    Lesnar is a fucking animal. For him to come in like hat after not fighting for 5 years and beat a top 10 heavyweight is pretty amazing. Rest of the card was decent. Cormier fight was a snooze.

    cormier's fights are always a snooze.

    UFC sold for $4 Billion. White still president, Lorenzo Fertitta is out as CEO, but both Fertitta brothers still hold minority stake in company, as does Dana.

    the brothers bought it for $2 Million only 15 years ago. That's quite a return on investment.

    Good for them. I hope all the fighters band together and make this a real thing.....these guys get fucked over big time by UFC.

    totally. the fertita brothers are probably happy this happened now that they sold the company. Dana White is in for some HEADACHES.

    Good. White is such an asshole. Fighters get treated like complete garbage unless they are the top tier guys. Hopefully they all go on strike until the UFC recognizes this union. They probably should have done this leading up to UFC200....would have gotten a ton of press leading up to what they claimed was their biggest event ever.

    he is. I can't for the life of me understand how any owner can stomach how he speaks to/in the media, swearing at them, admonishing them; that wouldn't be tolerated in any other sports organization. he's a dick. how he was fat shaming and follower shaming people on twitter last year. it was disgusting.

    Yeah. And not to mention that trainwreck appearance he made at the RNC....still not even sure what that was supposed to be. Very classy for the president of a billion dollar organization to be getting into Twitter wars....such a dope.

    it was actually a pretty bad speech. I mean, he basically admitted that he was only there, not because of Trump's policies, but because Trump did him business favours in the early days of the UFC. I don't recall White mentioning anything about Trump's policies at all.

    I can't decide if it's worth ordering. I think Punk is most likely going to get destroyed.....not sure if seeing that is worth the $60.

    My guess is punk gets destroyed. Watching the evolution of punk he couldnt even hang with guys on the independent circuit. Duke rufus was even obviously saying he sucked while training him.

    My hometown (population <5,000) guy, Cody "No Love" Garbrandt is getting a title shot against Cruz! Dec 6th I think.
    Would love to see another knockout. He shot up the rankings like a rocket and I really have been impressed. He has a ton to learn yet, but his last few fights have shown he has what it takes to beat Cruz, who has been one of the most underwhelming long-time champs the MMA has ever seen.
