Plus, despite his surname, he hasn't brought neither any excitement nor any notable win to justify him fighting in a PPV card, and should be cut after this fiasco against Bryce.Have no idea what Kron Gracie is even doing. I can understand UFC just using him for his name. Been givien the luxery of cherry picked opponents and has shown absolutely zero legitimate interest in fighting. Id say he's doing it for the paycheck, but cant imagine he's getting paid much either.

Re: MMA
I have watched that podcast and I feel amazed at how someone with a slight bit of common sense could believe some of the things he has written, looking like something out of Rambo II/III; the veteran debunking that stuff was admirable in keeping his calm and not calling him out for his delusional attitude.Tinnie wrote: ↑09 Dec 2024, 00:28 Shit going down with Tim Kennedy the last few days. Not sure the of the exact details.
Apparently some military guys did a podcast doing a deep dive into Kennedy, dubunking a bunch wild of claims and military achievements Kennedy had made in his book and speaking publicly over the years.
Kennedy made a response video, which i saw, not knowing what had happened.
Apparently he didnt address, or clear up, any of the serious allegations. He then complained to YT and got an 18+ age restriction slapped on the podcast about him. This sent the military/special forces/ green beret ect. youtubers into a frenzy and he seems to be at the bottom of a massive pile on at the moment.
Re: MMA
Yeah ive not seen the podcast, or read his book. Just some shorter response/opinion vids that came up on my YT feed, so didnt want to pretend i knew the whole deal.JxhDel. wrote: ↑14 Dec 2024, 17:46I have watched that podcast and I feel amazed at how someone with a slight bit of common sense could believe some of the things he has written, looking like something out of Rambo II/III; the veteran debunking that stuff was admirable in keeping his calm and not calling him out for his delusional attitude.Tinnie wrote: ↑09 Dec 2024, 00:28 Shit going down with Tim Kennedy the last few days.

I did listen to him on Rogan a coupla years back. He was talking about being part of a team that was pulling civilian allies out of Afghanistan before the Taliban regained control of the country. Now i remember at the time not wanting to think he was full of shit, given the seriousness of what was happening over there. But the way events played out in his own words really did, like you said, sound like it was a script for a Rambo movie.
So i wasnt particularly surprised when the allegations came out. Will have to check out the podcast at some point.
Re: MMA
Well Tim Kennedy cant seem to catch a break at the moment. Just as the fallout from the Antihero podcast had just begin to simmer down, he is back under the spotlight with his association with the cybertruck beret in Vegas. Both partnered in a military themed reality tv show on the History channel. To add salt to the wound the Antihero Podcast dropped a second installment focused on Kennedy in the last coupla days.

Re: MMA
Merab derailing Nurmagomedov was a beautiful sight to behold. Umar claiming Merab had been avoiding him was so laughable. Merab turned up the heat in the last 3 rounds and made Umar look like he had run a triathlon. I was so happy to see Eagles MMA suffer a defeat.
Makhachev's submission was impressive but it looked to me for the short time that it lasted that Moicano had better standup and that is why Islam decided to take it to the ground, which is smart. Why play to your opponent's strength? I still dislike Islam though. He comes across as a very dull personality without any ounce of humour.

Re: MMA
I didn't watch it but the Adesanya KO is shocking to me. He has really declined since the Strickland loss. Since then he has been submitted and KO'd. To think he was calling out Jon Jones not that long ago was quite farcical.

Re: MMA
Strickland did well to go the distance given what happened to his nose. Really are tough as old boots some of these MMA lads.

Busted beak is painful for sure and the first time can be a lot of blood. The ability to brush off the pain and stay focused and keep rocking is one trait of fighters that makes them a breed apartTheRiverCityHippy wrote: ↑16 Feb 2025, 13:20 Strickland did well to go the distance given what happened to his nose.
