All things UFC/MMA/Boxing related can go in here and when I say here I mean, the octagon, square or circle.

Queue them blaming CTE in 3...2....1......

It's all Brock's fault... the F5 on a steel chair must have really done some damage!

 

Guy is a former UFC HW champion and he has to use a gun?   Couldn't he just double leg take down the dad and lay some G'N'P instead of using a gun ?

Since leaving the UFC, the Winnipegger has been fighting in the Middle East and has done well for himself.

That's super sad considering how he was doing lately after going through so many struggles in his life.

Not really "allegedly" since Masvidal decided to post a self-incriminating video on social media bragging about it shortly after the incident.  He's a Trump supporter so he's clearly not the brightest guy out there and made it pretty easy for the cops.

Shocked he got up and was able (or even allowed) to stand while Chandler got his hand raised..  He was down for quite a while.

That's a ending that makes you rethink about what you do for a living, even when he got up he was still out of it

I'm sure it's 100% coincidence that 2.1 million WWE shares were sold mere hours before the WSJ story came out (that's  only 1.5 million more than an average day for their stock).   🤔

Might be enough for the owners of the UFC to bid adieu to White then again in some circles it will make him more popular

Former UFC Fighter Phil Baroni Arrested For Allegedly Killing Girlfriend

Baroni reportedly told police his girlfriend repeatedly hit her head when he forced her into the shower after she admitted to cheating on him.
Former UFC fighter Phil Baroni has been arrested in Mexico and charged with murder after his girlfriend, who has been identified by authorities only as Paola, was found dead on New Year’s Day, according to The Associated Press.

While the AP said the official police report offered sparse details, local newspaper Tribuna de la Bahía reports that Baroni, 46, flagged down officers in the town of San Francisco — also known as San Pancho — and told them his girlfriend was unconscious in their hotel room.

Paola was found bruised and unresponsive in bed covered by a sheet, according to Tribuna. The outlet reports that Baroni told police the two had begun arguing around 3 p.m. after he had been smoking marijuana and drinking beer and Paola revealed having cheated on him.

Damn weed cuz no way it's the socially accepted alcohol that turns people into raging lunatics. 

 

Honestly most these ufc guys backgrounds aren't great.. so it's no surprise 

Baroni was always a bit unhinged but a lot of people close to him have said he's gone way downhill the last few years.  Former UFC champ Josh Barnett shared his experience from a few years ago (2019) where he had to cut ties with Phil because of his erratic behaviour.

 

 

 

This isn't anything new,  look at how many boxers have gone insane from CTE mixed with drug and booze addictions.

Same as football players or anyone who repeatedly takes blows to the head really.

Not everyone shows signs though and even fewer go completely off the deep end like this.  Now that more and more athletes are donating their brains to science when they pass, it'll be interesting to see what (if anything) the research shows in that regard.
