Well, the UFC are still the established promotion with the best fighters in the world. If you want to fight for sport rather than money, it's hard to legitimately claim you're the best fighter in the world unless you hold a UFC strap. Just over a decade ago, fighters in Pride FC could...

Seems a bit of an arbitrary reason to stop a potential title fight and isn't consistent across states. TJ Dillashaw was a replacement when he beat Barao for the bantamweight title whilst ranked lower than Iaquinta currently is and then in his very next fight fought a replacement Joe Soto for the...

Out of all of the options - Pettis, Felder or Iaquinta, I think Iaquinta deserves the fight. The UFC hates him because he's spoken out numerous times against their low pay, he's not in it for the "right" reasons and would probably retire if he was given a title fight. However, he's on a 4 fight...

McGregor would turn a 300,000 buys PPV into a 2/3 million PPV buys now easily after the Mayweather fight. He was a big reason the company was sold for as much as it was. They need to make money off the casual fans of the sport, only the hardcore genuinely care about the undercard. The UFC is a...

The only reason to fight for Bellator is the money, a bunch of UFC fighters have moved across because they get paid more per fight and they also get to advertise their own sponsors on their attire instead of Reebok and Monster energy drink. Conor doesn't need a promotion anyway, he will bring...

Looks like Holloway is way off making weight and the main event isn't happening either...what a disastrous week for the UFC.

I reckon it was a publicity stunt gone wrong. Yes, they have a legitimate feud with Khabib's team because of previous altercations and the Lobov stuff earlier in the week, but I doubt he intended to actually injure the people in the bus. If they had this skirmish and no one was injured, it would...

Haha, I know it was, but you'd expect more out of possibly the best English club side we've ever seen. Mourinho did it with long balls and physicality too at least, City just passed the ball to Sane without any overlap and expected him to beat AA. It has been a fucking bizarre night from...

That was onside...

Was Guardiola's only tactic for this game to target Alexander Arnold? So one dimensional. :conf:

In other news, De Rossi scored a spectacular own goal against Barcelona.

This is brilliant. I don't understand any of Guardiola's contentious selections. Sterling is a fantastic outlet, Gundogan isn't offering anything in defence or attack. Laporte looks lost at wing back (as would any CB on the wing vs Salah) and has given the ball away more than a handful of times...

http://sport.bt.com/video/golazzo-the-football-italia-story-91364261396113 For any old Football Italia on C4 lovers, this was nostalgic, fun and little sad all in one. It was a big part of my life as a kid, never been a football show like it. Appears to be free to view (I assume that's limited...

Fucking preach, it really is one of the most disgusting industries we have. I was reading a neurology book recently and learned that gambling addiction is genuinely a physiological condition and those that are susceptible to the industry's tricks are pretty much powerless to help themselves. For...

BBC reported he was convicted of a hate crime and that's what he was initially arrested for. I agree with everything else you said though, very well put. Of all of the incidents that might be considered hateful and interpreted as close to hate crime, it seems very capricious to make an example...

You've got to be kidding me. :ffs: I thought hate crimes had to be directed at someone specifically? He didn't train his dog to maul Jewish people or even to gesture at Jewish people. The judge declared it wasn't meant to be a joke, yet that's exactly what he explains at the start of the video...

Bro, everyone knows when you tack on mass, you sacrifice flexibility.

Yeah, but Tyrod has significantly outperformed him since becoming a starter overall. Bortles also had the best defence in the league and much better options at wideout (despite losing Robinson) than Tyrod last season. Whatever can be said about the lack of Taylor's playmaking ability as a...

Whilst his statistics were fine, I think we have a vast disagreement on how he performed last year. I think they schemed the offence to completely stop Bortles from throwing games away. The first half of the season they did this by leaning everything on Fournette and the defence. When teams...

Yeah, he clearly didn't understand the word heritage in the sense you or I would use it Cornish. He wasn't talking about the history of the club, he was merely pointing to what he has inherited from the most recent managers in terms of personnel. It was weird to see Mourinho who generally has...
