I was reading about ufc roster size and apparently it’s around 650. That’s way too many. It should be like 350 max imo
Gotta fill out those Apex cards, somehow. In related news, I heard the Apex is gonna undergo some renovations to allow for more spectator seating, which is probably good news. I don't think it's going to result in better card quality, but the novelty of a (mostly) silent arena is long gone and maybe they will upgrade to the full size cage.

I agree with you 100% but it will probably never happen because I'm guessing at least 150 of those guys are on the $12 K-$12 K deals.

The Apex shows are completely lifeless. I just outright miss more shows now than I ever have before.

Based on the prefight energies I feel like Izzy is gonna kill him.

Izzy looked on his way to win.

The gimmickry of the screen was cool at first but I still prefer the ambience of a regular crowd and arena.

I also don’t like how they show the prefight hype packages on the graphics, it really feels annoying to watch it in the corner of the tv.

That was very satisfying to watch.

I thought it was a fun concept, I tend to agree if it is a one off or a once every 3-5 years it would be fine. I don't think it would have made a huge difference, but I think they erred by not giving a little glimpse of what they were going to do with the screen during the prelims.
Wish I would have put the majority of my gambling account on Merab by decision. I think I bet against O'Malley his previous three fights so I just was too hesistant to do anything besdies a small bet.

Won a nice little parlay bet with Merab, Lopes, Valentina, and Dumont. Felt like safe picking.
The Sphere was cool for wide shots, but just seemed gimmicky, and overhyped.

That Orolbai third round is one of the craziest I’ve ever seen.
RDA of a few years ago could hang with dangerous welterweights but at this age it’s always a foregone conclusion.

This is fucking depressing, man. These golden era fighters are being left to suffer and die on the side of the road. Shane was a guy who was legit smart, and now he can’t even tie his fucking shoes.

Always nice seeing Chandler’s take a one-sided thumping.

That last round was crazy.
Stipe looks like he got on the gas in his time off. Maybe this will be more competitive than I thought.

Welp, guess he didn’t have steroids to reverse the aging process.
Old guys don't win these fights, and these entire PPVs are full of these fights and usually the headliner is one of these fights, so it's no wonder that it feels like the UFC is circling the drain.
It's really unfortunate to see something that I liked so much go down the shitter like this.

The MAGA shit is gross and makes me want to stay home from the bar. Plus it took til Rd 3 of the main event to stop pretending they weren't plugging an old rusty guy into a title match.
I enjoyed the 3 hype trains being derailed in a row, even if 2 of them ended up winning.

This is the most aggressively right wing sport I've ever seen in this country. I don't think even Golf or old NASCAR were this abrasive about it. I can't watch the UFC at all anymore. I was considering watching Jones vs Stipe, but I know Supreme Leader Trump would be there, and get fellated by every person in the building.
I loved MMA since I watched UFC 5 when I was way too young for it. Up until 2019 or so, it was my favorite sport. I just haven't been able to watch since the pandemic. The whole company is in the toilet. I wish Japanese MMA never died and was just as big as the UFC.

Yeah I didn’t even get into that. They are aggressively pushing fans away from the show by wrapping it in politics. Nobody else does this.

Jones changed his answer from the cage to the presser

As someone who has only ever been a casual fan of UFC, this is the source of tremendous cognitive dissonance on my part. It's basically the negative inverse of the WNBA, both in terms of its athletes, and the fans it openly courts.

Jury finds McGregor liable for sexual assault
A civil jury in Ireland has found that mixed martial arts fighter Conor McGregor sexually assaulted a woman in a hotel penthouse after a night of heavy partying.
Finally proven (albeit not in a criminal court).
No words.
