RDA shut Lee down completely. I wonder what's next for Lee.
Sage Northcutt got SMASHED!

Kevin Lee with only 1 win in the last 4 fights.  Similar to Mike Perry who managed to get his 2nd win out of his last 5 recently.

Talk so much shit but when it comes to it, when you are losing consistently you need to turn the shit talk off and get your shit sorted.

Lee could probably do with a change of attitude and camp. He gassed so quickly in that fight, you could see his breathing after the first round was like he was after doing 3 already. Surprised RDA didn't end it sooner tbh but probably playing smart and it worked.

Fight Night 153, be interesting to see how Smith v Gustafsson goes.

Just checking out the 238 main card.  Really hope Cowboy fucking destroys Ferguson. Ferguson is just bloody annoying and I'd love to see cowboy get  a title shot. Just seems to be when he's not feeling it it ruins him getting to where he could be. As a champion I don't think anyone could not get behind him..

As for the headline fight, Cejudo... just no. When he talks, the cringe rivals  Joanna Jedrzejczyk's.

Yoel Romero sued a supplement company back in early 2018 I think it was and just won his case.. 27.5 million for the tainted supplements that caused him to fail his USEDA test!!! D:

Kowalkiewicz v Grasso:  TBH Kowalkiewicz seems to have 1 foot out the door already. She took so much unnecessary damage in the fight for 3 full rounds. Can see her finish up in the not to distance future.

Sterling V Munhoz: Great fight, Sterling was like something out of the Matrix. Great technique to watch.

Suarez V Ansaroff: I think everyone had Suarez pegged for this but while I'm not overly familiar with Ansaroff's previous fights, she really nullified Suarez on so many occasions. Honestly thought it could have gone either way! Good fight though.

Tuivasa V Ivanov: When the heavyweights go into a 3rd round you tend to be watching two guys gassed out hoping for the lucky shot rather than a game plan. TBH while they were fairly gassed Ivanov had some serious speed in his punches but def won that. I think Tuivasa doesn't take things as serious as he should and he's on a 2 fight losing streak now. While he seems to be popular enough, fighters are getting cut quickly these days so he'd really wana hope for a win next fight.

Yan V Rivera: Jesus the speed of Rivera's kicks, they actually look sped up when he'd miss. Really good fight, Yan was really on form for him throughout, knocking Rivera down in the last 5 seconds of R1 & 2, came close to ending it a few times.

Tony V Cowboy:    ffs like, had been really looking forward to this. Cowboy had R1, Tony got Cowboys timing down by then and messed him up in R2. That punch after the bell at the end was pretty shitty, it came pretty late but despite what dopes on line are saying, wasn't the reason for the stoppage. Cowboy blew his nose between R2/3 and blew out his eye. He even said it himself, a fucking stupid thing to do for someone of his EXP. Really shitty way to end what most people were calling the real headline fight. Cowboy seems to have fucked himself over again 

Shevchenko V Eye: Shevchenko  dominating in R1 although I was hoping this wouldn't go to decision and Shevchenko would destroy her. ...I wasn't let down  Head kick from hell, Eye went to another dimension 

Went to bed after that, cba watching last fight tbh

Cowboy looked slow compared to Ferguson. I don't think he would have pulled it back.
The head kick from Shevbullet was savage.
The jones fight is Ppv through BT sports. It seems the numbered events are going down that route for U.K./Irish viewers. Fuck right off. Pay for the sports package then pay more for the bigger cards. I could be wrong but I don't see that model working here despite claims of mma being on the rise.

Would love to see Ferguson kill the Khabib hype once and for all

The Fergerson - Cowboy fight was good as expected except for the shit ending. Fuck Fergerson for that punch after the bell. He handled it well at the end and managed to get the crowd back on his side.  I hate Henry so much, not many care about him winning the titles in what are practically women's divisions.

Stupid greedy move by BT the UFC isn't popular enough for PPV in Ireland and England so it's just going to push more people away. I remember when I was younger and use to watch wrestling all the PPV's were free on Sky then recently I heard they started charging for them so I guess it was only a matter of time before it started with the UFC. IPTV is the way to go. Where I currently am it costs about $70 for each UFC PPV and now since January you also have to subscribe to EPSN to even have the option of buying the PPV.

I went to UFC 206 got decent seats and what we paid for tickets was about $10 more than what it would have cost to sit at home and watch the PPV it's ridiculous. I know Dana and the lads are as greedy as it gets but if they started something similar to what Bellator have with Dazn having a flat monthly fee of about $20 and you get everything they would clean up.

I have only missed watching one UFC event live over the last year and that was the fight night in Sweden recently because I got the times mixed up and I haven't paid for a single event but if they started a reasonably priced subscription type thing I would definitely buy it. 237 only got 100,000 PPV buys.

I cancelled my eir sports this morning. The fella on the phone told me 2 others before me just cancelled for the same reason.
He probably should not have said it but it goes to show the system was working as it was.

[mickO)))]

I know someone else who cancelled this morning and the customer care rep they spoke to apologized to them and said they were embarrassed by what is happening.

My all time favohrite Machida..what a win. Chael Sonnen, what a competitor, went out on his shield. Just watched the Bellator highlights there, looked like a great night of fighting. Dillon Dannis won, though I haven't seen the full fight. I really enjoy the Bellator stuff almost more than UFC now..UFC has great quality but Bellator feels more old school or something. Great stuff.

[Circlepit]

Dillon Danis was in there with as a complete amateur or near enough to it. So I've read anyway. I'd love to see Machida back on top.

[DeletedUsermNqGIiIuGy]

Dillon Danis
Fights 1 fight 14 months ago.. spends said 14 months talking unmerciful shite.. wins another fight and talks about McGregor

Get out!

 Not mma  but Artem shut Paulie up last night.
GOAT.

[Pedrito]

Rafael Lovato JR excellent last night in Bellator. The bare knuckle thing is so poor that I doubt it will last another year. Artem an animal, fair play to him.
