The MMA thread

The nerves are kicking in, come on Jojo.

Is it just me or do the gaps between fights seem massive compared to usual? I feel like it’s taking forever.
 
Violence queen neutralised and out classed. Although that first 20 seconds the fear was in with that combo. She moved well she clearly hits hard but this is JoJo all the way.
 
excellent from jo jo. I havent seen Lipski before but she didnt live up to the hype. she seemed very one dimensial.

Looked way smaller too. Maybe Strawweight is better for her.

Not sure about that, I think Jojo is quite big at that weight but if you see the video of Lipski doing pads with Cyborg she doesn’t look that much smaller.

Just impressed with how much improvement Jojo has made in her ground game. The last 2 fights she’s looked really good and when she is on her back she looks dangerous. That first round when she just controlled her, that was impressive.
 
Finally home from work!

Have i missed anything good yet?

3:37 am, but i have beer and pizza ready.
No, your life is sad.

Cool, just saw the card, and noticed they were in prelims, afraid i missed it.

Why is Cerrone in prelims? I don't follow mma close enough to know very much yet, but thought he was sort of a big'ish name?

If JOJO fought at straweight, i don't think Lipski would have any problem to make weight there. I think its a big possibility.

the UFC stacked this card because it's the ESPN debut. I think he goes back to main cards after this one (if he wins).
 
Hernandez had good first half of that round, but Cerrone was much better second half of it, think maybe Cerrone took it?
Will be surprised if we see a third round.

Who knows, to me she just looked tall and lean as in that is her body type so I wouldn’t have thought she could cut that much as she didn’t look fleshy to me. Her shoulders were massive and defined. Just think going to 115 would be too much.

I noticed at tale of the tape it said they were both 5ft 6 but during the week Lipski looked so much taller.

My first time seeing Hernandez and he’s a gamer, constantly on the move but Cowboy is on it.
He’s gone surgical with some of these shots.
 
Jesus, he was out for a long time there Ref should have stopped that earlier. Looked like Cowboy punching him woke him back up.
That kick. That was classic Cowboy.

He could have stopped it earlier, but Hernandez did defend himself.
Surprised how much he could take.

Yeah its just there is a moment in the sequence of punches where he is clearly out and not defending himself and taking more punches and the ref is just sitting there, then Hernandez wakes back up and grabs Cowboy then the ref jumps in.

Very hard to judge it, but i'm sure if he had stopped earlier, people would be saying that Hernandez was defending himself, and it shouldn't been stopped.
Don't think he was far off getting it perfect.
