Going to start my new page off with a thread of my top 5 favourite fighters and the reason why.
No. 5 @CubSwanson
Entertains every time he steps inside the cage. Only loses to top level opponents. Unorthodox and started my obsession with footwork and movement. #MMATwitter
There’s an argument for a 10-10 in R1 and when i think about it that probably makes the most sense. Not often you see a judge go for a 10-10 though. I’d like to see that more. Still 48-47 Aljo
First chance i’ve had to watch #UFC273 tonight. I have 0 vested interest in Yan or Sterling but I’m genuinely annoyed that there are people out there who think Yan won that fight.
R1 was competitive Yan advancing most of the round but imo Aljo landed more effective strikes on the backfoot, 10-9 Aljo
R2, 10-8. I’ll take 0 argument on that
R3 uncompetitive 10-9 Aljo
R4 competitive but clear 10-9 Yan
R5 competitive, Yan more effective, 10-9 Yan
48-46 Aljo
Sorry but if you think this russian dominance in MMA has nothing to do with doping you’re insane. Every single one of them is on 💉and nothing will ever happen because USADA aren’t stepping anywhere near that country
Mens - 145, 155, 165, 175, 185, 195, 205, 205+
Womens - 135, 145, 155, 165, 165+
All hydrated, all assessed by a real medical doctor instead of a labcoat who tests your blood pressure and eyesight

Anybody criticising her is an idiot.
The heaviest credible womens weight class is 135lbs, the average woman is 167lbs - Aspen is a pro fighter lets assume she’s 155lbs, 20lb cut while on her period
I’ve defended Herb Dean countless time for some dodgy decisions but Saturday night was a disgrace. A lot of people would have gave him shit for stopping the fight but the fighters wellbeing should come first and Herb 100% prioritised disgruntled fans over fighter welfare
If a lower value fighter was pulling the stunts McGregor pulls they’d be fired/arrested and people would be calling out CTE and mental health issues.
Somehow money makes him immune to these things
@KiryuChaaaaaaan @mmagonewild Possibly Holland. Think Hall might still be too highly ranked. He could beat both but if he does, with his popularity, it puts him back in the mix with the top dogs again and ends up back at square one
