right this guys acts like 90% of fighters maybe more aren’t on some form of gear or another and between the fighters and the coaches and the people that really know what’s up, nobody has a problem at all with this aspect of this very new and very different sport for most athletes that grew up playing with ball sports and teams their entire lives and this is something very different than anything like that we’ve ever tried.. Jon is the very best that has ever lived in the sport of MMA. It sucks he can’t fight Stipe and prove it even more against an opponent much much more difficult that Ciryl Gane and very possibly is an even harder matchup for Jon than Francis in some ppls opinions.. idk Francis is different in my opinion but this Jones and Stipe fight would have been Huge and so great.

There was maybe 10 pages of girls in an average Playboy issue. The rest of it was filled with cars,audio equipment,celebrity interviews,stories written by guys like Stephen King,movie reviews and all kinds of other cool shit. Anyone who says it didn't have good articles is either a woman or a guy with no balls whose wife/girlfriend forbids him to read it.
My favorite is when Igor Vovchanchyn was a teenager, his village in the Ukraine would ring the town bell whenever he was angry to warn the other villagers OR how Chael found the Nog bros trying to feed a carrot to a bus. They thought it was a horse.
He has stated that the story is a joke. He is also on record stating that he does not consider himself Ukrainian since he was born in the Soviet Union.
I love the movie Surf Ninja. Can't believe he was in that. The Three Ninjas, Surf Ninjas, Mortal Kombat, and Bloodsport were my favorite movies as a kid.
I ultimately want to see a day where every UFC fighter get's a base salary of 100k or more a year..whatever they make to fight is extra because they would have that base salary that gets paid weekly or bi weekly to the fighters.
they need to just pay gyms.trainers/camps then they can shaft all they want. The reason fighters dont have money is cause travel food and camps training arnt covered.
Thank you for covering the Pride commentary… I’ve dove deep on that on Reddit because some of the DVDs are hilarious… Bas commentated on a fight or two when he was cornering the fighter 😂
Also for “Too Small” the Bellator flyweight championship was supposed to be fought for between Former Bellator and Rizin Champ Kyoji Horiguchi and Makoto Takashi but it ended due to an Accidental Eye poke and shortly afterwards, Bellator was acquired by PFL. So officially, Bellator has never had a flyweight champion/division. They also originally sited that the reason the didnt want to open up one was because the fighters were too small and didnt make enough money.

There are long-term brain injuries associated with mixed Martial arts. It blows my mind how people have convinced themselves that this is a safer version of fighting.. you can get knocked out multiple times in a fight as long as you recover and do whatever the ref arbitrarily decides is intelligent defense.

45min video, Happy Thanksgiving!
Chris leben single handedly saved MMA with the TUF show. I still go back and watch the first season of tuf
the iceman showing up to do your books is crazyyy
''J'm'appel Art, j'étudie la philosophie nouvelle - My name's Art and i'm studying new philosophy'' ''J'ai apporté un journal pour y noter vos rêves - I brought a journal for you to write down your dreams'' ''Je ne retournerai pas en prison - I won't go back to jail'' He repeats the last one twice. Ben voilà! Edit : with love from Québec
PBD interviewing the Iceman!
thanks for this 45 minute long video 🥴😌
Calling the event by the number WORKS JUST FINE. Everyone can remember a number. No one will ever forget UFC300
Amazing long vid , was hooked the whole time
I forgot about Cheyennes interview. That sht hit hard. Dana spent a lot of time talking about making MMA an ESPN worthy sport and its been that. Combined with showing how much NFL benchwarmers make compared to fighters, its a powerful argument for a fighters union.
