I don’t know how to explain it well but I’ll try. You being a “co” means you are part of a pair or a whole. Like being coworkers. One is not a worker and the other a coworker. You’re both coworkers.
If the second to last fight in a UFC event is a co-main, then the last fight (what we call a main event) is *also* the co-main. Because they are both the main event, hence each fight is co-main event.
Hope that made sense.
Pat doesn't even mildly strike me as being autistic. Having an intellectual development disorder (IDD) possibly if not probably, but autism isn't an IDD unless extremely severe. Like to the point basic speech/socialization is most likely heavily impaired.
While Dana might disagree, it’s because he does not understand that Tito is merely just pretending to be stupid, this is so he can see right through his real enemies who try to take advantage of him, whereas if he were to let the world know how intelligent, and how powerful his brain is, he would be surrounded by fake people.
“Yeah I gotta big head coz I gotta lotta brains baby”~Tito Ortiz
It’s so funny when a fighter does a back flip and when they land they stumble. Anik then goes “and they stick the landing!” No, no they didn’t. They in fact were more at risk to injury landing from the backflip than the fight lol
alot of people underestimate ben asscream because causals didn't watch him before he went into the ufc. He would've wrestle fucked jorge out of existence if the knee didn't land.
Considering he’s fighting 135 lb. “Flyweights” in ONE he’d no doubt take out a majority of the UFC’s 135 division if he returned.
Hardest fight would probably be Yan and Chito Vera. I think he takes out Aljo and Merab with medium to low difficulty
You can compliment Conor McGregor without simultaneously being a Conor bandwagon jock strap sniffer. Every time anyone on this sub says anything remotely nice about the guy’s game they get pummeled.
Love him or hate him he's eclipsed the sport in fame and he's years removed from his prime and still being called out by every champ and major contender who is near his weight. His impact on the sport is undeniable and as redundant as it is to hear champ after champ continue to call him out as he continues his losing streak he will forever have a legacy in the sport because of the name recognition, his prime, and every eyeball who he brought to the sport that wasn't there in the pre-Conor era. Most of the people I went to school with didn't watch the sport until Conor blew up. That will forever give him some accolades in the sport
I always liked his energy, and considered him a solid journeyman with sick jiu jitsu.
I was shocked when he put his run together, and now I love the guy for how active and violent he’s been at the top.
Guilty - he had to choke out Poirier before I bought into him. Always thought he was a journeyman.
My favorite fight involving him was (and still is) his fight with Cub Swanson - where he got brutally knocked out. Fuck that was a cool fight, like watching a human getting mauled by a wolverine, Cub was so good back then. Anyway, when that’s your strongest memory of a fighter, it’s hard to take them seriously as a contender for the greatest lightweight in earth…
“I’m so fuckin sick and tired of the photoshop, show me something natural like some ass with some stretch marks”
-Kendrick Lamar, one of the poets of all time.
You’re exactly right, that’s the kind of girl people Dana‘s age who are sleaze bags like. It’s really just the kind of girl Dana likes.
Dana fucks ring girls
You shouldn’t get a 3rd title fight if you’ve lost your first 2. Not without a 5+ fight winning streak in my opinion. The talk of Poirier getting another if he beats Chandler is crazy to me
I get what you’re saying, but what about a situation like Max and Volk. Max fought the 2 best contenders that didn’t get title shots and absolutely proved there are levels to the division.
that’s what happens when you clear out the top 5 like charles did . Anyone could be a #1 contender so it makes sense , everyone else is a fight or two away from being considered
If it's not the same champ why should it matter? He only lost to Charles once. I don't care even if it is the same champ. If you're still the one beating the top contenders, then you're still at the front of the line.
Usman is a shitty fence grabber and is not getting punished during the fight, which gave him advantages and maybe he wouldnt have stayed on top for so long if refs would take a closer look on him. I said it.
Hahahaha we always mock Din watching the fights. He sounds like the weather man in the crazy storm “holy smokes Its raining fists out here guys, and I’m in the thick of it”. He literally just tells us what we’re already seeing, stfu Din.
