Maybe it's a mental thing (or just the level of competition that he looked so good against was lower), but he's always been disappointing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of his KOs are scary brutal. Oh well, we've got this up and comer Randy Brown who's 2-1 in UFC now (8-1 overall) with a fight coming up. There's hope for us yet! Also there's that one Polish/German fighter who decided to represent Jamaica now so we've got three Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polishgenius Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 Speaking of Jamaican fighters, Walters fighting Lomachenko this weekend in the boxing. Very excited for that. Controversy in the Ward/Kovalev decision (I thought it was a tight enough fight that Ward winning is fine, even if I see why people saw it the other way), but I thought it was a really good fight.

Calibandar Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 I feel pretty confident in saying that Mousasi is better than Bisping. And Weidman. He's been excellent in a whole string of fights I have seen him in. Very diverse, very capable. He should fight the winner of Romero/Bisping.

I had to work that night so I missed it, but my buddies thought Kovalev clearly won. But they also said it was close enough where there shouldn't be some big controversy. I'm looking forward to watching a replay of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calibandar Posted November 26, 2016 Share Posted November 26, 2016 Fucking Daniel Cormier. Injured himself yet again just before the fight, UFC 206 beheaded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rumor has it it's going to be Holloway and Pettis for an interim belt for the main event, implying that likely Conor (or Aldo I guess) is getting stripped.

I guess they needed a title fight for 206 with Cormier pulling out and they just had Conor take one for the team and not hold up the belt while he negotiated.

dbunting Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 That was a bloody night of fights. Had to root for Andrew Holbrook since he is from my hometown and a friend of my nephew. I prefer a striker but will root for him every time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cool as it was to see him get two belts this really should have happened months ago. Having Pettis & Holloway fight for an interim belt now is pointless but yeah I guess they need a title fight even if it's completely contrived.

Calibandar Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 Holloway will beat Pettis and then fight Aldo. That will be a fight I very much look forward to, in the first few months of 2017. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pettis has shown some serious problems getting his fucking back away from the cage but I don't know that Holloway is the guy to exploit that. He's still a pretty dangerous striker and showed his work on the ground against Oliveira. It would also be hilarious if he wins and Max's streak amounted to nothing. I know, that's mean and all but...it kinda would be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calibandar Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 Was watching a video of Khabib vs Michael Johnson here And it really makes me wonder how he would stand up to McGregor. McGregor had such a hard time already with Mendes, and surely Khabib is better and stronger. If he floors him, Conor is in for a world of pain and I think he knows this a fight that would dim his star. On the other hand, has Khabib fought a striker as good as Conor? A fight against Ferguson would probably be more attractive from a visual standpoint. I'd be very happy with either choice. 23 hours ago, dbunting said: That was a bloody night of fights.

Brunson nearly had Whittaker there with that flurry of blows. But at some point while barreling forward he ran into a left hand, and that changed the whole course of the fight.

Castel Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 You mean: the same discussion and rampant speculation we suddenly (mysteriously) get any time Conor isn't fighting in a few months or he has some sort of issue with the UFC? Yeah, for sure. It's actually amazingly consistent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KiDisaster Posted December 2, 2016 Share Posted December 2, 2016 Everything he says is about him. The way he talks about the hit and run, everything is from the perspective of what it meant for his own life. "Oh thank god her baby was alright or they would have blamed me. I'm glad she was OK because it would have been so much worse for me." And the way he talks about himself as a role model because he "went through this terrible hit and run situation and had everything taken from him." No asshole, you didn't "go through" shit. You DID that. He still can't take full responsibility. People like that really piss me off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
