I hate it when DJ is the main event. Soooo annoying. You know its gonna go all 5rds. Hes been doing better lately and actually finishing fights so that is good and I appreciate it. Atleast its 5rds with a finish instead of his usual 5rd cage humping.
The card lastnight was pretty weak looking but i was happy with the fights. Next ppv looks amazing tho:
Jones/Johnson
Weidman/Belfort
Khabib/Cerrone
Arlovski/Browne
And the undercard looks good too. Im excited for that one

[Flash]

next one is a great one for sure
im most looking forward to Lawlers first title defence but ill be in Tokyo so i will have to stay away from any mma news untill i get home , not sure if i could order the ppv through my fight pass account and watch in the hotel …. i hope so ( done the same for a big Fox card the morning of my wedding in Thailand )

[Flash]

rumour has it Jon Jones is out of the Rumble fight , legal trouble being the issue

nothing is confirmed as far as i know but …..

[pillowPANTS]

C'mon. That fucker better not puss out!!
I wanna see Rumble put a beating on him.
What all did you "hear" Flash?

[Flash]

Frontrowbrian on twitter , its all rumours at the moment but if there true its pretty serious ….. APPARENTLY

[Flash]

Hope none of its true

[pillowPANTS]

What a stupid fuck. Wow

[Flash]

i miss the Pride days , watched the 2005 middleweight GP a few days ago ( for about the 10th time )and i cant  help but wonder what would have happened if Wanderlei beat Arona …... WANDERLEI VS SHOGUN would have been unreal

[spitfiredealer]

Man pride was so good. So many top fighters at the top of their games. Plus the whole production of the events was amazing. The female announcer always made me smile. Plus Bas's commentary was always amazing.

Face off between Aldo and Macgregor today was INSANE

[Giles]

I just stumbled across Power Slap - What the actual fuck?

[goosehd]

@Giles One of the most "stupid" things I have seen on the internet.

Bones Jones, hell of a showing against a legend 10 years outside his prime last night. Frustrating how he’s currently dodging Aspinall but on brand.

[TENDREL]

@flannel-slut Agreed. Tom is the man. Hope they make it happen, or that the division just moves on without Jon....

[Nick]

Jones, love him or hate him, is pretty undeniable. Unreal fight IQ, even if his personality traits have always been questionable (along with the doping controversy). Has to fight Tom next, there's no way he can't dodge that and Dana White knows this too. Alex P isn't an option for him.

Massive UFC broadcasting announcement this morning. Moving to Paramount+ and ditching the PPV model. Everything will be broadcast on Paramount with a small monthly subscription and also many fights live on CBS. I am a massive UFC fan, but I really dislike the expensive PPV's.

I also hope they address the late start PPV start times (for the U.S. based viewer). Most events start at 9PM and end around midnight. That means the marquee fights are at 11PM and close to midnight (for the east coast that's 1AM). I'm hoping with this new broadcast deal they move them up a couple hours.

@jordanscollected that’s really cool news. I always wished they had a package like the nfl where you could get all the ppvs for a yearly or monthly price. Also when I lived in Vegas the fight times were awesome but now that I’m on the east coast and older I can’t make it to the main event without falling asleep haha

[Nick]

Late starts? You should try being in the UK staying up till 6am in the morning haha

Even when we got a UK UFC event, uncle Dana still pencils it in for a 3am main card start.

Anyways, curious to know how this impacts us over here. Does the coverage shift from TNT to Paramount in 2026?
