The MMA thread

Dramatic ending to a slightly disappointing fight in terms of action. I thought Holm lacked aggression from the start. They both competed fairly and the winner was truly decided in the ring. I bet Holm wishes she waited for the big rematch with Rousey.
 
I imagine Dana is crying now. If Conor losses he might commit seppuku :lol:
 
I know there's always prefight nonsense and posturing, but there seems an excitingly genuine level of hatred between Cormier and Jones!

Oh they genuinely hate eachother. Look what happened last time they fought.

I doubt it. Ronda has a fantastic chance of getting the belt back now (unfortunately). Styles make fights and she matcher up so much better with Miesha. Still it's great for Miesha that she gets to call herself UFC champion, even if she loses to Ronda in her next fight.

But we don't know when Ronda is coming back, she seems to be enjoying her time away, unless I missed some news? Holly is a much bigger sell than Miesha, a Holly v Ronda fight would have been huge.

But a title rematch would make MUCH more money. People probably don't care seeing Ronda beat Tate again... Anyways... Here we go!!!
 
When it looked like it was going to decision I was sure Holly would win, got to keep the rematch alive. I think Rousey/Tate is obviously a less marketable fight, and if Tate wins then they probably fight again for a trilogy, right?

I imagine so, until Ronda wins!

Anyway, here we go. Conor looking in great shape.
 
And Connor took it to the ground. Huge mistake.

Reality check for Conor. Back to 145 you go. There was a reason he was cutting so much weight and he lost track of it due to his fame. He's bloody lucky RDA got injured.

That power doesn't transfer up the weight classes. Nate ate a number of shots that would have finished featherweights.
