I think a lot of the boos last night was because this is the first time in a BMF fight that there was any grappling on the ground. I think people are used to the idea that for the bmf belt you stand and strike with the opponent.

Isn't necessarily the rule, its just how every single bmf belt has gone until last night.

Regardless, Charles was beating max for the little time that they were on the feet. He'd have some mean combinations before taking max down like it was nothing then completely controlling him. Got some nasty hits on fhe ground too.

I love seeing Charles fight and hes one grappler that's always been entertaining.
 
As for the white house card, I was kind of disappointed as well. The main event and the co main are absolutely dope, but the rest of the card i dont care about. Dana made it seem like the entire card was going to be main event worthy fights though.

Prior to the announcement Dana said he already got the first cancelation and it was a really big fight that got canceled.

There were a lot of rumors that makachev was going to fight a returning st Pierre but I doubt that was the fight. Wonder if we will find out who canceled.

Wild that they got Diego lopes opening the card and bo nickal fighting an unranked fighter right after.

I hate bo nickal but he does have some entertaining fights against unranked fighters. His first chance at ranked with RDR he got destroyed. Bo and his opponent should be opening up the card.

Puffy vs chandler is a dope fight potentially. Ruffy has been whooping ass. Chandler is in need of a win. But even when chandler is getting his ass whooped the dude makes it an entertaining fight.

O malley is eh to me. I dont know shit about his opponent, 135 isnt the most exciting weight class outside of the top 3 and champ. O malley won his last fight but he needs a knockout imo to get that star power back. His weakness against wrestlers has been exposed and everyone in the top 3 of 135 are all wrestlers as well as Yan, the champ. He just chose to stand with omalley in their last fight and may have gotten robbed in the decision.

Hes always been in communication with UFC. There's been big talks about it as of late, but the word is Jon was in negotiations, but asked for a number that ufc wasnt willing to pay.

7.7 billion dollar deal and the biggest thing they've done is make fight bonuses 100k instead of 50k.

It's at a point where fighters arent going to want to sign or re sign with the ufc. But at the same time, where else will they go?

PFL just had a whole change in leadership a month or two ago. Hopefully the folks they got running the show are a bit better with money and events, but now that ufc doesn't use a PPV model, I dont see how pfl has a chance with their PPV. ONE FC i havent even heard about for over a year. Ufc has a complete monopoly rn.

Excited about khamzat vs Strickland.

Not a fan of Strickland, especially of him talking, but I do find it really amazing that his particular style turns out to be the kryptonite for a lot of fighters. DDP beat him for sure in their rematch, but the first figjt was close. Strickland hasn't shown it much, but he has a very good ground game and has even trained with khamzat so there is some bad blood, but I think Strickland can defend himself well enough on the ground to survive the first couple rounds, then keep khamzat on his back foot and wear him down. Could be a really interesting fight.

Brady vs Buckley is dope. I got Buckley.

Volkov vs Cortez Acosta could be good as well
