MMA Mania Monday Open Thread: Sequels, Sumo, and UFC OKC
MMA Mania ran its regular Monday open thread on July 20, inviting readers to weigh in on their favorite sequel of all time while offering a mix of combat sports tidbits and off-topic conversation starters.
The thread, posted by site staffer Tim Edwards, opened with a nod to Terminator 2: Judgment Day, accompanied by an archival Getty Images photo of Arnold Schwarzenegger from a 1991 press event. Edwards posed the question to the community without offering his own pick outright, leaving the floor open for debate among the site's regulars.
Sumo and UFC Oklahoma City Coverage
Alongside the sequel prompt, the thread featured a sumo wrestling highlight from the ongoing basho tournament. Edwards pointed readers toward a match between Takayasu and Nishikifuji, praising a YouTube channel run by Sensei Seth for its sumo content. The thread also included links to MMA Mania's recent fight analysis pieces, including breakdowns of UFC Oklahoma City and updates on Kamaru Usman's next move and Conor McGregor's latest injury status.
The open thread format has been a longstanding feature on the site, offering a daily catch-all for community conversation that extends beyond strictly MMA topics. Monday's edition also included an interactive quiz element that required readers to type numbers to reveal clues, though the specific game was not detailed in the post.
