Some people will never know that Perc Angle was an absurdly good wrestler.

A lot of hardcore pro-wrestling fans know. It his WWF run, they were always stories of how Kurt Angle bodying everyone in the locker room in actual wrestling. The only person that could give him any sort of challenge was Lesnar and Paul Wight. Paul Wight was just soo damned strong, I remember Angle remaking that if he was trained in the proper technique he'd be damn near unstoppable.

Well, since the boxing scene is in shambles (at least for the heavyweights). Yet here we are...

Don't know how that's gonna happen. Is Usyk going to cut like 30 pounds?

 

He was joking. He was mocking Fury for fighting Ngannou instead of him. It says it in the article you linked.

Did anyone else watch Fury vs. Ngannou? I was expecting Fury to cook a fish out of water Ngannou. I've never been happier to be wrong. Ngannou was tactical. He dropped Fury. And, most surprisingly. He had Fury gassing first. For all the talk of Ngannou possibly using some MMA tactics. It was Fury that actually landed an elbow that official missed. He kept initiating the clinch, which I thought was a bad idea, and it was. Ngannou had the advantage their. All respect in the world to Francis. He arguably won the fight. 

 

Dana White during the fight...

Francis didn't fumble the bag, Dana did. Instead of getting a cut of this fight, like the UFC got with Conors, he got zilch. Francis is going to get other boxing fights after this and the UFC could have been getting their cut.

Francis Ngannou is like Little Mac fighting against Anthony Joshua's Mike Tyson

 

 

 

 

So you know that Tyson Fury has no chance against Oleksander Usyk. That's why Fury keeps delaying, delaying, delaying. Let's look at facts. Joshua lost to Usyk twice. Ngannou almost beat Fury. Joshua squashed Ngannou. What chance does Fury have? If Fury beats Usyk then Joshua will certainly squash Fury!!!

 

Oh, and maybe, just maybe, Mike Tyson will squash Jake Paul like Little Mac (wishful thinking, I know)!!!

MIGHTY MOUSE JUST RETIRED. 

 

He’s the first inductee into the One Championship Hall of Fame. To call him the GOAT is an understatement. He’s truly the greatest, if not simply one of them. He’s in my top 3, and he should be in yours too. 

 

Now, the previous generation’s greatest fighters are down one. Only Jon Jones remains. Soon, he will be gone too, and I expect Alex Pereira to step up and take that role.

Superlek is now a two sport world champion! He did Johnathan Haggerty in during the first minute of the opening round to secure his 13th win in his current win streak.

 

For a mortal man to have taken out both Rodtang and Haggerty within a year is mythical. He will always remain a legend now.

 

All hail the new king of striking.
