Dana White releases Cris Cyborg in the UFC over differences with rematch with Amanda Nunes… I’m siding with Cyborg on this one…

Leave a comment

I stopped watching UFC a long time ago. I love UFC and MMA but I can’t watch ’em all the time since their ppv’s are way overpriced.

Anyway, I find this feud kind of interesting so I thought I would respond my thoughts on it. From what I’m reading, Cris Cyborg is dying for a rematch with Amanda Nunes in which she lost to her by knockout last year at UFC 232. She’s been begging for the rematch for a long while but Dana maintains that she doesn’t want the rematch and claims that Cyborg is afraid of losing to Nunes again. From what I’m seeing, Cyborg denies those claims and Cyborg really wants the rematch pretty badly. Like I said, looks like she’s been campaigning for the rematch for a while now.

If she wants the rematch then Dana should give it to her, what’s the problem? Why does Dana have to go out of his way and terminate her contract just because she wants a rematch? That’s all she really wants really.

What is Dana afraid of? Is he afraid of her because she’s different? That’s what it’s sounding like to me. I think the real reason Dana ended up terminating her is ’cause he doesn’t want the way he treated her behind the scenes to get out there… he’s afraid of getting in trouble for his harassment and bullying against her. Either that or he’s scared to death of her actually winning the rematch.

Why does Dana keep putting words in her mouth by saying she doesn’t want the fight when she kept saying publicly she does want it? Her lashing out at him and UFC is a smokescreen to duck a rematch? Really? When fighters want a fight, they really want it. They don’t play around.

With that being said, I stand with Cyborg. I love UFC and MMA, don’t get me wrong but I’m not afraid to say that Dana can be a bit of an asshole.

Thoughts on Justin Bieber vs. Tom Cruise fight, who do I think will win???

Leave a comment

Well, I think Tom Cruise will win, of course. As you all should know by now Justin Bieber challenged iconic actor Tom Cruise to an MMA fight in the Octagon and requested Dana White to do it for them. I know Biebs is probably joking but who knows, maybe he’s actually pretty serious and this fight could end up happening for real. It’s gonna be interesting to see how Tom is gonna respond to this.

Some of you may ask, why would Biebs challenge Tom to a fight? Does he hate him? No. Not at all. I don’t think Biebs hate Tom at all as I think he’s probably a huge fan of Tom’s movies. Justin probably watched the “Jack Reacher” and “Mission Impossible” movies and thought it would be funny to challenge Tom to a fight.

Some of you may say, “Well, movies aren’t real and Tom really doesn’t know how to fight.” Oh yes he does! While Tom didn’t have any martial arts and MMA experience, he was a wrestler back in his high school years so he does know some “fighting” skills before Hollywood.

Look at the response in this post in Quora:

https://www.quora.com/Did-Tom-Cruise-have-martial-arts-training-early-before-filming-his-first-Mission-Impossible-film-1996

Movies maybe fake but since Tom wanted to do all of his own stunts, including all of the fighting… yes, all the fighting scenes he has done over the years in movies were all him. I’m sure he was trained by martial arts professionals and MMA coaches to learn how to fight for film so Tom definitely does have plenty of fighting experience in film.

I think everybody knows that. Maybe Biebs doesn’t really want to fight Tom at all, he’s just joking and stuff, ya know? I think this is just Biebs way of showing Tom respect for doing his own fighting in action films. People are finally starting to catch on about Tom doing his own stunts and people are finally starting to give him respect for it.

I’m pretty sure Tom will respond to this challenge. I’m sure he already heard about it. Will Tom accept and could it actually happen??? Who knows. I doubt it will ’cause Tom is a pretty busy guy and I’m sure he has better things to do like making movies. He’s still working on “Top Gun 2” right now, I believe. I’m sure Tom heard about that tweet Justin posted and I’m sure Tom had a good laugh about it. Hopefully Tom responds this week.

