SBG’s John Kavanagh Tells Meryl Streep to ‘F**k Off’

Kavanagh gives Meryl Streep a dressing down, following her unexpected dismissal of MMA at the Golden Globe Awards on Sunday.

The highly decorated actress delivered a critique of Donald Trump at the televised awards on Sunday, but has drawn major criticism from the world of Mixed Martial Arts for her attempt to draw a comparison between politics and sport.

The Hollywood legend stated:

“What is [Hollywood] anyway? It’s just a bunch of people from other places. Hollywood is crawling with outsiders and foreigners. And if we kick them all out you’ll have nothing to watch but football and mixed martial arts, which are not the arts.”

While Trump himself responded to the comments in a tweet, Dana White was also vocal in his response, in an interview given to TMZ which you can watch here.

Another man who certainly took offence to what has been described as an ignorant assessment of the sport is Conor McGregor’s coach, and SBG wizard, John Kavanagh. In a message posted to his Facebook account on Tuesday, Kavanagh said:

“A lot has been made of Meryl Streep’s ‘calling out’ of Mixed Martial Arts as not being ‘the arts’. She’s 100% right, it’s sport. I was just impressed she said mixed martial arts and not ‘cage fighting’. People probably got a little defensive with the way she was clearly saying ‘the arts’ were so much superior to ‘sport’. What would we ever do without Hollywood!!?” The great American writer Joseph Campbell said the closest he ever came to a truly spiritual experience was through athletics.

Kavanagh added: “I wouldn’t like to think of one activity better than the other – sport or art. Just do whatever you enjoy. I think people’s main issue with her teary well acted speech was that she tried to pass herself, and the rest of her ultra rich and ultra entitled liberal friends, off as ‘an outsider’.

“Yes Meryl, you’re just like an illegal immigrant or starving refugee. Fuck off. Just carry on adding to your 100s of millions you’ve earned from playing pretend. You’ve known nothing but extreme wealth and privilege your whole life, so don’t look down your nose at sport which has probably helped a lot more people than the expensive drama schools you attended. Happy Tuesday haha!” he added.

 

The saga continues…

Donald Cerrone Is Pro-Trump, Open To Fighting At Middleweight

Returning at this weekend’s UFC 205, Donald Cerrone is looking to make another big statement at welterweight. Having fought the majority of his career as a lightweight, the 15-pound increase seems to have improved ‘Cowboy’s’ already high calibre form. Finishes over Alex Oliveira, Patrick Côté and Rick Story have Cerrone in good standing, holding top 10

Returning at this weekend’s UFC 205, Donald Cerrone is looking to make another big statement at welterweight. Having fought the majority of his career as a lightweight, the 15-pound increase seems to have improved ‘Cowboy’s’ already high calibre form. Finishes over Alex Oliveira, Patrick Côté and Rick Story have Cerrone in good standing, holding top 10 rankings at both 155 and 170 pounds. Standing in his way at UFC 205 is Ultimate Fighter 17 winner and surging welterweight contender Kelvin Gastelum.

‘Mini Cain’ defeated Johny Hendricks at UFC 200 last time out, and will hope to make a statement about his future title contention with a victory over Cerrone. What we saw from ‘Cowboy’ in his last fight was perhaps his greatest form to date. Dispatching Rick Story with a fluid and beautiful Muay Thai combo, Cerrone showed that welterweight is possibly the best division for him.

Middleweight? Sure

Known for his ‘anywhere, anytime’ attitude for taking fights, Donald Cerrone tells our friends Submission Radio that even a move to middleweight isn’t out of the question. Reacting to Donald Trump’s recent move to the White House, and also the talk of a fighters union, ‘Cowboy’ had some very interesting things to say ahead of UFC 205:

“I don’t give a f*ck, I’ll fight lightweight, welterweight or middleweight. I f*cking love fighting. I’m pro trump, I’m pro union too. Other fighters have been asking me how I can be pro Trump and pro union, like it’s a double negative. I’m like ‘Hey man, I can’t support what I want to support?’ I don’t even know anything about a fighters union, I need to sit down and discuss this. I need to find out what these guys stand for.”

“I’m coming up on 10 years in the UFC, and I have no pension or healthcare. Everyone’s really like ‘Hey great idea, but you do it and we’ll stand behind you.’ I’m happy to stand and be the face of the union. They are worried that they are going to get cut, am I worried? Yes and no, but hopefully I made enough of a name and people want to see me fight. There’s been no backlash, it’s f*cking America man, I can say whatever I want.”

Tyron Woodley to Donald Trump: Stop Mentioning Ferguson to “Keep My Fist Out of His Mouth”

UFC Welterweight Champion Tyron Woodley has been more outspoken about racial issues than most UFC fighters, probably thanks in part to his hometown being Ferguson, Missouri. The police shooting of Michael Brown in Ferguson helped ignite a lot of the current conversations about race in the United States, the Black Lives Matter movement, and so on, so as a black man from Ferguson, this all hits home for Woodley.

While it’s understandable that he’s upset, he may have gone too far in the above interview with TMZ Sports. Taking offense to Trump’s comments about Ferguson because you ain’t never been to Ferguson and that’s where I’m from,” the champion added that “he gotta keep Ferguson out his mouth so he can keep my fist out of his mouth.” Being that something like that could be perceived as a threat towards a presidential candidate, it wouldn’t be the most surprising thing in the world if he got a visit from the Secret Service soon.

Former UFC fighter Jacob Volkmann was reportedly interviewed by Secret Service agents after saying this about President Barack Obama: “Someone’s got to knock some sense into that idiot.” Whatever you think of either fighter or what they said, and while Woodley doesn’t seem like someone who would attempt to attack Trump, that’s just vigorously these things are investigated.

UFC president Dana White gave Donald Trump his complete endorsement Tuesday night during the Republican National Convention.

White was the featured speaker on the second night of the event, which is expected to conclude with Trump earning the Republican nominee to be the next President of the United States of America.

“Let me tell you something, I’ve been in the fight business my whole life, I know fighters,” White said. “Ladies and gentlemen, Donald Trump is a fighter and I know he will fight for this country.:

White remarked that the two first became friends in 2001 when they partnered. Trump, White explained, helped the commissions understand that the UFC and MMA is not a “blood sport.”

“Arenas around the world refused to host our events,” he said. “Nobody took us seriously. Nobody expect Donald Trump.”
