Khabib & Co. Talkin’ Crazy Talk Numbers 

Khabib is great. Unfortunately, being untouchable doesn’t necessarily sell merch. Just ask Mighty Mouse. He’s hilariously wooden when given the right counter point (ala polar opposite Conor) but who turns in to see the same interview where he praises God/country? Beating the guy who generates triple digit PPV sales doesn’t entitle you to that lion’s share money. This is prize fighting: not I am best so I make most fighting. 


Polaris 8 Announces Ishii vs Strauss (50/60 it’s a snoozefest)

Minutes that atrocious Jake Shields match, Strauss has had some scraps at the last Quintet. We’ll see if he can stave off the top game of Ishii who himself hasn’t exactly been a thrill a minute whilst getting paid for grappling matches

Ultra Heavyweight Tayane Says Women Scared to Compete for Money....(eyeroll) 

Or worried you’ll injure them.
It’s weird how it’s an ULTRA HEAVYWEIGHT saying this, right?  Even in the male divisions, how often do you see anyone from even lightweight doing the absolute? Infrequent at best. Some guys got some social media buzz for saying they would at NoGi Pans but come gameday virtually all quietly withdrawn.

Inside the Octagon Analyzes Black Beast vs Crying Man Cormier

What a time to be alive. Khabib did the soaring eagle has landed attack on Dillon Danis. Derick Lewis is gonna challenge for a belt. Jon Jones gets to fight for a belt he's been stripped of 3 times. There are no rules. Life is a stream of limitless power and unpredictability.

BJJ Scout's BJJ Digest: Roughouse Vagner faces Dance Master Canuto, Drysdale (2 time PED fail) talks Roids in JiuJitsu....et al

A lot of tongue in cheek in this one. Loving it.
Drysdale got popped for a Tes ration 3x what the NSAC allows and would in total fail 2 USADA tests before ending a short-lived UFC career. Vagner (the guy who Sparta kicked AJ off the stage is also Mr. Man of God blah blah blah, family man, blah blah, waxing poetic about his professionalism et cetera. Anyway, so much good pot calling the kettle black in this episode, dive in and enjoy, it's delicious.

The presidential candidate with a "problematic" view of a number of groups, got an honorary black belt. Given comments by Helio on women in JiuJitsu and their role in society, and the family's relationship to the dictatorship that ruled Brazil for decades, this shouldn't come as much surprise.

Polaris 8 Officially Announces Nicky Ryan vs Ashley Williams 

They robbed Imanari in that decision to give it to the hometown boy, Williams. Williams never really got anywhere with John Battle in a superfight at the Finishers Sub Only Pro or Frank Rosenthal whom he won in golden score/overtime at the last Kasai Installment.....so there's not much sense in expecting he'll pull a rabbit out of the hat here.
