🚨 Fun fact: Jim Miller has had 43 fights in the UFC and never landed an eye poke. Meanwhile, Jon Jones has reportedly landed 33 actual eye pokes throughout his UFC career. 💀

At this point, as a fan, I wouldn't even recommend him moving down to light heavyweight if he loses to Sergei Pavlovich. I'd tell him to RETIRE before he suffers the Adesanya curse.
Alex Pereira ate some big shots from Glover Teixeira during sparring today 👀

I see that guy was trying to tell Movsar that only a few seconds are left and to hold on, but Movsar just doesn’t have the heart to keep going. He’s a QUITTER.

Is this the end of the wrestling era in the UFC? Strickland beat the shit out of Khamzat, who gets compared to Sadulaev. Petr Yan stopped Merab twice. Volk stopped Movsar, another wrestling-heavy fighter.

🚨 Joe Rogan on the DC situation: “DC is a double champ. He knows more about MMA than almost anyone else. The real problem is that sometimes he gets biased toward his favorite fighters. We’ve seen it many times. We’ve also seen him give fighters advice mid-commentary, and the He needs to address this ASAP. Otherwise, they’re in trouble. BIG, BIG TROUBLE. Just look at me. I’d rather stick to talking about leg kicks, jiu-jitsu, and calf kicks. By the way, how did Alex Pereira ever make 185?”

🚨 Are you guys seeing what I’m seeing? One of Movsar’s cornermen literally ran around the Octagon toward Movsar’s side while Volk was beating the shit out of him. Isn’t that completely illegal? Why do these Dagestani teams have zero impulse control?

Under the official Unified Rules of Mixed Martial Arts (which govern the UFC), cornermen must strictly remain seated in their designated corner outside the Octagon during the rounds and are legally barred from moving around the perimeter of the cage. @danawhite @ufc

⚠️ People need to understand this. Prates would get 8 months of rest, Morales over a year, if Islam fights them next. He stays out until Ramadan, letting the interim champ go straight into camp while he gets plenty of rest. If anyone gets injured, he can drag this out until the end of the year. What a fucking game plan. Always favorable matchups, favorable timing, and never a quick turnaround. What a pussy.
🚨 Islam Makhachev explains why he turned down the Carlos Prates fight in January "They offered me a fight with Prates, who recently lost to [Ian Garry], someone I beat. If I beat him, Morales would already be next in line, who's not fighting and waiting for [a title shot]. Just let them fight and we will figure out who's the real challenger." (via pound4padel/IG)

🚨 Matchmaking after UFC 333 main events: Volk absolutely deserves a shot at Gaethje. The ball’s in his court now, though — retirement, the Conor fight, or Volk vs. Gaethje for LW Gold. And Sean? We absolutely deserve to see him run it back with Yan. That rematch needs to happen.

⚠️ This knockout from Volkanovski was pure art. -> Perfectly landed that 20-pound left fist right on that weak jaw. -> Perfectly mapped the range with the left hand and followed up with the right. Didn’t land perfectly, though. -> Took him down, landed two punches, and Movsar’s head was bouncing off the canvas. -> Exactly at the 25-second mark, you can clearly see Movsar quitting and telling Goddard, “I’m done.” One win for the AGES.

🚨 UFC 334 main event between Hokit and Gane is actually Goddard vs. Gane. Looking at the point deductions Goddard has been handing out in recent fights, Hokit's game plan might just be to protect himself and not get knocked out.

⚠️ People who booed Merab yesterday despite him going through a brutal 5-round war against Yan will boo Joshua Van one day, too. People don't realize Merab gave us 4 title fights in a single year. Which other champion is doing that? Joshua Van might have a great start next year, but the moment things go wrong, the same fans will turn on him. Honestly, being an MMA fan sometimes feels like being a fan of the worst sport ever.

People really said Ilia quit on the stool when his corner stopped the fight. But look what happened to Movsar. You can’t change a fighter’s heart. Only seconds left in the round and bro folded. Never seen a quitter like this in a title fight. #UFC333
Alexander Volkanovski❗️🚨 #UFC333 Wciąż aktualny mistrz kategorii piórkowej ubija w rundzie drugiej niepokonanego dotąd Movsara Evloeva.
