How I liked the Double Champ way before he was popular + Mayweather MMA debut confirmed !!
Hahah I guess you could call me the biggest fanboy and bandwagooner ever :D Why...cuz if I had to choose my 2 favorite fighters I'd name:
- Conor McGregor
- Daniel Cormier Haha I know :D Both double champs...
BUT!
I swear I liked both before they were soo popular. I started following MMA in 2014 with the rise of Conor. Yeah, call me casual, whatever :) He wasn't the star like now at all. But I was totally inspired by his mentality he has shown in the interviews...and that's how I started following this whole "circus" around MMA and mostly UFC.And as I got my feet wetter and wetter, there were suddently all these names thrown around. Conor was trying to be the GOAT and his starpower reached up to...Jon Jones. And then, they had the presser together. And the DC was sitting there.
Soo I googled him..and found this old video of him on Fighland. I immediately liked the guy a lot. He was just sooo freaking likable dude that I knew I'm taking his side against Jones. And back then, Jon wasn't this controversial guy at all.
And then, when the video of him and Luke Rockhold fooling around in AKA got released, he cemented his #2 spot on my favorite fighters list. Conor was ofcourse wayyy ahead as his trashtalk was absolutely on point and never got to family and other stuff which I don't really approve.
Your hair says TV, your vocabulary says...No TV"
:DDD how hilarious is that :D
Fast-forward 3 years...
DC is the first guy ever, who not only became the double-champ but actually defended both belts. I just watched him give Derrick Lewis a wrestling clinic (ok it wasn't that bad, but I like the term :D). And I couldn't be happier for the guy :)I remember having him as a background picture in late 2017 when I met with my master thesis supervisor for the first time. He clearly wasn't a fan of the picture as I could say. It was this one :)
Can't find the source here,I have it in my PC since then :)
BREAKING NEWS while I'm writing this!
Floyd Mayweather Jr. will have his MMA debut in 2019 in Rizin?!? What do you guys think of this? It seems kinda valid to me - there's the official poster.

And Floyd also shared a picture in Rizin gloves on his Instagram. How crazy would this be!? He's supposed to fight an unbeaten kickboxer! Maan, if this goes down, he'll get his brains beaten out of him IMO. But I'll for sure pay to watch such a big event, despite it'll be a complete mismatch.

I usually rather share my personal pictures and stories
...but I somehow felt there were way too many MMA events this weekend, so I needed to release my thoughts :D Have a nice week everyone!Thanks for reading this unimportant post :)

It is hard not to get drawn into liking DC, I was worried for him against Lewis with the fight being short notice and him having an injury but he pulled it off and made it look easy. He is an unbelievable fighter as well as a great guy. I really hope the Brock Lesnar fight happens for him and he gets to have a huge payday before retiring, he totally deserves it.
As for the Mayweather news that is really interesting, I am not familiar with Nasukawa but have watched some highlights on Yotube and Floyd is brave if he's stepping in there with him under MMA rules!
Man totally point of view as well! Brock, money and sunset. GOAT, never caught on PEDs and unbeaten.
And floyd has some balls for sure. Doing this at 40 with all the money in the world..crazy. Altho, the rules might not be MMA but some weird mix. Let's see.
