No matter how many times EA calls finally finishing an incomplete game "free", we aren't going to agree

[@gentlemandemon]

look, I don't want to be in a position where I'm defending EA, but considering the development cycle for a video game, they can't exactly predict who's going to be in the top 15 after 4 years of making a videogame. Updating the game to add relevant fighters/stats isn't exactly scummy. great, now I need a shower

[@dxbbred]

@@gentlemandemon how about using the exact same career mode as the previous game and calling it unique

[@gentlemandemon]

@@dxbbred less merited. I've done all the mild defense of EA that I intend to do this year, I'm not going to bat for them lol

[@dxbbred]

@@gentlemandemon that's completely fair I would've struggled to achieve what you have done for them

[@rickybobby38]

​@@dxbbred I guess they're highlighting the fact the update is free, because it's a natural assumption for them to charge for all manner of minor updates these days (I haven't been near a EA title in literal decades - but recall the yearly annoyance whenever the next FIFA/Madden/NHL/NBA game dropped & it was nothing more than a digital coat of paint)

[@SuperMontsta]

​@@FHRiley-yk9byOnly people newer to watching MMA would think the Diaz brothers were top tier talent in the UFC. "I saw him beat McGregor once". Okay there casual. You probably thunk Nate is the better fighter too.

[@starseeddeluxe]

Just an idea, but I think this channel should cover CURRENT fight news and CURRENT stories. I love this channel, it's such a great production, and you guys have great broadcast voices. It's just difficult to care about old nostalgia in MMA, unless you're making a historical documentary. I think finding a way to cover current fighters would be more interesting. How about finding information about Alex Pereira's cars and hobbies? Surely that would be something fans would want to see.

Dana: Well in this economy it's just a reality that the money can only go so far... (Proceeds to give half a million dollars to some TikTok moron you've never heard of.)

[@gentlemandemon]

5:40 now that I think about it, Diaz had a good point about making a 165 lbs belt. Dana insists on having a belt on every PPV, so it would give them more options. It'd also help pull talent from the heavier lightweights and the lighter welterweights, let those two incredibly stacked divisions have a little more breathing room.

[@atomicpunk2360]

At that point, make WW 175 as well

[@gentlemandemon]

@@atomicpunk2360 that's certainly a possibility. it's all just hypothetical, I'm sure Dana's not going to go for it any time soon

[@passionofthechip2255]

There once was a fighter named Tre Tellingman, the guy fought his way to being a top contender and a title shot, all while fighting with one pectoral muscle his entire career. Whenever I hear about fighters dropping out of fights without a severe injury, I can’t but help think of good old one tit Tre.

I’ll never understand why people like the diaz bros so much when they are the kings of excuses.

This video reminds me why i love sport. There is no corny trash talk, there is no creating of an artificial drama for selling an ongoing fight, people don't market themselves as a brands and etc. There are just poeple who want to fight and love what they're doing. They are putting their health, status as the best in the game and hard-earned position at the top on the line in such circumstances in which they can lose everything and never reach again such heights as fighters, and have little to win. They are not obliged to do such things and despite this, they are choosing to step up. Massive admiration for those fighters who threat the sport and their opponents with love and respect.

[@greenirez2798]

Glad Poatan is UFCs next big star, this man deserves it. Can't wait for the Jiri rematch, should be good.

[@TuntunGamer]

Man, I really wish the UFC would run a grand prix torunament. Not sure how it would work in terms of licencing. I guess they would need to get it approved first in USA? Maybe Nevada. If they did add a 165 weight class, a tournament night would absolutely kill it in box office.

Disagree with the Volk one. Volk definitely stepped up but I don't think the card needed saving. Abu Dhabi will watch Islam fight anyone and Gamrot was already there as the backup fighter (not to mention Chimaev vs Usman was still on). It would've been a good card without him, which makes the KO more tragic because he really didn't need to be there.

McGregor pulled out for a broken pinky toe and in steps poatan with a broken toe no one sees the irony in this .

[@aesop2733]

It's possible Connor is being a baby but injuries aren't all equal. Even an identical injury can be less or worse depending on the person. Maybe his foot and ankle is messed up too and that's how he broke his toe, like from stumbling around drunk. Whereas with Pereira I'd assume he broke that throwing kicks so it could just be the toe itself. I broke my pinky toe once but I sprained my foot up pretty bad too, I couldn't walk worth a damn for quite a while but if you just looked at my foot you wouldn't have thought it looked like much
