The MMA thread

I think it was the right call. Hendo wouldnt have turned it over like he did cos that guy stopped hitting him.
 
What the feck is with this dual commentary with UFC on BT Sports? its the worst thing ever. The UK commentators are horrible to listen to.

Well it's obviosuly not meant to be happening

But yeah I'd take Rogan and Goldie over Hardy and that other chap
 
Its just horrible. Simply horrible.

Can you Explane? Not in UK so dunno why, but what do you mean by dual commentary?

On BT sport, they have Rogan/Goldie doing commentary then have Dan Hardy and some other dude doing commentary from UK and its over each other. Its horrible.

Thankfully ive just found a Fox stream which negates it.
 
:lol:. Rumble what a fking beast! I said he would win by KO! He just won me a shit load of money too. He will dethrown Jones!
 
I think they let that go on too long. They can say they should let it play out, but he landed some huge blows. For safety of the fighters, this is why they shouldnt complain when refs make what seems like early stoppages.
 
It's a shame we don't get the Gus v Jones rematch for the time being

But Johnson is a fecking beast.

Still think Jones will destroy him though
 
Good win that, he's just another guy for Jones to destroy though.
 
What an anti-climax. Everybody over here has been so hyped for this fight. Wasn't even close though obviously.
 
Jones will take Rumble imo. Want to see how they hype it though :)
 
I think Rumble will take Jones. The speed and power of his punches will be too much for Jones. All it takes is for him to connect with one and its over.
 
Fully expect Jones to keep it at range early. Tie Rumble up as he surges forward and then lock in a submission of some sort.

Felt sorry for Gustafsson. The look of a man that had a title challenge in the bag, took the fight and lost it all. Theoretically he's comfortably number 3 in the pecking order but I can't see him landing a title shot for another 7/8 months at least.

It should be Gus vs DC. I'd give him a shot if he wins that fight.
 
Gutted for Gus, he really got rumbled.

If Johnson catches Jones with one of his hooks it'll be night night. Too bad he probably won't though, really starting to like him, seems like a great humble fella.

next week Anderson Silva feck yeah
 
Those last two punches are fecking brutal. Gus wasn't getting out of there, I know it's an important fight but he could have stopped this way sooner imo.

The ref might have been under some kind of pressure after Rogan* complained the whole night for the early stoppings (that were not even early).

but yeah... those last 2 vicious punches/upper cuts could have been avoided. Gus was just covering his head in pain... a big guy like him won't stay down that easy unless he is hurt.


* had to eat his own words in the end
 
Johnson's win was huge. It certainly is going to be a big fight for Jones.
it will be interesting...
Johnson used to fight at WW (well he occasionally made weight)- He even weighed in at 197 for a MW fight at one point so he does at least now look to be fighting at a weight he can perform at. (he even fought at HW in 2014)
Out of Johnsons 4 defeats two has been when he missed weight (and was presumably dehydrated to fek) one was a technical KO when he retured from an accidental eye poke and his only other defeat was at WW to Kos
Jones will be the favourite and rightly so given the quality of opponent he has dispatched throughout his reign as champion but if one of those big clubbing overhand right haymakers that Johnson was throwing connects then that could change everything (that said I think cormier is a better striker its just so difficult to get Jones in range without being taken down / taking damage yourself)
 
Conor McGregor did the Q and A for UFC 183, confirms the fight with Aldo is on July 11th.

UFC 183 weigh in's have just started too. Diaz no showed the Embedded stuff earlier this week and had everybody talking. Can't wait for tomorrow. Sadly Gastelum is apparently set to miss weight and was hospitalised during a weight cut, interested to see the weigh in here, fight will still go on. Dude is the real deal but this isn't the first time he's had this happen.

Edit: Lineker comes in at five lbs over, ridiculous.