Thoughts on CM Punk losing for 2nd time in UFC… is he done??? It’s pretty likely that he is…

Leave a comment

I didn’t watch UFC 225 last night and I’m glad I didn’t. I love CM Punk and all, but I had a bad feeling he was going to lose for the second time in UFC. It didn’t turn out to be a very good fight at all so I’m glad I didn’t waste my money on it. Punk got beat pretty bad and was left in a bloody mess as you can see.

CM Punk releases statement on UFC 225 loss to Mike Jackson

Is Punk done in the UFC and MMA altogether? According to Dana White himself, he said he is but Punk himself hasn’t responded to Dana yet. You can tell that Punk has passion for MMA and loves it. He wants to continue and keep at it despite losing and not being very good. He does have a lot of balls for wanting to give MMA a try, though. Dana may say Punk is done but looks like Punk wants to keep going. In my opinion, Dana shouldn’t be so quick in ending his career after two losses. I think Dana should give him another chance and give him a third fight.

Punk likes it and you can tell that he does. If it turns out that Punk will be done with UFC and MMA, what’s next? A return to professional wrestling like in WWE? I doubt it ’cause Punk clearly said already that he’s done with WWE and wrestling altogether. If he’s completely done with UFC/WWE then I don’t know what he’ll do next. We’ll have to wait and see. Maybe he will return to WWE, who knows? Anything is possible.

I still love watching MMA, though. I just don’t watch it that much anymore ’cause their ppvs are overpriced.

The Keaton Jones bullying story is powerful and inspiring…

Leave a comment

Yes, bullying in schools is still a problem in America. Always has been for decades. Unfortunately, the problem has never been taking care of. In fact, the bullying has gotten much worse in this country.

I’ve just recently started following the Keaton Jones bullying story that just went viral today. It first caught my attention when Dana White of the UFC started posting about it on twitter. I saw the Keaton Jones video and it was a powerful and inspiring message. Keaton Jones caught the attention of Dana White, Chris Evans and other famous people.

http://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/2017/12/10/keaton-jones-receives-celebrity-gift-offers-from-chris-evans-dana-white-and-more-after-viral-bullying-video.html

The left started to feel sorry for Keaton up until they discovered that Keaton’s mother, Kimberly might be a right-wing conservative ’cause she had FB pics of her with the Confederate Flag, and she had pics of the American Flag too. So some on the left went out of their way to start bullying Keaton’s Mom like the loser hypocrites they are. Unfortunately, Keaton’s Mom whose name is Kimberly is in a liberal backlash over the Confederate Flag photos.

https://thegrapevine.theroot.com/he-went-viral-because-of-bullying-but-keaton-jones-mot-1821184917

Awwwwww….. poor lefties… you’re only upset ’cause Keaton’s families political views are different than yours, boo hoo. That’s all they are, in my opinion. Just upset that the political views are different. Nothing more, nothing less.

There’s nothing wrong with supporting the Confederate Flag still, and it doesn’t make you racist if you still do. Once again, libtards are upset ’cause Keaton’s family aren’t liberals so they attack. Hey liberals, the world doesn’t revolve you and you’re going to live with that. You’re going to have to accept that everyone’s political views are going to be different so fucking deal with it.

On top of all this, though, school bullying is pretty serious and it’s no joke ’cause I’ve been a victim of bullying through school myself. I’m feeling Keaton. Yes, I really was bullied throughout middle school and high school. I’ve been picked on, been made fun of and have been laughed at by the whole class a lot. I’ve never really gotten myself into any fist fights or nothing like that, but I have been pushed around and have been kicked a few times before. I’ve also been threatened to fight some kid after school a few times as well (I’ve never showed up, of course). I’ve had other kids ruin school projects on me many times and kids made fun of my appearance many times. School is nuts, it really is. People have no idea what kids really go through at school.

