    The only possible fight left would be the complete the trilogy with Nate.

    I'm happy and didn't pay for it. Go figure, LOL.

    I mean the 5 second eating the canvas defeat at the hands of Masvidal aside, even Askren could probably beat the holy hell out of Jake Paul.

    Askren is the far better fighter, but he's also considerably smaller, and older, and has suffered multiple ko's iirc. Cowardly matchup for Paul imo, hope he gets rocked. He picked Askren because he needs a ****-talking heel to promote his fights for him, too much of a square to do it himself.

    Especially since not too many people batted much of an eye over him calling out McGregor.

    In the past, Bellator tried to compete with UFC by putting on tournaments. They were good programming, but I think the only way to really grow a promotion right now is to improve production values like Pride and Strikeforce used to, it's the one thing UFC still doesn't do very well.

    *sighs* *facepalm* If I were Ariel I'd have tried to ask Dana have asked "Didn't you call her arrogant when trying to get her to fight Rousey once upon a time?"

    Knowing Dana, he most likely thinks he can Gina to fight really cheap
    and make some quick bucks from MAGAers. Sadly it could work.

    I seriously doubt she will fight again, and if she does, it probably won't be in the UFC. Fighters, like wrestlers, usually don't get back in the ring once they make it to Hollywood. Bisping is the only exception that comes to mind. But Dana probably wants her for promotional stuff, which she would probably oblige.

    Ha. I thought this was an actual martial arts thread, I am mistaken it appears it’s about MMA and UFC.

    While a lot of what we talk about is MMA and UFC, feel free to discuss actual Martial Arts, including your experience.

    I started competing at that the age of 12, I’ve been competing in two different disciplines throughout the years on the junior and senior circuits in the women’s division I am proficient in (Judo & BJJ) while most girls went to dance at a young age. I learned gymnastics and martial arts

    Yes. Unfortunately right now I’m keeping myself out of tournaments until at least the summer of 2021, the competition although rigorous and extremely engaging is very fun and I have many friends that compete as well. Right now tho I’m doing a lot of personal training for the next belt levels and sparing with my friends in my fathers dojo

    Makes sense Overeem is on big money 850k per fight just to show so Dana wanted that gone

    He’s probably still got some fights left if he wants them in bellator or one/rizin probably better he hangs them up though

    Junior is absolutely cooked if he was steak he’d be charcoal

    Interesting ppv this weekend I’m hoping that Izzy gets knocked out

    Bellator will absolutely want Overeem. Junior really does need to hang 'em up.

    Maybe you'll be okay with him simply losing by unanimous decision?

    The Lioness continues to prove her dominance.

    He handled the loss well actually just found him very cringe leading up to the fight. But I definitely have a higher opinion of him now
