I can't hate or dislike Lauren Murphy. She really is a great fighter and deserves that shot.........That being said the odds are +850 for Murphy right now and Schevchenko -1500 and Schevchenko doesn't take her opponents' lightly......Schevchenko by 1st round KO
Deadwrong: Diaz has "technically" been "finished" three times in his career: Hermes Franca (sub), your good buddy, Josh Thompson (TKO, referee stoppage and/or corner stoppage; Nick threw in the towel) and Jorge Masvidal (TKO, doctor stoppage, cut).
In the thumbnail it looks like Lauren Murphy has a soul patch on her chin. Lmfao
I remember at time where Nick & Nate Diaz were not universally loved, in fact I’d say it was the exact opposite. There were a contingent of hard core fans who absolutely loved them, and still do because they can see right through the BS “just thugs” misdirection, and know the incredible skills they possess. Today they get a lot of the recognition they deserve, but it was not like this in the past. The Diaz brothers are the Rage Against the Machine of MMA.
Conner Burks has amazing insight. Keep having him do a betting segment on the Wednesday show!

Helwani, you keep talking about how it bothers you that mma doesn’t recognize the greats. While that’s true, it’s also folks in the media (yourself included) that should take some blame. By highlighting jokers like Paul and other hype trains, you take away coverage from those more deserving and the greats

Rakic 10 months ago: "I heard a guy from czech republic wants to fight me ... I don‘t look back my eyes are on the belt, maybe in the future i will let you test yourself against me". You cannot be surprised that Jiri ignores you being offered his own title shot after this kind of talk.
Also I'd love if the fight nights stayed in the apex, I love the intimate feeling it gives to the fights

Ariel, speaking of getting KOd before a fight. You should look up Robert Garcia’s (boxing coach) take on fighters clearing medicals.
My predictions: Andrade by KO; Rozenstruik by TKO or Blaydes by decision; Diaz by TKO; Schevchenko by 1st round KO; Ortega by sub or Volk by devastating KO

Shout out to the Randleman family. Kevin was a true monster. The double knees, the suplex on Fedor, the knockout of Crocop, Sakuraba coming out dressed as Mario because the Japanese fans had started calling Kevin Donkey Kong because of the way he would leap in the air before his fights. A true icon. UFC champ and had the title taken off him in maybe the worst decision in MMA history. A truly interesting career deserving of the Hall
