The MMA thread

:lol: Just heard about Jon Jones... oh dear.

Amazed at how quickly everyone is throwing him under the bus though. I don't believe he'd willingly take PED's, you can call me naive but I really don't. Especially after being such a long time out.
After every misdemeanour the level of patience/tolerance among peers and fans understandably lowers. If this was his first doughnut moment the reaction would be different, but it's not. Silly git.

He fecked up his foot against OSP, it's not outside the realm of possibility that he wanted a little help to recover fast enough for 200, people are quick to throw him under the bus but he sorta brought that on himself over the last two years or so.

Last I heard he popped for 2 substance, so he took something, wither it was intentional or not is kinda moot at this point
 
Night number two

Can't see it being as good as last night, but some interesting fights all the same
 
yeah, a favourite of mine. Its cool when you follow this guys from the very beginning to see the whole evolution.

guys like Yair Rodriguez or Jake Mathews, where are they gonna be in 5 years time... interesting.

come on Jake!!!
 
Joanna is an absolute beast. She predicted Claudia couldn't go 5 rounds and that 4th round was just sheesh all over on Claudia. Sge is going to be sore all over tomorrow. Scored that round a 10-8 to JJ.
 
How did he become so shite?
Honestly I think certain fights really take it out of certain fighters and they are never the same again

Those two fights Maynard had with Edgar were really epic. The first was a 5 round draw and the 2nd was a 5 rounder but he got knocked out badly in the 5th...he never looked the same after that.

Yeah probably. Edgar seems to have gone from strength to strength. I think Edgar does a serious job on Aldo later.
 
Predictions for Brock Lesnar vs Hunt?

I think Lesnar will destroy lard-arse Hunt. Brock will tire him out and then finish him with a couple of F-5s, just like he did to the Undertaker.
 
Brock looked jacked at the weigh ins. Had a relaxed demeanor too

 
Just caught up on the last card. I just love Joanna's fighting style and skills. So entertaining. Well deserved UD, no way Claudia was ever going to keep up that pressure. She went 100% from the start, probably hoping to get an early finish. Joanna weathered the storm and completely took over.

Also Korean superboy has dynamite in his hands. One of the most exciting unpcoming fighters around. Certain Mcgregor vibes in the cage.
 
not the best card ever but yeah,. the korean boy and Tatiana were the stand outs of the night for me and both got bonuses. good.

Tatiana looks like she gonna take over the division some day. watch out Joanna...

6 hours to go!! (early prelims, not to miss)
 
Too bad i'm going out drinking tonight, probably be too wasted to watch UFC200.
That fight card is ridicolous... Even the prelims would make a quite ok main card :p

Hunt won't keep Lesnar off him. It's over after the first clinch imo

It's been a long time since Lesnar fought, let alone put in an impressive performance. He looks in shape but I'm not convinced that WWE-fit is the same as UFC-fit either.

Hunt to win imo.

It's a hard fight to call, Lesnar's time off makes it difficult but he has been keeping fit and does look the best he's looked but it is completely different once inside the octagon if he gets hit.

If I had to pick I'd say Lesnar, I think he'll get it to the ground early and Hunt doesn't have the ability to get him off him.
 
I'm going for a hunt first round TKO

brocks only chance IMO is to keep it on the ground and grind a decision
 
Lesnar for me. A bit of underrating of Lesnar and overrating of Hunt going on across the net IMO.

Brock will come storming out of the blocks to take Hunt down to the ground and finish him.

I'm with you. Brock is so much bigger and Hunt's cardio isn't great, I think he will take him down and finish him.
