Love how they dodged the story of Dana and his wife being the ACTUAL elephant in the room.

[moses]

Sound quality should be better in these videos. Especially Brett's.

[zephyrleapold]

I predict zero repercussions for Dana's slap

[HyperBull]

Paddy was struggling to stand & strike with Jared, him fighting McGregor is a horrible idea lol.

[benvanhooke]

“The elephant in the room is Conor McGregor” 😂😂😂
What did the five fingers say to the face? SLAP!
Come on guys…

[altamashsameer]

Why do I feel like I have seen this video....is this a re-upload?

[ramicrs_]

Paddy vs mcgregor is the most casual matchup to ask for. Literally no one is asking for that

[ESPLTD]

I like how in football and basketball when an owner does something wrong all analysts can speak on it. But in ufc, these shills are soo afraid they pretend nothing happened lol

[bubsterjohnson]

How much did Dana pay ESPN to not talk About his slapping his wife lmao

[TheBatosai]

The fact is ESPN and so much other MMA media were trying to side or stay quiet when if it was Colin K. Or Jon Jones, these same people would be the first to point fingers.

For now, I really can not watch these places with any sense of respect for these people.

The way all these Dana supports bend over and take it while staying quiet is ridiculous.

[Jacob-yprd]

This is ESPN and their cameras suck - step up your quality my friends

Dana Slapping His Wife, Biggest Story Of The Year So Far.. Do She Get A Rematch ??

[ilovemoney]

“I really want to see mcgregor and Jon jones fight” I’m not convinced we see either this year

[wesleymcdonald]

I like both of these guys as individuals. They're in a difficult spot. But this broadcast is so clearly aligned with UFCs interests that it feels meaningless.

[rudylimea]

Okamoto and Raimondi : THE TAG TEAM COWARDS CHAMPIONS ! Continue to ignore the slap story

[dangsickname]

Wonder if these guys will talk about their boss slapping his wife

[scottbagan]

Jon jones, colby covington, volkanovski, beniel, khamzat, Mohammed these guys i want to see alot of 2023

[berserkguts]

The dissrespect for Alexander Volkonavski is unreal!! Cannot wait for him to shock the world next month!

[neelpatel]

Paddy vs Conor is a fight no one wants to see

[HistorydnClarity]

2023 predictions
■Nate vs McGregor 3 (1 fight deal or cross promotes if Diaz signs with PFL)
■Cejudo beats sterling and decides to move up to FW Divison to attempt 1st ever 3division champion
■ Usman retains title and retires to focus on other things (these days retirement just means 2 year vacation)
■Valentina vs Weili or Valentina vs Nunez 3
