What's Up With The MMA Media Bashing Dana White? @BloodyElbow
Ok, so my website design kinda sucks, so the image above is kinda cropped unintentionally. But basically, some writer for Bloody Elbow is upset at a comment Dana White made. And it makes absolutely no sense. Let me break it down for you. But first of all here’s a link to the article I’ll be referring to. Opens in a new tab ;). The critique against Dana is based on a comment he said while on The Schmozone Podcast about the coronavirus, where he said: “The entire world has turned into p***ies overnight and it’s unbelievable and it drives me…
Rafael Dos Anjos REALLY Wants To Fight Conor McGregor, And It Really Doesn't Make Sense
What year is this? 2016? So in the case that you have no idea what’s going on, I’ll fill you in from the beginning. Basically, former UFC Lightweight Champion Rafael Dos Anjos has re-lit the fire inside of him, and he seems as motivated as ever. This is a great thing to see, because as many fighters have stated before, mindset plays a big part in an MMA fighter’s success. However, this has led to him calling out McGregor (who is ranked #4), whilst being unranked in the Lightweight division. This all started off when Dos Anjos was part of…
Fight Night: Is Anyone On Earth Rooting For Kamaru Usman?
So I’m sitting here after looking at the odds for Usman (-235) vs Masvidal (+185), and they are really surprising in terms of how close they are. We’re talking about a guy who wasn’t training, coming in on six days notice, fighting the best welterweight in the world, and who is at both a style and size disadvantage. +185? Yet every poll I’ve seen this week has 70% of the fans picking Masvidal as the winner. If the fans put their money where their mouth is, then obviously Masvidal would be a heavy favorite. But people like keeping their money,…
Joe Benavidez And Deiveson Figueiredo Set To Fight (Again) For The (Still) Vacant Flyweight Title – Combat Museum
So as you guys already know, UFC Flyweight contenders Joe Benavidez and Deiveson Figueiredo previously fought for the vacant title after former champion Henry Cejudo decided to vacate it. Their fight took place on February 29, 2020, with Figueiredo winning by sceond-round TKO. All good, champion decided right? Except that Figueiredo missed weight, and was ineligible to win the championship in that fight. Quite literally the worst possible outcome for the fight. So of course, the title was still vacant, and people assumed a rematch would take place, again for the title. Well, it seems their rematch will soon take…
UFC Flyweight Lauren Murphy On 'The Ultimate Fighter': “I Wish I Had Never Gone On That Show” – Combat Museum
It is well known that UFC Flyweight Lauren Murphy does not like Eddie Alvarez. Their issues stem from Murphy’s appearance on Season 26 of The Ultimate Fighter, where she was placed on Team Alvarez. However, it seemed as if Murphy was not compatible with Alvarez, and their issues became well documented, due to the nature of the show. Part of her issues with Eddie revolve around the fact that she lost her first fight on the show to Nicco Montaño, the eventual winner of the show. It even got to the point where she made the decision to switch teams,…
Is Anyone Really Asking For Masvidal v Diaz 2?
I have made my long-awaited return to the blog. I’m sorry to have left all three of my readers waiting, but I’m back at it like a crack addict. When I heard this story, I just had to write about it. Because when I heard Masvidal v Diaz 2 was in the works, my first thought was: what the heck? (If I was writing this post on my phone, this is where I would insert the pondering and sleeping emojis.) Who the hell is asking for this fight? Who wants to watch Masvidal to piece up a slow-starting Diaz for…
