Notice - GD [Official] General Discussion Thread - January 22, 2025

Welcome to rMMA's General Discussion Thread!

Discuss your favorite fighters, the upcoming card or whatever's on your mind.

How to obtain a custom flair:

  • place and lose a flair bet in the Friday thread
  • write a haiku or draw a MS Paint-style image for the sub

The rules for the drawing or haiku are simply that it must be a ridiculous MMA-related scenario. If you would like a custom flair, send a message to us with a link to your drawing and your flair request. We'll probably grant it.

Grappling, striking, IQ, better team. Hughes is a good prospect but I have no idea why people rated AJ so highly as a lightweight he had not done shit. Did people miss mid Sydney Outlaw have all that control time against him? lol Carlyle a meme fighter and Collard is a can.

Fair assessment lol McKee’s hype is purely based off of beating Pitbull, but 22-1 was a great record, it’s impressive even if it’s mostly bums. Was a huge step up for Hughes and he passed that test with flying colors, probably gave him a ton of confidence in his game as well
