Paid Members Egg Shen Posted May 8, 2023 Author Paid Members Share Posted May 8, 2023 video from the UFC 288 post-fight presser, no spoilers in here though. Dana White talking the success of Power Slap... Now is Dana White just not willing to admit Power Slap has been a disaster? is he being lied too? or is he just delusional? Which is it?

Paid Members Egg Shen Posted May 12, 2023 Author Paid Members Share Posted May 12, 2023 Gastelum is finally moving to 170... can he make a run? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members wandshogun09 Posted May 12, 2023 Paid Members Share Posted May 12, 2023 Nah. He used to struggle making 170 when he was at Welterweight before and that was 8/9 years ago when he was in his early 20s. I won’t be at all surprised if he adds a few more weight misses to his CV. And on top of that, Welterweight is a better division than Middleweight. Can’t see him having much success there. I imagine he’ll mostly be used as a Fight Night headliner and sacrificed to the likes of Shavkat and Maddalena. Fuck, I can’t see him doing well against guys like Neal and Luque.

Paid Members WeeAl Posted July 29, 2023 Paid Members Share Posted July 29, 2023 9 hours ago, Egg Shen said: UFC doing big business: Ariel with the blinkers on again there, with an unfair and factually incorrect statement. I'm glad I stopped watching/listening etc to him years ago, as he's a shill for clicks or his employer. Which is absolutely fine if you accept that being levelled at you and are open about it. He though, takes offence to criticism that he's not the impartial reporter that he thinks he is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members wandshogun09 Posted July 29, 2023 Paid Members Share Posted July 29, 2023 Yeah that’s probably more of an indication of the Australian market being hot for MMA at the moment than the UFC brand itself. With Adesanya and Volk being on top of the world, Maddalena on the rise etc. With Du Plessis not being available for that card and talk of Adesanya vs Strickland instead, watch how it gets spun as if Strickland is “a draw” despite the show nearly selling out before a main event is announced.

Dai Posted August 1, 2023 Share Posted August 1, 2023 How can you have an awards list for the year in August? On what planet does it make any sense that Leon Edwards head kick of Usman, which feels a lifetime ago, can still be up for an award in August 2023!?

Paid Members Carbomb Posted August 1, 2023 Paid Members Share Posted August 1, 2023 I'm just amazed that Liz Carmouche is up for an award in 2023. Good for her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
