[Tommy MBE]

is he ok?

Seen this morning. He was getting lots of funny comments about the interview.

Still my GOAT to me. Watching this makes me want to do what I did with Tyson going back to all his fights. Hardy doing to use fake crazy on GSP while GSP is real crazy

I have never been a die hard UFC fan. I rented some of the limited selection of early tourney tapes from Blockbuster in the 90's. I may have bought 5 PPV's in my life. When Raw was removed from Peacock, I signed up for UFC Fight Pass. My plan is to watch every PPV starting with UFC 1. Last night I finished The Ultimate Ultimate ('95).

Rich "G-Man" Goins was a good announcer and he looked especially cool with a mustache around appx. UFC 4. I also enjoyed Jim Brown on commentary. He made an especially astute observation at the end of the Joe Son vs. Keith Hackney fight.

Announced last night

 

[Kairi HoHo]

Fuck yeah! Congrats to him

I saw Brock was a big name guy that hadn't claimed yet and he'd qualify for a shit ton of money. Hoping he never does bc the full amount just gets paid out to the ones that do claim

An MMA fighter Trump hosted at the White House loses appeal in his rape case​

Well... that's one way to put it. No wonder Trump wants an UFC match on the grounds of the White House.

LONDON — The mixed martial arts fighter Conor McGregor — who's from Ireland and visited President Trump at the White House for St. Patrick's Day this year — has lost his appeal in a rape case.

Ireland's Court of Appeals ruled against him Thursday, meaning a lower court ruling in a civil case still holds, and McGregor will have to pay damages to his accuser.
