I'll play devil's advocate and say I'm a little surprised by how much praise Izzy is getting for this. It kind of feels like the GSP MW title thing. Like, you never wanna go up when there's a dominant champion, but then the journeyman guy wins it and you're all about it. But then maybe not if the dominant guy comes back again? lol idk. Good for him, but feels weird.

We need to see if he wants to defend the belt against Jones or the top contender before we can decide if it's a GSP situation.

I mean, the timing of him wanting to move to 205 like 6 days after Jones is no longer champ certainly isn't coincidence, right?

I guess, to give him the benefit of the doubt, maybe he thought he needed to beat Cannonier to clear the division? And just doesn't have interest in beating up RW again?

Izzy said this is just a hug f u to jones.

At the same time though he also said he wants to fight jon in 2021, which is What he’s said all along..





Anyway apparently Dustin and Conor isn’t done yet. Sounds like Dustin wants more money

Conor doesn't give red panty nights anymore. His % is massive. Cowboy mentioned that somewhere, so Dustin is probably a little surprised that it's not what he was expecting.

Khabib is probably going to string Dana along now, just to F*ck with Conor lol No chance he wants to see Conor get a shot to win that title. If I were him, I’d do the same thing.

High school dropout figured out that Joe Biden, whose voting record is indistinguishable from a Republican, is a socialist.

Read on Twitter


AMERICA! Tito. Ortiz is now an elected official. He also sells Q gear through his merch company.

Thinking about where Trumpism goes now that Trump is 6 feet under, I could see Dana or Vince McMahon taking it and rebranding it into an even more evil regime.

Looks like Dustin may have negotiated himself out of the Conor fight. Ugh


Edit - Dustin has signed now. Wonder if the UFC caved at all or if the threat of replacing him with Gaethje made him sign quick.

LOL I have no idea if this is true but I read a headline that Tito's first act as an elected official was to demand a recount in the state of California, which is honestly hilarious on like 7 different levels. I didn't investigate because it makes for funnier head canon if it's exactly what I thought it to be.

He tweeted a petition for a recount.
It was full of typos, nonsense words and just an idiotic premise from the start.

I saw Masvidal tweeting some absolute nonsense as well. And Askren too. I don't look at Colby's social media but I'm sure he's said dumb sh*t as always.

Yeah they’re both dickheads. Had to unfollow them both. Ben tweeted one thing that was clearly fake asking what’s with this ?

Conor is still donating 500k to Dustin's charity of choice.
That's pretty classy of a guy who's exhibited some really low moments over the last few years.
The organization will be using the money to build a Gym/Area for disadvantaged youth in Dustin's hometown. Gotta love that.

Josh Barnett is somehow a fighting legend and the neediest, poser on the planet.

How is that possible?
