Wasn’t it done before the incident. A lot of folks were accusing them of setting him up. They’re known pranksters. I saw they were trying to blame someone else.

I didn’t know who they were prior to listening to a few MMA podcasts.
Dana should get on the phone with Will Smith and Chris Rock.

Colby so cringe but I did end up listening to that Full Send pod and one guy did challenge him that he really lost to Usman in the second fight. Then Colby gets flustered and you can tell is stumbling for words to say he believes he actually won. It was fimed prior to the Masvidal incident but in the beginning they joke one of their guys set Colby up.

Brian Campbell brought up a good point which echos what I was questioning: he wished that Askarov v Kara-France was a 5 round fight, especially for a supposed #1 contender fight
imo it was a coin flip decision. Another 2 rounds would have been fun
It makes much more sense to prepare fighters for a title shot by putting them in a 5 round main event beforehand

I've seen them on my Youtube and saw the Colby interview but still don't get why or how they are famous. But I don't have my finger on the pulse with famous people today, especially if they are young. A couple of years back, I finally looked into Adam of No Jumper and boy do I feel dumb for doing that. Sadly, his videos get kicked to me all the time and I sometimes eventually watch some of it.

Yeah. Askarov/Kara France should have been five rounds. It was such a close fight. But I’m sure Askarov is still going to be in the title contention conversation. He was off for a year off. Whereas Kai had been busy.

First thing I noticed was that Usman is still training with Burns
I'm looking forward to this, they were saying Burns gave one of the best interviews ever

How did I miss this article, it was very good insight on the timeline leading up to Usman vs Burns. Published almost exactly a year ago
Great stuff here and it's cool to see Usman back at Sanford
That whole dynamic of Usman leaving must have been crazy and knowing that his supposed friends and teammates were talking sideways to him...

Ufc confirmed Singapore in June. Can’t wait to see jiri fight again

Jiri only fought once in 2020, once in 2021 and now will be once in 2022 (I doubt he fights again in 2022)
On one hand he should be very fresh. On the other, that's not a lot of fights in 3 years
Hope he wins though. I would like the division to move on from Glover and Jan

Without any data id say the majority of upper echelon fighters are now fighting once a year.... kinda sux tbh. For the fighters and the fans

A lot of factors go into it
Especially with COVID and Visa issues
It's a mixed bag. For instance Usman fought 3 times in 2021 while someone like Volk fought once in 2020 and once in 2021
Usually, once a fighter becomes champ you tend to see the fights slow down... but someone who is on the come up, I don't think that's necessarily common to fight so little and maintain such a high contender status
But again with COVID it threw a lot of things out of whack when you couple that with how Dana is now scheduling events like a year in advance
