Ed Pereira's July 11th San Francisco IVB Boxing event at Civic Center Plaza is now head-to-head against UFC International Fight Week in Las Vegas with Conor McGregor.
Just wanted to state this in writing.

@JasonAmadi The money is the allure at this point for prospects and even then I'm skeptical that it'll be bankrolled forever.
One thing I'm certain of is that nothing that happened tonight is a sign of things to come in terms of some sport-changing moment.

@mookiealexander When has a promotion based on freak shows ever built up guys like Parnasse into meaningful stars IN that promotion? I feel like people say this all the time, but I’ve never seen it. People who want to see the freaks don’t actually care about the good stuff.
English
It's a mixture of Coker era Bellator, classic Strikeforce, and some modern-ish, non-tournament PFL.
The fights were anywhere from predictable to entertaining to sad. If MVP can find more prospects and guys like Parnasse it'd be preferable to a senior citizens circuit.

How would you rate MVP MMA 1? What should be next for the winners? What does this win mean for Rousey? Let’s talk about it next. Join me!

Rousey claimed she’s getting paid more than her UFC days, so I hope there’s way bigger side deals outside these CSAC purses
Because for context, lawsuit documents we dug up before showed Rousey took home $4.87M against Nunes and $4.5M vs Holm after side deals, bonuses, PPV, etc

Ronda Rousey is making $2.2 million .... Gina Carano $1.05 million Full salaries from #RouseyCarano LINK: mmafighting.com/mvp-mma/488635…

Apparently Rousey by submission was available at -250 and if I'd known that about 5 minutes before the fight started I'd have bet everything on that one outcome.

@mookiealexander They could easily just find awful fighters for Ronda to arm bar like that every few months. Not sure it would be a viable promotion but hey it's not my money being lit on fire.
English
@BasileNicholas @SeanSheehanBA I think the clock graphic stopped at 17. You know ball.
English
@SeanSheehanBA I'm thinking Ronda will take her time out of respect for Carano... so I'm going with 17.
English
For a nostalgia play it was kinda cool to see the Rousey armbar again.

The tape of the tape says Ronda Rousey is 37. She's not, she's 39. What the hell? lol #RouseyCarano

There's no way around how many empty seats there are in the lower bowl of this Rousey-Carano card.

"An absolute classic" as Diaz gets bludgeoned.

Lol Ariel sounds like a weenie when he yells.

Turns out Diaz and JDS were exactly as washed as feared.

I tuned in for MMA but got the Helwani Show instead. For some reason I don't think Jake Paul vs. Francis Ngannou will ever happen.
English
"Francis Ngannou doesn't throw punches. He serves eviction notices to consciousness."
Don't even need to guess who said that.
English
@Grabaka_Hitman Announcing it literally as Ngannou is about to fight. I can't be fooled.
English
I guess he did care after all

I don't know how strong NHL Twitter's "slander graphic" game is, but Alex Lyon getting hooked after allowing 3 goals on 3 shots just 10 minutes into an elimination game is something that should be a meme moving forward.

just finding out that Jim Croce was never a day over 30 years old and it’s shattering my world
Billy Thompson@BILLYTLFC
@BeyondTheMemes I nominate Jim Croce. Died at 30. Impossible to find a picture of him looking a day under 45.
