Lawler vs MacDonald 2 is still the best fight ever.

Lawler vs MacDonald 2 is still the best fight ever. Yep. So glad I was able to watch it live. Also won $200 on that card so I have fond memories of it. The moment after the 3rd round where they are both covered in blood and staring each other down before going back to the corners, and Robbie spits out a mouth full of blood, is probably my favorite MMA moment of all time.

I'm having a hard time picking between Holloway and Ortega. At first I picked Holloway just because of the pressure he puts on with his striking, but as the fight gets closer, I lean more towards t-city.
Who ya'll got and why?
Fuck it, I'm going with Ortega via submission in the 2nd DC via decision Ngannou via murder in the 1st and Chiesa, not cuz I think he is really good, but more so because how bad Pettis has looked lately

Like, I know Liddell lost his last three by vicious KO, but one was peak Rashad, another was just-about-peak Shogun and the third was not-peak-but-not-super-far-from-it Rich Franklin. He wasn't exactly getting pasted by scrubs.
Conversely, Tito has TWO KNOCKOUTS SINCE 2001. Since 2001!!! And they were both fuckin' Ken Shamrock five years after he should have retired.
So, uh, why are we thinking Tito knocks Chuck out here?

my interest in UFC has gone down majorly over the past 1-2 years, and this is exactly why. Can't look forward to ANYTHING, things always get canceled.

So, uh, why are we thinking Tito knocks Chuck out here? Somebody mentioned this on BE so I wen't back to watch those fights and it is definitely a fair point. He wasnt getting knocked out by nobodies. I guess I just have no faith that he has any real shot here being 48 and having not fought in nearly a decade. Couldn’t be more bummed about Max having to pull out. It’s the most exciting matchup at FW right now and I couldn’t wait to finally see them throw down.

It sounds like Max was really fucked too. Admitted to the ER on Monday night then passed out after the open workouts and taken back to the ER today. Sucks the fights off but it sounds like he definitely shouldn’t be in there on Saturday. I wonder if Ortega would take a replacement or just hold out until they rebook this fight.

Seen reports that there were some late replacements thrown about but that he wants to wait for Max. It could even be a quick turn around if it's nothing too serious. Heres to hoping.

Goddamnit, the ufc needs to figure out this weight cutting shit. When was the last time there was a card where a main headlining fight wasn’t canceled or changed because of a weight cutting problem?

They put out a statement saying it wasn't part of his weight cut that lead to this, but I can't imagine he would try and cut all his weight in the last 2 days before weigh in. Check out the embedded episodes where he runs into DC, dude seems completely out of it, doesn't seem like himself at all.

Mike Bohn confirmed no replacement for Ortega and there are rumors that Frankie Edgar/Jeremy Stephens will figtt for an interim title. Fuuuuuuuuuuuck that noise.
Edit* nothing confirmed for FE/JS obviously but that would be such a terrible move.

Pissed that all my bets are fucked up now.

Yeah after reading more about it, sounds like people are speculating t was a concussion that was complicated by a weight cut. Hopefully it’s nothing too serious and Max can get healthy again. The open workout looked real bad.

Anyone follow TUF this season? Checking out the TUF matchups for tomorrow night and Gunther v Zuniga is just silly. Both those dudes looked like such garbage on the show. Can't believe they're on Fox while Diamond v. Mitchell is on Fight Pass. Those dudes actually have some promise.

Also, surprised Ricky Steele didn't get another shot. He won his fight but got injured.

WAR CORMIER. But I would be fine with Stipe winning, too. 2 sweet dudes. I’m nervous for DC. This is a great matchup but I really like both fighters. I don’t want either one to lose.

fonk THIS STUPID fonkING SPORT Between weight cut drama, Ronda’s flop, and the fact that they won’t get their shit togethher and make a proper streaming subscription... for real. I am still into it but there’s just so few fights to get excited about anymore. They need to stop riding the PPV diq, it can’t possibly be as lucrative anymore.
