Francis Ngannou Vs Junior dos Santos: Anyone else see this fight? I’m not an avid UFC guy but some of my peeps are and we got a rare stag hangout on fight night. That guy truly is Tyson-esque. It’s exciting to watch a guy like that come around again.

Did anyone hear about the Jorge Masvidal 5 second KO of Ben Askren? I heard about it on the radio this morning and had to look it up. Holy f**k! This sport is violent! I don't know how I feel about it.
Then the #Disrespect:
So Masdival was catching smoke about celebrating, but his response is perfect and I kinda have to agree with him. Askren talking about his ethnicity, his religion, his wife, his kids....that is like ALL the No-No's.
“Man, there’s not too many people that I’ve disliked,” Masvidal said. “I have over 50 pro fights and he’s one of them. He talked about my manhood, he talked about my culture, my ethnicity – where do we draw – why do certain people get to do stuff online? So you can do anything – everything is cool to say before a fight, you’re allowed to do or say whatever you want – like other fighters are now doing talking about people’s religion, wife, even kids – that’s cool?
“But after a fight I’m not allowed to showboat and rub it in your face so you and guys like you can see that ‘Maybe I don’t talk so much sh*t because when I cross one of these real mother f*ckers they’re gonna make me pay for it man, they’re gonna embarrass the sh*t out of me.’ And it’s not over for Ben either, he still has to deal with me – if I see him at Whole Foods, Ima still slap that dude up, because I don’t like him.”
I hope Masvidal gets the the title shot against Usman, so he can get smushed.
(That was an amazing knockout tho)
Honestly, the last two cards (238 and 239) have been really fun to watch. Jim and I are thinking of doing a monthly MMA discussion / round up around the main UFC events. We'd start off woefully under-informed on the state of affairs, but I feel like I'm already catching on quick, and it might be fun.
Do it!!!!!
AND THENNNNNNNNNN....my buddy Platch lays this on me:
What is going on?!?!
