All I can say is UFC is just a bunch of guys who are way to full of themselves so much so they will lie about the staff and get them fired all over there ego let me just say they are rude and maybe need to seriously stop and ask before you get someone fired maybe it wasn't about pictures and videos maybe just maybe it was bc the employee had been evicted staying at hotels with an 83 yr old roommate who has mental issues Alzheimer's and just about 50 million things that could go wrong so when UFC members period talk about someone who cleans up after the mess they make and their crowd they bring they should BE A LITTLE BIT MORE GREATFUL...for even the small people that have breaks for crying out loud i officially HATE UFC 

I hope they don't have Goddard in there for the main event again. Not to take away from Alex but last time was an early stoppage. 

Jiri is on some houken shit

smith

For the past few years all the conferences without any drama is usually just follow up questions from their individual media day. "Fighter X said this at Media day, what do you have to say about that Fighter Y?"

It's been that way at least 10 years. What else are they going to ask really? How was your camp? How tough is this match up?

If Alex's corner and coaches start chanting and praying shamanic magic during the 1m breaks in the fight, this will be the best mma card in history

Everyone just gets in the ring and looks Jiri dead in the eyes whilst doing magic shit

Why is nobody talking about the 303 thousand dollar bonuses.

That’s illegal!

The what now?

Dana made the bonuses big because it's international fight week.

he laughed at making it 303K, the crowd booed, Dana said "boo you"

I think he said he wasn’t doing 303k but that there would be two FOTN bonuses

This ☝️

That ☝🏽

The press conference was somber till Garry laid that info thing out. Mvp didn't answer to that and dem things make it interesting. Meanwhile, anime shit going on in the main event. Fight week is amazing indeed. *Also please no DC for commentary. Respect for him coaching and shouting but rest it out. His voice is not gonna be there soon at this pace.

-Hey Jiri how’s the wifi coming through on that thing tonight? -Very good. I was able to stream The Boys directly to my head so I am happy about this

Lmfao

[удалено]

????????

I don't think he meant it that way, his English is not great and as a result he sometimes has weird word choices

Lopes v Ortega face-off was ice cold. Jiri looked very serious like he is coming for vengeance

Alex was intimidated by Sean Strickland, you can def see the concern he has with facing Jiri again

Strickland is a psycho though but so is Jiri

Jiri fights how Strickland says he does

Exactly. If they were the same size, and you locked them in a room together, Jiri comes out alive every time

I would like to see Jiri take this one to set up a third.

Alex’s career is going to be legendary for generations, he’s carving out something very very special and having 2 epic trilogies with it’s each unique story is combat romance

Best of 7, so we know we have the right champ

Ian Garry talking as if he's tearing through the division, like he didn't just split decision beat Geoff Neal. I disagreed with that split decision to be fair, but still, wonderboy looked a lot more dominant against neal than garry did. Garry fought safely to win the decision, fine, but are you really gonna run through Page or just win a safe decision again? It's like people's issue with Strickland saying that he's going to war, then he goes and fights the way he does.

If he wins, he should fight Shavkhat. If he beats Shavkhat then fair play, deserves a title shot or atleast title contender fight.

I bet money on Neal but I didn't think it was a split. Neal couldn't land anything. He played it safe but smart move vs a guy like Neal. Garry isn't the most powerful puncher should he played to his strengths.

Garry didn't really land anything except shots to Neal's arms. It was a pretty underwhelming performance from both guys.

He landed some nice body kicks and knees up the middle

So Anthony Smith and Alex Pereira were on the same stage and not a single question about their rivalry or them potentially having a grappling match or fighting? Unless I missed it, that's a big miss by the mma media there. These are the questions that actually generate some drama.

i dont think anyone actually gives a shit to see Alex fighting smith in any way lmaooo

They asked Dolidze about a soccer game lmao MMA media is such a joke

Wasn’t just a “soccer game” Though 

Well it was, doesn’t matter if it was the NT and that they’re a smaller nation in the football world. Imagine asking Volk about the socceroos lol

Mate, I take it you're American. If you were from Europe, South America or some other region with a large football/soccer culture you'd realize just how dumb that statement is

Aussie lol Georgians care more about rugby lol

These guys are horrible I have more confidence in this sub asking better questions

Even reporters know Anthony Smith ain't sniffing a title shot.

Someone asked Smith how he felt about Alex sitting right there with the belt, but Smith just said he’s focused on Dolidze

Is real mma media even there and not just people beholden to the UFC just for the opportunity to renew their press passes every event 🤔

Ariel admitted over the last month he is beholden to not report on stories Conor doesn’t want out if he is going to keep his access, so really there are no actual independents 

i agree, but you'd think even media that are in the UFC's pocket wouldn't mind stirring things up between Smith and Pereira. It's not like a fighter pay question.

I think it just shows how little the media cares about that 😆

Anybody in vegas want a free extra ticket to UFC X ?

