Well let me spell it out for you. UFC is about finishing fights. Ever heard Dana White talk? His most common phrase is don't leave it up to the judges. So, all that great boxing skill, with little KO power, is not the greatest weapon in a sport where you are trying to finish the fight. #1 the judges suck and #2 you run the risk of the other guy getting a finish or a takedown that drastically changes the fight.

Max is great, but in ufc it's better to be a finisher than a Floyd Mayweather style boxer.

Been listening to some Conor interviews and have been impressed. Seems like his head is back in the game. Will be interesting to see this fight!

Dana has been killing it. While other leagues are tripping over each other to be woke, Dana is going full steam ahead with a great product.

Really hoping they can get ultimate fighter booked up with Covington masvidal. That will breathe some life into the show.

Only one that seems to be scared is masvidal. Colby has publicly called for the fight and Dana has said that is the fight to make. There have been rumors that they would coach TUF then fight, but nothing booked yet.

Half Thor showed zero boxing skills. I've seen black tar molasses throw faster punches.

Do you have to have ESPN + to be able to order the McGregor fight?

Ok... you go ahead and drop $69 on watching every match that could all take less then 5 mins.... but I will clarify that I’m not much of a fan. Would you spend $69 to watch the SB????

Warlley Alves vs. Mounir Lazzez


Looked awesome in his debut vs Alhassan. Looked like a diverse striker, uses elbows and knees very well. Lazzez's friend ran into Dana at a restaurant and showed him his highlight reel on his phone and convinced Dana to sign him.

I believe Khabib's cousin, Umar Nurmagomedov has been added to the card. Fighting Sergey Morozov. LINK
