The MMA thread

Split decision seems correct, wouldn't have been angry at either winning it was that close.

That was a fantastic fight.
That main card does not look worth of a ppv. Should have been a fight night IMO.

In fairness it was booked as a PPV with two title fights, Shevchenko and Yair - Zabit, which sounded a lot better.
 
Love watching Diego Sanchez fight.
 
That was brilliant. Camacho is a tough motherfecker.
 
Watching this making me even more pumped for ufc 229. It’s McGregor vs Khabib vs Ferguson at the least as long as 2 of of them don’t pull out. It’s going to be tasty. Personally, I think McGregor would get fecked up by both of them.

How do we think this fight will go ? Personally I think Woodley will take him down and try to rack up as many points as possible that way to avoid Till's reach advantage landing any lucky punches.

I've went back and forth on this fight loads...initially favoured Woodley, then switched to Till, now after seeing Till look horribly drained at the weigh ins I'm predicting Woodley again. In a striking battle Till seems to have more tools and I could easily see him countering Woodley's right hand with his excellent left counters. Woodley is lethally fast and explosive but it tends to be single shots from him and Till is particularly calm and composed as a striker so I can see him avoiding that big right hand and generally outworking him. Woodley's wrestling should be a great equaliser but it seems to have been ages since he last used it consistently and there's never any guarantee that it's still there (best example is probably Dan Henderson, who was an Olympic-calibre Greco-Roman wrestler whose grappling declined horribly towards the end of his career).

Stylistically it favours Till imo, but I'm not completely sold on his overall level yet whereas Woodley has prevailed against a consistently high calibre of opposition, and is probably significantly less weakened than Till by the their respective weight cuts.
 
Looking forward to Zabit but it should be a straight forward victory for him.
 
Camacho deserves 50k bonus for that war cry and show of defiance alone. Great moment.
 
That lasted shorter than sex...
 
Darren Till vs Tyron Woodley tonight
GGG vs Canelo Next week
McGregor vs Khabib October 6th
Nate Diaz vs Dustin The Diamond on November 3rd
Nunes vs Chris Cyborg 29th December

That’s some few months we’ve got... I know I’ve a boxing fixture in there but still...
 
Zabit is the most exciting name in ufc right now. Let’s go again. By the way, Zabit can bearly speak Russian. :lol:
