If true it highlights two contradictions from the UFC. They’ve moved to a “no-star” business model yet rely on washed stars like Jorge and Perry to boost local ticket sales. Plus given how much they trashed the MVP card they’ve signed a lot of fighters from it (+ wanting Nate)
A massive and most likely the co-main event to the rumored Sean Strickland vs Nassourdine Imavov middleweight title fight is in the works when two major fan favorites return to the UFC octagon in a 3 round welterweight bout when Jorge Masvidal (@gamebredfighter ) takes on Mike Perry (@platinummikeperry ) at the Kia Center in Orlando, Florida. We are hearing the date is 2/20/27 but it could pivot too 2/27/27 HT: Bert MMA #ufc #ufc337 #mma #orlando #florida

Something me and Mitch discussed on the Preview Show; who is the “babyface” in the main event? Are people rooting for Gane because they want someone to shut Hokit up or do they want Gane to get his comeuppance for years of cheating?

A real boss would’ve got shot of them by now. But money always trumps ethics.
🚨😳 Dana White says brawls are always breaking out whenever Khabib Nurmagomedov’s team or Khamzat Chimaev are in the building:  “Anywhere the Khabib crew shows up, there’s usually some fights going on. Or Khamzat and all these guys. To do it in a place like the Middle East? Not good.”

Weight bullying kick-boxer is allowed to jump to the front of the queue at Middleweight. Where have I seen that before?

The PFL barely pulled 10k with Francis, Cyborg and Pacheco. How can the GFL expect to succeed with a veritable who’s that of MMA? I’m all for new promotions, but this feels like a Mickey take at this point.

The sad thing is this isn’t an isolated incident. Him and that team have a track record of jumping people and causing trouble outside the cage. Unfortunately their fandom is such they’ll get a pass from the UFC as per normal.
Disgusting from Usman Nurmagomedov and his team. Awful viewing.

Question for old school fans. What do you consider PRIDE's worst ever card? Most of the time we talk about them with rose tinted glasses, but was that really the case? Did they have their own UFC 33?

I'm seeing people kicking off about Denise Gomes potentially getting a title fight, and don't understand the venom. She's on a five fight winning streak and beat a former title challenger last time out. I get people love Weili, but you can't keep putting 115 on hold for her.

Can I be controversial? Zabit was incredibly overrated. He had the flashy kicks and takedowns, but his cardio only lasted two rounds. If he stuck around he would’ve got title fights/ main events and his limitations exposed. Retirement made him mythical.
7 years ago, Zabit's last MMA fight and the last UFC event on Russian soil 🧐

Each to their own obviously, but can a fight really be "The Biggest WMMA Fight Of All Time" when you have such little faith in its pulling power you think its best served playing second fiddle to Ciryl Gane?

It’s not just MMA. …It’s the world that’s rotting there was a time when people hid behind fake accounts to say the stupid things they were too ashamed to say publicly. …Now the masks are off. The side of people they used to keep hidden behind closed doors is out now .We live in a world where people are so desperate for a viral moment that they don’t care whether the attention is good or bad. Respect, decency, and basic humanity are being sacrificed for clicks and views… the saddest thing is People are starting to think this is normal.
Idk what’s happening in the MMA world lately but this left me utterly disgusted, like wtf?

I know people say WMMA are a few years behind the men’s game, but Suarez was looking like Dan Severn in there at times.

Can satire exist when the real thing is this absurd?
TRUMP: OFFERED DANA WHITE OF UFC THE ROLE OF PRESS SECRETARY

Hot take: One of these two should be fighting for the Strawweight belt next. Lets reward active fighters.

Can we stop giving this obnoxious meathead airtime? I've seen volcanoes which are more active.

There’s no lore. He fights like a berserker and if he can’t finish you in three minutes gives up.
I mean, seriously, this is some kill-or-be-killed energy. Somebody needs to sit down with Terrance McKinney and ask him what the hell is going on. What's the lore behind these INSANE stats?

I can't stand Hokit, but his rise exposes two major flaws with the UFC. 1- Controversy and having a schtick carries more weight than meritocracy. 2- The heavyweight division is so bad a natural middleweight can be a contender off agility alone.

Bringing a whole new meaning to “ground and pound”
This is by far the most diabolical thing I’ve ever seen done in an MMA fight 😭😭😭

Kayla had 99% signed to the UFC in 2021, but Julie beating Nunes at 269 caused them to pull the offer. It explains the broadcast showing Kayla in the crowd (something they never do for non UFC fighters) and Kayla's reaction after the fight.
Name the sports conspiracy theory you 100% believe. No hedging. No 'well, actually.

I always get bothered by the "Ronda only fought cans" narrative. Tate, McMann, Kaufman, Carmouche and Budd are all very good wins, plus Davis, D'Alelio and Zingano who all dominated Nunes. The problem is people see Bethe and think all of Ronda's opponents were like that.
