Interesting that Khabib used similar wording earlier today, calling the ufc a circus as well. Also referenced quitting but said he wasn't going to.

Fighters have started to have their class consciousness raised.

Saw my first Reebok Fight Kit shirt the other day...w/ matching shorts. "Anthony Pettis". Weird.
Bernman, you South Asian and chubby?

Anybody interested in Rizin?

They did massive numbers in Japan last weekend and seem to have captivated that market again.

Cyborg seems like the perfect Rizin fighter btw.

I saw my first and only reebok kit at the Conor/Aldo fight. Dude was with the best looking girl in the bar so maybe he's onto something?

The man I saw in the Pettis kit could not have been a bigger nerd. If he is getting laid at all, these kits are working miracles; sign me up for a Tim Boetsch.

Speaking of Tim Boetsch, Josh Samman apparently overdosed on heroin this weekend. He's in critical condition and the person he was shooting up with is now dead.

Just signed up for a trial with Fight Pass. The Don Frye/Dan Severn stuff is so freaking good.

Dunno dude, but it's free for 7 days. Just check out the Frye/Severn stuff.

Televised children's MMA bouts prompt concern in Russia

The Moscow-backed leader of the Russian region of Chechnya, Ramzan Kadyrov, faced criticism Wednesday after his sons took part in televised mixed martial arts fights involving children as young as 8.

One of Kadyrov's sons, 10-year-old Akhmad, beat another boy by a technical knockout in the cage during a so-called exhibition bout on a nationally televised fight card Tuesday, while his younger brothers Eli and Adam also won their fights as a crowd of adults in the hall cheered them on.

The children walked into the ring with background music, were announced in the same way as pro fighters and were rewarded with belts when they won, with their father looking on. The TV broadcast from the Chechen capital Grozny was chiefly focused on adult bouts, but featured professional commentary and graphics introducing the child fighters.

Kadyrov was inaugurated Wednesday to a new term as Chechnya's leader on his 40th birthday.

Leading Russian MMA pro Fedor Emelianenko called the fights "unacceptable" and dangerous in a statement on his Instagram page, and said the children risked permanent injury and psychological harm.

You're obviously joking but Perry probably smashes both.

Perry VS CM Punk for the ultimate freakshow fight.

Perry is the only one who has ever had a good win as far as I can tell.

Can't believe that dude just turned 25 btw, crazy.
