MMA and the UFC will only get bigger from here too. International bread and circuses. At some point right there with the NBA, NFL, MLB.

One of the things that makes (many) MMA fighters unique vs NBA, NFL, MLB types is their respect for their opponents. After all, if you don't have an opponent, you are not making a living and proving your worth.
Justin and Max are a shining example of this:

Yeah, Big Al's was fairly empty tonight so I was curious what was going on, then I examined the card more closely and saw it was stacked heavily in favor of Brazilian fighters. If I wasn't so lazy I'd calculate the percentage of wins by Brazilian fighters by both the prelims and main card. Maybe tomorrow...
Highlights:
- Anthony Smith's guillotine during the takedown.
- Pereira's reverse flip flying knee (or whatever the hell that was). I was LOLing.

I used to host UFC fights at my house from way way back.
Then they started in with the drama. Then they started going from 1 fight a month to 1 fight every 3 weeks. Then drama seemed to be more of what was shown/talked about then the fights.
Loose a few fights in a row and your done.
Only good thing UFC has going for them is Rogan. I don't think you could get a better commentator anywhere.
One fights have been going for a very long time and while they still have paid events, they also have free cards about once a month on Prime. It's not heavily advertised so you have to search for it but they have all of the old fights to view and just showed free fight 22 Friday night.
The fighters are more respectful. There is a $50k bonus on the line for finishing a fight in a grand way, there are penalties for not constantly engaging and they do grappling, muy thai, kickboxing and mma. So the fights are imo much better than most ufc fights. I haven't watched a ufc fight in a couple of years so maybe it's changed again but for a free card I thinks it's hard to be the One Prime fights.

Yeah, he's gonna get starched.
He's an absolute legend in the sport, one of the GOATs, but his time has come and gone, at least in the octagon.

There's definitely that element there, but once that cage door is shut that all goes away.
Chuck is one of the GOATs and I used to watch the reign of The Iceman as well, but today's fighters are another level.

They really gave him a break on that dumb stunt. That chin strike to a downed opponent set up his win. He should have been DQ'd. The refs probably knew it they DQ'd Pereira, the Brazilians would burn down the place.

Showboaters make for entertaining fighters, no doubt, but I hate betting on one. Like Buckley next Saturday. A strutting rooster that will get beat by a 6'5" non-Showboater IMHO.

Yes, I was thinking the exact same thing. During the confused huddle following that someone probably made the executive decision to let it ride in front of the Brazilian home crowd, even though technically it was a foul and could have easily been a DQ.
