Sean O'Malley's decision to abstain from masturbation for 10 months before his fight was a mistake.

Sean O'Malley didn't jerk off for 10 months and then lost in the third round. Not a good choice. You have to, if you come out and say, 'Hey, I'm not jerking off,' you have to win.

O'Malley lost the fight, so the specific strategy did not result in a win as intended.

The rumored Conor McGregor vs. Logan Paul boxing match will be a 'shitty money grab' that sucks

Conor McGregor tweeted that the rumors of about with Rio are false. I'm in preliminary agreements... to face Logan Paul in a boxing exhibition in India... It's probably gonna suck. I'm sick of it. This might be, so they fight someone who's actually like at the top of their game.

The McGregor vs Logan Paul fight was nixed by the UFC and did not happen. It was indeed a 'money grab' attempt that fell through, though it never took place so we can't judge if it 'sucked.'

Tyson Fury was embarrassingly out of shape for the Ngannou fight

Tyson Fury always looks a little bit outta shape, but he looked so outta shape next to Ngannou. Just like they look like different species... he was the heaviest he's ever been was he? That's what they said. Which bullshit for the announcers to say that.

Fury weighed in at 277 lbs, which was actually a few pounds lighter than his previous fight against Derek Chisora (268 lbs), though he did appear less toned than usual.

I will knock out Jeff Nadu in the second round with a body shot

Game plan is to come out and put the pressure on right away and back him up and have him on the defense, the whole fight and run around the ring and cut off the corners... and just bodywork. And once he drops those hands, it's lights out... Second round knockout, second round knockout, a body shot.

Jerry won the fight against Jeff Nadu, but it went the distance and was decided by unanimous decision, not a 2nd round body shot KO.

Preliminary UFC fighters make as much as $750,000 per fight

A guy who isn't even... he's on the prelims, never been a world champion... is making $750,000. Prelim fighter... never been a world champion, is making $750,000.

UFC payouts are notoriously opaque, but high-profile veterans or former champs on 'prelim' cards (like Donald Cerrone or Jose Aldo) have been known to have contracts in this range, though it's not the norm for standard prelim fighters.

I am going to defeat Bobby Laing and then continue fighting in Rough N' Rowdy

I think this is going to be my platform... I'm going to win the fight, but this is not my, this is my first fight, man... if you asked me, will this be my one and last fight? Answer is no.

Pacman did win this fight, but has not been a regular recurring fighter in many subsequent events.

I will out-muscle Jose Canseco in our boxing match

I knew I was going to out-muscle [Jose Canseco], if anything. So I've just been training speed, punch, output, that sort of stuff, footwork... I am going to kill this guy legitimately.

Billy won the fight, but it was because Canseco essentially quit/got injured in the first 15 seconds. It's unclear if 'out-muscling' was the deciding factor.

I will 'wipe Jose Canseco off the face of the earth' and force him to retire from public life

If I beat up Jose Canseco and he loses his fight, I don't see how he can even show his face in public again. So I'm literally wiping him off the face of the earth. We're never going to hear from him again.

Billy did beat Jose Canseco in 15 seconds at Rough N' Rowdy 13. While Jose stayed in the public eye, his fighting 'career' essentially ended there.

Conor McGregor will be out of retirement by October or November to fight Khabib

But I'm sure he's not coming back. No way. In like October. No chance. Or November. Whenever Khabib's next up to fight him.

Conor McGregor did eventually return to fight Dustin Poirier in January 2021, though not Khabib and not as early as November.

Wrestling is definitively real

Is wrestling real? Yes. Great answer. Most definitely. And anybody that doesn't think it is should come down for a workout one day.

While the outcomes are predetermined (scripted), the physical impact and athleticism are real. Flair is using the traditional wrestler defense here.

Tyron Woodley is a live underdog against Stephen Thompson

Tyron Woodley can do it all, and he's going to have to wrestle... he does have the bigger power shot. So to me, plus 166, plus 170... I think there's a little value there... don't sleep on Tyron Woodley. I think he's a live dog.

The fight ended in a majority draw. Woodley was very much 'live' as he nearly finished Thompson, but since it wasn't a win, 'live dog' is partially correct in spirit as he retained the title.

Conor McGregor has a great chance to knock out Eddie Alvarez in the first round

I think there's a great chance Conor McGregor gets [Eddie Alvarez] out of there in the first round, to be honest with you. Connor's that specialist striker... Connor's left hand is no joke man and i don't know i think he lands and he finds it

McGregor did dominate and finish Alvarez, though it happened in the 2nd round (TKO), not the 1st.
