[@waalex11]

Weird coincidence that these past years I've burned out from UFC and how the cards and overall organization is less consistent. Too many pullouts, messy divisions from double champs, weak cards, few stars, bad matchups, etc. There's a decent amount of great things, but it isn't as incredible as it was entertainment-wise from the fighters and performances like a few years ago. I only watch some finishes and some worthwhile favorite fighters on occasion, even though I used to watch every card and fight for years before, including interviews, etc. Meanwhile, oddly enough, the UFC is expanding more than ever, but... it's not exactly great. Talent-wise, matchup and division-wise at least.

[@Born-Again512]

In regards to the 2nd fight, MEDIA had it 12 Grasso & 11 Shevchenko. So saying she should've won is just wrong

Seems like UFC is really pushing SUGA (headlining the sphere) to compensate for the aging out stars we currently have ie: mcgregor, Izzy, Poatan, JBJ etc. If u look at the feedback the fans aren’t really behind O’Malley as much as the company promotes it as. He’s definitely gotta fan base but it’s not what is being presented.

No offense, but Brian ruined Luke's epic rant and seemed genuinely irritated at Luke bringing pure epic energy. Luke is better suited with Brendan Schaub, Adams Catteral or Laura Sanko.

Its crazy how Valentina is scared of Grasso standup and tries to take her down considering that Valentina is a kickboxer and everyone else is scared of her standup!

[@1lpanddbz]

Val’s ko over jessica eye is actually the only knockdown of her entire career. I don’t think anyone’s scared of her considering she can’t hurt anyone, she’s just technically sound and is good at outpointing

[@banehthistle7709]

She's got at least 100 thai fights in IFMA alone and is a multiple time gold medalist. Dominant as there ever was. She's old though. Like 200 fights deep into her career at least facing a fast, physical and young opponent

[@MilkyWayGalaxyy]

@@banehthistle7709 Exactly 💯 my point. So how good is Grasso to make Valentina constantly go for a take down😳 But Valentina won the 2nd fight and got robbed. Let's hope the rightful winner gets the belt in this fight. But these two are the best at 125 by far so they will be going back and forth until Valentina retires or moves up.

[@lukeparsons583]

There’s no dumber MMA fans than the ones that think that fighters that choose to grapple because they have an advantage in that area is because they’re “scared” of the standup. Tell me you’ve never trained without telling me

These guys are so obviously biased towards Brady it’s ridiculous. They have lost the ability to analyze Sean Brady honestly because they did an interview with him once on the couch. Sean Brady went five rounds with a washed Gilbert. Jack Della just finish Gilbert in less than three rounds. Sean Brady is also a decision fighter and the ufc notoriously doesn’t give decision fighters title shots. Sean Brady isnt at the same level as Ian Garry or Shavkat or Jack Della, Sean Brady is clearly behind all three of those guys in the line for a title shot, if he ever gets one.

So if Mike Bell scored it 48-47 Grasso, would there be any controversy or even another rematch happening?

[@activeunsub]

If Grasso 'd won, she'd be 2-0 & there'd be no trilogy, but the controversy wasn't over scoring 48-47 for either lady, bc that would hv bn an acceptable scorecard in a close competitive fight. R5 scoring created the controversy, which led to the draw & consequently the trilogy. Mike Bell scored R5 10-8 Grasso & the general consensus was that it wasn't a 10-8 & if he'd scored it 10-9 Grasso as most people saw it, then Val would hv won on the scorecards, instead of a draw. That's why most people don't hv issue with the trilogy.

[@MoneyMauricio89]

Why do Loog & BC keep trying to sneak in David Morrell as a major opponent people wanted to see Canelo fight instead? Obviously, David Benavidez is the fight everybody wants, but Morrell and Edgar Berlanga are a wash as far as interesting matchups. Berlanga at least brings the Puerto Rican audience. Morrell just has a secondary WBA belt at 168, and he moved up at Light Heavyweight last month anyway on the Crawford vs. Madrimov undercard.
