Excellent episode. Best in a long time.

Sage Northcutt is so many cheesy American stereotypes rolled into one, but its impossible to not like him. Very sound guy I reckon

The Ludwig interview was hilarious. The man is clearly a few sandwiches short of a picnic. Aeriel got seriously pissed off about the 3rd time he brought up the fact he thought he was blown off by The MMA Hour last week. :pac:

Ludwig definitely doesn't do himself any favours and he is a very 'in your face' kinda guy. I think he's just a bit of an oddball to be fair.

Between Ludwig and Garbrandt, Dillashaw ended up looking pretty bad in the whole TAM thing thats going on right now.

Let's not forget though, the whole Bang, TJ, Faber, TAM thing.... IT'S ALL CONOR'S FAULT!! :pac:

What a prick Ludwig, he doesn't make any sense at all, reminds me on Nick Diaz. Everyone against him.

Still has an issue with women being thumped in the face.

Yeah I was surprised how open Garbrandt was about things. There was alot of contradictions mentioned by all 3 of them too with each saying yeah we're cool, we should be all working together and then saying something the complete opposite of that.

Rumours going around that Miocic is injured. Sickner if true

Paully D

Ridiculous really:

Feel awful for anyone who bought tickets, the card suddenly looks a lot worse with just that injury.

Who realistically fills in? The card goes down in quality without that fight, it was the main one I was looking forward to tbh.

Arlovski or Browne are the only options, but I'd say it will just scrapped altogether, hope I'm wrong though.

Sage Northcutt creeps me out a little, reminds me of a Stepford Wife.

I'm calling it now be goes off the deep end and turns into a heel. Reminds me of an Amish kid doing that devils weekend thing.

I really hope Diaz has other appeals strategy than this!

Can he actually appeal it straight out as a petition v the 2 WADA passed tests is a no brainer to me.

Ronda's mam goes off on Edmond Tarverdyan. Looks like she's been wanting to say this for a while. "I think he's a terrible coach and a bad person"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ESbkF_0A0g

I listend to Ronda and Edmond on Rogan's podcast a few weeks back and they were laughing about the fact that Edmond didn't like her at the start. Literally zero animosity between them. As to why Ronda's mam wants to bring this up now is beyond me.

I didn't watch this video to the end the first time around. Just it being brought up on Reddit. Check it out from 3.50 on wards.

Roid rage. It's gotta be

Rousey's Ma is a fúckin nut

/edit, nobody is as nice as Northcutt without being a complete psycho.

I'd say the mask will fall off at some point, and the media will leap over it. Like Jones, he wont be as clean cut as he appears to be

Ronda's image is taking hits.

First there's the news that she's dating Travis Browne (who was cleared by the UFC of domestic violence because of inconclusive evidence, not because there wasn't any and who's accuser says is still going to press charges) and now her mother is getting involved in this stuff publically.

Uuugghh I hope he doesn't mean he won't be taking fights for 8-12 months. Should be made hand back the belt if he does. Not that LHW is swarming with possible contenders but champs should be the most active fighters, not taking breaks.

martyos121

No DC, you do not deserve a break for fighting 6 times in two years. Sick of the new champion culture in UFC, where they feel no pressure on themselves to take any fights just because they have the shiny gold belt. As Zero said, you should be fighting more if anything.

Mr. Manager

Make Cowboy and Hall champions. Shít would get real interesting then. There'd be like 10 title fights a year between them alone.

martyos121

The Diaz petition has over 100,000 signatures now, so it will have to be officially looked into by the US Government.

Six fights in two years is a lot at the elite level, can't think of many that have fought more or as often as that? Watching UFC the past ten years i don't expect any champion to fight more than twice a year.
I think if he fights within 6-7 months that's fair enough. Not like he is holding up the division either, there's only one fight people want to see.

For fear anyone misses it, Paully D posted this incredible fight in the ONE thread last night. Treat yourself.

Cowboy Cerrone's 10 most recent fights were in the space of two years. I'd consider that to be the upper limit of what's possible.

No way should a champ could sustain that level though.
