Stipe/DC is going to be held at the Apex center, so maybe in the 25' cage, seems like that would be big advantage for DC. saw last week, DC said that he was close to 265 before loosing 25lbs so far.

-
will be interesting to see what they do with Blyades now, Dana was talking a lot of shit.
Francis is going to be standby replacement for Stipe/DC, and he will certainly get the next shot if DC wins and vacates, but if Stipe wins, he could also retire, or take 6 months to fight again. Lewis is going to fight Olenik in Aug so Francis/Blyades 2 3 could be either title fight or eliminator. i don't think anyone else should get a shot at this point.

Does Vegas have odds on whether or not Stipe will be left permanently blind after the fight?

I love Big Nog;.. but GOAT...



Afterwards watch both Big Nog/Josh Barnett which is some of the most amazing ground work you'll ever see. I was a big Big Nog nuthugger at the time, and he made him verbally tap(which is very disupted).

I will say this Fedor's transitions is something the Heavyweight division won't see for a long time. He was very ahead of his time. He knew where to be before his opponent knew. MMA/UFC will see a Sambo era eventually.

Fedor is the epitome of a mixed martial artist.

Every aspect of his game is quality. Try to rank Fedors skills in order from best to worse.

1. Grappling
2. Striking
3. Ground Game/BJJ
4. Stamina/Conditioning

You could keep going but those 4 main categories could be switched up and it would still be valid. (conditioning is probably the lowest on the list no matter who ranks it, but even then he had great endurance and was almost never winded to a point where he was compromised). His striking was perhaps the most effective aspect of his game, as he has landed so many left hooks and right hands that have felled opponents. Then you add in his low kicks, body punches and ability to string punches together to create viscous combos, and you have one of the best strikers in the sport at the time.

But then you could argue his grappling was his most potent ability. He was truly the definition of an all around fighter.

dana really trying to sell this

Two weeks away from the UFC officially setting up shop there for four cards in July, the UFC president revealed a first look at the construction taking place on Yas Island in Abu Dhabi.
The photo from White’s Instagram shows an octagon built on the beach, which will serve as a training facility for the fighters traveling over there next month.
The actual fights will take place in an arena being built for the events on “Fight Island” but White has said numerous times that the athletes will be able to train on the beach.
The UFC is actually building an entire home base on Yas Island where fighters will be able to eat, train and sleep in hotels specific to the athletes and their camps.
As part of the precautions taken to construct “Fight Island,” the UFC has cordoned off a 10 square mile section where only the fighters, staff and personnel will be allowed in order to cut down on any possible contamination as the promotion continues to expand COVID-19 testing.

Anyone bother to watch the post fight interview? Dustin said he was out on his feet after Dan landed a knee in the first round, and came back to with Dan throwing hooks.

ESPN Plus is getting a $1 price hike in August to $5.99 a month, making the baseline price for Disney’s sports streaming app the same as Hulu’s basic tier.
The price hike is only being applied to ESPN Plus’ monthly fee, according to internal documents viewed by The Verge. The annual price of $49.99 will remain untouched. Existing monthly subscribers can keep the $4.99 subscription fee for a period of one year before being switched to the $5.99 price point, documents show. Disney declined to comment to The Verge.

Thats awful.

Russia is sad. Kabib might never be the same fighter. Or he could turn into even more of a monster.