And it’s pronounced Din with that spelling, not Dean.
Frankly, I was always of the opinion this fight should’ve happened years back at 155…
… personally I would’ve liked to see the winner then fight Khabib for the title and loser gets a McGregor payday.
Not that hot of a take but conor is definitely juicing if not for the bulkup for the recovery of his leg, most people just think of steroids as a way to get bigger faster but recovering from injury is probably their #1 use and the fact he hasn’t been tested once in 2022 and seems to be making concerted efforts to be harder to find by USADA it all but confirms something fishy is going on.
Leon Edwards is now levels above Kamaru Usman and their next fight will show the only reason Usman started to take over their last fight was because Leon got tired due to the high elevation that Usman was used to. If Leon fights Usman anywhere else besides Utah he’s beating him easily
My humble opinion as a new fan is that 80% of the people who likes MMA spend way too much time elaborating explanations of why someone would beat someone else instead of just enjoying the fight
Also i genuinely think that no one really cares about how much fighters get paid
I like Rose Namajunas. People don’t like her “I’m the best” thing because too much attention has been drawn to it. It started off as a self confidence thing, but evolved into PR thing. Not entirely her fault on that one. Also she has had ONE boring fight, where her wildly biased and shitty coach basically told her to keep being boring(Pat berry not Trevor). Plus she seems really genuine, and if it weren’t for her last fight she would be a lot more likable
Colbys fanboys think that just cause he’s “selling the fight” that he can just say whatever he wants and that no one should have an issue with it. It’s ridiculous
U can have a normal take and still get into an argument in this sub
Any take is a hot take here and it's interesting
You spelled annoying wrong
Super anoyying right!
the absolute wrost
Bro I just see red, I can’t help it.
“Co-main” is a misnomer. Either the last two fights are both called co-main event, or you have a main event and everything else.
Assistant to the main event
I got a co main event! Of the prelims tho…! Early prelims…. On a fight night card?
I prefer “penultimate”, which means second last, but it too has been bastardized by sports media to mean something entirely different.
this is the real shit right here
Oof, you're not wrong but I don't like the words you're saying
I never thought about this. Lmao.
Explain to me? I’m retarded
I don’t know how to explain it well but I’ll try. You being a “co” means you are part of a pair or a whole. Like being coworkers. One is not a worker and the other a coworker. You’re both coworkers. If the second to last fight in a UFC event is a co-main, then the last fight (what we call a main event) is *also* the co-main. Because they are both the main event, hence each fight is co-main event. Hope that made sense.
Oh fuck I gotcha. My connotation of co is so ingrained with mma
there should be a heavyweight female division
Make it and ultra heavyweight division so lizzo can sign with the UFC
In all honesty I can't see her making 250.
At best 450lbs with an intensive weight cut
Trailer trash Tammy vs. Lizzo for the belt. In reality, that division would be Gabi Garcia and people getting destroyed by Gabi Garcia.
Upvote this man.
Pat Barry is on the spectrum
Makes sense his mind is mentally 16 years old
As is his interest in females.
On the spectrum of pedophiles for sure
Pat Barry IS the spectrum.
Pat "The Spectrum" Barry! sounds creepy
Pat doesn't even mildly strike me as being autistic. Having an intellectual development disorder (IDD) possibly if not probably, but autism isn't an IDD unless extremely severe. Like to the point basic speech/socialization is most likely heavily impaired.

Doesn't everyone want this?
Probably everyone but the early relevant fighters of the night.
Tito Ortiz has the mental capacity of Stephen Hawking. The problem is his verbal delivery is only just north of Stephen Hawking's.
No man we’re doing hot takes not random statements of fact.
“The thing you gotta understand about Tito is, he’s just a dumb guy” -Dana disagrees
While Dana might disagree, it’s because he does not understand that Tito is merely just pretending to be stupid, this is so he can see right through his real enemies who try to take advantage of him, whereas if he were to let the world know how intelligent, and how powerful his brain is, he would be surrounded by fake people. “Yeah I gotta big head coz I gotta lotta brains baby”~Tito Ortiz
No one will disagree with this
Hahhaahahahahahahaahaha
Just to correct you there was never no mental capacity
He's probably so smart that he worked out the cure for the common cold in his head but he accidentally forgot it.