I still remember some of the bullies and still remember their names. A few of them actually became friends with me now that we’re older. A lot of them I don’t see anymore which is good. I see some of them went to jail for some things over the years which is interesting. Some of them even have FB accounts. Yep, I still remember who most of them are. There were even girls that picked on me too.

I still do get bullied by people who are full grown adults to this day, but I’m grown up enough and tough enough to ignore it all now. I was bullied through my school years ’cause maybe I was very shy (I really was) and maybe I was different ’cause I have scoliosis, ya know?

Anyway, the school days are over and I’m glad. As I get older, I learned how to stay positive, stay strong and stay above the negativity.

As far as that Keaton video goes, what he did was very brave and courageous. Keaton’s Mom releases that video and his family gets all kinds of harassment by stupid leftards. Now you just figured out why some young kids are so afraid to speak out about being a victim of bullying ’cause you never know what kind of reaction they’ll get. Think about that.

Video: Proof that the McGregor vs. Mayweather fight was rigged?

Leave a comment

Everybody on the internet is still debating the “McGregor vs. Mayweather” fight. There are those that believe that the fight was real & legitimate and there are those who believe the fight was rigged/fake.

The fight really was rigged. It was rigged from the get-go; it was easy for me to figure out. There’s a pretty good reason why Conor never did one of his hard-punches that the guy is known for — maybe it’s because he wasn’t allowed to? It seemed to me the whole fight was scripted, planned out beforehand and orchestrated. The proof is in the video above.

Everybody wants to believe that McGregor was a pussy and didn’t have a chance to beat Floyd but maybe that was the fight’s intention all-along? McGregor was willing to lose and was willing to make himself look like he couldn’t beat Floyd. They were definitely fake fighting for sure. Conor through a bunch of jabs at Floyd but they barely hit him.

I tell ya if this was a real fight then it would have been a bloodbath. Floyd would have had some cuts on his face and a black eye — maybe Conor would have been a bloody mess too. Conor’s an MMA fighter… if this was a real fight then Conor would have been a lot more brutal on Floyd but it looks like Conor was secretly ordered to go easy on Floyd.

I agree with some that Floyd and Conor should take a rematch to the Octagon next time. Even Floyd himself challenged Conor to the Octagon so will Floyd follow through?

It’s interesting though that Conor and Floyd spent a couple of months trash talking each other — now it’s all over with, they love each other all of a sudden. Goes to show this whole thing is a work, absolutely.

It’s a shame to see that many won’t admit that Floyd is a fraud and always has been. He’s not a great boxer at all. This wasn’t the first time Floyd paid a lot of money to rig a fight ’cause I believe Floyd rigged his 49 other fights that he was undefeated for. I think many are afraid to say negative things about Floyd ’cause they’re afraid of the race card pretty much.

Regardless of your opinion of this fight, it is the most talked about fight in history. I remember the last most-talked about boxing match was when Mike Tyson bit Holyfield’s ear and I still remember that match too like it was yesterday. I watched that fight on ppv years back too.

Fuck boxing, that Mayweather vs. McGregor fight would have been better if it wasn’t rigged…

1 Comment

Yes, I watched that fight. I just couldn’t help myself but watch it out of curiosity. This fight really is the fight of the century. The fight got everyone talking. Even if people aren’t into boxing or MMA, the non-fans even got talking about it. Whether you agree with this fight or not, it is great publicity for both boxing & MMA — that can’t be denied.

Anyways, about my thoughts on last night’s ppv… I thought the undercard fights were good except for the second one: Nathan Cleverly vs. Badou Jack (aka Jack the Ripper). That fight was bullshit ’cause even though Jack was winning the fight, Cleverly was still trying to fight but the ref called for the bell and ended the fight anyways. That was dumb. So that gives you a little clue of what’s about to happen later on during the Mayweather vs. McGregor fight.

I thought the other two undercard fights were pretty good, though.

