Why do the judges make so much in relation to the referees?
I would think the ref would make as much as the three judges combined

Nobody goes down like that unless I hit ’em with an uppercut to the nadz – Stephen A

He can go up one of four ways:
1 – Conor plan, eat two breakfasts and two steaks every day
2 – Nate plan, just have to cut approximately 220 pounds on fight week
3 – Weight-in with his clothes on, carry on bag, full water bottle, and $50 in change in his pockets
4 – Leg transplants

Not sure if it's even uncommon anymore.
Not to belittle his situation, but it seems to happen quite often. Especially involving any kind of controversial/public/political issue, curious what the actual threats entailed. Rarely seem to get released. I’m always hopeful when I hear these stories that they’re from lame brains who wouldn’t have the courage to even look someone in the eye in real life, much less actually try to assault them

He took Latifi's spot
LHW is a barren wasteland. How is Reyes in the p4p top 15?

Colby and Usman are wrestlers trying to learn boxing, Jorge is a guy who's been throwing hands for years
It’s like watching a basketball player practicing to throw out the first pitch at a baseball game. You know they’re athletic, but damn if they don’t just look awkward/stiff doing it

Khabib didn't beat the champ ...
.. and he’s the champ

I'm assuming this guy is getting an hourly rate/on retainer
I’m sure he’d be glad to charge out $500/hour (?) to dig around, make statements, etc. Not sure how they could prove damages, I never heard the story and I read these sites almost daily. What’s one hour of Nate’s rep worth?

Don't like special rules for the champ, like the "superstar rules" we see in a lot of sports
NBA stars who get favorable calls, Tom Brady drawing penalties everytime he’s hit, certain pitchers getting balls 6" off the plate called for strikes. Trying to adjust the rules based on someone’s stature is impossible to do in a fair way. Let them earn back the title every fight.

He's a big fat guy who doesn't do cardio
Every time he spars or fights (or walks up a flight of stairs), he’s right at his max threshold. Could be any number of lurking health issues in someone like this. More of a "this could kill you some day", rather than something he’s likely to die from in the next week.

Really impressed by the article, the drop off in Jones' ring dominance is very complicated. Great job of pointing out all of the factors.
Santos, Reyes, and Gus are the only guys who like they should be fighting JBJ when you see them standing face to face. The guys he was bashing early on were old and/or small. It’s a blessing and a curse to be in a weak division, same issue for DJ. I think he struggles badly at HW, can beat most lower guys and some middle/upper level contenders, but a lot of guys have the potential to wreck him.
- Steroids are a factor and it is huge. The Russian government devised an elaborate test cheating system at the Olympics to ensure their athletes could stay juiced. Thousands of cyclists, lifters, bodybuilders, track and field athletes, football players, baseball players would argue the idea that they don’t make any difference in performance

No competent manager would let a boxer enter a cage vs. a real mma fighter
McGregor has given us the gift of endless boxer/mma fights for all of eternity

He spends more time pretending it's Borat "NNOOOOOOT" joke day that Dana White
His words and actions are polar opposites

I've been watching MTV all day and haven't seen it yet
When is the release date?

I don't know if it would be an "easy win"
Jones could hang with him for a bit. But I agree Stipe wins it

Waiting for Stefan Struve to win the title, then he'll move up
I’m sure he’s seen tape of the top guys, doesn’t want to wake up on Tuesday after fighting Stipe,Ngannou. Different fighting a depleted DC and fighting a true HW who’s at full strength.

It's a rhetorical question, there is no one
UFC 217 did 900K, and that card was absurdly stacked*
- GSP/Bisping, Cody/TJ, Rose, Wonderboy/Jorge, Mickey Gall

The article states it's a violation just to advance your fingers towards an opponent's eyes, doesn't have to be an actual eye poke?
Is that true? Always thought it would be better to have the rule this way versus needing the fighter to actually jam a finger into the eye socket to get penalized. Doesn’t really matter either way, refs don’t call shJt anyways.

The Novitzky-Foster-JBJ triangle is the great lovestyle of our time
Has anyone seen novitzky and Foster in the same room at the same time?

Guy's right, Jon's lore will never be as big as Nate.
He has the best defensive game in the UFC, he’s the Floyd of MMA. He’s all arms and legs, no torso or head. Add in height/reach, TDD, footwork, eye pokes and he’s a hard guy to catch. His offensive game seems lackluster at times, more worried about trying to style than just finish the fight.

That was the card where my drunk buddy had to climb up on the roof to clear snow off the sat dish after the 1st rd of diaz/silva
Got it running for end of round 4. Those clowns owe me $60 for buying that bag of garbage

A bit scary that theyve known he's been driving since September
US law doesn’t really treat dangerous driving as the real threat that it is. He agreed to not drive, let him sit in jail until trial

The most important female fighter in ufc/mma history
If she flops, WMMA is relegated to side show status. Look at how long the WNBA has taken to gain widespread appeal. Women are fighting on the biggest stage and biggest cards alongside (sometimes above) their male counterparts. None of this happens, or not nearly as fast, without her

Smith had nothing for JBJ, even in that pic
If he could get on the Nate program and get himself up to 650-700, he might grind out the win. IMO Jones is an ARod level cheat, but Smith tanked that fight worse than SAS thinks Cowboy tanked

Kind of like the flat earthers
Guy wouldnt even acknlowledge that Jorge whooped his ass
