patrick bateman Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 I was thinking about this after a conversation with a friend. The whole paddy's pal topping himself thing. I'm not sure I'd be trumpeting it to the world. Firstly, it's a private matter and bringing it that publicity might be shit for the family. Secondly, what if the lad was a MMA guy and he's had some concussion/cte issues, not great for the UFC. Then, you've got the fact that you're on there saying if you're struggling speak to someone, but if I'm such a shite pal that one of my mates would rather end it than speak to me, who am I to be lecturing ... What if he'd ignored the lads messages cos he was too busy for example. Hard to fathom being that guy Not great. Link to comment

Thinking way too much, in the times we live in I'm sure his family will think of it as a nice gesture. Most love a bit of attention, no matter what the circumstances. Paddy will never make top 5 in the UFC. Link to comment

Craig has submitted I think 3 of the current top 10 in his weight division so he's dangerous on the ground and his opponent knew that so he made sure he stayed on his feet. I agree his tactics were poor he's nowhere near well rounded enough to challenge the very best in his division. I agree with all of that .? Link to comment

patrick bateman Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 Not a UFC guy per se so far from an expert but this seems a shitty way to treat the 'talent' or is it just a case of the brand is more important than the actual fighters. https://www.espn.com/mma/story/_/id/34389555/ufc-president-dana-white-not-planning-fighter-raises-guys-get-paid-supposed-get-paid Link to comment

The score card was probably right now I've watched it back. (Paddy fight). He isn't as good as he thinks however. Darren Till is finished however. Turkey teeth Till needs to retire Link to comment
Singapore Steve Posted January 3, 2023 Share Posted January 3, 2023 Dana White on Video slapping his wife in the face in some night club during New Year. Interesting to see what Disney things of this. Link to comment
Singapore Steve Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 Been waiting for a Jake Paul or someone such like to respond, but all very quiet from internet trolls. Dana has taken the first step and addressed the video in a TV interview. Nae good hitting the wife though. Link to comment

Edwin Starr Posted March 10, 2023 Share Posted March 10, 2023 Jon Jones win against Gane for me unexpected due to being away from the octagon for over 2 years . Made very light work by beating a man who has many different skills and has punching power . Hopefully we can see Francis Ngannou back after a possible multi million pound fight with Tyson Fury. I'd love to see Francis fight Jones . If he hits him he will knock Jones out . But if it goes to the ground it will favour Jones . Link to comment

If I was to put money on it I think he wins the rematch but Edwards never turned up last time until the last 20 seconds so it'll be interesting how much confidence thats given him. Link to comment

Think Edwards won't see the 2nd round . Edwards is very good but Usman is in a different league. That was some finish from Edwards with just seconds to go to be fair . Link to comment
Roberto Posted March 26, 2023 Share Posted March 26, 2023 Literally made same post in boxing thread about judges. Oh dear same could be said in here. Link to comment
Quagmire Posted April 10, 2023 Share Posted April 10, 2023 Don't particularly like Adesanya but fair play to him yesterday. Great game plan and finish. All round decent card. Link to comment
Singapore Steve Posted September 11, 2023 Share Posted September 11, 2023 @Quagmire You must be quite happy with that humbling yesterday for Adesanya? Stickland deserved that and dominated every round, very unlucky not to have finished him in the 1st. Link to comment
milne_afc Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 https://twitter.com/mma_orbit/status/1779086410202411147?s=46 what’s going on here @NEM? is this just intimidation or a genuine advantage? Link to comment
minijc Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 Legalised cheating, was far worse when he fought in the division below as he is fucking massive, although packing on 2st from one morning to the next doesn't feel quite right with me 1 Link to comment