As far as the big main event goes: Floyd Mayweather vs. Conor McGregor — everyone’s praising that fight saying both men did a great job and more people are giving both men more respect. Really? That fight was actually mediocre at best.

From what I’ve seen, Conor was actually kickin’ ass and doing real good and like usual Floyd was boring in the ring like always. I don’t know why people keep praising Floyd like he’s this great boxer when technically he’s lousy. I know I defended Floyd in the past but after last night, I was wrong.

Conor could have knocked out Floyd easily if it was a real fight but I think it was obviously planned… the fight was a work and totally rigged. The ref, of course, sided with Floyd most of the time and the ref gave Conor so much shit throughout the fight. I was rooting for Conor to win but with this being a Floyd Mayweather production company being in charge of the fight, you shouldn’t have been surprised that Floyd was gonna win no matter what. Floyd probably did already buy the win beforehand.

The fight was totally rigged ’cause to me it looked like Conor wasn’t ready to end the fight during that 10th round. Floyd kept punching Conor and the ref just suddenly called it off. Conor wasn’t knocked down at all. I’m seeing from a lot of fans saying that Conor was beat up badly and knocked out. Really? Conor wasn’t knocked out at all. Sure, Conor was looking a bit worn out and tired but he still had some fight in him; he definitely wasn’t done at all.

So I’m sitting here thinking that no matter what Conor tried to do to win the fight: whether by knockout, TKO or unanimous decision… Conor would lose no matter the situation ’cause Floyd was gonna win no matter what happened. Floyd probably paid the promoters, the judges and the ref a lot of money to make him look good for most of the fight.

Floyd didn’t look good out in the ring; he looked old, tired and boring. Floyd didn’t go “all in”. No matter the outcome of the fight, both men are happy anyways ’cause they both got paid bigly. That’s why Conor looks very happy even if he lost ’cause I’ve read that Conor got paid $100 million for the fight while Floyd got paid a lot more.

After last night’s fight, I can see why people stopped caring for boxing. Pro boxing have been rigged and corrupt for a long time. There’s a good reason people stopped watching boxing.

I also love how a lot of people are trying to make claims that Conor knows nothing about boxing and doesn’t have any experience. Don’t listen to them. They’re just making lies to make Floyd look good. Conor had years of experience in boxing. I’m sure he had to do a lot of boxing training before he got into MMA. He definitely seem to know what he was doing last night except I wish he would put his hands up in front of his face more to protect himself which he didn’t do much.

I enjoy boxing but not pro boxing. I prefer amatuer boxing more. I may be learning boxing myself but I just do it as a hobby. I’ll never step in a ring, ever.

Despite the disappointing results of the fight last night, it was interesting to watch so it was definitely worth the money, absolutely.

Who’s more entertaining to listen to on the microphone??? Floyd Mayweather Jr. or Conor McGregor?

Leave a comment

I just watched the London press conference earlier this afternoon between Conor McGregor and Floyd Mayweather Jr. The more I watch these live events the more it makes me feel like watching a WWE show. This London press conference feels like a WWE RAW show almost.

You know how on WWE RAW when they have these in ring segments when they have tables in the ring to sign contracts for a certain PPV match? Well this press conference reminds me of that.

I was expecting McGregor and Mayweather to go at it… ya know, beat each other up. McGregor throwing Mayweather through a table like in wrestling but that didn’t happen. Lmao… This isn’t a wrestling storyline — even though it may seem like it is — this is real life. Some people believe this feud is scripted and a work to help promote the fight but I don’t think so. I believe this feud is real… Conor and Floyd Jr. really do hate each others guts.

