    Gentlemen, Conor McGregor is not retiring from MMA. It's a ploy to negotiate a better deal. Like it was the last time he retired.

    Fuck off and die.

    It isn't confirmed yet or not whether he's being investigated for sexual assult. This is just a major news outlet reporting on the rumours, right around the time Conor is already in the news in order to garner more clicks. Until he's formally charged these are nothing but Irish whatsapp group rumours.

    Also calling someone of irish decent a "carny fuck" is definitely not gonna fly.

    Garry Tonon had another One FC fight last night, really impressed with his jiujitsu. Looking at him, Ryan Hall and some others really makes me think jiujitsu will be a bigger deal in MMA down the line while it had taken a back seat some the last few years.

    There was a fucking sweet sub in the UFC last night as well. Jack Hermansson pulled off a slick triangle on David Branch.

    Fuck off and die.

    Yeah, that sweep into triangle combo was fucking taaaasty. Especially given how it looked like he could barely stand earlier in the round.

    To be fair, David Branch sucks.

    He's got a bunch of grappling credentials though. He's a Renzo Gracie black belt with an MMA win over Vinny Magalhaes. Legit win!

    Fuck off and die.

    lol that doesn't seem safe... top guy in a ground fighting position all of the sudden gets open for bunch of shots to the back of the head? like is the strategy to pull guard and hold your opponent there on top of you while your teammates come hit him in the back of the head?

    AAAAA!!! PLAAAYGUUU!!!!

    Someone is literally going to get permanently hurt or something and it will blow up in their faces. If I were another MMA organization I would be absolutely livid about that shit.

    So I hate the UFC as a company, but I got free tickets to UFC Ottawa.

    I figure I'm not giving them my money so it's fine and I get to see Cowboy fight.

    Also it's in a box so I don't have to mingle with the plebs

    I'm sorry you have to see Cowboy squish under Iaquinta's pressure.

    You were saying? :P

    Fun night. A couple stinker fights, but Swanson/Burgos and Cowboy/Iaquinta more than made up for it.

    Still not the ideal way to watch UFC, but hey, I ain't gonna turn down free tickets.

    He just uses the whole toolbox and uses it all so well.

    Yup :(

    She was looking fantastic in that first round. Hell of a slam from Andrade though, can't take that away from her. I'm definitely more concerned with Rose's brief post fight interview, sounds like she was having a hard time with all the pressure of being at the top.

    I googled Sage because I didn't know he was cut and wanted to see his record. Weird that let him go after a 3 fight win streak.

    But the top google suggested links were super funny.

    "Sage Northcutt: from UFC reject to ONE Championship's newest prodigy" (2 days ago)

    "Watch Sage Northcutt get KTFO in 29 seconds in ONE Championship debut" (16 min ago)

    I think Sage was making a good chunk of $ for his fights and his dad was his manager, so I assumed they asked for an astronomical amount and UFC balked, but ONE didn't.

    ONE was in a position where they get publicity for signing him, if Sage does well they made a great choice in an effort to diversify their roster with another known American face, and if Sage does poorly they say "look at these UFC scrubs compared to our guys, we're the premier MMA promotion!".

    Damn, it was a nasty punch, but it seriously had to have a perfect storm of factors and the impact zone just right to cause that much damage.

    Imagine if Sage got hit by Deontay Wilder's right from last night:

    His head would probably be in low Earth orbit.
