Looks like he is never going to be the same guy that dominated Cruz, who himself had a good comeback earlier vs Munhoz. Garbrandt getting beat done me for three and a half grand there, I am physically spewing. Had Emmet, Oliveira, Neal, Cruz, O Malley and Garbrandt as an accumulator. There wasn’t much thought behind the picks and I’d never even heard of Neal or Emmet before, but Garbrandt was one I was confident in. It was a peach of a right hand from Kara-France for the initial knockdown, caught him sweet as a nut right in the teeth, then took his time to line him up again for the finish.

Never bet on glass jaw Cody. He's just not very good, leaves himself wide open all the time and it doesn't take much to turn his switch off. Nunes didn't look the same. Physically exhausted before the end of the second round, I imagine she'll get a rematch and be better prepared but what a night for Pena. Funny to hear that a steaming Michael Chiesa has smashed his face up trying to jump in the octagon with Pena at the end and had to be dragged out by police. Charlie Olives with a fairly definitive win. I love Dustin but it does look like he's a level below a Champion now, he's had a few cracks at different people and still not been crowned champion. Hope he keeps going but I doubt you'll see him as No. 1 contender again. Also, Aldo vs Cruz next please. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garbrant although a very good fighter, seems to have developed an unhelpful tendancy to get sparked out. Nunes didn't look the same. But Poirier is still a top level fighter. If anything I'd say da bronx is just underrated. Poirier is still top 5 and is at worst 50/50 to beating anyone in the top 5, Olivera in the future included. Just look to the first round.ETA aldo vs cruz...... yes fucking please. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't necessarily disagree on Poirier, he just seemed a bit defeated afterwards, usually he looks for positives and says positive things about the future, but it was very "I need time to look at things" chat. I hope he bounces back and wins it as you can see how much it means to him and he's one of the good guys. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the tungston weasel Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 Well I finally managed to get home and watch some fights that got recorded. Out of all the possible ways for the heavyweight title to go I would never have bet on Nganu by wrestlefuck! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Moonster Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 Sean Strickland is a either a complete fucking fanny or someone who needs serious mental help. Perhaps he's both. Either way I don't enjoy his fight weeks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bairnardo Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 Total meh for the main event there. Haven't seen a huge amount of Whittaker but her strikes me as a nothing fighter and seemed from the first round to be happy enough to try and see the final bell. Knew he was outgunned, covered about 10km going round the outside and committed to absolutely nothing. An exercise in survival for me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really? I love Whittaker, I think he's a brilliant fighter and easily the second best in the division right now. Izzy is the only guy to beat him since 2014 and since his last loss to him he went and killed 3 other top contenders to get another shot. I thought the fight displayed just how far ahead Adesanya is though. On another level. Adesanya takes shit because he doesn't knock people out that often any more, but I liken it to teams parking the bus against Barca in their pomp, folk don't want killed by him so fight super defensively, which means Adesanya can settle for out pointing them, which he always will. He'll fight Cannonier next and then probably wait and see if Alex Pereira can make his way to a title shot - that's the fight the UFC want. Really loved Tuivasa and Lewis, I hope Tuivasa goes on to win a title, a really likeable guy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J_Stewart Posted February 14, 2022 Share Posted February 14, 2022 Yeah, I'm not really getting the criticism of Whittaker either. He was basically just the victim of the Jon Jones principle. If a guy is a technically more proficient striker than you, and has a significant reach advantage, and is excellent at stuffing take down attempts, then essentially, you're fucked. Whittaker was clearly a bit more reticent to commit himself in the 1st round after being melted by Adesanya last time, but the other 4 rounds he was game and competitive, just purely beaten by a better fighter. I'd have maybe liked to see him use a bit more variation with his right, but understandably he was concerned about the high-kick counters coming back if he did. The fact his leg was kicked in to mush didn't help matters either. Agreed on Tuivasa, seems like a great lad, and appears to have one hell of a chin. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TDog Posted February 27, 2022 Share Posted February 27, 2022 Enjoyable weekend of mma Think Makhachev has done enough to get the next shot at the lightweight title. Absolutely dominant. Arman Tsarukyan is destined for the top. Alvarez is the dark horse of the division and he made it look easy. Brutal elbows. Gegard Mousasi is one of the most underrated fighters ever. Wish he was still in ufc 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Moonster Posted March 3, 2022 Share Posted March 3, 2022 Cain Velasquez arrested for the attempted murder of a guy who had apparently molested one of his relatives. Didn't even injure the guy and he's going to spend the next 20 years in jail. Doesn't look like he gives a f**k. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTG_03 Posted March 6, 2022 Share Posted March 6, 2022 Thought masvidal was totally outclassed there. Gassed early too, been living off that askren KO for too long. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Masvidal ought to be matched for fireworks. He's not really a belt contender. Too many technically gifted fighters. There's plenty room for a fighter like him on a card, but certain fights are just a surefire way to drain his stock, Colby being one. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TDog Posted March 6, 2022 Share Posted March 6, 2022 Masvidal is now on the same level as Diaz, Tony Ferguson and Conor McGregor were they are not at the level of the people on top of there weight classes but still big names. Would love to see Rda get one last run at the belt. Legend. Holland and Mitchell both looked good. Hardy getting battered on the last fight on his deal was also pleasing. Hopefully the last we see of him in ufc. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Moonster Posted March 7, 2022 Share Posted March 7, 2022 Bryce Mitchell is taking over and I can't wait. I wish I'd bet on the main event as I could see that happening all day. It was a shit fight I thought, nowhere near the aggression I was expecting from either fighter given the apparent hatred but it looked like two guys who knew each others style well, Colby knew Jorge didn't have any wrestling and thus turned it into a hugging match. I actually think Masvidal made a mistake in blowing up this beef and taking the fight, this sort of fighter suffocates him every time. It's just a shame we need to deal with a winning Colby now, it's better when someone breaks his jaw. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IrishBhoy Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 f**k me Paul Craig is a dangerous c**t.

Yup that came out of fucking no where! I genuinely don’t think he was willing to get off his back for the full duration of that fight. He would have lay there for 15 minutes taking clean elbows and punches to the face if he had to, all in order to try and get the submission. When you are as good at it as Paul Craig is then I can’t say I blame him, he fought to his strengths. Even better I’ve got him in a double with Hooker, 13/8 Craig was to win. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
