The MMA thread

Jon Jones is an interesting case study on how to consume sports-as-entertainment when you are a casual fan at best of a sport in which the GOAT is someone that you can't stand.

I've always had complex feelings about the UFC: it's basically the negative inverse of the WNBA, both in terms of its athletes, and the fanbase it openly courts.
 
Man, it’s weird hearing Daniel Cormier be showering Jon Jones with all this praise.

He basically forced him to.

Stipe looked like his dog died from the moment he walked out. He still gave a solid effort but he looked like he didn't want to be there.
