He has, sort of famously, always fought with one in his mouth. I recall several fights ago when it came to the attention of Dana that he always fought with it in his mouth, and I thought that was going to be the end of it. Apparently not...

He always has it, not sure how he has gotten away with it for so long but I know Dana knows about and I thought he told him to cut it out.

I remember after people first noticed it a few people mentioned it was some old time boxing thing that people did for....reasons. But a little googling has never come up with anything like that. Every vaguely relevant result is actually about Bendo.

Either way, man those right hooks to the body on Thatch looks brutal.


Decent event. I really like Neil Magny. His next fight needs to be someone that will get him in to the top 15 though, he's had a really easy path for a guy that keeps winning. Kunimoto was a step up but still, no one in on a 5+ fight win streak in the UFC should be fighting anyone outside the top 15 of their division. Give him Rick Story next, good test.

Max Holloway is fun to watch. Even with his weird face.

Funny, as more events per year started happening my watching them dropped as fast as it rises.

Remember M-1 with their knights fighting with swords and shit? They've apparently announced a pro "full contact jousting organization".


Awesome.

Thank god they are waiting for almost half a year to implement this. I would hate for more of their fighters be caught all juiced up.

So instead of taking the PR hit of suspending their own testing for the good of the sport they're going the other way and doubling down. The sport(NO sport) will ever be clean. Instead of taking one big hit now and saying they shouldn't be in the business of testing and it's on the commissions, pointing out the Cung Le fuckery as a big reason why, they are going to take constant PR hits for athletes who keep getting popped.

I mean, good for them trying to clean up the sport I guess, but I think it's the wrong move from a business perspective.
