The MMA thread

It's been great fun so far

Sometimes these cards you think won't be all that much can really surprise
 
That was a great fight. Really enjoying this card so far and I must say it's nice to watch UFC at a reasonable time :D
 
Glover has a fecking chin on him. Very smart fight from Gus, he looks really good. Glover only needs one punch though.
 
What a fight. Glover has lost every round. His heart and chin are keeping him in it.
 
Gustafsson looked amazing, that combo in the second round was poetic. That finish was just brutal.
 
Glover needs serious time off. Some heavy losses lately.
 
Love Gustafsson, so fun to watch. Really fun fight that one. Surely has to get the winner of Jones/Cormier now. Crazy that he still hasn't fought Jones again almost four years on from that ridiculously close loss which quite a few felt he won.
 
Best performance of Gus' career?

Gus jabbed the feck out of Glover and took advantage of him leaning forward with those wonderful uppercuts. He looked sharp and was very precise with his shots. He also had a good defence with his head movement but my only concern is the running away (he got caught a couple of times). Glover showed a lot of heart out there, but basic things like controlling distance/posture would have prevented those uppercuts landing.

 
1 Anthony Johnson uppercut = 20 of the mauler.

If he only had a little more power in his hands he could be Champ.

What's Next For the division?

Manuwa vs Gustafsson and Volkan vs Shogun?
 
Don't think Cirkunov is done, just got caught by a weird punch. Mauler looked awesome. Hope to see him fight Jones again.

Don't think Jimi and Gus are willing to fight each other again, having trained together so extensively after their first fight. Surely Gus will get the winner of Jones/DC, and if I were him I'd be staying in shape in the meantime; DC/Jones has the propensity to fall through at any moment, as we've seen. That would leave Jimi to fight Shogun/Oezdemir, assuming he plans on sticking around LHW.

On an unrelated note, did anyone see Rumble's tweet? Seems like he's got cold feet over the "retirement" already..
 
Kaikara France was on my ferry yesterday. Not sure if he is a good fighter or not?
 
Great performance from Gus. Not as good as when he more or less beat Jon Jones (minus the judges). He needs a rematch with the Jones/Cormier winner imo.
 
Nice, articulate and impressive interview from Gadelha. Interesting that she says she needs more time to develop in order to beat JJ. Really looking forward to her fighting Karolina tonight. Like Karolina too, but Gadelha's got more to her game and surely has the edge. Not sure who I want to win lol.





Hope Holloway can do the business against Aldo, i find him a really likeable guy.
