@richvilliann@KickStreamingHQ Yeah, it’s bully behavior. They were threatening and pushing up on someone that can’t defend himself. Not saying they should fight Ryan, but if you’re not willing to accept the consequences of being violent in public, it’s an activity that should be avoided.
@ThaWeasle Can’t feel bad for them atp, really. They had every chance to unionize, push for better pay, or go the route Francis did. Seems like these fighters are content with begging Dana for fight bonuses and locker-room envelopes of cash.
@RealKiTsKorner@connerburks It’s not about the poster dawg. It’s about a multi billion dollar company giving out a slop product every weekend. It’s the same reason we won’t be watching Ilia vs Islam on Sunday. People like you are happy with the bare minimum instead of asking for better shit.
@bulliedb170 There was an interview of Beneil Dariush calling Conor out for taking steroids with a medical exemption a few years back and Conor responded pretty much admitting to it on X and said “you people don’t want me to be able to play with my children” or sum along those lines.
@mmawigger@BenJMMA03 Broke down meaning using attritional damage ( i.g. leg kicks, jabs, and knees/kicks to the body) mixed with aggressive footwork to continuously force Izzy to make bad decisions to which lead to the finishing sequence. Do you think Alex just got lucky?
@ThisIsNotDSP Multimillionaires going into a yogi’s garage to do sit-ups and spit in water bottles instead of hiring a team for their championship fights. A very serious sport, indeed.
@ThatCageMathGuy@Topuriailia Ilia is getting put out cold within the first two rounds via left hook dawg😭😭. Ryan is better at every aspect of boxing compared to Ilia.
@MameronCagee266 What’s even crazier is that he agreed to fight Carlos fucking Prates at 170. Seems like he’s looking to be the first death in the cage.
@robwhit478190@JDillaThaKilla@gdmtalkss You could make an argument that MW is uniquely bad compared to the other higher weight divisions. Welterweight is on fire with prospects and Heavyweight has Alex and Tom. LH is bad but the occasional Jiri shitshow makes up for it. Been years since a MW has entertained me.
@BrisFrog@rhyswithispoon I long for the days where Whittaker was booting guys across the temple in the middleweight division. Now he’s old and the division is filled with different fonts Brendan Allen.
@blessedcasual Ulberg is out for a year so I see them making him drop the belt like the last three champions. They’ll probably do Ank vs Jiri at the end of the year. As long as Jiri is fighting, he’s like one blood and gut fight away from the belt due to how dead the division is.
@QuisqueyanoMMA To add to that, I’ve been seeing people say Ulberg is a super technical counter puncher, to which, I don’t see at all. Nothing about him tells me he’s won’t get put away in the later rounds after Jiri starts landing clean.
@SnoopyOnCr4ck@nbfwatall@captaincaleb18@CamHaller On top of all that, he pulled that dumb shit in Texas of all places, one of the harshest place regarding sentencing in the country. They’re gonna throw his dumbass under the jail.
@TheMMAlien At the big age of 30, he’s pulling out the ol’ BPD 14 year old girlie special. Reminds me when Jon blamed Satan for beating the mother of his children. So many upstanding men in this sport.
@ThisIsNotDSP@blessedcasual I’d sadly have to agree. Even at a diminished state, Silva had the air of being dangerous. Genuinely, what does this Izzy have in his arsenal to stop someone from simply walking him down?
We might be looking a Hall of Fame run of getting beat tf up from Izzy, tragic to see.
@whale_collector He said in the post-fight interview that he will never stop fighting. Got Tony Ferguson flashbacks. I don’t think I can handle him getting finished by a Brandon Allen.
