That is a crazy amount of cringe on one shirt.

Tito was like 12 and 13 not too long ago. And was like 1-7-1 in his last 9. But has had all these B orgs string together easy fights for him.

Meh, he's as unlikable as they come but he's 45 and has been fighting for like 23 years lol. The last two fights have been questionable but it really wasn't too bad in bellator. Bonnar/Chael/McGeary/Schlemenko.

Man it sure as hell didn't look like Tito from that angle, pardon me.

EDIT: I blame him on wearing the hate so I can't see the blond hair.

That fight was hilarious because even though Tito completely mauled him, he did zero damage to Del Rio. Little pitty pat strikes to the body, no elbows, and just worked for the submission. **** ragdolled him and choked him out. I actually wonder if Tito will ever do WWE? Dude's a natural heel and is an absolute monster.

LOL just listened to Carmouche on Ariel. UFC did her dirty, man.

* They released her coming off of a title fight, after sitting on it for four months.
* The stated reason is that they can't build the division because the new fighters don't want to fight her, and she beats them when they do.
* She was on an unpaid PR trip in DC doing work for the UFC when she got the call. She was actually in the car with UFC VP Reed Harris when it happened, and the UFC actually requested that she make the trip.
* Since her last fight, she requested the UFC to let her do five separate grappling matches that paid (cited Quintet as one example) but the UFC denied the requests stating that she was "on standby" and could not compete anywhere else.

That's the dream shirt for every fat dad that has never been in a confrontation that says stuff like "If someone ever hurt my family, I'd lose it and the demons will come out" or something :lol:

^^ You don't even understand my MINDSET bro. When someone brings personal life into family, I just black out.

That's super dirty but not out of character for the UFC

With Dana saying Conor gets a title shot with a win over Cerrone, Gaethje is officially screwed.

If they wanted to have Conor get a title shot next, JG was the only legitimate option for an opponent.

Khabib only has a few fights left. I don't want to see him waste one on Conor again. We've seen that movie. Tony/Gaethje both offer intriguing matchups.

Here's something I was pondering yesterday that will never happen that I wanted to get your guys' thoughts on...

Technically, GSP is still the lineal MW champion, right? What if he came back to fight at MW instead of WW/LW. How would him vs. Adesanya play out? It's just not his style to fight either Romero or Costa, but I actually think he would have a shot stylistically vs Israel.

The length with Izzy would be a major question mark. I also question GSP's conditioning at MW as well. I definitely agree that Izzy hasn't come close to fighting a MMA grappler on the level of GSP, but no way do I see GSP going back up in weight to fight a guy the size of Izzy. I think there are only 2 possible fights for GSP left, Khabib or Conor.

Israel is interesting probably lean towards him as his length as you mentioned would be too much - If GSP ever got the take down don't think Israel is getting up though.

GSP would crush both Khabib on Conor quite easily IMO.

I think the UFC knows this which is why we'll probably never see these fights.

Got to protect your biggest stars and not have a part timer destroy them.
