🗣️Canelo's mind wasn't right before the Crawford loss. His body wasn't right in the ring either, he said
In my latest @uncrownedcombat, I look at whether war has affected his headspace, if he's as young as he feels, & if destiny remains in his own hands

A piece of wrestling history just sold for a staggering $716,750, courtesy of @HeyHeyItsConrad, and it got me thinking...
If you could own any single piece of combat sports memorabilia in the world, what would it be?
MMA, boxing, pro wrestling, anything goes.
Let's hear it.

Is there a bigger American vs. American matchup in the UFC right now than Sean O'Malley vs. Payton Talbott?
I'm genuinely struggling to think of one. And if O'Malley recaptures the belt, that obviously makes it that much bigger.
Both in their prime. The personality dynamic between them is fascinating. I can't help but think about how much buzz it would generate.

“Go back to this time last year when Alex Pereira had just knocked out Magomed Ankalaev. He's only had one fight since then, and it was when he was going for greatness against Ciryl Gane at the White House.
Now that he's lost, it feels like all this goodwill is gone.
I bet if you went back and looked at the way the fans felt about Volkanovski after getting knocked out by Ilia Topuria in February 2024, he didn't have the same goodwill he's got right now. I feel certain of that.”

The retirement angle is pretty brilliant on Alexander Volkanovski's part. Otherwise, I'm not sure he'd have much of a chance of getting a lightweight title fight, despite what he's accomplished at this point.

Moicano is the freaking best. Legit made me LOL
(Also, I love how he always refers to Nolan as TomNolan, one word)
Islam: Too many contenders
Volk: Not enough divisions!
15 years ago today.
What a time.
The fight wasn’t the best, but this era certainly was.

Alexander Volkov explains why he showed up to the UFC 333 presser, and is still convinced Dana White did not recognize him:
"I saw they didn't have me on the press conference again, the same as the last three fights. I don't know why.
I just went through the regular gates like a regular fan... I had some questions for the fighters and Dana White.
Of course he didn't recognize me... I'm not even sure he can remember my name, and I bet every time he hears my name, he thinks they're talking about Alexander Volkanovski.
But to talk seriously, he still didn't have an answer to my question. I'm asking, what should I do? What am I supposed to do to get a title fight? And they don't have an answer."
