The MMA thread

Ortega!! Believe the hype!! He's fecking sensational!
 
The 145 division is complete crap. Basically everyone is a sacrificial lamb for Cyborg. They desperately need new fighters to come up.
 
Still cant get over Ortega. That was slick as feck. Hurt him with an elbow then I'm sure he lifted him of the ground with an uppercut!
 
Cyborg calling out Nunes. Now that would be an epic fight

She would fecking destroy Nunes....epicless....Nunes lost to that Russian chick imo.

How can anyone not like Ortega...brilliant all around fighter and from the looks of things a really good guy outside the octagon. Definitely someone to look up to.
 
Hernandez - dirty. Did not like the way he opened the fight one bit. Darush was completely unprepared for shenanigans and on top of that, the kid is clearly a ferocious athlete. Don't think it would play out like that if they rematched, but that doesn't matter as a fighter is supposed 'keep their hands up at all times' and it's on Darush that he didn't.

Ortega - so smooth. Everything looks easy for him. The way he takes his time and the shot/finish selection he has is the stuff of champions.

Cyborg - it's just stupid to have a division where she is the only natural weight for it. It's just a serving of sacrificial lambs and there's nothing interesting in that.
 
What did Hernandez do at the start? Missed it.

Was wrong about the Edgar fight. Ortega v Max will be explosive.
 
Yeah. Decent of him. Frankie is a loveable guy.

What shenanigans did Hernandez pull? I missed it.

I thought it was a bit funny that he said he should have been the first to stop him.

I'm not sure. I think something happened straight after they touched gloves.
 
Hernandez ran straight into, effectively a touch glove feint against a flat-footed Darush and doubled it up into a boot and flurry of punches. Darush was completely unprepared for such conduct and was a mile outside a fight comfort zone by then and tried to match pace with a tornado well after it being too late.

Say what you will, but that had a huge sway in why the fight went as it did. Hernandez is getting plaudits for his opportunism more than anything imo.
