Could happen. They said they're looking to put teams in cities that arent dominated by a major sports team so who knows.

By that Enzo guy. Send in that video then. Like I said if I weighed 190 and was a bit taller I'd do it.

SO the superfight between Shawn Porter and Keith Thurman is currently on hiatus with the March 12 event being cancelled. What a bummer. Thurman was in a car accident and hurt is neck. Hopefully he'll be alright and heal with little to no lingering after-effects. He's legit my favorite Welter right now(followed closely by Porter, Brook and Bradley). Get well soon

So Santa Cruz and Terence Crawford both win their title defenses in round 5 in 2.09 minutes of said round, vs Kiko Martinez and Hank Lundy respectively.
Scott Quigg and Carl Frampton have a good back and fourth match that results in a Frampton victory by a split decision.

NFL man. It's crazy. Very concerned about all the releases the Falcons are making. Like why cut Roddy White but keep Devin Hester? and William Moore is still one of the best safties in the league; Given i have full confidence Kemal can fill the void as he has shown he's a quality starting safety in the league already, Willymo was one of my favorite football players on the team. They're gonna have to retool everything.

NFL fans, who are you hoping your team drafts/signs in free agency?

Because Roddy Whites production as an every down player had diminished while Devin Hester is primarily a special teams guy.

I have to agree, but Also Rodney whites contract was ridiculous given his production values.

Also Devin Hester is one of the most explosive returners in the league wish a small base salary.

I am hoping my Jaguars get Joey Bosa in the draft

Speaking of the Falcons....

Falcons asked draft prospect Apple if he is gay

How do you feel about your NFL teams FA moves?

Karlos Dansby was released by the Browns and the Falcons desperately need a MLB, and linebackers in general for that matter. I don't think they sign him though.

All in All i like the additions though. But Kyle Shanahan has to go. Dude is loser who refuses to change his ways.

MMA has finally been legalized in New York. Won't be long before we see a major show in Madison Square Garden.

Bellator has been in talks with venues in NY already. Barcleys center namely. Scott Coker said he looks forward to going there in the Fall. It takes about 120 days to get a promoters license and get everything set up to put on an event in NY so we'll see.

I hate all these people freaking out about Bellator going there though. The sport of MMA is legalized and they think only the UFC can go to NY. It's so stupid.

I'm glad it's finally legalized. I really thought it never would be.

Theres lots of New York based fighters in both promptions. For Bellator 2 of their current champions. Undefeated Liam McGeary (LHW Champ, First/Only British MMA champion of a major organization) and Marcos Galvao(BW champ) theres others but those are the big 2

For ufc there is Chris Weidman, who lobbied hard for mma in NY. His teammate Sterling, lots of guys.

And there's some free agent "legends" and pioneers and veterans of the sport that would be big sells and would love to fight in NY. Like 'The NYBA' Phil Baroni, and Matt Serra.
