    No matter what people think about him personally, there's genuinely nobody who deserves this more than Bisping. Delighted for him.

    Damned if you do, damned if you don't. It would take a huge amount of money for me to even consider being an mma referee.

    What a career Bisping had, i absolutely hated him at the beginning but he grew & grew on me & I ended up loving him, exactly the same trajectory I had with Tony Bellew. Honest as the come, hard as nails, gave their all in every fight.

    Joanne Calderwood is an official backup fighter for the flyweight title fight at UFC 238. She is already fighting Katlyn Chookagian but will be moved up if something happens with the main event.

    American ufc fans getting fckud over with this new ESPN thing it seems.

    They have to subscribe to the ESPN+ streaming app to be able to buy a PPV at the same price. PPVs only available to stream now, no more satellite or cable tv. Just going to send more people to watch illegally. Are they that brainless?

    They're probably getting a bigger percentage cut of the PPV cost and figure it's worth the potential drop off in buy rates. I remember hearing before the cable companies used to get around a 50% PPV cut which is mental.

    No. He's part of a consortium of people who own the thing. He's being paid by the rest of then for running the company on their behalf.

    I know he's part of Endeavour of whatever they're called now but I didn't realise he had any actual role in Zuffa, which is still the org running the UFC itself. So other than actually being part of the ownership crowd, what active role does he have?

    Got to say I really like Askren, he can come across a bit corny yes but he's able to **** talk pretty well without attacking peoples religion, children etc.

    That was brilliant that Curly headed **** tshirt he was wearing after Till called him it. Just seems to be having fun promoting himself and fights without taking it so serious or personal.

    Yeah, UFC probably already told him and the 12 month ban is in already from NYAC. USADA ban incoming, 2 years most likely

    Can i just say the womens fights in the UFC have been absolutely terrible quality the last few months. After the top 2 or 3 in the division they are woeful.

    Kevin Lee moving up to welterweight for a Fight Night headline fight against Dos Anjos in May. I'm glad he is doing that as he always looks very ill on the scales at lighweight.

    Mercola is a quack, he claims various herbal pills will fight cancer.
    But being untested and unapproved doesn't mean that expensive designer steroids will suddenly appear in them.
