[The Infamous]

How so?

Dana is making it seem like both fighters are in a way avoiding Conor. When in reality, Frankie is injured and Aldo hasn't been training. It doesn't make sense for either one of them to take the fight.

Dada's family is reaching. The comment wasn't racist.

You can't be serious. But you not familiar with American stereotypes so I understand your position

It was clearly a fat stereotype, not a race one. Rogan just named some common junk/fast food.

Sometimes these guys go too hard

They really do...And it doesn't make sense because 90% of the time they don't fight as hard as they train, and it pisses me off...

In a fight, these dudes are not kicking and punches as hard as they do in the gym

his run ins with the law would prevent him from appearing in movies? Funny thing is his misdemeanors and escapades barely made news outside of the mma sphere to play a baddie in a Jason Statham flick isn't so far out there.
his lack of English was the same excuse I heard for why he wasn't more popular before chael, my thing is its the fight game, a dude that can't communicate in the common spoken language but is a bad ass fighter sells itself and just adds to the mystique. Kareem Abdul jabar's character in game of death didn't need to say shyt didn't make him any less scary. People just harp about the language barrier but it could have been worked around if the right ppl wanted to do something the truth is they didnt

Dude, Silva can't speak English, so we don't get to see his full personality and charisma...

But Jones is DEFINITELY a racist thing...When Jones had that clean image, they never addressed him as "All American"...Phil Davis was never addressed as "All American"...But every single White Fighter with a wrestling background and a clean image gets called "All American"...

Definitely low key racist promotion...

He isn't going back to FW. Dude looked liked hell cutting to that last time.

If that's the case he should vacate the title. Besides that, Dan Henderson already beat him to holding two belts in different weightclasses simultaneously.

Yes, certain words are used as stereotypes but you have to look at the context...If Roy Nelson had gassed out and ended up in hospital with cardiac issues, I am pretty confident Rogan would have made similar comments about Nelson..."Stop eating that fattening junk food and train properly"...

 

[Screwface Exchange]

Bones was well on his way before the run-ins. I don't think that's a legit reason in this case.

But he had da run ins. And that's jus da run jus we know about. Off record behind closed doors I'm sure many of da fighters and guys around ufc ain't surprised they know da real man that the cameras don't see.

These dudes talked about how hungry they were to fight Conor, and when the opportunity presents itself, they are not ready...

Conor already told EVERY UFC fighter to stay ready in case any challenger is unable to step up to the challenge...

On a different point,

You have to stay ready...Most of these UFC injuries are not "freak accidents"...They are a result of fighters not training properly...Why was RDA kicking the pads/the dude he was sparring with so hard, when he knows during the fight he is barely going to kick....?

Learn the proper technique during training, do some cardio and save the "going hard" for the octagon...

I hate it when these fighters get injured for "training hard" but when you watch the fights they are very hesitant and timid, and they (most fighters) don't fight at even 50% of their training intensity...

The first round of most fights is just dudes circling each other and throwing tentative shots...But when you see them sparring in the gym, they go all out...

They are training harder than they fight...It is backwards...

 

[FaTaL]

Stop defending jones

He's been his worst enemy

 

[nineteeneightysix]

Diaz will get KTFO...

Dude has NADA for McGregor..He is too weak, and flat footed...Body kicks and leg kicks will be there all night for McGregor, and when McGregor connects with one of his pinpoint accurate strikes, it will be night night for Diaz...

I don't see Diaz winning at all...Worst case scenario, McGregor wins a boring UD...

 

[Screwface Exchange]

How ironic the perfect guy to fight Connor rite now has recently left the company. Ben Henderson wldve fit the bill perfectly. He cn fight at either 155 or 170 or even a catch weight in between for Connor. He's a name big enough for the ppv Co main, and he's legit enuff to face Connor and not be a sham fight.

 

[Roman Brady]

What? fighting at 170 is the best case scenario. We get to see a healthy Conor & Nate go at it.

They ain't natural WWs and if it ain't about making steps to get lawler's title it's like so what?

 

[The G.O.D II]

It was clearly a fat stereotype, not a race one. Rogan just named some common junk/fast food.

Fried chicken and soda are are known stereotypes of blacks. And Rogan knows about stereotypes considering he also called black people apes before. Like I said, you are Canadian so you wouldn't understand.

Tate's looking like, "Why am I here?"
