HE DOESNT HAVE HOBBIES, MAN.
fun hot rumor: Zingano-Cyborg, maybe at 140, UFC 198. Cat's definitely got a fight with someone on the books, it seems.

The USADA db shows she's already been tested 3 times by them, but all last year, last time in December as some places wrote about at the time.Quote:

Very cool video here. May be a few moonlandings in it, but once I got to the part about Daron Cruikshank being the UFC's Landon Mark, I had to pause and IMMED share.

You have to give it to Diaz embracing in the media as much as he has since his win over Connor. It's something he's never felt comfortable doing since he mumbles so badly but at least he's doing it here which of course is for his own financial gain but still he's now playing that part of the game.
I know I've touched on the 'its fucking suicide to move up in weight' theme before, but Conor just told Dana that he cant cut to 155 at this point without an IV.
Which leads us to: Conor is apparently booking a rematch with Diaz for UFC 200.

145 champ can't cut to 155. LOL. I gotta start easing up on FPS_Russia for trolling a troll sport.
if he fights Diaz again he better vacate the belt.
Still unsure why McGregor would want to again unless it's at 155.

just rip the bandaid off dude and let frankie and aldo sort it out.
honestly its so insane that i seriously wonder if the '155' number was misreported and he said 145 but even fucking so, he STILL has to vacate.
UFC Brisbane weigh-in LIVE now:

Little nervous about the line drop on Hunt, but I still think he wins.
Also like Te Huna ITD -170 and under 1.5 -190
ive got medium action on hunt with some minor prop hedges for mir in rd2/3/4. but honestly i think hunt crumples mir in the first. mir has some of the the shittiest head movement in the game, is slow, is old, and has a glass jaw. maybe hunt just fucks it all up and refuses to fire or something but on paper hes basically pure kryptonite here.
nice to see last minute action going on nakai, thats a bit reassuring.
I just came here to say I was watching a replay of the weigh ins and saw Nakai for the first time..... She looksQuote:

I think she's going to have some serious problems in the UFC because she's really used to Japanese scoring, which basically rewards fighters for circling their opponents, but the thing is... Smith is just fucking terrible. Like there wont be an easier fight for Nakai. She should be able to close distance and lock up takedowns -> rnc here.
But if she hasnt worked on her wrestling and/or decides to win via lateral movement and/or gets a case of the Curse of the Japanese MMA Fighter, I mean, fuck. Shes super talented, its her fight to lose. I hope someone gave her a good camp.
she's a talent for sure, and couple probably rip a limb or 2 off fairly easily from most regular ppl, but you guys are way braver than I am to bet on a Japanese national in the UFC.Quote:

The thing that really gives me pause is watching her try to clinch with Tate; she couldnt really get her hands together for a body lock because everyone is fucking huge compared to her. So yeah, I'm a bit out on the limb here but again, wow is Smith ever bad.
if.. big if.. if my nakai money ships, im going to stack on magny.
OMFG WITH THESE COMMERCIALS / PROMOS HONESTLY
OMFG look at those arms
rin is not doing what she needs to fucking do to win.
yeah i hate to say i was wrong but rin isnt able to handle that body type. its just that simple.
and 90% of everyone in the division has that body type.
I think she may have figured it out at the end of the round. If her corner is smart they willQuote:
