“He can’t wrestle”
“He’s overrated”
“He’s vegan”
“He invited his wife’s boyfriend to live with them”
“He took his wife’s boyfriends last name”
“His wife is 46 years old”
What will they say after Saturday?
I hope people are actually listening to what Mike is saying and getting past the salty/ bad loser talk (he is salty)
I got the same talk after beating Jordan Wright in the most boring comain in ufc history. What they told me verbatim was “we want to see you actually fight”
There is a double standard, but once you’re honest with that double standard and where you stand in it your life gets so much easier.
As far as TKO is concerned there’s two tiers of fighters, makes money and doesn’t make money. If you make money the only goal is to win, and sometimes you don’t even have to win (Diaz style).
Eastern European, Russian, and Muslim fans support their fighters, they buy fight kits, they buy tickets and when payperviews were a thing they bought payperviews. When I was in Azerbaijan every single fan in the crowd was decked out head to toe in ufc fight kits. I love my Samoan people but they aren’t spending $100+ on a T-shirt.
You need to be real with yourself where you fall in this criteria, if you don’t make the company money just by existing then you need to fight a certain way. Its not fair but it’s how it is, reacting to how it is will always serve you better then complaining about how it should be.
Colby Covington to Belal Muhammad on becoming a father:
“I just got one question Belal, who the f*ck let you hit? Bro, you’re one of the ugliest motherf*ckers I’ve seen in my life. That girl must look like a gargoyle. Disgusting.”
😬😬😬
UFC just dropped raw audio from Ilia Topuria vs Justin Gaethje at the White House 👀
“Tell the doctor he can’t see… Ilia, no more fighting. It’s over. We finished the fight.”
(via @foxnation)
When UFC President Dana White sent Chuck Liddell after a cocky security guard 😂
“We were staying in a 5 star Hotel in Boston and this guy was talking all kinds of s**t. I said I’ve got a guy upstairs that will rip your f*****g face off, I’ll give you $5K if you last 2 minutes”
TJ Dillashaw’s dart. The darting right hand covers the stance switch and puts him on a new plane from which to attack. He can dart in, exiting southpaw and turning opp or he can use the dart as a V-step and attack from SP w/ inside foot position, squaring opp’s hips
Does anyone know who this is? The guy in the blue shorts
Because it’s not Ilia Topuria. At least not the Ilia that I know
I genuinely don’t recognize the fighter I was watching in the cage last night https://t.co/bUlbTzwa4l
I can’t get this out of my mind.
Jiří Procházka made the sign of the cross before trading nasty shots with Khalil Rountree Jr.
It felt like a genuine “Fuck it, I’m going all in” moment.
🫣😅 Carlos Prates says he was verbally exchanging with JDM during the takedown and knew he was scared:
⚡️Carlos: Ah you became a grappler. Now you’re a wrestler.
⚡️JDM: No, I’m complete. I’m a complete fighter.
⚡️Carlos: No, you’re scared. You’re scared of me.
