The real magic of Alex Pereira

There's no doubt about it. The real heavyweight champion of the world is not Jon Jones but in fact, Tom Aspinall. Jones hasn't competed in over 500 days and has yet to defend his title a single time. What is the point of an undisputed belt when it is so fully and completely disputed? Jones can fight Stipe Miocic in November, but that ain't the real belt.

Why is Belal Muhammad just now getting his title shot against Leon Edwards at UFC 304? Well it probably has something to do with the silly excuses the UFC made to put Colby Covington in there against Edwards first. Turns out there are a ton other fights just like this.

As Paddy Pimblett enters into UFC 304 fight week, he's doing so with perhaps the most pressure he's ever felt in his career and the most disdain from the fanbase as well. But this is not the worst moment of his career, that's already happened.

There comes a point in every fighter's career where it's clear they just don't have it anymore. In these cases, all of the fighters chose to push through and continue their careers. From are perspective, these are the exact moments they should have called it quits.

What we told you the first martial art to start MMA is being erased? It's not jiu jitsu, it's not amateur wrestling, sambo and it's not any of the striking arts you know. It's something that goes beyond it all and in fact, created many of those combat disciplines. It even leads directly to some the UFC's champions like Tom Aspinall.

You would think as a fighter that the craziest scenario you'll face the day of your fight will involve your opponent. In all these cases something else at the event totally changed that around. If you don't know what I mean, check out the video. A perfect example was Dricus Du Plessis vs Sean Strickland in the crowd of course.

MMA was pretty much founded on the premise that the best techniques for real life situations prevail. In the cases though, you got people like Valentina Shevchenko telling people not to drink water. What even is this sport?
