I hope it's not Gadhela anyway, coaches need some personality plus if Rose is a coach it just means we get Pat Barry add assistant coach which will be a good laugh.

Imagine Jones DC were the other coaches. ...EPIC!

Il Try find my post but I said JJ & Jones/DC would be unreal if it happened, not very likely though. Needs some decent coach's, for some reason I think it could be might mouse and Cejudo.

Why does there have to be four coaches?

They could do it for a rating boost, but there's no reason why women can't coach the men. They are coaching, nit sparring partners.

Subcomandante Marcos

It's Joanna and Claudia, that's what the rumours have been all along.
Makes sense with Claudia being the next in line for a title shot.

The guys won't take the woman seriously is what I was trying to get at, as stupid as that sounds . All in my opinion of course.

No doubt some would have that attitude. Some 205ers might even fail to take the likes of Might mouse of TJ seriously. But that's an incredibly retarded attitude imo. Especially considering these guys all failed to get signed previously to one of the shallower divisions.
There's other people there for training, sparing coach, grapling coach etc. The fighters are there for attitude above all else. JJ and Thug Rose both have great attitudes for the sport. (Rose's head shave for example). Even more so impressive considering they are in a division full of moany bitches.

I totally agree it's absolutely ridulous that in this day and age people would have that attitude, I'd be fairly confident that the majority of them would though. Ego plays a massive party especially if your a bloke 100lbs bigger than your coach. I love rose & JJ but id feel for them If it goes ahead that way because it'll ruin there experience.

I honestly don't think MM's stock will rise from doing TUF but wouldn't be surprised if UFC tried in some way. Phenomenal fighter but i completely switch off when he starts talking and i don't have a clue why. A lot of people don't like the lighter weights because of their size so wouldn't help to have him towered over by 205ers.

ASOT

Nick Diaz gave a really good insight into boxing in mma on chaels podcast, didn't sound like he had just had a stroke either. Also went on about GSP missing weight when they fought, decent interview actually and nick was sure he would have tested positive for weed, he tuaght it would be his last fight.

Why would you buy an xmas present for someone you dislike?

maximoose

Ah I don't dislike them, but asked them weeks ago if there's anything they'd like and they tell me 2 days before Christmas and when I've already bought something :pac:

Not long til their birthday though so was gonna pick it up anyway, but doesn't appear to be any stocking that I can see on this island.. ah well.

Is Demetrios Johnson really the best pound-for-pound fighter in the world like the rankings say? How strong is the competition in his division?

He's in the discussion anyway. Jones is the best though.

I saw some of the McGregor Reebok shirts in one of the sports shops (possibly Lifestyle sports) either in the St Stephens green centre or around that end of Grafton Street last Saturday.

Zero-Cool

Speaking of, I see Conor has new reebok runners and tshirt....but you can't buy them in Ireland. Reebok shop is ridiculous.

ASOT

Tibau actually failed an in competition test aswell, so there goes his defence of not knowingly taking epo....

This is quite normal no? That they have their social media taken care of by managers or employees?

I don't think anyone believes that it is the account holder always posting but its embarrassing to get caught out so blatantly!

Gamebred

I despise that fraud ali,I cant wait to see his face when Frankie is retired by Conor,its one thing having your manager do promotion on your page but posting saying ill answer questions for 10 mins is a bit off imo,honey dicking the supporters thinking edgar is replying to them.

Too hard to say if it is or isn't from that picture IMO, it could have been edited etc, but anyone expecting him to have changed or turned a corner will be in for a rude awakening IMO. I don't think he can or will change. There'll be another sob story interview with Helwani by this time next year.

martyos121

He's just trolling us again, he's done this before. Does anyone really believe he'd post a picture up of nothing important and just forget about a bag of drugs he left on the table? It's not even powder, if you look closely it's a couple of pills, look like multivitamins or fish oil capsules.

I'd very much doubt he'd make practical jokes at this stage of the saga just when hes over it,its not the first time either hes posted a pic with parafanilia in the backround.

I would very much believe it, he has a track record of trolling and working people up, he's actually a smart lad in fairness to him, he knows hot to get a reaction. It's definitely not coke or any other powder for that matter, if you inspect it closely. Looks to be vitamins but I'm not saying that's a fact.

Holy **** what a treat for this side of the pond. Im calling Bisping win by KO now that Anderson is probably off the ol viagra.
