All Things UFC & MMA

Managed not to so far and I've had mine busted a few times.

 

If that went 5 it cound have been a different story. Zabit was gassing at the end there. Smart move by his team only going 3.

 

Blaydes vs. Dos Santos
Sandhagen vs. Edgar
January 25

 

Exciting main and co main. Cant wait for tickets to go on sale.

 

Whooohooo!!!

 

Carlos Condit pulls out of the Dec 7th card in DC due to injury. Hoping Jon Jones announces he will fight that night, doubtful since its not a pay-per-view event

 

Jones made a subliminal statement today that indicated a match with Reyes in the very near future

 

Ortega vs Korean zombie

Dec 21st

 

that’s who I’d bet on but this match up has the potential to be a war

 

Anyone else just watch the live weigh ins for tomorrow's fights?

 

Askren announced his retirement on Ariel Helwani show

 

Claims he requires hip surgery and that’s the reason why he’s hanging it up. I feel like that’s only part of the reason. I feel like after his success at Bellator he thought he was going to run through UFCs welterweight division and got wrecked instead

 

It's like going from the minors to the majors in baseball. All those minor league guys are very, very good. The major league guys are just on another level.

 

I’d agree. Ask Sage N.

 

I also read that Askren admittedly said he just wasn’t good enough to his opponents that beat him. At least he admitted it .

“I lost because I wasn’t good enough. Plain and simple. My opponents beat me and they were better than me. I want that said out there. These hip issues for me are totally separate. I lost because I wasn’t good enough. These obviously seems like excuses, but I do not want them viewed in that light,” he concluded.

 

I always liked askren. Seemed like a super likable guy. His humor was funny, not over the top cocky, and he was gracious in his defeats.

 

I think Askren would’ve had a lot more success in the 170 division if he stayed and fought guys ranked in the 5-10 zone. He kinda came over to the ufc on a hype train. He had a colorful character and talked a big game and invariably got thrown to the wolves straight away. I would’ve like to see him stick around and get some more matches but like we said, UFC is home to the elite.

 

He's doing BKFL if I'm not mistaken.

 

for real?
