OT: WWE/MMA/Boxing Thread

So, time to ruffle some feathers. McGregor hasn't joined the USADA testing pool and therefore, is ineligible to return to competition in 2023.

However, The Red Faced Goof says:



My man Luke Thomas had this to say.

Absolute legend Robbie Lawler going out with a spectacular KO and class by the UFC playing that tribute while in the ring

 

[GGpX]

UFC 290 has been absolutely phenomenal.

Card of the year and the main event hasn't started yet.

 

[Deckie007]

What a fight
This card has been insane

[GGpX]

What a card.

Francis won. Good on him.

Hey, dear UFC fighters... Wakey wakey, eggs n bacey... Might want to unionize.

Ennis may be the best p4p right now. Can’t wait to see him vs Crawford or Spence.

Fury carries this to a UD to inflate the ppv buys. It will be fun to watch but we already know the outcome

Yup, but Francis is getting paid and we should be happy for him.

I can't wait for the UFC to try to steal headlines or even try counter program against this.

I think he's the short discussion for best boxer on the planet right now, he just needs to prove it.

I know they'll never do it right away because of the rematch clause, but Ennis against the winner of Spence/Crawford would be a fucking great fight.

If they need to give Ennis a fight to keep him busy, I'd like him to fight the winner of Ugas - Thurman, assuming that fight is happening in late August.

Ngannou Vs Tyson Fury set for October 28th….rematch clause included in the event Francis wins.

 

[MindzEye]

Not too many humans make Ngannou look small, but Fury is one of them.

 

[GGpX]

Best week of fights this year.

Tuesday morning, Inoue-Fulton.
Saturday, UFC 291 with the two kings of violence headlining, and Spence-Crawford fighting on the same night with a half decent main card for a boxing card.
Sunday, Rizin - Bellator co-promotion.

Should be fun!

What’s everyone’s current set up for ‘discount’ watching PPV’s?

 

[Deckie007]

IPTV
Pretty much all the services I've used have the ability to watch them.

 

[soco22]

Yeh, also iptv here too. Game changer

Spoilers from this morning's fight.

Spoiler: Spoilers

Inoue fucked Fulton up pretty badly.

I thought Naoya Inoue was going to win, but I didn't think it'd be a lopsided victory. I don't think Fulton won a single round.

Some Most fighters have nicknames, but the vast majority of the time, it's nonsense. How many fucking people can have the nickname "Pitbull" before someone tells 'em how fucking stupid they sound? But then you have Naoya Inoue, nicknamed The Monster. Yeah, dude. This guy's a real life, motherfucking monster.



Inoue has generational power for someone that small. Absolutely incredible.

Tonight's the night. Haven't been this excited for a night of fights in a while.
