Why do fans always call a knockout "fake" when a grazing shot catches someone on the temple or chin?
Is it just rage-bait or do people really not know how Equilibrium shots work? 👇

Between that Herb Dean compilation going around earlier and now Alex Pereira saying Herb stopped the Ciryl Gane fight too soon while Gane was gassing out,
Herb can't stay out of the headlines.
Do you think Herb Dean stopped Alex Pereira vs. Ciryl Gane too early, or was it the right call? 👇
Alex Pereira believes the result of his fight against Ciryl Gane would've been different if Herb Dean wasn't the referee:
"[Gane] wore himself out badly there and couldn't knock me out. They stopped the fight and I was still standing. I wasn't on the ground.
He was like 'I can't believe it. Thank God it's over.' You could see how heavily he was breathing."

Having to fight Ciryl Gane and then Sergei Pavlovich at heavyweight is a brutal run for anyone.
At least Alex Pereira is being completely honest about the size difference and his backup plan at 205.
How do you see Alex Pereira vs. Sergei Pavlovich playing out.
And should Poatan get an immediate title shot at 205 if he drops back down? 👇
🚨 Alex Pereira plans to move back down to 205 for an immediate title shot if he loses to Sergei Pavlovich:
"Everyone knows I'm not as heavy as those heavyweights. I'm not going to stay there taking a beating with that disadvantage.
I'd go back to my division, where I was already well adapted. It would be [straight] for the [light heavyweight] belt."

Dana White said at the UFC 333 press conference that Islam didn't give a reason for skipping January.
And now Islam lays it right out:
Prates lost to Ian Garry (whom Islam already beat), while undefeated Michael Morales was sitting waiting.
Now that you've heard both sides, who do you agree with here: Islam Makhachev or Dana White? 👇
🚨 Islam Makhachev explains why he turned down the Carlos Prates fight in January
"They offered me a fight with Prates, who recently lost to [Ian Garry], someone I beat. If I beat him, Morales would already be next in line, who's not fighting and waiting for [a title shot].
Just let them fight and we will figure out who's the real challenger."

When a former champion like Sean O'Malley admits that watching Petr Yan beat Merab Dvalishvili gave him nerves just sitting on the couch, you know Yan looked terrifying at UFC 333.
Say what you want about Suga, admitting that an opponent gives you the kind of nerves that make you train harder is the most honest compliment one fighter can give another. 🤝
😅 Sean O’Malley says watching Petr Yan gave him the kind of nerves that fuel his training - and predicts their rematch would be the biggest bantamweight fight in UFC history.

Daniel Cormier reading this #UFC333
Fighters calling out Daniel Cormier's commentary after a card is almost a post-fight tradition at this point.
Do you like Daniel Cormier on the UFC commentary desk, or do you agree with Dominick Reyes here?

Saying "it would've been too easy if I wasn't sick" after beating an undefeated contender like Movsar Evloev is a different level of championship mentality. 👑
Notice how Volk never breathes a word about being sick until after his hand is raised. Zero excuses, just shows up and gets the job done.

Asking someone "when's the last time we had a bad card?"
And then immediately ending the conversation the second someone gives an honest answer is peak Dana White.
"Okay. Well that's your opinion sir. Have a nice night."
Translation: never hand that guy the microphone again.

Then why are you NOT fighting him?
If he is not on your level, then just show it?
Are you scared of the smoking Nutella-man?
I just beat the guy who chased you around the Octagon for five rounds. Shut up and go train. You’re not on my level. See you soon . #maybe
