This might not be news to anyone, but Dana White seems to be a pathological liar:

“You’ll never see me involved in politics. I want nothing to do with politics.”

Dana White spoke in favor of Trump at the 2016 RNC, the 2020 RNC, and the 2024 RNC.

It also came out in Johnson v Zuffa that Dana White doesn’t even do the matchmaking or contract negotiations at UFC. He’s effectively a hype man at this point.

I can’t help but feel his entire persona was built on a house of cards.

For years, Dana White’s persona has been built around being the ultimate tough guy promoter and something of a pioneer, but Dana White seems to be more of a personality whose image has been carefully cultivated rather than a genuinely highly-skilled leader.

I was watching Zuffa 13 yesterday and it was quite possibly one of the most poorly thought out, poorly constructed shows I’ve seen from a major promoter in the sport. Even Max Kellerman couldn’t do the hard-sell on the event because its quality was so poor.

All of this brings to mind that perhaps the greatest thing Dana White has promoted is not the UFC or Zuffa Boxing, but himself.

I made this post over four years ago, and am excited that it's likely to happen. Maybe even in their next fight. Where does everyone see this going? People seemed to favor Munguia quite a bit back then, but I always thought it could go either way. It's not letting me create a poll on mobile, so sound off in the comments!

I will be conducting a tournament containing some of the best LHWs of recent years. I purposely did not add any fighters in from before the 80s due to limited footage.

Two fights will be posted daily and the winners will move on until we have a champion.

Lastly, the fighters were not manually matched. All names were put into a randomizer and refreshed 3 times, then the bracket was made from where they were set after the third shake.

----------------------------------

#RULES

Due to there being no poll option, winner will be decided through reasonable comments. Just simply commenting “___ wins” will not suffice and answers will have to be somewhat detailed (atleast 2 sentences).

If there is a tie between voting comments for both competing fighters, the very most upvoted comment will be the deciding factor on which fighter moves on.

Voting is concluded after 24 hours

Each fighter has a year attached to their name. The year is only a suggestion for when you should consider them at their best. If you believe the mentioned fighter has a different peak, you may debate in their favor using a different time period, but it has to be when they were at Light Heeavyweight.

The fighters are only credited with wins they have at LHW and any weight class they competed at before moving up to LHW. Any fights from a higher weight class should not be taken into consideration.

All fighters will be at their absolute peaks for their time periods so there will be no illness/sickness, weight draining problems, or disqualifications.

Roy Jones: Antonio Tarver, Montell Griffin, Virgil Hill

There's only one week to go till my charity boxing match for Young Lives vs Cancer! Time is ticking by fast as I’m making my final preparations for the match and getting into fight shape.

Young Lives vs Cancer is a charity close to my heart and has does amazing work across the UK, helping children with cancer diagnoses and their families cope.

They helped our family cope when my niece was born with leukemia last year, without their support a terrible time may have turned catastrophic.

If you’d like to support them and sponsor me please click the link on the top of my profile to sponsor me, any size of donation would be appreciated

Much love everyone, may the force be with you.

Interesting, seems like Usyk was telling Canelo not to practice 100’s of different combinations but really nail down 2-3 and make them very good.

Canelo’s performance against Mbili was one of his best ever imo, even those GGG fights, I thought Canelo never looked better. He was actually throwing volume, which he hasnt done in years and I don’t think really ever, but it was especially bad the past few fights. Would you guys agree with me that his Mbili fight was one of his best performances of all time? Or would you say he performed even better in some of his older fights?