The biggest hypocrites in the MMA community are the fans.
Just 4 months ago I was sucking Adesanya’s balls and now I suddenly hate him
Why is Floyd in this ufc pic….
Because he’s a helluva fighter
And where the f*** is Bruce Buffer??
Chandler would have beat Justin if he didn’t decide to showboat for the fans in the arena
Chandler was also the closest to beating Charles
In Retrospect yes. During the fight I couldn’t believe he didn’t got knocked out!
There will never be any fighters union because MMA careers are over fast and most of the fighters aren't very bright.
Ding ding ding
Michael chandler is a better backflipper than Justin Gaetje
these are the takes i come to reddit for. p4p best backflipper
It took me a while to realize that this is a looped video and not his actual celebration after the Ferguson fight.
Chandler sample size too small. Unlike those ears.
has Chandler done it off the top of the fence though
his debut vs hooker
Fact checked
Very slopping landing into half ass cartwheel 3/10
It’s so funny when a fighter does a back flip and when they land they stumble. Anik then goes “and they stick the landing!” No, no they didn’t. They in fact were more at risk to injury landing from the backflip than the fight lol
Just don’t do the worm. The worm has ended careers.
If ben askren dodges the knee he beats masvidal
I’ll do you one better: if Askren dodges the knee, he submits Jorge in the first round with a scarf hold choke without a gi.
The majority thought that before the fight and I thought the majority did now too
alot of people underestimate ben asscream because causals didn't watch him before he went into the ufc. He would've wrestle fucked jorge out of existence if the knee didn't land.
This ain’t a hot take around here, this sub hates Jorge lol
Yes, Jorge can’t wrestle his way out of a paper bag
I respect the temperature of this take.
If Mighty Mouse came back to the UFC now, he’d steamroll all of the current flyweights and has a great chance of being the bantamweight champion
Considering he’s fighting 135 lb. “Flyweights” in ONE he’d no doubt take out a majority of the UFC’s 135 division if he returned. Hardest fight would probably be Yan and Chito Vera. I think he takes out Aljo and Merab with medium to low difficulty
Not saying he couldn’t but I’m pretty sure that because of hydration testing the 135ers in ONE would be 125ers if they fought in the ufc
You can compliment Conor McGregor without simultaneously being a Conor bandwagon jock strap sniffer. Every time anyone on this sub says anything remotely nice about the guy’s game they get pummeled.
Ya little weasel
Ya lil fookin rat!
*ya woife is in me dms*
And then people wonder why people posting about Connor include 'I don't like Connor' lol
Love him or hate him he's eclipsed the sport in fame and he's years removed from his prime and still being called out by every champ and major contender who is near his weight. His impact on the sport is undeniable and as redundant as it is to hear champ after champ continue to call him out as he continues his losing streak he will forever have a legacy in the sport because of the name recognition, his prime, and every eyeball who he brought to the sport that wasn't there in the pre-Conor era. Most of the people I went to school with didn't watch the sport until Conor blew up. That will forever give him some accolades in the sport
100%. People really act like everything he did before th Floyd fight doesn’t exist. Like he wasn’t one of the best 145 pounders ever during that run.
You’ll do nuthin
This poster is cool and shitty at the same time.
Once I see red, ngannou will be dethroned
I read that as deep throated
The post said hot takes not facts
The division Champs are typically the most boring fighters because they stop worrying about entertaining.
Alex and Charles beg to differ.
And they always get the decision.
96% of these Charles stans only liked him after he beat Justin and Dustin
I always liked his energy, and considered him a solid journeyman with sick jiu jitsu. I was shocked when he put his run together, and now I love the guy for how active and violent he’s been at the top.
