The MMA thread

:lol:

I got him by submission next.

He needs to do something special if he wants the 50k though.

I mean he’s technically excellent. He’s got the right balance. He moves so well. His striking and ground game are ver good. I’ve high hopes for Zabit. Stylistically, he’s so good to watch!

yeah the guy is a beast, i was laughing at the way he "talks".

The fight with Yair hopefully is later this year.
 
How is that guy ranked 15? He’s clearly top of his game!

Let’s hope Yair is up for the fight or someone else.. he needs to step up now. That was too easy for him.
 
Money Mendes vs Zabit, nice one. But got Zabit all day.

Er, I could be wrong but I heard some guy who is pretty close to Khabib and Zabit saying that Zabit is more complete fighter. I think as far as now, Khabib is more effective but Zabit is excellent to watch! If he can live up to our expectation just... please!

Yair is obviously up for the fight, but unlucky he very well might get leapfrogged now by Zabit haha, deservedly though, you have to be active.

Zabit, Barzola, Volkanovski... some tough guys creeping into the top 10 of the division.
 
No way Conor is stopping take downs from Khabib. McGregor wins this by sparking him out in either first or second. I can just see Khabib walking into a left hook. If Khabib can close distance on Conor it’s good night Conor. I like Conor but it’s a bad match up imo.
 
Hos is "lbs" pounds?
Never understood this.
 
Unless something incredible happens in the next fight the bonus has to go to Neal Camacho fight. Good card but that was the fight for me. Not very technical but entertaining as feck.
 
shiit... Andrade vs Namajunas gonna be a good one. Rose has more resources than Karolina, but i don't know she can handle that power.

Suarez vs Joanna next?
 
Lol Joe Rogan is spazzing out.. Khabib vs Conor is apparently biggest fight ever or something.. er.. no. Most hyped.. maybe
 
DC is obviously being the next full time commentator after he retires. I actually like listening to him as well. Though, I love DC.
 
feck I hope Till gets emptied. I don’t know.. and I know he’s good and he’s here to stay but I just don’t like him.

DC and Felder are both pretty good. I will miss Rogan but at the same time, his voice is annoying at this point.

I don't mind Till personally, but the way he is being fast tracked to the top piss me up.

Hopefully he gets sparked next. Come on Tyron!!

Wait, what? Is Rogan leaving? I have a love hate relationship with Joe like. Common Tyron!!
 
I'd like both of these to lose, is that possible? :)
 
Till looks way taller than 6ft. I’m 511 and I look like like midget.
 
Joe Rogan with a very good point, that Till has Muay Thai behind him and he can defend a clinch. Something we all know but not something we necessarily think of.
 
Till.. Too naive.. he got picked apart
 
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.

Strong analysis there Pat :rolleyes:. Great top control from Woodley and an impeccable performance overall.

He's more complete than Khabib for sure. So creative and relaxed in the stand up game even though he's arguably even better at wrestling/grappling. Far too early to tell if he'll be the better fighter though, as Khabib just excels in his area of expertise and imposes it on everybody.. His boxing defence looked a bit lacklustre in his last fight and if that wasn't down to complacency that could really get exploited as he steps up in competition. As it is, he looks like a potential all-time great in the making.
 
Suarez like they said in commentary is basically the female version of Kahbib. She’d smash Rose, probably JJ also but you’ve got to give the fight to Andrade, Knocks Karolina out cold and is the number 2 contender already. Standard UFC will probably be to give Suarez the shot and try and make her a star by jumping her up the rankings quickly.

JJ vs Valentina for the 125 title has to happen, saw a pic someone put of the two of them talking at an event in the stand. Not sure if it was this one or from a previous event but I wanna see it.

Till’s fight pretty much ended when that right landed, T Wood didn’t even need to use his wrestling, just smashed him after that until Till gave him the finish. Props to till tho for taking as much punishment as he did, tough SOB.
