The MMA thread

Lombard looks half the size here.

Edit: not like Woodley v Till where Tyron was much thicker, Lombard seriously looks a weight class or more smaller.
 
This thread is crazy. Oh I'll support a guy who is connected to a dictator who commits genocide just because he's fighting some guy who talks shit to sell his fight. I clearly fancy Khabib to beat Conor but for God's sake Khabib is a much worse human being than Conor is. I have never wanted Conor to take a guy out as much as this (even though he has a 1% chance to do so). In fact I hope he does it and then stands over Khabib and tells him to recognise Conor as his real God and bonus points for him knocking out Khabib's piece of shit manager. Khabib and his manager are actual pieces of shit human beings.

Anyway dreaming over, Khabib will submit him in the second as long as his pumpkin head can take a punch. Notes are that no one will blast Khabib for fighting below his weight class like Conor at FW even though Khabib has missed weight like Conor never did. If Khabib ever moves up to his true weight class then Woodley will destroy him.

On Jones- I'm weirdly OK with him coming back. I'd love this to mean that DC beats him but that will never happen roids or no roids (by the way the 40 year old double champ is 'definitely' not on anything- they all are). However if Jones fights Gus on his first fight back then he's getting his first loss.
 
Am I the only one who rathers watching FLW to HW? One has really fast technical fighters and the other has guys who if it goes past 3 minutes that look like 2 inflatable wavy armed guys throwing at each other. Honestly DJ is technically a much better fighter than Stipe or DC. The only all time heavyweight fight is Hunt v Bigfoot 1 IMO. I know this is a low level fight but honestly they are dogshit fighters technically. Like watching Lukaku of today fight Lukaku of today.
 
Honestly Werdum might be the only one who really knows how to submit someone in that division.

Edit- apart from Olinenik obviously.
 


Can't say I'm really hyped with this new division. Unless they get rid of 170, it doesn't make sense.

Also, why Diaz is fighting for a belt? Pourier? None of these guys would have won a belt at a any current division, so now ensuring that one of them will be UFC champion is quite silly.

Dana gonna Dana i guess. (it's obvious he wants a champion Conor can defeat)

ps. I hope Dustin beats the crap out of Nate though. At least he has put the work in and been active.

Could GSP make 165 lbs or is that too much of a cut for him these days. If he could you could see him fight the winner of Conor v Khabib at that weight
 


Minister of Foreign Affairs of Chechnya Dzhambulat Umarov said that Irish MMA fighter Conor McGregor, who spoke negatively about Ramzan Kadyrov at a press conference with Khabib Nurmagomedov, behaves like an "outrageous clown" and "Mexican cock." This is reported by Govorit Moscow.

"We give him credit, he is a great master at the UFC, but he has come up as an outrageous clown who considers himself an inimitable showman. I consider to say his name next to Ramzan Kadyrov as an unjustifiable luxury," Umarov said.

"[He] could not stand by his words as a real man. Otherwise, he would not have made these statements for many thousands of kilometers and would not behave like a Mexican cock," Umarov stated.

At September 20, Conor McGregor, who traditionally offends opponents before the fight, criticized the father of Khabib Nurmagomedov and called him the quivering coward for a photo with Ramzan Kadyrov, whom he called a “dictator and warlord.”

After that, Chechnya urged McGregor to apologize; in particular, MMA fighter Khusein Khaliev. "For your words, in the cage or outside the octagon, you will have to answer, because we never forgive for harming the honor of our family or a person," said Khaliev.
 
Fedor criticized Kadyrov in 2016 and his 16 year old daughter was attacked and hospitalized while walking home from school. Probably would be best for Conor to go easy on all the Russian politics talk while promoting the fight.
 
UFC are reportedly trying to book Gustafsson vs Yoel Romero as the main event for UFC 230, for either the interim or official belt at light-heavy :drool:. Intriguing fight, and if it's an indication that Cormier is likely to see out his career at heavyweight then even better. Not sure about the logic of catapulting Romero straight into a title shot in a different division, but there's few other contenders with compelling cases, and I love Romero.

ps. This is a Mexican McNuggets (Aka Mexican Cock)

What in the feck are you talking about? Kadyrov? Genocide? You mean how he has been battling radical Islamists in Chechnya since the late 90's? Fought a precursor to ISIS in the Caucasus Emirate? Are we calling protecting the secular rights of your country from a theocratic Islamist takeover genocide now? Or has he waged an ethnic cleansing war against someone else that I am unaware of? I'm not saying he's a nice guy, and he's done horrible shit, but genocide?
 
Gonna be a fun card.

prelims starts in 15 minutes.

Haven't looked at the prelims but the main card is brilliant. A top notch prospect vs challenging opposition, an excellent welterweight fight with that tournament increasing the interest levels, the geriatric Wanderlei vs Rampage thing that everyone of a certain age will watch anyway, and that awesome main event. Superb.

Yep, the main card is lit.

I have no idea who these guys fighting the prelims are, but 2 fights in and its been good fun.
 
Not watched the whole event, but i have to say i like this tournament system a lot more than the money fights in UFC.
