Two fan heroes emerged in recent years. One was UFC welterweight champion Kamaru Usman and the other was lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov. Usman’s heroic deed was a technical knockout of trash talking Colby Covington and allegedly breaking the Trump favorite’s jaw in the process. The racist things Covington said like calling Brazilians ‘filthy animals’ and … Read more
If this happens we should riot. The only fight that makes sense for lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov right now, the only one, is former champion Tony Ferguson. ‘El Cucuy’ is on an amazing 12 fight win streak and it just so happens that Khabib just equaled that number last Saturday by submitting Dustin Poirier at … Read more

Dana White has always been a good sport. After saying that I probably should have used the term ‘rarely’ instead of ‘always’. When it comes to fighters and managers saying stupid things he seems genuinely amused at times.