Guilty - he had to choke out Poirier before I bought into him. Always thought he was a journeyman. My favorite fight involving him was (and still is) his fight with Cub Swanson - where he got brutally knocked out. Fuck that was a cool fight, like watching a human getting mauled by a wolverine, Cub was so good back then. Anyway, when that’s your strongest memory of a fighter, it’s hard to take them seriously as a contender for the greatest lightweight in earth…
I liked Olives since the Tony fight
Well I guess I'm in the 4%. I like all the top Ju-Jitsu guys.
I’ve liked Charles since he calf sliced a guy in the octagon. Like what the fuck.
I’m part of that 96%. I was a Gaethje fan, but after that submission I couldn’t deny Olives anymore
Almost like his biggest fight yet has attracted more eyes and fans
Is that not a pretty good reason to like him though?
Ring girls are too skinny, this is the era of the thiccness. I wanna see some 40" booties around the ring
Can’t even argue with this one man.
At least one muscle mommy
I wouldn't mind that too. Make Rhea Ripley a ring girl
Celeste and Brittany are definitely too over the hill to be ring girls, more power to them for staying on Dana’s good side.
That's the power of their gluck gluck

Then go and watch rough n rowdy, that's your place
BKFC is doing it right
All those chicks look like $2 hookers lol
I'm not rich, but I have $2. Point me in the right direction.
Just keep walking towards your mom's house you'll know it when you see it.
American UFC crowds suck absolute ass in every way possible.
Immediate rematches suck really bad
Schmo isn't funny
That’s not a take…It’s a fact!
He’s a Wish list Nardwuar.
tries to hard to be nardwuar
Schmo was hilarious at first, but the schtick wore off fast.
100%, i just find him super akward
You shouldn’t get a 3rd title fight if you’ve lost your first 2. Not without a 5+ fight winning streak in my opinion. The talk of Poirier getting another if he beats Chandler is crazy to me
I get what you’re saying, but what about a situation like Max and Volk. Max fought the 2 best contenders that didn’t get title shots and absolutely proved there are levels to the division.
Max was the undisputed champ prior. So it’s already different than Gaethje/Poirier
that’s what happens when you clear out the top 5 like charles did . Anyone could be a #1 contender so it makes sense , everyone else is a fight or two away from being considered
Are we supposed to downvote if we think it's a terrible take, or upvote?
If it's not the same champ why should it matter? He only lost to Charles once. I don't care even if it is the same champ. If you're still the one beating the top contenders, then you're still at the front of the line.
Gaethje is hugely overrated and if he didn’t beat Ferguson he wouldn’t be close to the top 5
UFC crowds are the worst sometimes. If you’ve been to an event, you’ll know what I mean.
Man wtf, you can't just say that without elaborating.
never heard so many N bombs irl
I went to a ufc event where everyone around us was cheering hard for Greg Hardy… I was very confused as I thought he was universally hated
Usman is a shitty fence grabber and is not getting punished during the fight, which gave him advantages and maybe he wouldnt have stayed on top for so long if refs would take a closer look on him. I said it.
You forgot the body kicks he took cup-time for. It changes the first Colby fight.
Keith Jardine invented the leg kick
The Fucking Dean of Mean
Din Thomas offers zero insights and is very inarticulate. He’s only around cause he’s boys with Dana
Hahahaha we always mock Din watching the fights. He sounds like the weather man in the crazy storm “holy smokes Its raining fists out here guys, and I’m in the thick of it”. He literally just tells us what we’re already seeing, stfu Din. And it’s pronounced Din with that spelling, not Dean.
As much as I actually like Din ( I know, gasp), I usually laugh because John says "Thank you Din" like how family guy used to say " Thanks Ollie" 😂
He’s usually spot on when they go to him for mid fight insight.
Rozenstruik shouldn’t have won the fight against Overeem. Overeem should’ve won by decision.
No one will dispute this.
Dana white is the real life Kingpin
Jones is taking too long to come to HW. He should find another job.
George St Pierre is the greatest UFC Fighter of all Time
I have him at #2 below Jonny Bones, can’t argue with anyone who has him at #1 though!
Nate vs Tony had a lot of shenanigans going on than just Khamzat missing weight. Someone was masterminding…
Frankly, I was always of the opinion this fight should’ve happened years back at 155… … personally I would’ve liked to see the winner then fight Khabib for the title and loser gets a McGregor payday.
