The MMA thread

They should stay retired, Conor and Rockhold excepted

Rockhold because I can’t say no to a Rockhold KO.

I think he's been KO'd enough already

If it keeps happening, he will have some sort of CTE or mental issue after the fighting career.

I mean, by that logic, he is the one who should stay retired.
 
I would like it more if Mcgregor was KO'd. Just to see his reaction...
Oh yeah for sure. Plenty of KOs to go round. I wish Rockhold, McGregor, Colby, Cejudo etc all had to face Ngannou one by one. That would be a sight to see :lol:

Woodley might do one of these. Not holding out much hope but Colby was outstruck by Demian Maia of all people

Yeah just need Woodley to let them hands go so Colby can catch that fade.

I remember a hilarious interview Woodley had with Helwani when he was champ and said how he'd choke Colby until he turns blue like a blueberry, then pummel on him. If the ref comes to stop the fight, Woodley said he'd stop hitting Colby and tell the ref to step back, give Colby time to recover then pummel on him some more.

But Woodley now would probably pretend he can't continue off a grin strike or something just to not lose.

I find this match intriguing as Woodley absolutely cannot lose, or his career is pretty much gonna be finished by Colby of all people.

I doubt it would be finished. Lawler is still there, they can run it back, or Woodley can just start calling out the Diaz brothers again...

Just one week away!
 
McGregor aparantly arrested for flashing his junk on Corsika :lol:
 
I doubt it's true about McGregor this time. He's a major target for set-ups now. We've seen the likes of Fergie in South Africa, Van Persie, Neymar etc all been set up in the past. McGregor is with his family in Corsica, preparing for a grueling water bike race which he has now missed, there trying to clean up his image. I just don't think he's there hanging out in nightclubs and acting like Jack the lad. I'd honestly say he went for a pint, Some hooker paid by a tabloid or something chatted him up and then made false accusations. I'm happy to stand corrected but just smells like a set-up to me.
 


Worst part, that wasn't the first he got.

He got kicked by the same kick like 6 minutes before. Went down in pain for 5 minutes and then they resume the fight. 30 seconds later, the second kick happened and the fight was over.

It wasn't the only NC of the night as well. Other fighter got kneed in the nuts.

Bellator was overall a terrible event last night. I need for good action tonight to compensate.

Prelims for UFC Vegas 10 starting now.
 
Sometimes you have to question the heavies ufc bring in. Romanov is a fatty but at least it’s somewhat acceptable.

Martinez has no business being a professional athlete. And although I’m sure he can hit hard and can take a beating, he is just not a good look for the sport.

The pandemic has opened the door for a lot of subpar level fighters to join the UFC.
 


That was weird. But still it was a close fight and to me it was 48 47 for Michelle. Also, some people insists that significative strikes is the only parameter the judges have to look at... when its stated otherwise all the time
 
The September 19 card is really, reaaaally good. Whoever matched Kevin Holland and Darren Stewart up is a matchmaking genius!

This is really good. Actually makes me mad that mmafighting never goes into that stuff. Amazing how many mma fighters believe in such things.

I'd say that fighters are different from most human beings, for good and for bad reasons. They have more work rate, more determination, can handle more difficult stuff, often come back from impossible situations in fights they are losing...

but since they spend every day in that ''tough guy'' environnment, they can't see the world quite like ''normal'' people (in the day-to day working in the streets sense)

Surprised Luke Thomas wasn't included :lol:
