if Kevin Holland doesn't come in with a decent gameplan, call it a day!!!
was tonight a testament to how good Topuria is or is more about Volk and father time catching up? and should he have taken more time after the islam KO?
that guy that asked that question about CO promoting must've started his job yesterday, doesn't everybody know by now that Dana DOESN'T CO PROMOTE!!
that was a 9 min show with 4 min of commercial.. wtf.
everyone knows luke thomas is a cuck woke military-brainwashed Jesuit trained cuck. BC is good at following orders.
funny listening to fat guys talking about how bare knuckle is trash. I stopped watching mma 2 years ago and I am exclusively bare knuckle and Gamebred. you fools talk about dudes who fight with pillows on their hands. No gloves proves who is a real fighter. fat fools
six minutes of rib removal!! lol
30 minutes on Max, hmm.....
work on your striking game for the table, wrap your hands more for future shows, lol
These random mid-podcast ads are nonsense.
Hey Luke. FYI, you do not sit in UFC negotiations. You never have. This is a business. Colby sells more than any fighter who consistently fights at 170. Also, learn math. Colby, GSP, and Kamaru have the best records in the division. You hate Colby because he is not covered in tattoos to feign confidence. Tattoos are so, so gay. And you judge gay art of others.....so pathetic. Shave your beard so you can show everyone how genetically inferior you are. 99% of MMA fans want to see Colby fight for a title.
Insecure tattooed males hate Colby. Real men know that Luke Thomas is a b****. Trained from birth to be an abused "yes male"
guys, are you running around on the table?????? Good lord!!!!
please, never have a show with just Brian... lol
agreed, in this whole thing paddy just looks bad, imo. even not being huge fan of ariel, he's fine but he's backed everything on his end and paddy has not!!
mateusz gramra???
just skip to about 6 mins to get past Brian's usual bragging about their own show.
BC needs to do fewer lines before each show, good lord!! lol
i think BC did a bunch of drugs before this one lol
because of Sean being a pain in UFC's ass, they said beat Jan and we will restructure your contract, in turn Sean maybe losing the fight and Dana saying your contract remains, just a thought....
