MMA H.E.A.T.’s Karyn Bryant spoke via Skype with UFC Lightweight Al Iaquinta and heard what he had to say about his upcoming UFC Nashville co-main event fight with Diego Sanchez. “Raging” Al talks about returning to the Octagon after a 2-year layoff, the knee injury that almost kept him from fighting and his frustrations with the UFC concerning his paycheck. Al also shares his thoughts on the controversial TKO win Gegard Mousasi scored over his teammate Chris Weidman, his budding real estate career and how he feels about Champ Conor McGregor and the Lightweight division after being out of the game for a while.

when conor mcgregor visits dana white he sings "he's blowin me crazy. my ammunition is dry. I'm givin Dana the bone, yes i am! Dana is drivin me crazy, with his mouth wrapped around my weener." Dana is a fag who blowss conor's tiny weeny!
So either Chris Weidman was milking it and deserved to lose because of his bitch moves trying to get the mous DQ'ed, or he wasn't milking it and he deserved to lose because he got knocked out

Not trying to use your hands to block the knees instead of trying to make a knee illegal doesn't make sense. Bad question to ask.

Its true that Gegard did not want to win like that, but Chris definitely wanted and would have taken the win like that…

Kid is a beast and speaks his mind. If you dont like it then fawk off. At least he keeps it real amidst all the nonsense, contractual issues, payouts, insurance discrepancies, etc etc etc.
In the bigger picture you WANT fighters like this who care more about principle then the cash. Al made a statement to the UFC and the UFC still came back and asked him to fight (albeit still having fights left on the contract he still could have walked away w a legal fight).
For the sake of the sport I hope more fighters take Als stance instead of brown nosing Dana White.
Side note, I have never seen Iaquinta gassed…ever. Replay the videos with this in mind and be prepared to be shocked.

Al must be on drugs! Weidman had a super 'lucky' run of fights…now he is showing how average he is against real opponents. UFC should cut him…he is def not Top 10 and Dana already said NO REMATCH!
The Dream Team Stackers sure. "lucky". thats ridiculous
The Dream Team Stackers and u sound like a level 100 hater. stop being so salty
Mitch Conner Not a Hater…just love good fights & his last 3 fights were all pretty sad to watch. Like watching BJ Penn his last couple fights, just painful to watch as a fight fan.

Your coach called Mousasi "a dirty cocksucker", you have no grounds to talk about the Weidman Mousasi fight. The whole Italian American MMA crew should just shut up about the whole situation.
I was thinking he same thing, he should stay away of commenting the situation

The knees weren't legal because Gegard lifted him. Chris never had his hands fully on the ground, only his fingertips. So regardless of Gegard lifting him up, those knees were legal. No?Gegard lifting Chris had little to do with the legality of the strikes. Chris never had his hands fully on the ground, only his fingertips. So regardless of Gegard lifting him up, those knees were legal. Right?
Roland P. its legal to lift up so you can place the knees!

Edited my op to clear up that ambiguous first sentence. 😉
Right… major setback to his career/fan base going out like that imo

karyn u give the best interviews out of anyone in the game
Karyn Bryant awe thank you so much. You are so amazing. You inspire so many people including myself :)))
Andrew, KB is a very nice lady but she is mediocre in the babe department.
James Lambert shes fucking hot man, your an idiot
karyn u give the best interviews out of anyone in the game
Laura Brandle asskisser,just because you both are women. I think she is to biased on the fighter she knows/likes. to much sugar to some and vinegar to others!
Jimmy Salvesen u miserable fuck. don't go calling me names just because u don't agree with my opinion on who IIII (NOT U) think is a good journalist. If u don't agree then fine but don't try to degrade me for me complimenting someone
Karyn Bryant awe thank you so much. You are so amazing. You inspire so many people including myself :)))
Masvidal won
Masvidal is the best
Nope.
He almost finished Iaquinta in the first round, but then got out pointed in the 2nd and 3rd. Dumb old scoring system.
Masvidal lost that fight on his own. The last two rounds he tried to be a Mayweather, dancing around the ring w only counters. Iaquinta pushed that fight and landed a few nice flush combos. Masvidal only had the first round. As a guy who grew up around boxing, and especially when fighting a 3 round fight, Masvidal should have known better than to simply coast…after only one solid round.
Again, its Masvidals fault he lost.
Masvidal won
Masvidal is the best
