How do you convince a non-MMA fan that this cute-looking lady could absolutely put your lights out? 😭 #UFC #MMA

If Amanda Nunes comes back with even 50% of what she used to be, Kayla Harrison is cooked. 😭 #UFC334 #MMA

You'd never guess which one of them was the former middleweight. The speed difference is insane. 😮‍💨 #UFC334 #MMA

Imagine if Umar never injured his hand against Merab.👀 Merab couldn't finish him and was getting his ass lit up by a one-handed Umar. That DECISION MACHINE only won through showboating. The UFC needs to run this back. Umar has to avenge that robbery. #UFC #MMA
Merab fans, you finally get your chance to get your hands on Usman Nurmagomedov 😭 You can now jump into a game and beat him up. And apparently, there's a surprise gift waiting if you win 👀

People forget Merab is a HOTHEAD who constantly gets into altercations and always wants to lay his hands on people. He started this whole thing by attacking a Dagestani who wasn't even looking his way, then went on to insult his mother. Now he's playing the victim because karma came back to bite him. There's no justifying Merab's actions here. He brought this one on himself.

I understand why Usman was angry. Merab constantly talks shit about his brother whenever he gets the chance, and I can see why that would get under his skin. As a fighter, he should know better than to let personal issues escalate into something like this. It reflects poorly on his character, and he should be ashamed of how he handled the situation. He's also putting the reputation of Dagestani fighters in a bad light. Khabib won't be pleased when he hears about this. 😶

It's ironic how whenever a situation involves someone from Dagestan, people suddenly throw logic and objectivity out the window. Merab DID assault a Dagestani wrestler and insult his mother. Are we just supposed to ignore that? When Khabib slapped Artem and Conor attacked his bus, people had no problem criticizing Khabib. Now that Usman has confronted Merab over his treatment of a fellow Dagestani, suddenly the standards have changed. The double standards in this sport are ridiculous. Smh.
🚨 Islam Makhachev released a statement defending Usman Nurmagomedov after he attacked Merab Dvalishvili: “To those who are now condemning Usman and the guys and insulting them: why were you silent when Merab hit a Dagestani wrestler for no reason and insulted his honor? The man approached him to talk with no ill intent. What happened today was started by Merab in his own homeland when he took it upon himself to hit a guest and insult his mother.”

Merab should've included the context behind the attack in his video. Here's Merab grabbing Umar's friend by the neck and smacking the shit out of him after being confronted over his comments about Umar. Wouldn't be surprised if this incident played a role in what happened at the hotel.
Was doing an interview for RAF in hotel lobby and Usman and his buddies came up from behind and started punching me and my young friend. Security was holding me - They kept kicking us when we were down like losers.

Hokit SCRAPPING his wrestling and choosing to trade hands with Blaydes. 😮‍💨 All three rounds LOOKED LIKE a professional bar fight. Two heavyweight savages going to war. An absolute heavyweight classic. A fight worthy of the Hall of Fame. 🔥 #UFC334 #MMA

🚨Ciryl Gane says he won’t celebrate his achievements until the day he retires, following his father’s example. 😳 🗣️ “You never see me celebrate, because it’s never over. I think I’ll celebrate my retirement. I’ll do what my father did. He celebrated when he retired. That’s when I’ll celebrate. Before that, there’s no point. 🗣️But hold on, not celebrating doesn’t mean I don’t enjoy the moment inside. 🗣️People often tell me, ‘Enjoy it!’ I do enjoy it. These are things that add to my confidence and help build who I am. But I’m not the excitable type while it’s not over.” Via: @RMCSportCombat

Topuria vs. Gaethje, but the video cuts off the moment things start going south for Ilia. #UFCWhiteHouse

“No man who beats off to cartoons is beating me.” Sean Strickland stood on business and backed up every word. He walked Izzy down, dropped him in the first round and outlanded him 137-94 in significant strikes. Still one of the biggest upsets in UFC history. 🔥

Juliana Peña charging in thinking she could pull off the Ngannou vs. Rozenstruik-style blitz. 😭 You can almost see Nunes pause like, "WTF is she doing?" before catching her with that beautiful counter. #UFC334 #MMA
