I'm back in video form! It 's been awhile, but it feels great to be back. It feels even better to be back talking about the UFC Lightweight Title picture. I made a couple of little mistakes in this vid, but hey, you get back on the bike, you might stumble a little bit too. Biggest mistake? Mentioning that El Cucuy is going to fight Branch(?!?!?!) when it's actually Kevin Lee! But hey, it's still a great video and it was fun to make, so check it out and tell me what you think.

So let's talk about the "hate" that's going up Daniel Cormiers' way. Why? For nothing that he's done. He did nothing wrong, he did not embarrass himself and his division, he has not been a sad representation of what's wrong in MMA. Yet somehow, some way, people still seem to harbor ill feelings towards him being the rightful champion of a division he has dominated while staying clean and staying positive. Let's talk DC, Jon Jones and the mess that is the light heavyweight division. 

I expected Gennady Golovkin and Canelo Alvarez to deliver a classic boxing slugfest, and boy did they ever. What it didn't deliver on, however, was any consistency from the judges' cards, who ruled the fight a split draw. Golovkin retained his unified middleweight title before a sold-out crowd of 22,358 at the T-Mobile Arena, but few were satisfied with the result. The fight lived up to the hype with a classic middleweight battle that ended in a somewhat controversial draw.

UFC 215 ended up exceeding expectations, something that usually happens with fight cards that are barely promoted and whose historic main event wasn't even really advertised. With that being said, I want to focused on that cancelled main event and the way it wasn't promoted.There aren't many historic events happening every year in MMA, this was one and yet the UFC and Dana White did not deem it fit to put some marketing dollars behind it.

So Khabib Nurmogomedov is saying he wants the winner of the Tony Ferguson vs. Kevin Lee interim title match. That's all fine and great, but why should he get what he wants?. Per Khabib: “I know (Tony Ferguson and Kevin Lee) talk (expletive) about everybody, but I don’t want this,” Nurmagomedov said. “I know this: Both guys are great athletes, good fighters. I’m going to say good luck, don’t get injured, and see you in December. Good luck, guys.” Good luck indeed.

It's been awhile, but it's time to talk wrestling again.... and it feels so good. It's also good timing because I get to talk about that John Cena / Roman Reigns that every Reigns fan says was almost 50/50. Reigns didn't get buried, but he didn't rise to the occasion either. If anything, he faltered on the mic... again. He didn't look like the man... again. He did not impress... again.

McGregor vs Mayweather is over and done with. Better than the Pacquiao fight, by a mile, this fight somehow delivered on its marketing promise. 10 rounds of excitement. 10 rounds of unexpected quality boxing. My thoughts on the fight and its consequences.

McGregor vs Mayweather is almost upon us. Listen as I reflect on how the buildup might be better than the fight and the potential outcomes and consequences of each!

I am as tired as the next guy with the things Jon Jones has done to derail his career. Every time he seems to be getting back on track, he does something new to mess up. As innovative as he has been inside the octagon it's his creativity in finding new ways to mess up outside of it that really has kept him in the headlines.

WWE Summerslam was no NXT Takeover Brooklyn III, not even close. It wasn't even on the same level. Both events were held in the same building and that's where the similarities end. Listen to this episode to find out what I thought of the matches. I didn't have time to talk much about why I thought this was a subpar show, but I did go into the matches and why most disappointed.

This card, on its face, is underwhelming. Underwhelming cards tend to overachieve. I believe this is the case for this Takeover. Listen to my thoughts, ideas and predictions!

Frank Mir has signed with Bellator, it's time to get ready for a career resurgence. One of the greatest heavyweight fighters of all time has signed with the second biggest MMA promotion in the world. Find out why I think this is great for both Frank Mir and all MMA fans.

My opinions on the situation of Malignaggi and the McGregor team. I believe that this is a situation that has been blown out of proportion, mainly by the McGregor camp. Find out where and why I think things went wrong and the consequences of this situation for Conor McGregor in the long run.
