Absolutely insane stat. Almost unbelievable.

The last time a ufc fighter won via an armlock or armbar was over 7 months ago. This being despite all the numerous cards and ppvs we've had in the past 7 months.

Submissions seem to be getting rarer and rarer and becoming more of a novelty, and of the submissions that we do see, they are all simple white belt chokes.

Mainly RNC and guillotine, followed by things like triangle, arm triangle, darce, anaconda, etc.

Grasso is so good for the sport right now.

I just love watching her fights and her demeanour out of the cage.

She’s not a monster like Amanda was, but she gives me the same appreciation for skills.

I just like it when humble fighters win. Like GSP or Mighty Mouse.

Herb Dean Waves Off Fight And Then Pretends Like He Doesn’t Once He Realizes the Round Was Over

This fight was in Denver, which is where Donald is from. Masvidal was still pretty unknown at the time. Coincidence?

Herb Dean on the ending to Moraes/Nkuta: “I watched the replay, definitely sure that he went unconscious, like, a fraction of a second before the bell, then I went and stopped the fight. He held for a fraction of a second, let it go... I don’t think it was egregious enough for me to disqualify him.”

Is it fair to say that Colby Covington is an example as to what happens when a fighter spends his prime on the sidelines?

Colby was a good fighter but also a good example as to why a fighter should never waste his prime on the shelf bargaining with said matchmakers. He had a habit of taking long layoffs after the Dos Anjos fight, a year to fight Lawler, 8 months to fight Woodley, a year to rematch Usman, nearly 2 years to challenge Leon Edwards.

Dana White said it best in the post interview of UFC 296, "this sport doesnt wait for anyone. Waiting is never a good idea".

But I mean, Paulo Costa looked good in his last fight. 35 and still dangerous despite repeated layoffs

What do you guys think?

Anyone remember this Khabib vs Ferguson hype video?

How many of you were around during the buildup to this fight? I watched this edit every day leading up to the date of the fight. It got me fucking hyped every time. Absolute tragedy that it didn't happen when it was supposed to. RIP to this matchup
