - Marvin Vettori vs Jared Cannonier - June 17, 2023

Epic Main Event of the UFC Fight Night.

Lock two gorillas in a phone booth and prod them repeatedly.

Most significant strikes landed in UFC middle weight history.

[Edmond]

Out of interest, are our North American based brothers (snubs and Backspin) aware of One Championship?

The Singaporean based MMA promotion lead by Thai raised half-Thai Chatri Sityodtong. Which is actually bigger than the UFC in terms of global viewers.

They held their first US based event earlier this year. Instead of only being MMA, they also have Muay Thai, kickboxing and grappling contests on their card. DJ Mighty Mouse moved over after being released from the UFC a few years ago.

The king and queen are probably Rodtang and Stamp Fairtex.








There's a good piece on Chatri here.



Are ye guys in North America aware of it, or not yet?

[Edmond]

One Championship Friday Nights series continues from Lumphini, free live on youtube.




Estonian Marie Ruumet is an interesting fighter and fine young woman, grew up in Thailand and fluent in the lingo. A scot up near the main card for good measure. Mixture of Muay Thai, MMA and kickboxing.

[Edmond]

Watta fight that Turner v Dan Hooker was.

Don't bleach your hair going into a fight if you don't want to look like a raspberry ripple.


What a lil beast Volvo is. P4P#1, tiz hard to deny it.

Jul 12 2023



Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg has said it was “an honour’’ to have a sweaty training session with Kiwi UFC superstar Israel Adesanya.

Adesanya posted a photo on social media of the pair after a workout which also featured Australian UFC fighter Alexander Volkanovski.

A report on the TMZ website stated Adesanya and Volkanovski were flown to Zuckerberg’s Northern California base after Sunday’s UFC 290 event in Las Vegas.

The 39-year-old Zuckerberg is being tipped for a cage fight with Tesla founder Elon Musk, 52.

UFC 291.

Oocha beastie!

[Edmond]

^ Yup, that's one of the best cards I've ever seen.

[Edmond]

Let's hope this trend catches on.

Drinking beer from a shoe, not so much.

^ What a boob!

Tai Emery.




She knew what she was doing.

That Bare-Knuckle is no joke.

Congrats on the victory..... and the celebration.

Was 7-0 to Chandler going into it. another loss for CmG and it's a historic 8-0 clean sweep loss for The Mac.

A great 8th fight.

Bleedin' eck CmG is a crap coach though, starts mumbling his instructions 1 on 1, half way through he's looking away from them, by the time he finishes the instruction he's walking away from them.
