Next year Ben and Khabib should both come out of retirement and give the world the wrestling match they want

By:

TimmyRiggins When: 31 Mar 21 21:27

Lol, more likely I get the call for the next Mayweather Exhibition

By:

Can Khabib handle The Funk?

See Jon Jones wanting $8-10m to fight Francis.

I presume that's not his fight pay, as that's double what Conor got for the 2nd fight with Dustin

By:

It's alot of smoke and mirrors with the money side of things in the UFC. how much did Conor get for fighting Cerrone?

By:

TimmyRiggins When: 01 Apr 21 02:03

Not sure without checking, but he prob came out with ~15-20 with his points etc.

From memory, they have to disclose the fighter salaries to the NSAC, but think the points and stuff I think is kept private.

Jones knows he's not a sell like Conor, so is obv pushing for a gtd fee.

By:

wisewords When: 01 Apr 21 03:10

He says he wants "Diante Wilder money". lol. "Diante"

By:

TimmyRiggins When: 01 Apr 21 16:23

He might get what Diante got before he fought Fury

Doesn't held that Jonny Bones has brothers who play NFL and get PAID

By:

TimmyRiggins When: 02 Apr 21 19:03

Should have kept playing football if he wanted NFL money, lol

Jake Paul or Ben Askren, TR?

By:

TimmyRiggins When: 15 Apr 21 23:29

Think I'm going to bet Ben, but nothing crazy.

Only been swung around this last week, after watching Ben on Logan's podcast, and a few other interviews.

Makes a lot of good points, regarding Jake. He slapped up another youtuber, and a basketball player, who was fit, but looked like he had never thrown a punch in his life.

Ben might not be a boxer, but he has years and years of combat sports experience.

Just a case of how old he's gotten in the last 18m.

By:

wisewords When: 16 Apr 21 00:37

Got a nagging feeling we'll see the final bell and Jake Paul will get the nod

By:

TimmyRiggins When: 16 Apr 21 01:23

Just looked and see it's 8 rounds.

Conceivable Jake has improved as much as Zab Judah was suggesting.

By:

wisewords When: 16 Apr 21 12:44

If it was close but looked like Ben had outworked him, I think they'd still give it to Jake

By:

wisewords When: 16 Apr 21 12:44

any updates on a Nick Diaz UFC return, TR?

By:

TimmyRiggins When: 16 Apr 21 15:13

Probably on the same card as BJ Penn's next fight

By:

wisewords When: 16 Apr 21 16:31

never

By:

razz When: 17 Apr 21 05:23

the draw is still crazy high on askren vs paul.. 25 + on the exchange still

By:

wisewords When: 17 Apr 21 15:51

what do you think it should be razz?

not that it matters now lol but i thought it should of been like 12/1 area given it that it was scheduled for 8 rounds and all the unknowns. had a good freeroll on it shame it looked more like 50/1 in hindsight, ahh well paul paid out anyway.

By:

wisewords When: 18 Apr 21 15:30

ref saved Askren for a brutal stoppage, was only going one way

By:

TimmyRiggins When: 18 Apr 21 19:10

Yeah, think that's 100%, wisewords.

Only watched it today, as I've been rough all weekend.

Think last night might actually work out worse for Jake, than it does him any good.

By:

wisewords When: 18 Apr 21 21:21

I watched it this morning. I think last night was amazing for Jake short term. Huge hype and exposure. The fact he won so easily though means there will be calls for much tougher opponents, which could accelerate the process of him coming unstuck

By:

wisewords When: 18 Apr 21 21:23

Did Dana White actually make a bet with Snoop Dogg and/or Jake? or was that all just hot air and bluster? Snoop Dogg kept shouting about a bet with Dana during the broadcast

By:

TimmyRiggins When: 18 Apr 21 23:38

Dana is a sbig gambler, but I'd be very shocked if he did.

If I remember correctly, he called them stupid/dummies when they suggested he bet with them, when he could get over evens with the bookies.

By:

sofaking When: 19 Apr 21 05:11

Dana surely has money to burn if he bet on "Askrew" for $2m. Ring announcer didn't even getting Askren's name right. Anyone see the Whittaker fight? Be interesting to see him against Adesanya again.

By:

wisewords When: 19 Apr 21 13:18

Funkyyyyyyyyyy, Bennn Askewwwwwwwwwwwwww

He's closer to half a billion than 100 million, I'd say.

By:

Seems Dana didn't take the bet. Snoop Dogg was shouting about nothing

By:

wisewords When: 22 Apr 21 23:01

your thoughts on Usman v Masvidal 2 and Weili v Rose this weekend, TR?

Usman going to wrestle/clinch Jorge for 5 rounds again? so another snoozer and Usman by decision?

I think Weili is going to beat Rose, but I hope I'm wrong..

Dana is a massive gambler, and I believe he is actually banned from the Palms, which is the reason they stopped holding UFC events there.

No way he's backing a 6/4 shot at even money, just for clout.

He'd have done it if the prices were the other way around with no shame, obviously. Not his fault if snoop is too whacked out on his sticky-icky icky to know what time it is

By:

TimmyRiggins When: 22 Apr 21 23:35

I think Usman is going to beat the brakes off him. Jorge is a tough man, but this isn't backyard brawls, and Usman is now up there with GSP, for me.

I think he's going to try and do what he did to Colby, but will mix in some ground and pound. He's a much better striker than he was first time around, having moved in with Wittman.

Rose is so talented, but it's hard to know what you're going to see, as she's so 'out there' mentally. Weili always turns up, and hard not to see her just busting Rose up.

Valentina will outpoint Andrade, and maybe stop/submit her late, I think.

By:

wisewords When: 23 Apr 21 00:03

Usman's fight with Colby was entertaining, but his fight with Jorge was a snoozefest. I hope it's better this time around.

I think Valentina will stop Andrade. I really enjoy Valentinas fights, she's got skills

By:

TimmyRiggins When: 23 Apr 21 01:11

Yeah, for sure. Best fight I've ever seen live, even though it made the bird I took ill

I do as well, not sure Andrade has got the tank to go 5 with someone of Valentina's calibre.

I really hope they can get Valentina to go up and fight Nunes again at 135.

By:

sofaking When: 25 Apr 21 03:46

Oh ****.

By:

sofaking When: 25 Apr 21 03:49

Don't think I xan watch the rest of the card after that.

By:

sofaking When: 25 Apr 21 03:54

Ok, I've recovered. Bring it on.

By:

wisewords When: 25 Apr 21 03:55

I know Weidman is pretty injury-prone these days but that takes it to a whole other level. that was sickening

By:

sofaking When: 25 Apr 21 03:56

Looks like he didn't realise it was snapped in half till he tried to walk on it.
