I watch his stream. The only time he gets decent numbers is when rampage Jackson interacts with him or hosts him
Feels bad man
Looks a little different these days.

That's gonna be a corker of a fight if Frankie doesn't LNP.

And now even better
Quite the step up for Yair...

Yair "Legend Killer" Rodriguez. Seriously though why such a big jump up to Frankie who is ranked #2. Rodriguez should smash on the likes of Anthony Pettis.

Yair gonna get exposed so soon after BJ put him over. Pettis would be a really fun fight.

McKenzie Dern missed weight again, that's 2 in a row. She needs another highlight submission and move to 145 at Bellator or UFC.
And now even better
This will be a fun fight but Edgar is going to win.
If Cain can get his injured ass out for Werdum this is a GOAT card.

Yair's kicks are basically a green light for Edgar's wrestling shots. Yair might be explosive enough to scramble back to his feet though.

Agreed... fight's gonna be hella fun.
Chael Sonnen going off on Floyd Mayweather for 15 minutes
He goes on for 20+ more minutes on the podcast. "The Money Team isn't real. WHAT PAPER, FLOYD?"

Crooked ass Brazilian fighters strike again . Use her faaa ... fine thick ass to get her opponent to the ground and put in some gnarly hold.
She gets away with the weight cut because she's popular and these shoddy organizations can't do anything about it. Maybe UFC takes her but they'll pay her peanuts until she gets the weight cut in check.
BJ is probably bitter as fuck at this matchup.And now even better
He still wants to fight Edgar again.

I didn't realize Dern is fighting in the 115 weight class. 135 is way too far off for her to fight in. She's way too short for 135 and her booty is too big for 115.
WME should just create a 125 division for her and give her a belt like with Rousey.
125 would be extremely popular as you'd have chicks with curves that don't have giant arms and shoulders.

Yeah that interview with her talking like Claudia Gadhela is really bizarre yet fascinating. She had only been living in Brazil for a year at that point, right?
Haha, I just looked into this accent thing.

I don't really think she's faking. When you're immerse yourself in a culture, region etc. and are surrounded by an accent, you tend to pick up on it after a while. Some peoples' minds are more malleable than others.

When I worked at my uncle's auto shop as a teenager over the summers back in the day, the co-owner was this Korean dude who spoke with a super thick accent, and myself, my uncle and most of the other employees would find ourselves subconsciously speaking to him with the same accent. I guess for some reason it just seemed like it would make it easier to communicate.

Yup. Gonna say that accent, inflection, even speech patterns can end up being subconciously mirrored. Some do it more or faster than others but it's a pretty common thing.
It even happens regionally within the same country (for countries large enough to have a bunch of regional accents). It's why some people will even have a heavy *insert language accent here* bend to the way they speak even when they don't speak *inserted language*.

Over/under 50% chance Khabib vs Ferguson happens this year.
I'll say 60% chance of happening.

If they don't fight by UFC 212, it's never happening.

The BJJ community has known 2 things about Dern; her hatred for Gabi Garcia, and her trolling of the MMA community with her fake accent.

212 is during Ramadan. If they don't fight by UFC 211, it's never happening.
i dont really care about khabib vs tony specifically, i just want to see khabib vs the strongest opponent as possible and tony is really really up there. too bad.
it's just so damn intriguing watching khabib!
not that terrible of a card this weekend! i know someone in every fight on the main card! (except that formiga fight) that's pretty good

Another great fight added to UFC 211 James Vick vs Marco "Polo" Reyes, man... Polo always brings it.

Formiga vs. Borg will be a scrap. Borg is an animal on the ground, as is Formiga.

Khabib might retire lol
This fuckin' guy
Apparently he wasn't getting any blood to his liver on weigh-in day, that is simply fucked. There's nothing professional about a regime that ends in you having to be hospitalised. Perhaps he should aim to have a lower walk around weight and give himself like 20-30% less weight to cut in that final week because how can this guy be one of the major players in the division when you never know if he's even going to make it to the octagon.
Don't think it's fake either. I had a childhood friend who would go to Britain for months at a time and would come back to NY with an accent. It just happens.
I spent my childhood in Britain surrounded by Irish accents and have lived in Ireland for months at a time at various points in my life and have never picked up the accent at all. However, I know a girl that lived in Britain all her life, moved to Dubai and a year later has a thick 'Middle-Eastern' accent and, from my perception, it doesn't sound faked at all.

With all the fuss, I expected the change in accent to be thicker... I was waiting for her to sound more like Cris Cyborg or Amanada Nunes. This is clearly just a case of hanging with Brazilians.
Her instagram is almost entirely in Portugese and she often seems like she doesn't actually speak English as a first language now. I think there is some level of pandering there to the image.

Nah, that was prior to the 209 disaster. Now he might just retire .
Right before he has a chance to make a name for himself and make serious money? What a fucking waste.