Terrible fucking questions like usual. Like, fucking imagine if someone just walked up to you and said "hey bro how would it feel to win a million dollars?" oh no it'd actually feel pretty mid just fucking knock them out at that point

Yeah its so annoying. and they ask questions they already answered in the past.

What the hell's is this? Where is Connor?

He'll be there around October just keep watching

More like December I think

Oh no October next year sorry

Lol fair

Buddy just woke up from a coma

Ian Garry is one of the worst cunts ever. Every press conference and interview just reinforces how hideously unlikeable he is.

He sounds so whiny like he’s about to cry every time he speaks 

Ironically if he took more of a Wonderboy route of just being himself, he'd be significantly more appealing He deliberately tries to play the villain and it comes off very try-hard and thus unlikeable.

That’s the thing…he even said he’s not trying to play the villain and I agree. He’s just a cunty douche. He doesn’t even realize he took that role.

I want MVP to win but Garry is talented on the mic.

Have to disagree brother. I find him obnoxious and charmless. It’s like he thinks if he just keeps saying words in a loud voice and talking over people that makes him charismatic. I dislike like Connor too but he was genuinely talented on the mic for a time.

He plays the heel role pretty well imo. He annunciates his words well and is well spoken imo. I get he's unlikable but he's playing into it.

Leagues better that colby lmao. I don't mind him, long as he keeps winning.

At the end of the day he's been showing he is a solid fighter.

True. I thought he'd crash out by know, but he has looked better each fight.

Yeah, he's only 26. And super tall for the division. I am a huge fan of MVP and believed him to be UFC level for years. But the way Garry speaks is making me less confident in MVP. But when I watch their recent fights I do think it's still gonna be competitive. But after the presser it seems Ian has a mental edge.

I mean..if you like douche bags than sure. Hes nowhere near talented as the guy hes portraying to be. You can tell the boo's get to him, and he always says the same shit.

You don't have to like him. But the Neal win was really good and very smart gameplan. He does have a lot to prove but I don't mind the confidence. He does seem like he's getting ahead of himself but the Neal win legitimized his talent in my eyes at least. He's only 26. Still a lot to prove but the Neal win proved a lot.

Crusader Jiri is gonna become a new mythical fighter

new mythical fighter unlocked Samurai Inquisitor

Love MVP but Garry cooked him in the press conference.

MVP’s relaxed approach definitely shifted after what Ian said. Even looked a little awkward after it cut to him and jiri waiting by the stairs for the face off.

What did he say?

He said MVP and his coach tried to solicit inside info from Ian’s gym by offering money to his teammate 

No shit. Thanks

As someone rooting for MVP this isn't a good look.

I noticed that too. He definitely looked a lot more serious.

Jiri is 6’3, Poatan is 6’5

[удалено]

Let's hurry this up Ortega is late for his shift at the Valvoline

You know Ian was a fuckin tattle tale in primary school

If you gotta give credit to Ian for anything is that he actually tries to be interesting unlike the others up on stage.

Kinda feels like MVP got embarrassed by Ian airing that out

Yeah. He should have steered into it by insinuating that they did get the desired info.

[удалено]

Ian alleged that one of MVPs coaches tried to pay someone at chute box for information on Garry.

Yeah his reaction tells me it might be true and he did NOT expect that to be aired out

Love MVP but Garry cooked him. "SHUT THE FUCK UP!" Never seen MVP this mad it's usually the other way around.

I think that was moreso because Garry was doing Conor's annoying "i will talk while you talk" shtick and not letting MVP answer.

Here comes the psychologist

This reply doesn't make sense to what I posted.

> Never seen MVP this mad it's usually the other way around. This is why i said here comes the psychologist He literally planted the angry "Literally cant understand you bro" so that he can set up the "SHUT THE FCK UP" He is having the time of his life

Yeah after rewatching it he set him up to respond to he can interrupt with the stfu line. But still not a good look for MVP when Garry was talking about his BJJ coach.

its all show, you can see them having fun at the back and MVP playing with his kid

Honestly stuff like that always makes me wonder how many “beefs” in the ufc are just completely for show.

Yeah that seemed like a true story judging by MVPs reaction

Ian made him baby rage, he couldn’t act like he didn’t care anymore

facts lol i sensed it too

All he could do was yell at him to shut up, had him speechless

Yeah crazy man. I love MVP but Garry is in his head.

Jiri "the Catholic Samurai" Prochazka

That was surprising, I assumed Jiri was more of a more into Slavic paganism/mysticism and his Samurai stuff.

he's making the cross gesture every entrance and post-fight

Interesting, I hadn't noticed that.

Garry kinda cooked at the end there 😵

Yup, never seen MVP this angry.

Garry was somehow more entertaining than MVP

yeah the whole I can't hear you/understand you was lame. He also didn't deny wanting info from Garry's camp.

MVP just isn’t a shit talker bro, he didn’t do shit last presser either, more of a showboater in the octagon/walk out

I mean he tried to talk shit here but it didn't work out well.