So who’s more entertaining to listen to on the microphone? In my opinion, it’s definitely Conor. That dude is funny as hell to listen to and entertaining. Conor is a good speaker too. Conor is a pretty humble and down to Earth guy… maybe that’s a part of why Floyd Jr. hates him so much? haha…. I also believe that Conor is the better trashtalker than Floyd. When Floyd talks trash to Conor, it’s the same usual bullshit: “I am rich, you’re not. I am undefeated, blah blah blah blah…”. Floyd talking about himself most of the time being the huge narcissist that he is. Conor; however, is a more intelligent guy. Conor just tells the world of what he plans to do at the fight and goes into detail about it. Conor makes it believable that he’s going to beat Floyd’s ass.

As you can see in the video above, Floyd is annoying as hell, though. My favorite part of the press conference today was when Floyd actually challenged McGregor for a possible rematch in the UFC, yes an Octagon fight. Floyd challenged McGregor to a real fight in the Octagon, hahaha….

http://www.businessinsider.com/floyd-mayweather-conor-mcgregor-teased-fight-rematch-ufc-octagon-2017-7

Oh man, if Floyd is serious on fighting McGregor in the Octagon someday… I so fucking dare him. Floyd needs to know the difference between boxing and MMA. I don’t think Floyd could survive in the Octagon during a UFC ppv. If an Octagon fight in the UFC between those two happened, would Floyd Jr. accept the fight and follow through? I doubt it. I think Floyd Jr. would back out of Octagon fight and chicken out.

I truly believe Conor would beat Floyd easily. Hopefully, Conor gives Floyd a bloody mouth and a black eye. Time to shut Floyd up for good. Floyd getting his ass kicked is long overdue and Conor would do that. I’m rooting for Conor and I truly believe he can do it. Time to put Floyd’s undefeated streak to an end.

Floyd Mayweather Jr. owes $22.2M in taxes… McGregor and Canada picks on Floyd Jr. for it…

Leave a comment

Floyd Mayweather Jr. always loved to brag about being rich and making all that money; however, he owes $22.2 million with the IRS. Never paid his taxes.

http://www.espn.com/boxing/story/_/id/19965730/floyd-mayweather-owes-222m-2015-taxes-according-irs-lien

In the live event promoting the McGregor/Mayweather fight in Toronto, Canada… you can see in the video above McGregor and Canadians make fun of Floyd for not paying his taxes. Watch the video above, it’s funny shit.

I wonder if the trash talking between McGregor and Floyd is real or if it’s just for “show” to promote the fight? Do McGregor and Floyd hate each other for real? Yeah, they do hate each other for real. McGregor is just like us… he too is sick of Floyd’s huge ego and sick of him being undefeated… McGregor wanted this fight to come make a point. McGregor wants to shut Floyd up pretty badly. McGregor believes Floyd isn’t a real fighter and he wants to come around and prove that. There really is a lot of tension between those two.

I do love the video above, though… McGregor is already making Floyd look like a pussy and doing a good job of it. Floyd tries to makes himself look like a better man ’cause of all that money he makes and that backfired on Floyd when they said he owes taxes. Hilarious.

Floyd knows he can afford those taxes easily but he’ll never pay ’em ’cause he doesn’t want to lose his money when he knows he’ll get more. No doubt Floyd is a bit greedy when it comes to his money and fame. It’s clear that all Floyd cares about is money and McGregor wants to come around to show him that money isn’t everything.

You gotta hand it to McGregor, though, that man has balls to be aggressive to Floyd ’cause Manny Pacquiao was a bit too friendly. Can McGregor prove that Floyd Jr. isn’t a great fighter like he thought he was? We’ll have to wait and see. That would be thrilling if McGregor can beat him.

Ronda Rousey vs. Amanda Nunes, was that her final fight in UFC for Ronda? If so, what’s next???

Leave a comment

Well last night on PPV, I watched UFC 207 ’cause I didn’t want to miss the Ronda Rousey vs. Amanda Nunes championship fight. While it was disappointing and sad that Ronda took a good beating and lost, it was still a good fight anyways. I was hoping Ronda would come back in true form and beat Amanda’s ass but instead, the opposite happened. Amanda ended up beating Ronda pretty quick. The fight was very quick. It only lasted a couple of seconds. All it took was a couple of punches for Amanda to win and that was it. The referee stopped the fight. Still a good fight though and it made me like Amanda Nunes even more.

