    I know that. I'm talking about when he did fight at 155, which was only about 6 months ago.

    I looked it up and he missed weight for his last fight at 155. Not surprising considering he was 188 in the cage only a few days ago.

    Yeah he missed v pettis, he's very underrated imo, even though Condit is shot to bits at this stage he still made it look easy enough.

    My stream went to shíte for that fight the other night. Only got to see his hand getting raised. Must give it a watch later on.

    It was a really good grappling exchange with a good few sub attempts by both. Well worth the watch.

    Ryan is a FW. He took the fight against BJ because nobody else would fight him.

    He's a massive victim of his reputation as a grappler. Nobody wants to fight a leg lock specialist because they're afraid of getting their knee torn apart and because he's not a big name he's not worth the risk.

    I doubt it's the first time that's happened.
    Vitor comes to mind, if I'm remembering correctly.

    A quick google says for UFC 152, when he fought Jones.
    Fairly sketchy at best

    900,000 is the buy rate figure going around for this ppv. No wonder they want to get Jones fighting again in March. Obviously Cyborg Nunes helped too.

    She's a bit of a Christian nut and problematic in a conspicuous way for many, but her attitude towards a loss sets a new bar - even after the trouncing she got handed. Worth a watch. Dignified without being delusional. Real professionalism.

    Done 700k buys, nothing mad to be honest but better than what they have been doing.

    They need McGregor back as soon as they can.

    If they'd scrapped the Jones fight it would have been around 150-300K maybe

    Cat Zingano has officially launched an appeal to have her fight ruled a no contest. She also wants to know why eye gouging is considered illiegal if done by fingers, elbows or chin but not toes. It should be obvious why toes shouldn't count but I can understand her trying though I don't see her having any success with it. Also who the fúck has ever gouged someone's eye with their chin?!?!?!

    she needs to stfu and just campaign for them to run the fight again, im sure megan would have no issue with it.

    I've definitely seen the chin in the eye being used years ago, you're controlling someone on the ground push it into the eye socket, have some thick stubble for extra annoyance :pac:

    Haha yeah that would extra annoy the hell out of me. I did look earlier for chin to the eye videos but didn’t find any. I did find results of fights in Australia from 1997 where fighters won by submission due to chin to the eye! This really is a mad sport

    Didn't Mark Kerr submit someone back in the day with a chin to the eyeball?

    It's probably on fight pass.
