I feel like everyone loses when you play the "I'm gonna air out your secrets" game cause once you air out the secrets you do the damage but you end up losing the power after the exposure. That ? doesn't get you very far.

Right, but who in sports has done this tho??? This some tv ? lol and even if dana does apologize which id be suprised if he did, he damn sure aint gonna wanna ? wit tyron anymore so yea its jus gonna ? him later,like i said hell be in bellator sooner rather than later now -
Dana ain't gonna apologize. No way no how.
If Dana wants Tyron gone so bad he should just do his ? job and find someone who can beat him. At the end of the day Tyron is in the cage, not Dana. Matches make fights.
If Rory didn't run off to Bellator he could fight Tyron again and win. I think Lawler or Cowboy would have a chance against him and it would be entertaining because those guy both push the action. I actually wouldn't mind seeing a Lawler/Woodley rematch. -

Tyron had a shoulder injury after the uppercut in the first round to Maia, Maia coulda struck more also.Will Munny wrote: »Ghostdenithegawd wrote: »Will Munny wrote: »GSP def fought conservative against dudes he should have marked like Dan Hardy.
I think not letting woodley fight GSP cause he's had boring fights would be ? tho.
Dana is a promoter, not an arbitrator of what's right n wrong.
If dan hardy arm wasn't made out of rubber gap would of subbed him that fight
If GSP would have hugged the arm instead of gripped the wrist and went after it with some urgency he probably would have finished it.
As much as it pains me to admit, Dana does have a point about the least amount of strikes thrown in a title fight ever.

Funnily enough Cormier was talking ? to Jon saying Jon's strikes don't hurt, right before getting caught and finished.
They probably didn't hurt dc got knocked out party because his heavy ads dipped into Jon foot it was 100% Jon power
30% dc moving Into Jon foot 70% Jon foot
Kick was gon land flush regardless.
Dc was complacent and drop his guard.
Jones took advantage.
Like Jones said he lured DC getting comfortable in a boxing exchange then switched ? up literally with what seemed to.be an almost faked front kick into a high kick which was the beginning of the end for DC. Just more weapons and better strategy by Jones. -

Interesting take from Din Thomas on Tyron Woodley and sport vs entertainment.
http://fansided.com/2017/08/01/din-thomas-tyron-woodley-ufc-214/“The one thing I understand with fans is that they vicariously live through fighters,” Thomas said. “In their own head, they see themselves as this warrior that would just go out on their shield, and they want to battle, and they want to be in these epic fights. These back and forth epic battles. They live vicariously through fighters.”
Thomas continued, “When they see a guy not going through that they automatically say, ‘This guy is boring. I don’t like that guy. I want to see a guy who’s willing to just stand there and take punishment because that’s how I would do it if I was a fighter, but I’m not tough enough to fight, so I want them to go through it for me.’ But the reality is, every fighter I know would fight like Floyd Mayweather…if they could.” -
The hero mythos is why MMA has gotten so popular

Maia has always been a "boring" fighter as well. But I do think if we are gonna assign blame I think it falls on Tyron. Idgaf tho cause that's how flights go.
for the fights against Wonder Boy I think it's almost 100% Wonder Boy's fault. Those fights were like 95% standing and Wonder Boy is a stand up specialist so Tyron can't be to blame there. Again, still idgaf -

Last two fights where against dudes who only will fight when the angle is 1000000% in their favor

I'm capable of winning without taking any damage but let me take damage anyway because it makes me look like a badass. -

LOL, Paulie is just trying to talk himself into a future fight. -
Maybe haha. Obviously they only showed two short clips but it looked to me like Paulie was either surprised by how hard Connor was gonna go, or by his skill, or both.
When u spar with a new guy and everyone is watching it's basically a full on fight with headgear on. That's just gym basics 101
