Every single one of those fighters debuted in the Octagon more than 10 years after UFC was founded and well after the promotion was reestablished on PPV and already a Vegas staple.
They helped grow the UFC, but none of them built it.
Royce
Tank
Ken
Tito
Chuck
Randy
i know everyone loves to hate cyril gane but this was a beautiful punch
his back leg cross steps so he can step forward with his lead leg and propel his right hand out over pereira's left to catch him as he's stepping in
wow
Hot take: Gaethje beating Topuria wasn’t as big of an upset as everyone’s making it out to be.
Lines should have been a lot closer than what they were imo.
A grand total of two (2) people outside my MMA-sphere have posted about #UFCWhiteHouse this morning.
Whole lotta show-and-dance to make almost no cultural impact.
Maybe it’s because I’m from New York and everyone’s been focused on the Knicks, but absolutely no one on my timeline has been talking about #UFCWhiteHouse lmao

It’s not “out of place” or “disgraceful” to be in the location it’s scheduled for. It’s more on-brand and appropriate, if anything.
It just feels like a sham. A self-pat on the back for… I’m not even sure what.
Just totally lacking any emotional value whatsoever.
Imma keep it real.
I’ve been watching MMA for over 20 years and I feel next to nothing emotionally about this whole event.
The UFC have done an outstanding job of dismantling all of the aura and intrigue that MMA used to have, and it seems to be all by their own design.
Greg Hardy missed weight by a whopping 26 pounds today over at FNC, weighing in at 292lbs.
Shoutout to Darko Stosic for still accepting the fight despite the now 52lb weight difference.
(HT @IgorFejes)
This promotion used to tell people it was the new NFL, that it would be bigger than soccer. Now it’s begging people not to hold it to the WNBA’s pay scale.
Why don't these outlets hire people who know what they are talking about to interview Dana?
UFC booked the Trump Taj Mahal before White was part of the ownership team. Trump didn't even attend the event.
When Trump was associated with Afliction MMA, UFC people talked mad shit.