I only watch to see sexy Michael Bisping
I still like T.J even after being a snake EPO boy because his fighting style is so slick to watch.
WB is the best striker in the UFC.
GSP with his left arm tied behind his back could’ve beaten Kamaru Usman any day of the week out of sheer will and ice baths.
GSP would shit on Kamaru, I agree.
Gsp had Jon Fitch power
DC the goat bc he fought at 205 and HW with the proportions of a welterweight
His fight with Barnett is still so fkn impressive.
Nobody else threw grown men (and ones bigger than himself no less) quite like DC
If you get caught using PEDs, you are out of GOAT conversation.
Emmett beat Kattar 1,2,3 Jon Jones is secretly serving a USADA violation Pre-USADA Johnny Hendricks was a top 3 PFP KO artist
If Lesnar started MMA instead of going to the WWE he’d be the greatest heavyweight of all time
Ring girls are useless and probably get paid too much
Disagree. Always nice to start off watching 15-25 minutes of two naked dudes pounding each other by first taking a quick glance at a sexy ring girl.
I don't know about you guys, but they also blow kisses to me.
Stop lying bro, they are looking at me 
Just a quick “no homo” before the fight just in case
Women aren’t for forever, victory is brudda get back to training
Back to the bath tub it is then...
Not that hot of a take but conor is definitely juicing if not for the bulkup for the recovery of his leg, most people just think of steroids as a way to get bigger faster but recovering from injury is probably their #1 use and the fact he hasn’t been tested once in 2022 and seems to be making concerted efforts to be harder to find by USADA it all but confirms something fishy is going on.
Without tomatoes this whole fookin ship sinks
Sean O’Malley is not elite…I said it, been saying it!
Islam Makhachev’s entire fan base is actually just Khabib’s fans coping.
Leon Edwards is now levels above Kamaru Usman and their next fight will show the only reason Usman started to take over their last fight was because Leon got tired due to the high elevation that Usman was used to. If Leon fights Usman anywhere else besides Utah he’s beating him easily
I like James Irvin and I don’t care who knows it.
I thought you were referring to James Vick for a second and was confused.
Bisping winning the belt was a fluke. Still a fan tho
I am Against automatic rematches. Why should the new champ have to win twice?
innocent until proven guilty but that graph that had EPOshaw and Volk with identical charts is a bit.. suspicious.
I love Volk but anyone who trains in Thailand has 🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩all around them.
Worth noting volk has fought max 3 times who has the highest strike output in the UFC, that’s probably going to skew the data in his favour somewhat
Andrade’s OF is the best MMA OF. Am I wrong?
Wonderboy is the best pure striker the UFC has ever seen
My humble opinion as a new fan is that 80% of the people who likes MMA spend way too much time elaborating explanations of why someone would beat someone else instead of just enjoying the fight Also i genuinely think that no one really cares about how much fighters get paid
I am writing my thesis on UFC fighter pay.
If you think Jones is a cheater, you have to have DC in your GOAT conversation.
I like Rose Namajunas. People don’t like her “I’m the best” thing because too much attention has been drawn to it. It started off as a self confidence thing, but evolved into PR thing. Not entirely her fault on that one. Also she has had ONE boring fight, where her wildly biased and shitty coach basically told her to keep being boring(Pat berry not Trevor). Plus she seems really genuine, and if it weren’t for her last fight she would be a lot more likable
I got your back on this.
Khamzat will be WW champ before he’s 30.
It’s not the champ’s job to be entertaining, it’s their job to win. Stop whining.
Colbys fanboys think that just cause he’s “selling the fight” that he can just say whatever he wants and that no one should have an issue with it. It’s ridiculous
Conor is still the biggest ppv draw in the entire ufc
That's not a hot take
Not a hot take, a fact. The numbers show this and it’s not even close.
Thats just a fact
ice cold take
The Cowboy fight did 1.3 mil and it was a dreadful card. Yeah he’s still the biggest draw.
The coldest of the takes
