Amazing journey. What a story. The guy is pretty much the MC. I hope he gets a pretty good ending.

Lemme tell you something bout a story of Charles Oliveira’s career in fighting.

When he debuted in 2010, he was a low-mid tier nobody in the UFC that frequently loses fights and was once a quitter over some injury mid fight. But one day… After he married his woman back in 2014 and her wife gave birth to their first child in 2017, Charles Oliveira somehow underwent dramatic transformation and chose to become one of the greatest fighters ever because he was severely motivated by his daughter.

It’s prettily inspirational how becoming a father made him the spectacular phenom that he is today.

This is some deep deep movie/anime main character storyline shit. Chama! 👊

I hope he gets well from his injury last year and Makhachev rematch gets rebooked again this year hopefully. I’m suddenly thirsty for Islam vs. Oliveira after hearing this article.

@Count Oxymagomedov Sear
Man’s living the life. Can’t hate him for that at least.

Jeez, this man’s diet would kill a normal man.

…how tf does he make himself go from a jacked Beatles member to Chris Griffin then back to being jacked during fight week?

Jorge Masvidal is back.

Boxing side again: so Manny Pacquiao after fighting Buakaw Banchamek this July will fight Floyd Mayweather after this. Said it himself.

@Count Oxymagomedov Sear
Lol but is fine.
Welcome to the Deen, brozza Gerontay Davis.

If he really wants to be a true Islam, he needs to get rid all of that stupid tats.

His first haram. 😂😂😂😂😂

On the boxing side: so Gervonta Davis has converted to Muslim. His new Islamic name is now Abdul Wahid.

Good for him!

@Count Oxymagomedov Sear
Huh.
Well okay then. Good for him :D Alhamdulillah.

Islam Makhachev is 2023 Men’s Fighter Of The Year.

Allahu Akbar!

Here is Alex Pereira’s cryptic Instagram story:

Is he moving up to Heavyweight to become a triple champ at UFC 300? Or is he demanding a Adesanya trilogy at that same venue since Izzy hints returning…?

So Izzy is unhiatusing probably next year and his opponent…

If Tony fights and loses again for the 8th time, he will claim the longest losing streak in UFC history.

Currently, he’s tied with BJ Penn.

Tony, brother, you’re abusing yourself waaaaay too much…

😭

@Count Oxymagomedov Sear
Ok very nice! I guess he do want ufc 300 to be special

Uncle Dana just dropped the first confirmed fights for UFC 300.

Jiří Procházka vs. Aleksandar Rakić
Aljamain Sterling vs. Calvin Kattar
Bo Nickal vs. Cody Brundage

All that could be just prelims so… SHIEEEEET already fire af 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

I think DDP would flat out destroy Strickland.

Strickland may have dominated Izzy but couldn’t finish him. Meanwhile Dricus just systematically whacked Whittaker in under 2 rounds because he fights explosively and relentlessly.

Also forgot that Michael “Venom” Page, a ex-Bellator now free agent prospect has signed with UFC. He fights Kevin Holland on UFC 299.

Every fighter under Khabib’s or Abdulmanap’s wing have high percentage of becoming a champion. My personal fact.

Leon Edwards is doomed.

@Count Oxymagomedov Sear
Wow.
Just…
Wow.
Khabib’s father really was the GOAT. Man was basically a anime sensei. The fighting world really lost a legend with his unfortunate passing.

It all makes sense now why Shavkat is soo good.

He was a former student of Khabib’s father Abdulmanap Nurmagomedov during his MMA debut.

Hahaha most of the fighters in that seats were shocked and disappointed at this fight meanwhile Volk enjoyed all that chaos and was smiling the whole time.

I got sum really satisfying news for ya: Colby Covington is finally losing his fans. 😎 All that shit talk about someone else’s family, let alone a deceased one really hit the karma back on him. Trump even walked out of that arena when Colby was being interviewed.

Colby’s performance there was shit. Leon didn’t get what he planned to do by KOing him but sure did he outclassed him.

@tehwatever
They ARE going to fight next month lol.

Dana intentionally sitted them close to each other to hype the fight.

UFC is like the WWE these days.
