Why would Dana White stop promoting Trump when his big wish is for Trump to become president again? They have been friends for almost 30 years and are both as morally and ethically corrupt as it gets. Dana White has helped to run the UFC like a sporting mafia for many years and wants to keep it that way, hence why he continually courts the worlds worst powerful and authoritarian people.

Not really sure if you can class this as MMA but did anyone else watch the Eddie Hall 1v2 fight? what a bizarre line up, if you haven't seen it skip the first 2 rounds but that final round was something! weight classes exist for a reason!
I haven't heard much of this fight until just now.
But strongman Eddie Hall takes on 2 opponents at the same time.
I found a youtube short of the main highlight.

I ignored it.
Belongs in the same catagory as the Jake Paul rubbish.

The joke is that despite it being 2vs1, Eddie still weighed in at 62lbs more than his opponents combined weight.
The cool thing about freak fights is it shows you how little chance much smaller guys actually have against massive guys in fights in real life, when all things are otherwise roughly equal. A significantly bigger guy will either smash you or just get on top of you and be so heavy that you can do nothing except lie there while getting pummeled.
Best thing to do is run, run like the wind.

I believe (I've yet to watch them but have them all ready for viewing one day) but didn't Pride do a series of big v small fights?
I think it's the spectacle that makes it interesting, in the same way as the very early UFC's pitching different types of fighters against each other. As much as I enjoy the UFC, the fighters are so well rounded these days they pretty much all have the same skill set so a lot of the fights tend to be similar. Ok some of the early fights were rubbish and hugely imbalanced but it was intriguing.

They had the openweight GP which allowed for some freak fights, like how Mark Hunt got KO'd by Manhoef.
But they also didnt have a heavyweight limit, which allowed for other freak fights such as Fedor vs Zulu.

Got an email from the UFC just now about putting your name on the canvas for the Edwards card. Not that I am going to but if you actually went to it and were into sporting memorabilia I think it's great value, much cheaper than I expected considering they cut it out after and frame it for you as part of the deal.

Conor McGregor vs Michael Chandler: UFC 303 bout cancelled because of injury
I'll be surprised if we actually see Conor in the octagon again ever....
He's got no interest in fighting - more interested in spending his money/partying etc
