@MMAFIXED Hate the way they’re running numbered cards on Paramount. I love listening to the corners. Now it just ads

@BlindBearMedia I love the Mac but I think Conor tags him up early, doesn’t get him out and Max starts to piece him up starting mid 2nd once Conor’s gas tank is gone. 3rd or 4th round finish for Max.
English

@BlindBearMedia Best is definitely Lopes Garcia, but Pereira and Gane is super intriguing. Will be interesting to see how Pereira handles the size difference

I agree, but also Lins went in knowing what he’d be paid. He had to have negotiated his pay prior to signing to fight. So it’s not like he went in blind. The issue is that Lins is really a LHW. He hasn’t fought at HW since 2020 and hasn’t won at HW since he won PFL in 2018. Tough to find a competitive fight for Ngannou outside of a promotion.

@BigRyMMA @Real_dope61 @shawnemerriman Well the negative thing ill say is the fighter pay was far from equal. Francis made 1.5 million and lins only got paid 100k. Thats a 1.4 million dollar difference. Not saying lins should have made 1.5 milly but give he 500k fuck he got in the cage with a beast

@TheRealCobiMMA IF (big if) the right Conor shows up then he has a shot very early on in the fight. If it goes to the second, Max will put the gas on him and break him down

@notquitefamous1 @certifiedzester Picked apart just means outclassed. Could be picked apart on the feet. Could be picked apart on the ground…
English

@BigRyMMA @certifiedzester Do you even know what picked apart means? It has nothing to do with grappling
English

@notquitefamous1 @certifiedzester Spivac has a 60% takedown accuracy and 8 subs in 18 wins
English

@BigRyMMA @certifiedzester Spivac is not picking him apart. Everyone Despaigne faced had to resort to grappling
English

@Real_dope61 @shawnemerriman I don’t think he’s bad for combat sports. I don’t like him as a fighter, but he does do a lot to promote other fighters.

@BigRyMMA @shawnemerriman Sucks that Jake Paul had his hands all over it though lol

@lthomasnews Good for MMA. Not everyone is going to get paramount or throw on a PFL card. But Netflix is a household platform and given the right names people will watch. Would love to see them push past nostalgia fighters and put kore up and comers on the main card.

@Elonov_MMA Maybe his involvement with an underage girl had something to do with all this. Like Chris Carter in Philly, all he did was catch touchdowns (and do a bunch of coke). Maybe he and Dana both agreed to keep it about the bottom line and not his less than desirable choices.
English

@MMAdamMartin What else can she do. It’s not like she’s on a title run. It was a one off. We’ll probably never see her again
English

@RGIII Jones. Ngannous never faced anyone who can do it all at that level
English

Dear MMA Fans, this is a Safe Space.
Who do you got if Jon Jones and Francis Ngannou fight and why? #RouseyCarano


English

@JHagholm1 Only if you look at it as one night. Last weekend prates showed he’s a star in the making
English

My biggest takeaway from tonight about MMA is that the sport is in some serious trouble as there are no new stars being created
Rousey Conor Ngannou still popular which is great for their name value but they are all into their late 30’s or 40’s

@JHagholm1 @shawnemerriman Not that this card necessarily did that, but for their first MMA card I don’t think they had to.
English

This is a bigger discussion but using a household name like rousey to draw someone in can be a great way to make someone else a household name. Masvidal wasn’t a huge name until the askren fight. That was on a Jon jones/amanda nunes card. Had that been a fight night, it wouldn’t have had half the viewership