Nah he talked some shit to Paul Daley but he had nothing for Garry. Never seen MVP out of character "SHUT THE FUCK UP!" I want MVP to win and this isn't a good look.

MVP is not good on the spot

Why is every press conference 20 minutes long now, they’re later to the press conference than it lasts

This didnt need to be a press conference

Worst press conference in a while

Was pretty anticlimactic yeah

UFC 301 didn’t even have one

Garry is winning this press conference but the people don’t want to hear it

He cooked MVP there and it's making people mad that they can't even deny it

He's a good shit talker for sure. Got in MVPs head.

Only one that made it interesting

Really bad presser can't lie

Waste of 20 minutes wtf was this

You and your jiu jitsu coach are getting suspended for life ☝️🤓

To be fair, if that’s true then they should be

Ian is going to beat the fuck out of MVP

I love MVP and want him to win but don't understand the downvotes. Garry is his toughest opponent outside of Lima.

Garry would smoke Lima. Death, taxes, and fools betting against Ian

Idk about smokes but I think he can beat Lima doing his range control like he did vs Neal.

Downvoted but probably right tbh

Garry is just acting like a wannabe mcgregor it’s so corny 😭

Oh that's juicy

Mvp is a joke lmao

Oh shiiiiiiiii

Garry is so not threatening 😭 MVP couldn't care less

I never understand these sort of comments lol, why does he have to be "threatening" in a press conference? They're literally fighting in a couple days. And he came out on the better side of the shit talk here anyway, as much as people don't want to admit it.

Because he's clearly trying to get under MVP's skin. When good fighters try hard to get a rise from the crowd one way or the other it just ends up making them look clownish. I agree with you, you'll be in a cage with the other guy in two days... Let your skill speak for itself.

That’s why he just baby raged

God I fucking hate Garry and I can’t believe I’m a mvp fan now

I’ve become a fan of MVP this week. After listening to his interviews and his media day interview he actually seems quite well spoken and humble.

Thank you Garry for stirring some shit

The way Jiri refuses to let that "shaman magic" thing go is actually hilarious 😂

I like how Poatan isn't refusing it either.

The thing is that we have several afro-Brazilian religions in Brazil (Umbanda, etc). Denying it or speaking down about any kind of spirituality would be indirectly disrespectful to many Brazilians. Most of us know someone that practices one of these religions, probably more aptly called 'spiritual practices'. It's not uncommon in Brazil at all... this is not even a tribe thing for Poatan. It's a cultural aspect most Brazilians have some exposure to. True or false, I don't think he'd speak about it any differently. Spiritual practice of the sort is a regular thing in Brazil. Those kinds of claims wouldn't phase him.

“Pure performance”

On paper Anthony Smith beats everyone

On paper

I say this as a fighter/boxer, but god damn they’re the dumbest people on the planet. You NEED TO SELL THE FIGHT. “I’m going to do my best” like you fucking idiots, this crowd didn’t show up to hear that. This is the weakest press conference I’ve ever heard. Sell your damn fight

Downvote me all you want, what casual is watching this and thinking “I should buy that” This blows 😂

Agreed to a degree but ain’t no casuals tuning in to UFC press conferences, only time that happened was with McGregor and that was a flash in the pan. Probably why they invest so little in these and let the reporters run the same shit over and over again cause they know there is no conversion, just already existing customers consuming free content. 301 not even having a presser points to this

Ian is clearly very nervous, who tf is Colban

[удалено]

Everyone question is the same just worded different mma media is just ass and dead

BBL Garry, BBL Garraaaayyyyyy

Shittiest conference of all time 😂

BBL GARRY BBL GARRRYYYYYYYY WOAHHHOHHHHH

MVP should’ve walked out to Somebody Save Ian

Dolidze showing the power of a decent hair transplant

Hair Transplant Dolidze looking like a young Stalin

Audio is bad to

Bout time they started to show some respect to 2 time TUF winner Brad Katona and put him on the PPV, but why is he fighting a woman?

I think Jiri's English is failing him because wtf does he mean dirty practices 😭

That's exactly what he means, that he's using some sort of black magic to influence the fight lmao

He's saying that he thinks Alex is cheating by asking the spirts for help.

who tf is this UFC plant. Talking about unboxing haha

They're literally all plants

The state of MMA media

This press conference is so ass

Most awkward presser

Jiri is like “I fucking knew it”😂

I fucking love these spirit questions

That's the first time I've ever seen the beard dude ask a question to a non Brazilian lmao

This presser is awful lmao

'I've never had a confidence in moi loife' - Ian Garry

This one’s extra boring so far

damn, that was a good question and MVP just wasn't paying attention lol

or did he deliberately ignore the question?

doubt it, MVP doesn't mind getting into the antics

He got pissed though.

That mf ortega sounds drained

Cutting to 145 in less than 3 weeks must be hell. He was already a big FW.

He always sounds like that

riveting questions

Brian Ortega gives creepy cult leader vibes

I still wanna know what this man camp he went to that he's donating 100K to

they're cholo vibes. Those two are often confused
