Strange time for the UFC. All hype trains have been derailed. Ronda was exposed as a one dimensional fighter and as one of the worst losers in the history of sports. Aura of invincibility gone. I want to call her the Royce Gracie of early women's mma but don't feel that is fair to Royce.
McGregor humbled by the Stockton Slap. Aura of invincibility gone, his stroke with the company gone and most importantly, his bottom line takes a massive hit. Won more money than I'm willing to disclose betting against him so I can't still be mad about the Aldo fight.
Northcutt and VanZant sidetracked before they even really got going. Poor Dana. I bet Georges won't even answer his calls because he isn't sure if he can lay on 2016 Lawler for 25 minutes without getting dropped and because he knows he isn't going to out wrestle Rockhold or Weidman. The super fight that could have been between him and Anderson Silva is now looking like a possible Bellator main event in a few years.
Speaking of Silva, all the goats and former p4p bests are getting old. Father Time really is undefeated. Silva is losing (bullshit) decisions to Bisping and fighting Urijah Hall at 198. Yeah, Urijah Hall. Barao was dismantled twice. Not sure what to think of Aldo yet. Cardio Cain is now no cardio but lots of excuses and injuries Cain. Fedor is back to his can crushing ways. Jones is the only one left and hopefully that ends at 197.
Excited to see what they have planned for 200 and probably more excited than I should be to see Mir and Hunt tomorrow. Seems like an easy win for Mir if he can get it to the ground but Hunt could look at Mir's chin the wrong way and dudes legs will give out. I half expect Mir to attempt to grapple and be knocked out by a short uppercut.
