MMA On Point - Podcast

Records are meant to be broken, even the longest standing MMA records ever. No one is safe!

It's tough enough to get to the top of the mountain. It's even tough to get finishes on the way up, but to command the kind of fear these champions did over their entire reigns is entirely due to their stopping power every second of every fight. That's what makes them the real BMFs. The best fighters on the planet who destroyed their opposition time in and time out.

The BMF title was originally an awesome idea, organically created by Nate Diaz calling out Jorge Masvidal. It was supposed to be a 1-of-1 specialty attraction based on the style of both guys, but then the UFC just had to go on and corporatize it and yea... run it into the ground. Max Holloway made it worth it with some of his performances, but a few of them now have spectacularly failed and none worse than this last one. Oliveira was being told to fight in a style different from what he does, and this is just dumb.

MMA isn't exactly what you would consider a very forgiving sport, but sometimes, the stars just seem to align and with only a single things not only reverse, but perhaps could go better if you had full control of things. These are the most perfectly timed MMA/UFC wins ever.

The UFC has created a lot of enemies over the years, but none perhaps closer to their brand publicly than their own commentators. These are the times the commentators got into it with either Dana themselves, the UFC policies and on many occassions meant they were let go from their position.
