2025 MMA General Discussion and Fight Announcements

Jalin Turner pretty much admitting Kerry Hatley making him kill Bobby Green and the resulting blowback he got from it took away his love for what he did (also explains why he didn’t follow up on Moicano).

I don’t blame him, only a sociopath would be able to punch an unconscious guy 15 times and not be bothered by it

Reminds me of Urijah Hall almost murdering that kid on TUF then never really looking the same or throwing that technique again.

Good on Turner for having that awareness because a lot of guys put their body and brain in harms way doing stuff that their heart isn't in. Mature decision to retire.

100%

I honestly thought he won both split decisions he lost too (against hooker and Gamrot). People don’t realize how close to a title fight he could have been. He clearly isn’t in it mentally anymore and I’m glad he checked out before he got himself really hurt. Seems like a really good dude.

Probably doesn't help that Green got ktfo again on the same card as his final fight. Respect to Turner though, it's nice to see someone go out a little early vs late.

Former two-time UFC heavyweight champion Cain Velasquez was sentenced to five years in prison for the attempted shooting of the man accused of molesting Velasquez's then 4-year-old son.

Looks like he’ll serve about 1-1.5 more years overall after being credited with time served

Overall he’s quite fortunate with this sentence- prosecutor wanted 30 but I think the judge was sympathetic (and who with a soul wouldn’t be)

Can't condone the shooting rampage, but if the dude is found guilty I'd have no qualms about having them share a cell for at least a little while.

Feel like it has been an underwhelming year so far.

Also really hate how Aspinall is having to sit out for so long because of Jones. If it wasn't for Jones holding up the division Aspinall would be far more active. But I don't blame him for waiting for his title shot. No point going out defending the interim title. Ludicrous he had to do it once.

HW is also terrible with no intriguing matchups besides Jones vs Aspinall, so the ball is fully in the champ's court. Hopefully Aspinall puts him away for good and we can get some life back into the division.

Tom has defended the belt already and the sad thing is that Jon has fought since Aspinall won the interim belt... He just refused to fight the interim champ, instead he fought a 3+ year retired 40 year old coming off of a loss, who only had 2 opponents since 2017 (7 years).

The HW division finally had some legs to it with Aspinall but the UFC allowed Jon to destroy all of its momentum.

The UFC should’ve never booked Tom and Pavlovich for the interim belt

Why? So the UFC can continue to appease Jones?

They should have never booked Stipe vs. Jones.

People were calling that fight an utter joke years before it actually happened.

Also not MMA related but imo appropriate in the MMA section of a hockey board.
UFC figher Mike Malott’s brother had his first NHL fight tonight.
He did previously have a good fight in the preseason against Liam O’Brian.

If he’s anything like his brother Carlo should’ve just let him gas himself out and then gone to work

Not sure if we discussed this or not yet but I don't care who you are, the name value alone makes these a ton of fun.

I'm still not 100% convinced these fights actually happen but I'll probably end up going to one of these cards if the tickets are cheap enough

Yeah I'm on the same page I don't see it getting off the ground or if it does I don't think it lasts. The second card is supposed to be in NYC area so I'll try to go but like you I'm not spending big $$$ for it.
