Hah I wish that were the case. For what it's worth one of my dumb ass waiters asked him "have I seen you on TV?" He's one handsome bastard, I'll give Luke that.


Crazy thing is Kobe used to come to our place during previous ownership. 4.5 years in and I'm still waiting with bated breath for Kobe to walk in lol. He's the one celebrity that would make me get star struck.

Luke Rockhold is here at my humble little Vietnamese restaurant. Looks really thin (200 tops). WAY smaller than his LHW showing. Debating whether or not to do the "hey aren't you...?". He looks real low key so I'm thinking not lol.


Did the pho test his glass jaw?

Mo, great point about Costa's timing and precision.

I think after watching that brawl with Romero, it's easy to forget. That was straight savagery.

One thing that did come to mind recently, is in the pin point and powerful body work he did on Hall. Mixed in with his jackhammer jab, those are definitely tools of the trade that he can try to employ against Adesanya for sure.

I think you're right. I was underestimating Costa.

Gastelum found success by marching forward. Izzy is going to have his hands full with that roided freak. Seriously, is Costa on ALL the steroids or what?

Newport Beach.

There's so many world class gyms within a few mile radius...King's MMA, Art of Jiu Jitsu, Jason Parilla etc, etc. We get a lot of local practictioners (the ears are always a dead giveaway) but Luke is the first "known" fighter I recognized.

You already know.

This dude needs a lead toilet to withstand his piss streams.

Just a matter of time before USADA gets him and, before someone gets Adesanya. This sport won’t allow dominance of old.

The worst part of Weidman’s loss was hearing him talk about fighting again.

You guys see hardy agreed to fill in for JDS against Volkov in 18 days in Moscow?

This could be a really big mistake. I don’t think he’s ready for that level competition yet.

Please hit me me up when that happens.

Speaking of which I met Rampage at a vietnamese restaurant in westminster of all places maybe 5 years ago. My god his neck was the size of my torso.

He lives in Irvine I believe. I saw him a few years back at Classic Q by John Wayne airport. You're right, the dude was built like a ninja turtle.

Agreed. Hardy has looked awful in his wins over cans. Volkov just needs to not be careless and pick him apart.

Okay just checked ... damn. I'm not sure what to say. Nate says he got flagged falsely but USADA and UFC have yet to issue any statements. LOL.

Interesting that Diaz, IF THIS is an actual instance of a failed drug test, is being the most proactive and transparent fighter as far as drug-testing goes...that I can recall.

Also interesting that Porier took the occasion to jump all over Nate, especially if this is just another Nate drama ploy to get more cheddar or amenities.

I just want to watch that scrap with Masvidal dammit!!!

We’re all with you GTR and honestly idk what to think at this point. Eddie Alvarez jumped all over him too!

What a strange situation... Diaz just doesn't seem like a drug cheat to me. Weed definitely, but not a PED guy.

At least the fight seems to still be on.

Wonder who Conor will fight next, who do we want?
Oddsmakers favorites:
Donald Cerrone then Justin Gaethje

Shame Holloway is fighting soon, that'd be cool. Maybe Dustin would be a cool matchup too, maybe even Pettis.
