The MMA thread

Nice finish by Kelleher. I'm expecting another night filled with great fights - I think the lack of crowd is a blessing in disguise at times.
 
That’s why Herb is such a good ref. Letting it go would just have been prolonging the inevitable. Alex the Great wasn’t complaining.
 
Smith did well to last so long I suppose but it looked like Glover was toying with him or at least was having a party. The ref couldve stopped it earlier and I wouldve agreed
 
LHW is a sad, sad division. Hard to get excited for anything related to Jones. You just know he'll win every time.

Glover loses to Reyes or Jan 100%. Smith was never a true contender although tough.

Shame he continues to shy away from the Heavyweight division. Santos and Reyes both ran him close and I know there's potential rematches there but at this point in his career I think the most interesting thing would be seeing him challenge himself and stepping up to HW which he's been cocky enough to act like he could easily do. Now is the time, there's nothing left to prove at LHW in a division that desperately needs a revamp and fresh young hungry talent.

I think it would be glorious seeing Ngannou take off Jones head.

Would love to see it. Ngannou decapitating him.

 
Jon's just throwing that out there to further distract everyone from his latest DUI. He has a good chin but has he met anybody with anything close to Ngannou's power. The light heavyweight division is boring and he should move up, but I think he's too protective of his legacy by this point to risk getting uppercut to the stars like Overeem.

Ngannou lost to Derrick Lewis.
 
Jon lost to the Albuquerque Police Department.

Everyone takes an L at some point.

What does this have to do with Jones fighting Ngannou ?

We've already seen Ngannou lose multiple fights against two fighters with completely different skillsets, so what's to say Jones couldn't do the same.

1. Absolutely nothing. Jones is a prick and I like to point that out.

2. I certainly didn't say that. What I am saying is, Ngannou has one big asset which is the power to turn out anybody's lights, and Jones -- the better fighter - is averse to that risk. If he does take the fight, good for him, but until then, pinch of salt.
