The MMA thread

Bochniak might be one of the greatest 5 round fighters in history!

I'd put money on him to face block so many punches, wooooooo so many times, and exhaust pretty much anyone over 4 rounds that he could win by stoppage in the 5th!
 
Zabit! What a fecking ninja. Trip was beatuful too.
 
Moincano a good fighter. Would have beat Ortega had he not tried a take down in the last round. :lol:
 
ufff awesome fight coming up! i hope it gets to the championship rounds!

I feel the ground game of Rose can make the difference in case she can't crack the standup game like last time.
 
Zabit? How is he 6'1 and 145lbs? I haven't carried that weight since I was 16 and I thought I was skinny!!
 
I thought it was 1-2-5 Rose, 3-4 Joanna. I thought the judges might give Joanna 1 though. No way it was 4-1. Glad Rose won.

#KHABIBTIME
 
Im going to come out on the limb here and say Khabib is the best grappler since Korelin. He is sick. And like not that this fight made think that. It's just his ability to predict moves. It's like chess and Khabib is Kasparov. Seriously sick.
 
Khabib is taking the piss... not like cause Khabib is great on his feet. Far from it. Khabib is just not taking this seriously..
 
That was absolute domination bell to bell.

Rogan shitting on Khabib for not rag dolling him on the ground in 3 and 4 is a joke. Al was supposed to be the better more dangerous striker and Khabib outlanded him like 130-16.
 
Rogan is absolutely insufferable. Constantly bigging up certain fighters and skewing the narrative.

Completely dominant performance from Khabib and yet these clowns are talking about Tony and Conor.

I think you're crazy.

Khabib is a smothering pressure fighter. Al is a hard dude to keep on the ground. What is Tony going to do? His striking is nothing to write home about. Roll for a knee bar? Khabib will do what Khabib does. Pressure pressure pressure give you no room, and then you're on the ground with a dude with a silky russian accent whispering into your ear while punching you in your mouth and ear.

I think he picks Khabib apart as he's coming in. And Tony is so much better off his back than Iaquinta. Al's striking was abysmal, whereas Tony's is fantastic, just look at what he did to Dos Anjos on the feet.

Plus he's got Diaz levels cardio.
 
I definitely think Khabib took his foot off the gas after the 2nd round - possibly because he felt he had the fight under control. He wouldn't do that against a better opponent. See the Barboza fight for that.

I do think Khabib needs a marquee fight to finally shut the doubters up.

Barboza is 2x the striker Ferg is, at least, and he had nothing for Khabib zombie moding into him.

The person that Khabib has to worry about, is a big punching wrestler, someone with legit one shot KO power. Conor only sort of had that power at 145, and it doubtful he has it at 155 (one shot KO power). Conors big KOs relied on the dude literally leaping into the shot face first. The rest have been accumulation of damage. Ferg does not have, or at least has never shown that kind of power either.

Conor has a punchers chance. Ferg, I don't think he has much of a chance period. Something crazy could happen, but this fight with Al was so one sided, I mean, it was one of the most lop sided fights IVE EVER SEEN. People are bagging on him cause he didn't finish him? Khabib has never been a finisher, he's a punisher. He sits on you and punches you until you mentally break, and then he punishes you more. If you expect Khabib to knock everyone out, that's not what he is known for. He's known for taking years off your life by giving you brain trauma.

That's what I'm thinking, but Khabib is talking about fighting fecking GSP.

please no more of that, defend belts before demanding shit.

Who would he fight at LW. Conor is out of action for a while, possibly the rest of this year and Dana said he won't book Tony v Khabib yet again.

feck that. That's the fight to make.

But if for once in his lifetime he goes through with his word, there are plenty fighters in the division.
