lost some weight<\/a> and improved upon his weaknesses ahead of his UFC return, but \u2026 I also remember a decade ago when a photo circulated showing Mark Hunt with abs, and then \u201cSuper Samoan\u201d showed up to the Octagon looking precisely as dense as usual.<\/p>\nShakur Stevenson and Terence Crawford putting in work:<\/p>\n
With just one or two bouts going the right direction, we could have Chris Barnett vs. Sam Alvey in Karate Combat some time in 2026.<\/p>\n
While Jon Jones is trying to punk long retired Daniel Cormier in a charity grappling match, \u201cDC\u201d finds a cutting indirect response that I believe earns him the 10-9.<\/p>\n
Congratulations to Dustin Poirier!<\/p>\n
Shavkat vs. Islam feels like the best title fight possible at 170 pounds. Who\u2019s your pick for the next Welterweight title shot?<\/p>\n
Kazushi Sakuraba remains one of the most unique and creative fighters of all time.<\/p>\n
Slips, rips, and KO clips<\/p>\n
Often, I think about how our athletic commissions in the US are fairly useless. Then, I see a clip like below and reconsider \u2026<\/p>\n
Medina caught her opponent tall after her head movement by extending the combination. Nice!<\/p>\n
About as clean of a slip-and-rip as is humanly possible!<\/p>\n
I love insane tattoo stories.<\/p>\n
