La mejor finalización en la historia del UFC. Decirle al rival, y no cualquier rival sino Justin Gaethje, que vaya al centro a intercambiar en una pelea que tienes ganada y lo doblas. Irreal.
This would be a horrible look. Mexican fans will not appreciate a Spanish fighter HEADLINING THE MEXICAN INDEPENDENCE DAY CARD. DO I NEED TO TELL THEM WHO MEXICO PROCLAIMED INDEPENDENCE FROM??????
A great humble, furious Mexican boxer. Couldn’t be happier for him, a big stage again and he took advantage by whooping a great boxer in Rolly. Hope he gets great fights, big stages and large purses. Deserves everything.

After a month away from Social Media, Brandon Moreno has posted a video on Instagram in Spanish. He is going to take time off from MMA, yet not retiring. Thread on what he speaks about on the video:
This of course being MMA became extremely racist and very besides the point of an athlete who represents Spain headlining what the UFC announced as “Noche UFC 2” and a celebration of Mexican combat sports heritage on Mexican Independence Day. ✌🏽.
This feels like one of those “injured fighter comes back too soon, gets ko’d, takes fight against power opponent to prove it was a fluke, gets ko’d again” type of fights.
Very excited to share that starting today I’m joining the
@beINSPORTSUSA
team as host and play-by-play on their English soccer broadcasts. You’ll still see me on

DING DING DING. Netflix failed horribly at streaming live in April 2023 with their Love is Blind reunion. Had a good proof of concept with the F1 golf tournament in Vegas. The fight is what it is, but by far the biggest news is Netflix going into live sports and combat sports.
I’m honestly a bit surprised at the sour reactions. I’m not expecting dedicated combat sports fans to be enticed by the matchup, but if this means Netflix - far and away the biggest global streaming service - gets into combat sports, that’s an enormous boost to their fortunes.
The amount of racist messages I got for this tweet, particularly from Spanish fans, including images of the conquest of Mexico, a tactic of racist fascist party VOX is unfortunately par for the course for X and MMA. Those two attract the worse worldwide.

Entire video of the Garfield fight in Spain. Guy allegedly abused (we don’t know if verbally or physically) his wife and daughter. Another man asks him to stop. Abuser taunts him into fighting. Plot twist: man that asked him to stop is a pro boxer.
Encontré el programa de UFC 180, primer show de UFC en México. Lo regalamos o qué / Found the program for UFC 180, first Mexico UFC show. Might just give it away.

Random dude with random picture: They're not obligated. Yet, they announced that event will once again be "Noche UFC" which is why it was announced officially in Mexico. They literally said they're doing this.
New season of the Korean show “Physical 100” is out on Netflix. First season had good ol’ Sexyama in it. This one has UFC veteran “Stun Gun” Dong Hyun Kim who from what I understand is now a TV personality and was very much introduced as the main guy of the season.
Wait so I worked at home, got called in to call a boxing event because a coworker fell ill, did a whole entire 3 hour broadcast, drove home AND JOSHUA AND NGANNOU HAVENT WALKED OUT?
For MMA people: David Taylor beat Bo Nickal for the Tokyo spot at 86kg, 4-0, 6-0. He went on to win the gold. Aaron is a beast though, U23 World Champ, US Champ, 4x Big Ten and Div I champ but Taylor beat him 6-0, 5-4 last year to get USAs spot for Worlds.

La verdad? Estamos fatal. Ahora, Claudia va a ganar caminando, Maynez va a hacer menos oso de lo que piensan y lo de Xochitl es una tragedia, irreal que en 6 años esta fue su respuesta. No soy fan de Sheinbaum, pero me queda claro que siguen sin entender porque gana Morena.
Primer imporante rediseño en más de una década del guante del UFC, con ediciones especiales para cada peldaño, rojo para Road to the UFC y más, Azul para DWCS, Negro con logo de TUF, oscuro con logo UFC para peleas normales y dorado para peleas de campeonato. Debutan en UFC 302.
As I reported yesterday, champ Jesús Pinedo will miss the 2024 season due to the back injury that made him pull out of the Pitbull fight last month. His team says that they will focus on rehab and healing before considering a comeback, especially at just 27 years of age.

