UFC / MMA

Who have we got for this weekend?
I'm only familiar with the title fighters...and Kevin Holland whom I swear has been in most of the modern UFC's I have watched since getting into it a year ago.
Picking Harrison by some distance...also weirdly O'Malley. Not sure if he has confirmed he was injured last match, my guess is he was and went through with it anyway to save the card and that's why he's got another shot. Not basing any of that on fact though so could easily just run the same as the first fight.

Luque
Bautista
Pyfer
Harrison
O’Malley -
Absolutely cracking day of fights,
Only one that slightly dragged was Spivac vs Acosta, even down to the early prelims had me glued.O'Malley was better than last time but I did not expect to see Merab that much better again, might be long reign. Harrison was awesome, assuming the next weight cut doesn't kill her (reasonable odds on that) then the match vs Nunes could be awesome.

In a hardly surprising turn of events. If you are not a main event fighter. Life is pretty shit in the UFC

@SouthernMann really tried getting through that. Legacy media just so out-of-touch. Default position that they expect their audience to have is "trump is evil". If you don't accept that then its just nauseating.

There is a strong narrative around refusal to pay talent well, and closed contracts interms of performing elsewhere though...
It isn't just orange man bad.

Fair enough, I loved the interviews with the fighters but when they started down the 'racist, mysogynist, sexist' trope about the fighters and the UFC's refusal to apply cancel culture to stop radicalising young men I started to grind my teeth..end point for me was the claim that the UFC was purposely training people specifically to vote right wing.
Would be really interested to get a take on how fighters are paid, how it compares to other organisations, has it changed since the TKO merger, CTE issues, hospital bills, UFC absorbing other competitions that sort of stuff but got to a point where I couldn't trust that the documentarians were going to be objective presenting issues rather than just trying to paint a narrative to support a political position facts be damned.
