RDA gotta punish that sloppiness.

Edit- can anyone counter punch like Conor? Not a fanboy statement just I've never seen anyone do it? He'd have killed Cloby's trash striking by now.
 
Woodley gonna sleep both of these guys. Hell Max would beat their ass with his striking. Absolute amateurs on the feet.
 
Conor has a better chance sleeping these bums than he has against Khabib. Horrible stand up.
 
Impressed with Colby but Woodley knocks his ass out. Can't walk chin up into a puncher like that.
 
If you had any doubt Conor, Max and Khabib kill these guys. Great fight but an amateur one overall.
 
Significant strikes are pretty even. Good 5th round may win it for either.

Great scrap but amateur. Max could kill both these guys. Chin up straight in the air on both sides with no punishment for it.

Edit- doesn't Woodley kill either guy? Can't take him down and he'll destroy you with a punch if you pressure him.
 
Honestly Conor don't beat Woodley but he sleeps both of those guys with their chin up style.
 
Lol Woodley is gonna kill this guy! Can't take him down and he'll smash him with his chin up style. Max and DJ are the only complete champs.
 
Funny thing is that Rory is the only one that can can beat Woodley and they let him go. He's boring but he beats everyone else.

TJ is pretty complete. I also think he’d destroy DJ.
 
God didn't help your weight fatboy! Should have been Rockhold doing this even though I don't like him, let's go Rob.

He should fight Max in a super fight instead of going after a smaller guy! I reckon DJ's speed kills him but it'd be a great fight! Just fighters should go up weight not down. I really like TJ but he should prove he can make the weight first.
 
YES!!! feck Roidmero. Go fight Jones you juicy light heavyweight. WAR ROB what a champion!!!

Juicy slut Romero, can't even make weight you dick!! Honestly see how you get on with Jones or DC because you ain't a middleweight you fat feck.
 
Romero's problem is he is too reliant on one off explosive moves and doesn't have the cardio to deal with opponents who are in great shape (like Whitaker). He will do even worse at LHW where the competition is much better.
 
Oh wow Joe, how about the guy fights in his weight class? Rob recovered each time against a guy who ain't even in the weightclass. Proper bloody champion. feck Roidmero. Let's let him juice against Jones and then call it a 10-8 when he gets fecked up. Stupid weight cutters fight at your own weight you pussies. Rob beat his ass except for a light heavyweight hitting him once or twice. When do guys who miss weight get punished? Till is number 2 whwn he's a Middleweight, Khabib is a champion in a weight he can make every so often. It's a joke.
 
Rogan is intolerable he really is. He has an obvious narrative and pushes it regardless of what happens it’s hard to listen to.

Enjoyed the card. Punk fight a joke he’s done now surely no interest in him fighting. The rest of card was good. I think Colby could cause Woodley problems. Glad Whittaker won not really a fan of Romero to be honest.
 
Interesting main event. Could have gone either way. Whittaker more busy but Romero with the more brutal strikes. Lot of heart from Whittaker to stay in it. The last round was definitely a 10-8 to Romero though!
 
I thought that decision was kind of bullshit to be honest. Yoel deserved at least one 10-8 round without a doubt. Nonetheless I certainly wouldn't complain about seeing a potential third fight, both fights have been corkers. Romero will be missed when he retires. That kind of explosive excitement does not come by often and he's got an interesting background and character.

Unfortunately the weight cut is getting tough for him in his old age, but people are being a little harsh imo, he was a wrestler at 84/85 kg his entire career. He's a middleweight but when you force your body to cut water like that it's said to get harder and harder each time, now imagine he's been doing it for 20 years. Also there was something weird about this weigh in where he wasn't given the extra time to cut the last pound that is normally given.

Whitaker v Weidman would seem a logical next fight. Ordinarily Rockhold would be in the mix but he just got knocked out by Romero after Whitaker beat Romero twice, so that would be an odd pairing.

Whittaker presumably will be out again for awhile with his hand injury so it's a good chance to make some sort of number one contender fight. Weidman is 1-3 in the last 4 so feel like he needs another one to get the shot. Maybe Weidman - Rockhold 2?
 
Roughly which event are they lining up Covington-Woodley for
And has there been any update on Mcgregor's legal stuff following the bus incident, as I presume all that needs sorting first

As far as I know its just talk from Covington's end so far. As for McGregor, he and Dana apparently talked recently and I'm guessing his return will be dictated by how the legal case pans out.

Gastelum is the next logical one IMO. Obviously the broken hand for Whittaker changes a lot but Weidman is also injured too.

Also Dana revealed at the PC that Gastelum was supposed to be on stand by for last nights title fight but wasn't due to 'personal issues'. Interesting to see what those issues were, possibly weed? Didn't sound too happy at all.