She’s now the first female ring announcer in UFC history.
Se pueden quejar hasta el cielo de Morena onSheinbaum. Pero yo también me quejaría de que en 6 años el “gran trabajo” de LOS TRES partidos de oposición derivo en la paupérrima candidatura de Xochitl Galvez. Regalaron la elección.
1) What Jamie tweeted is just plain ignorant. 2) Laura is the best analyst the UFC has, she not only knows what she’s talking about, she knows how to do TV. I’ve done pxp for over 350 MMA show, it’d be an honor to work with someone as good as her.
@jamievarner
you and I actually fought on the same card in 2011 for Titan FC. We warmed up next to each other in the basement of the Memorial Hall building in KCK. My best friend braided your hair because you couldn’t find anyone to do it. I remember thinking how cool it was at
Too bad seeing Benitez finish out his deal with a loss. When the Latin American development programs started at Jackson's in 2013 he was Shelby's favorite. Lost a local fight before TUF Latin America and never got his mojo back, if this is it he'll be 7-8 in the UFC.

No puedo estar más feliz. Increíble lo de Pitbull Cruz en la pelea en la que había que lucirse ante un gran boxeador como Rolly Romero. Dominio total, cinturón y de nuevo acceso a peleas de alto perfil y dinero. Merecidísimo.

The first two paragraphs BloodyElbow's new owners press release basically say

Since the cat appears to be out of the bag, if anyone needs an editor/writer/podcast host with a decade of combat sports coverage experience, I’m around.
Así nomás. Munguía demuestra, se ve bien, Canelo domina y gana amplio y los llorones seguirán llorando y diciendo que robaron la pelea y que Canelo no es nada.
Fight regulated by a public body yet press, or at least a pool reporter, is allowed to witness that everything is on the up and up. Unreal boxing still does this.
BREAKING: The closed door real weigh-in is happening now. Media wrongly not allowed to attend so we play games. Per source in the room: Canelo Alvarez 166.8 pounds, Jaime Munguia 167.4 (for Alvarez’s undisputed super middleweight title).

When they were putting Vaseline on Pereira, Aspinall looked at him like he knew they would eventually fight. I guess they are now. That’s the fight for me.

My dude is literally saying he's avoiding Aspinall, for whatever reason, but he is. There's 2 belts because YOU got injured. 2 belts because YOU've fought once in 4 years. If you're thinking "dollar signs, legacy" then don't unify, drop the belt, fight whoever, make your money.

Ay Charles...has hecho esto 100 años y haces esto? 100% illegal la patada, la rodilla claramente está en la lona, aunque la gente que no tenga idea esté abucheando.

Estos son los fans que dan pena ajena y desde aquí con esto no merece o debe estar en un estadio. ¿A eso fuiste? ¿A aventar una cerveza a los 10 minutos? ¿A hacer drama? ¿A hacer puchero? ¿A hacer el oso de tu vida y que el internet se mofe de ti?
This Mexican fan is down bad from the USA game. Thrown out after 10 mins from his front row seat, maybe it was for the best he didn’t have to watch the rest?
Great to see this is policed by stadium staff though. Near impossible when it comes in big waves
Pues Jake Paul vuelve a ganar. Va a hacer su show en el Texas Stadium pero por sobre todo, se trae al streamer más grande del mundo no solo a los deportes, a los deportes de combate:

Gabriel used to do this guilly grip all the time, especially in the Mexican circuit. Have no idea where he got it from as none of the Entram guys where he trained at the time did it. He calls it “La Mogglyña”.
In the prelims of UFC 180: Werdum vs. Hunt, Gabriel "Moggly" Benitez faced off against Humberto Brown. Gabriel nailed Humberto with this insane guillotine choke early in the third round.

I don’t necessarily blame the younger generation of influencer-media types for trying what we might call unconventional ways of getting attention. I don’t have to like it, but it’s what the environment rewards. Just don’t complain when you get that attention, though.

Mi papá fue el Team Manager de ese Fernandez Racing de 2004, muy nostálgico ver este diseño. Un equipo que se cambió tarde de CART a IRL y aún así ganó 3 carreras con Adrián que quedó 5to en el campeonato y ganaron ROTY con Kosuke Matsura.
Sean Strickland's latest attack on gay people is beyond the pale. It isn't free speech, it's flat-out cruelty with the intention to harm. He is intending to spread and foster hate.
When the hell are UFC and ESPN going to do something about this maniac?
DC not knowing the rules, or how reffing works specifically, as the
#1
analyst for the UFC, is nothing new. Herb Dean stopped the action, albeit briefly, to ask the fighter if he's OK. Fighter said he was OK, he's not visibly in bad shape, fight carried on. Them's the rules. STOP
Mexican fighter Edgar Escarrega, from Ensenada, Baja California, is Paul Hughes’ new opponent. On a 6 win streak is 12-3-1 with 1 loss coming early in his career and another to UFC’s Rafa García. Had a difficult time finding tough opponents in Mexico, needed a chance like this.
