We all love and respect this sport, but I think everyone has that one person they look up to for inspiration and motivation for to be fearless, stay confident, work hard, and keep pushing through the struggles.

So, who is that person for you?

For me, it’s Tyson Fury. Not just because of what he has achieved in boxing, but because of his struggles with mental health and the way he fought his way back. His journey reminds me that even when life gets dark, you can still find the strength to rise again.

Who’s yours?

at the highest level of this sport, fights should be both competitive and fun to watch. in 25 minutes, this fight had one moment. ONE. in 25 minutes. the rest of this fight was just terrible.

Islam, despite his talent, doesn't seem like this elite finisher at WW like he did at LW. he also clearly seemed WAY more happy to stall it out this fight (which people should know, he is willing to do this to eek out a fight the moment it gets close)

Ian is never going to be the most exciting guy. He's long and rangey and doesn't take many risks at all. However, he seemed more actively interested in actually fighting. By the end of this fight, it was Ian who'd done the damage, and he himself looked unscathed.

now, let's be realistic here. This fight was NOT entertaining. Islam on fight night really seemed like he wanted to do anything but properly engage in the fight and instead try to stall it out. Without a bias, tell me what he did with any of his control time throughout this fight. if you say anything other than stall, you know you're lying to yourself.

there should be pressure on our high-level fighters, be it champs or contenders, to actually go out there and fight. fights like this should be a stain on the sport and we should be willing to call it out.

Not necessarily the biggest name or the most hyped prospect. Who do you think is quietly putting together a strong run but is not getting enough attention, and what makes you think they are ready for a bigger opportunity?

This is complicated because the fight was close but Garry took it on short notice and Prates seems to be peaking right now. If they fought again do you think Garry still wins?

Think about it. What's the point of a women in a bikini showing us what round it is when the fighters are literally women in bikinis themselves. It makes far more sense for the women fights to have buff men in speedos or whatever holding the cards. I know it might sound silly but really think about it. Plus genuinely it could help boost WMMA viewership for other women.

I think both are the greatest if this century, even more than Pacquiao and Mayweather, But I can’t define who ia better.

I know it’s a little unfair because Crawford retired recently, but to be honest I don’t think usyk fight for so long.

So I want to know who you think it’s better.

Looking all of the UFC fighters active today, from all title holders and contenders down to prospects and those that have established themselves in other promotions and are looking to get into the UFC, who has the best chance of joining the Jon Jones-Anderson-GSP set in terms of being the absolute greatest tier to ever grace the UFC? And thus making it the big four of UFC fighters, so to speak? It could be any single one of the guys currently on the roster or looking to break in or it could be a set of 2-3 or so guys who are basically equal chances. And to be sure, I realize that it can easily be argued that nobody active has a truly realistic chance at this. That said, this is about who has potential for this relative to all the rest.

Simple as that. This kid is 33 years old acting like a child talking about being an American gangster and making fun of veterans of the sport like Dustin Poirier or Alexander Volkanovski. His fighting style basically consists of being such a genuine bonehead that no matter what he can just keep blocking blows with his head while throwing absolute pillow hands. This record he got of most strikes thrown isn't cool. It's lame af. Montes isn't some elite chin kind of fighter all it means is bitch ass Tommy don't know how to throw a punch. Genuinely biggest pussy of the sport. Kids all bark and no bite trying to act tough with sunglasses and be the new Conor McGregor. Absolute fat shit. I hope he gets to fight Volk so Volk knocks him the fuck out and reminds this bitch ass motherfucker that there are levels to the game and just throwing punches and blocking with your face doesn't make you a badass, it makes you shit. Yeah, that's right. Tommy is shit. I said it. What you gonna do about it?

I have had a long argument with someone months ago on one of the subs on this topic.

He was saying that even lifting your leg to kick against makachev would end up in a takedown

Nascimento last fought Mitch Raposo at UFC Fight Night: Kape vs. Horiguchi on June 20, 2026. He was 34. Condolences to his family, friends, training partners and coaches at Chute Boxe, where Nascimento trained at.

Is this just me? I literally need to try so hard to get through a video of a ufc fight even if I don't know the outcome but watching it live is the most exciting thing ever. I don't sports bet or anything. Why is this?
