Got Damb I just seen photos of Brazil, looks nuts

Damn Aldo rocks with this dude

All my favorite fighters turning out to be far right-wing ****heads. BJ, now Aldo.

I am scared to look into Shogun's and GSP's political views.

Rusty became a conservative after I unleashed these hands.

 

[boxer15]

I feel like with the overwhelming majority of Brazilian fighters being serious Christians, it is no surprise most of them support Bolsonaro and Trump.

 

[Beans]

I’ll never understand the level of naivety ones has to think trump is a real Christian

The bulk of the mma fanbase has always been comprised of poorly educated, conservative nincompoops.

Fighters ands fans alike.

…it is known.

 

[Davey Magoo]

Sports in general are built on a foundation of very simple-minded thinking.

How to get this ball from A to Z without being stopped.

How to kick someone’s *** before they kick yours.

People who think simplistically, for whatever reason, tend to be drawn to that. Doesn’t mean everyone who plays or likes sports is conservative or simpleminded…but it certainly explains the mentality of a lot people who are obsessed with them.

Then you’ve got cage fighting…the ultimate form of organized violence.

…what kind of people do you think are generally drawn to that?

 

[Davey Magoo]

You’re right. But just pointing out how there wasn’t any sensitivity on ESPN’s behalf.

As far as his behavior, he’s had numerous issues off the field. So agreed. Dana, besides scum bag behavior, has not engaged in the level of duckery Bauer did.

Can anyone watch that video and honestly say they think that’s the first time Dana White has ever popped his wife?

No way to say for sure.

…but it’s highly unlikely.

 

[Davey Magoo]

lol

Sean O’Malley is a low class **** from Montana.

…not surprised at all.

Guys like him and Jamahal Hill are what you get from a lot of cage fighters.

It’s always something I’ve been embarrassed about as an mma fan.

 

[ecook0808]

Davey Magoo I saw you quote me but can’t find it fam?

 

[xbiker47]

Khabib not cornering islam next month?

 

[Davey Magoo]

Davey Magoo I saw you quote me but can’t find it fam?

Not sure if I quoted you or not.

…went on several rants.😃

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Khabib not cornering islam next month?

Uncertain

Umar is also fighting this Saturday

I found it weird that khabib wasn’t cornering usman when he won the title, maybe it makes more sense now

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Gastelum on that till privilege lol

Headlining a fight when dude has lost like 5 of his last 6

 

[spiderjericho]

Henry be saying some racist ish

 

[313sole]

Henry be saying some racist ish

That's wild...please tell me Sterling has some kind of partnership with Hennessy.

 

[spiderjericho]

He said the same bs about bringing the belt back to America for TJ/AlJo.

:/



Are the fried chicken and water melon insults next?

 

[xbiker47]

Uncertain

Umar is also fighting this Saturday

I found it weird that khabib wasn’t cornering usman when he won the title, maybe it makes more sense now

I kinda understand not cornering umar this weekend since he’s still coming up, but islam fighting for p4p #1. Figured khabib would want to be there

 

[spiderjericho]

So does he not have EagleFC too?

 

[313sole]

How much is Khabib stepping away going to impact the fight with Volkanovski?

A good corner can play a huge part.

 

[spiderjericho]

I’m not sure. I’m sure Khabib has given advice and a possible game plan to his child hood friend. But is he going to be present during camp? Probably not.

I’m just curious if this is 100% no longer interested in pursuing income from MMA, eg fighting, coaching, and his league? He signed Kevin Lee and Rashad to contracts. And he probably had up and comers from Dagestan as well.
