Russian Rapper and MMA Fighter Dmitriy Kuznetsov Calls Out & Clowns on Khabib

DC thinks he's one of the greatest fighters.

That's kinda funny to me. He's a tier below, at LEAST a tier below.

Anyone disagree?

This guy got his shot pushed in by Jon Jones twice. Literally almost got finished by no camp Anderson at LHW.

I don't think there's any chance that...

What do y'all think of this?

KZ and Cerrone Only Fighters Who Don't Turn Down Fights According to Sean Shelby

Sean Shelby apparently told KZ the only two fighters in the UFC who accept whatever fight is given to them are KZ and Cerrone. This discussion came up in KZ's most recent YouTube video. In the video, KZ talks about when he was getting into the UFC, it was a different culture than it is now. KZ states it is so hard to get into the UFC now, most amateur fighters will only take fights against fighters with losing records in order to increase their odds of winning. He said this is the norm...

Fighters that you regret missing their prime:

I like Sherdog. I like most of the jokes/memes that go around. Some are pretty funny, other witty, others are terrible but somehow become OK after 5 guys say the same thing.

All that to say, we have some true hardcore, oldschool fans on this site. I know more about MMA than a large majority of my friends, and realize that my knowledge is pretty lacking in some years and a few dudes here know their shit.

With that being said, a few guys here, myself included, havent seen all of the...

Does Volkanovski hold the best Back to Back wins in MMA history??

Aldo and Max back to back is impressive. Unanimous GOATS of the division under your belt holds up with the best in MMA history.

Thoughts?

Most Ripped Female MMA Fighters

The title says it all.
I put Tecia Torres, Claudia Gadelha, Cris Cyborg, Holly Holm, Rin Nakai, Aleksandra Albu, and Gabi Garcia. Honestly, I had a big dilemma between Tecia and Weili, Andrade, and some other fighters. But these are my picks. It's always great to watch muscular women trading shots inside the cage.
