I've been a diehard MMA fan since I was 11, I'm 31 now. I used to sit in the back of class downloading past UFC events off PirateBay and combing through every fighters record on Wikipedia, but I smoked way too much weed since then so I don't have the encyclopaedic knowledgebase of MMA GURU.
BigDumbHarry was my nickname at university, because there was a small kid named Harry that was top of his year in engineering, so he was Small Smart Harry, and I'm BigDumbHarry - But my name's not Harry, it's Royce :)
Anyway, this channel is where I make MMA reaction content and MMA comedy jokes based on Norm MacDonald's Weekend Update segment. I also do MMA Picks, Predictions & Betting Tips for all of the UFC cards and recap videos after the events.
Don't expect me to have the right picks, I often pick based on who I want to win not who I think will win (Dan Hooker vs Arman Tsarukyan for example). This channel is meant to be fun, sarcastic, dumb and lighthearted for the MMA community. SUBSCRIBE

Pretty awesome fight night to end the year, but I have one question...
Why do the little guys suddenly seem to have all the power and the big guys can barely finish a fight?
Over the last 3 months, other than the Pereira Ank rematch, it seems like all the big fights go to a pretty boring decision, but the flyweights-featherweights are bangers and mostly ending in finishes...
Anyway, this was a fun fight night, I went 6-5-1 on picks, which isn't too bad - And I picked the main and co-main spot on so I feel good about that.
What did you think of the fights tonight? Do you feel like the Paramount era will start with more bangers?

What a crazy way to finish the year and the ESPN era! Here's the recap & highlights in less than 60 seconds: youtube.com/shorts/cmEyhue9h58
Yan's a beast, he really did his homework to shut Merab down and I believe him when he says his arm was busted last time. Poor Merab, I think he should take some time to rest, he was super active and it seemed like he wasn't 100% this time round either.
I bet Dana is wetting himself with how things turned out in the flyweight division. New Asian champion, with a Japanese #1 contender. He said in the post fight press conference that he's looking for arenas in Japan, not Singapore - Even though they have more recent history with Singapore and there's more Myanmar people like Van in Singapore.
I was going to make a recap video on the main card but I'm going to make a video around this whole UFC/Asia thing instead. I feel like my recap videos aren't that interesting and I don't wanna just put slop out to you guys, truly.
Did okay with picks, I think I gotta start picking the whole card including the prelims again.
Hope you're having a great weekend!

I'm changing my picks last minute!
I have a weird feeling Joshua Van is going to come out and get it done - I think he catches Pantoja early and gets a 1st round TKO.
Moreno's too good for Taira - I was worried about his age and how many wars he's been in but the smaller guys have way more longevity and Taira doesn't have the power to hurt Moreno, so with good BJJ defense he's going to put Taira away himself in R3 TKO.
Other than that, everything is as usual - Yan does better but Merab can't be stopped, Henry Cejudo is throwing this fight to Payton Talbott and Legendary Polish Power will prove indefensible.

Dan Hooker's gonna get the upset and humiliate Arman for that dumb headbutt (imagine if he ruined two events in a row lol) - R1 KO
Unfortunately Ian Garry is gonna win a 3 round Decision, not that I want Belal to win either, this really is the fight of the least likeable welterweights.
I'm getting pictures and moments of all the highlights of this card for my best recap video yet, if you didn't get to see the card make sure to check it out!

JDM's gonna smash Makhachev, R2 or 4 TKO - I'm so excited for this fight!
In The Battle Of The Commie Queens, Weili Zhang is gonna get it done, more heart at this stage in her career. Valentina was a terrifying champion during her first reign but she's lost the winning instinct to beat a juggernaut like Zhang. DEC or R4/5 RNC for Zhang.
Prates really is The Nightmare, but Edwards has too many ways to win a 3 round fight, he could even outstrike Prates, he's not out of his physical prime yet and he does not want to take the Tony Ferguson career trajectory, DEC for Edwards
Brady's gonna break Morales. If Magny was able to outwrestle you at moments, Sean Brady is your worst nightmare. Maybe Morales can land something, but this should be an easy DEC or R3 SUB for Brady.
In the opener, the wrestling is going to nullify and as BSD comes crashing in he's going to put Beneil Dariush out cold, R1 KO.
I recorded a picks video for the main card but wasn't recording the audio and was too annoyed to remake one, but this is how I see it going down.
Hope wherever you are, you're having a good time and ready for one of the best cards of the year!

I put so much work into this JDM vs Islam prediction/breakdown video for you guys, I really feel like it's the best video I've made on the channel yet - Could you let me know what you think of me adding the references like DBZ, Goonies, Rocky? https://youtu.be/zGLxu9FSZvk
Also curious if you agree with my prediction or not, I'm definitely not fence sitting in this one haha

Was Bonfim vs Brown the best UFC Fight Night of The Year?
5 Fights, 5 Finishes, it's pretty hard to beat that! I went 3-2 on the main card (plus got Raoni Barcelos vs Ricky Simon right that got moved to prelims)
Gabriel Bonfim got it done against Randy Brown, really exposed a weakness in Brown with the leg kicks, and clearly didn't want to have the entire Bonfim family losing tonight lol!
Joseph Morales made it look easy against Matt Schnell, he literally saw that Guillotine coming like 4 positions earlier, crazy good bjj!
Uros Medic showed he's the Superior Eastern European Unc at the Welterweight BBQ and put Muslim Salikhov down in 1 minute, Medic's got some power man - I'm interested to see how his grappling is considering how good the welterweights are on the ground.
Ismael Bonfim came in 6 pounds overweight and got folded pretty easily by Chris Padilla
And to kick off the main card, CLD (Christian Leroy Duncan) came out like Taz, The Tasmanian Devil and was throwing spinning attack after spinning attack. Finally he caught Tulio on the chin with a spinning backfist and was able to put him out cold.
If you want to see all the best moments, here's my reaction video: https://youtu.be/ea9x2IrLbxo

What a disappointing end to an awesome UFC 321 card!
These are all of my highlights from the event, and if you want to see my recap video - here it is: https://youtu.be/5KlpbYlqiW4
I feel bad for both Tom & Ciryl, I don't know what you're meant to do with them both now - do you run it back?

Chris Barnett mooning the crowd, to be called Chocolate Pepper Pig by Valter Walker has already made my weekend! 🤣
These are my picks for the main card:
1. Aspinall brings it home (obviously) - R1 Sub, quicker than Jones
2. Dern gets a robbery victory
3. Volkov is too high level for Almeida, shuts down the grappling and punishes him for 3 rounds (30-27)
4. Nurmagomedov wins a close 29-28 decision against Mario
5. Rakic is washed, R1 KO for Murzakanov

The UFC 321 Press Conference was so bad that I had to completely rewrite the script to make it entertaining 🤣 It's just a few minutes: https://youtu.be/CWAUKiS0Xuo
