He should have been given the decision in the 2nd Lawler fight from what i remember but jesus its been some slide since then

Has there been a bigger fall while someone should be arguably in their prime? Renan Barao comes to mind too

He was just to fond of the food. Owning a steakhouse probably didn't help either but that also closed down.

Lukker-

USADA didn’t help

The food can explain any missed weight but not the fact his performances fell off a cliff, its unfair really without any hint of a failed test but usada is one possible explanation and such a pity whatever it is, he gave GSP one hell of a fight too

Rumours of cyborg v rousey........wwe 😂

Kid Yamamoto passes away at 41. He announced a few weeks ago he was fighting cancer.

Highlight for me will always be his 1 second knockout


Alternate angle here

Jesus. Used to watch him a lot back in the early days. RIP

So there are at least 2 bare knuckle organisations now, watched a bit of bkb 2 weeks ago, a Sligo dude became a 3 weight champion for them. Production quality was pretty funny.

Wow! How soft is he looking there? He's going to look more like DC physique wise by the time the fight comes around.

That's hilarious. DC is going to smash him.

He may have to wear a bra for those saggy tits

Surely Lesnar loses almost all of his appeal if he turns up soft and saggy. Which looks inevitable based on the above pic

I see Livia Souza is a best priced 1/16 to beat Alex Chambers at the weekend.

I believe she’s the biggest favourite in UFC history at those odds. Even Ronda at her peak never hit that price.

I can go dig out my post in the MMA gambling thread but I had Dillashaw backed to win by KO in the 5th round at 66/1 in that fight. I hope this doesn't count as aftertiming as my post is in the thread! To date one of my biggest ever wins

1/10 by what I can see.

The Reem is no Vitor though, still a monster and outlier in terms of size and muscle mass.

It's not impossible. His ban with USADA was never finalised as the hearing was pushed and pushed. To fight in November, he's need to be given an unorthodox 15 month ban. Even if they planned on 15 months (unlikely), they've left if far too late and it looks dodgy if they dish it out now.

He'll be out until UFC 239 imo.

WOW! Not a big gambler so never noticed but 1/16 smallest odds in UFC history? Shows how cool an unpredictable this sport is compare that to Eddie Hearns regular 1/200 fights on PPV boxing