I thought all the other fights were really good too especially Cody Garbrandt vs. Dominick Cruz, that fight right there would have to be the best fight of the night, I would say.

Anyway, back to Ronda’s loss last night, she looked pretty pissed and upset after the fight got over with, though. Ronda seemed upset that the referee stopped the fight so soon and she wanted to keep it going. Ronda didn’t stay after the fight to interview with Joe Rogan and she didn’t even give Amanda a handshake or a hug either. Amanda tried to give Ronda a hug but Ronda and her team were quick to leave the Octagon. Amanda got to hug one of Ronda’s staff members, though. Amanda was just trying to give Ronda respect last night but Ronda wasn’t having it.

So looks like it’s gonna be over for Ronda in UFC. She might get forced to retire soon but we’ll wait to see what Dana White says. She’s probably gonna be done ’cause she lost two fights and I think Ronda is getting too worn out. What’s next for Ronda if she does get forced to retire? Well Ronda will probably act in movies full time, she’ll become a full time actress for sure I think. She can also do some stuff with WWE ’cause WWE wants to sign her pretty badly. Not sure if Ronda is gonna go for a full time WWE run or part time, we’ll have to wait and see. Anyway, if Ronda does get signed for WWE, I can see a Charlotte vs. Ronda match happening at the next Wrestlemania for sure ’cause I believe that’s what they want.

I feel bad for Ronda but she have to learn that there will be other women who are better than her in fighting. I think Ronda just realized that last night. I wish Ronda the best in her future.

So how long CM Punk’s future in UFC/MMA would last???

Leave a comment

So last night on ppv, I couldn’t resist watching “UFC 203” ’cause like most UFC and WWE fans, I too was curious on how CM Punk was gonna do in his first MMA caged fight. I just had to see it for myself, ya know? A lot of people were wondering whether CM Punk was gonna do bad or do good but as expected CM Punk did pretty badly. Which is expected since CM Punk doesn’t have much of an martial arts and MMA background. CM Punk is a professional wrestler. He’s got a huge background in wrestling instead so it was expected that Punk wouldn’t do well against Mickey Gall. The fight last night was an easy win for Mickey Gall. Gall beat Punk in a bloody mess and Gall wouldn’t let Punk get a chance to do anything either. Punk tried his best to fight back and defend himself but Gall was too tough. It was a pretty good fight, though ’cause I was impressed with Mickey Gall.

After the fight got over with, I gained even more respect for CM Punk. That guy has been my favorite wrestler for years. Love Punk or hate him, what that guy did was pretty ballsy. He really was brave and courageous to do what he did last night.

I loved Punk’s speech after the fight ’cause he said that life is about getting knocked down and getting back up. He also said you must believe in yourself. He said that if you want to go after your dreams, you can’t listen to anybody and go for it. Which is good advice and I’ve had that attitude for a long time now. Going after what I want and not giving a shit what anyone thinks.

So what is Punk’s future gonna be like in MMA? Will his MMA career be a success or will it be short? Who knows. We’ll have to wait and see. I’m pretty sure Dana White will give Punk another chance so we’ll see how Punk does on his next fight. Keep in mind, Brock Lesnar lost his first UFC fight to Frank Mir but came out on top after so the same could happen to Punk.

It was a pretty good ppv though. I thought the best fights of the night last night were Jessica Andrade vs. Joanne Calderwood, CM Punk vs. Mickey Gall and Stipe Miocic vs. Alistair Overeem. The other two fights RIvera vs. Faber and Browne vs. Werdum were pretty boring as fuck, though.

I wish CM Punk the best of luck in his MMA career. He’s gonna have to learn that this isn’t WWE and MMA is a whole different thing.
