You: Ngannou will beat Gane bc he's a beast
Me (lightly): Points out Gane just fought a (black) "beast"
You: Oddly melts down and continues to miss the obvious link

Different level of beast, imo. Did you confuse "African Beast" with "Black Beast" or did I? Doesn't matter really. I was worried a bit about the possible racial implications it at first then thought you dinged me on it. But beast is just too standard to be taken that way.

Wasn't confused, I was playing on your initial apprehension with it all fitting conveniently.

Would like to see Cannonier and Costa/Vettori winner since Izzy/Whitaker isn't happening anytime soon

I don't see a boxing thread anywhere. Does anybody have a source for the odds of the two Maskaev versus Rahman heavyweight fights about 20 years ago, or any memory of approximated odds?

It's about a principle I love in sports where a big upset happens, and then in the rematch it happens again ... revealing that it probably really wasn't an upset at all. And I wasn't familiar with this example of it till something I saw about it last night.

Bellator Moscow just starting on the BBC.

Fedor back again, and also Khabib's cousin, Usman Nurmagomedov, in action.

with the pace of the forum these days it's pretty much always on the first page, as it is right now

Anyone think Colby has a chance?

I could see him pushing the pace and making eking out 3 rounds on volume, that is about it for pathways. Power difference between him/Usman is massive.

So many of the big names are retired/semi-retired/shelved right now, this feels like the first big UFC fight in forever

Na I think Usman has improved further since the first fight and will take this one as well.

So pumped for Gaethje vs Chandler

Weili had a terrible game plan, she was too scared of Rose's standup when she's the one with more power, the fluke ko really messed her up.

Colby came pretty close to winning I thought, just needed 1 more rd. That is pretty close vs Usman. He started too slow but it seemed like he was outlanding him and buckling him more over the final few rounds.

I had a glorious night. Hit my biggest ever gambling win for a single day. Fights were wild and exciting as well.

Dana white is delusional to think usman is the goat welterweight and up there with Jones and Cormier …..

He just confirm Covington would be the champion if not for usman and it’s close ?

Taking that logic , Covington is as good as gsp ?
Wtf ….

Khabib should come back at 170 …

Usman is the goat welterweight

GSP fought 1 guy that had the combination of wrestling/standup to compete with him and he lost. Coming back to fight Bisping instead of Woodley wasn't great either. He's a legend but going Usman over him for top WW ever. Fought way tougher comp and didn't get a bunch of easy LnP wins.

He beat Covington , burns , dos Anjos and woodley and that is your goat …?
Ok….
Those guys are all legend right ….?

Saying usman the goat means all those guys right after him you rank them over bj pen , Matt Hughes , and probably gsp too ?


You take a guy like Jake shield who did beat woodley , maia, lawler , Dan Henderson and jake shield wasn’t even his hardest opponent to gsp …

Anyway ….
Your prerequisite seem pretty low to me .
