The MMA Thread: DON'T ASK 4 STREAMS & NO GIFS- Cannonier, Imavov, Reyes, Rosas on NOW

[shogun]

Props to Maia. I always think he's going to get blasted but he dominated and subbed 2 savages in brown and Condit without taking heavy damage. That's really impressive.

 

[jewseejay]

Pettis is not a champion. It's that simple.

Too many holes. How are you on that level and can't sprawl? :x

 

[carver]

Maia at 170 

Pettis still won't do anything against the top guys at 145 

 Aldo/Frankie would both give him that work. Conor is probably gonna fight at 155

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Pettis did a decent job at first defending the takedown, hopefully izzy continues to tighten it up because it's not gonna get the job done at this point

I was however very impressed by Pettis ability to reverse positions on the mat. Pretty amazing actually to pull those off on oliveria

How the hell does Pettis have subs on bendo, Gil and oliveria?? Insane

 

[QU!K]

Oh my fault it was only one person saying that

I really want to see Pettis vs Edgar but you're right, Edgar would probably wrestle **** him

How about Ricardo Lamas?

McGregor vs. Aldo
Edgar vs. Holloway
Pettis vs. Lamas

All on the same card

Stephens or lamas would be fine. They'd both try to wrestle him probably lol

I'm interested to see if cub and team Jackson would be willing to have him fight Pettis. Seems like it'd be awkward though

Honestly stylistically if Conor takes the Aldo rematch, I would like to see Pettis go up against Holloway for the new #1 contender. Max deserves a shot now though

 

[af1 1982]

Wait, what? Seriously? Wow.. Where'd you see this

Looks like one judge even gave the second round to Pettis as well

Gawd!! Has to be one of the worst scores I've read in a while

 

[freshbottoms]

Been saying for awhile....after the drug use in the sport next worst thing is the judges. Never know what they are looking at or how they scored a round. Getting paid on the side from a corner??

 

[Maserati Fox]

Just got around to watching the fights, that Lauzon/Miller fight was awesome. Really happy for Maia, dude is a true martial artist. He deserves that title shot

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Lawler has long been campaigning for a fight in New York and cowboy just tweeted that "he knows a guy"

WELP

 

[QU!K]

If RDA folded Cowboy I don't know what Robbie gonna do to him

He must have a death wish

Cowboy don't have that Woodley power

 

[illphillip]

He'll fight Condit's fight. Stick and move.

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Cowboy has improved his boxing with Gibson

I would have thought cowboy would be food after the rda Nate and Pettis fights but if he can avoid the body shots and keep his head off center line it can be a good fight

 

[spiderjericho]

I hope Cowboy takes the fight. I want one more Lawler bloodbath. The MSG crowd would be excited about it too. That would be a great co main event.

So are MSG and the New Year's card supposed to be stacked?

And what about the Toronto card and rumored GSP return?

I think the body shots really came into play cuz of the cut to 55. I think that's why his coaches n the ufc like him at 70

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Could be a good point. I think he can give lawler a run for his money, especially seeing how much he's been getting hit in his recent fights

I would love to see cowboy make a title run at 70, who would have ever predicted that

 

[ben roethlisberger]

And especially because Robbie hasn't been the same since he got off the juice.

What? His most most recent fight? woodley would probably knock out anyone in the division with that punch.

might as well have snoop do his entrance song for his next fight vs conor

Snoop is a bandwagoner would make more sense for him to do a song for Conor since he won last

 

[OTG]

robbie dumb as hell for trying to rush back after getting his **** scrambled a month ago... he should take the rest of the year off.

 

[ben roethlisberger]

He hasn't been the same since his last fight with Hendricks, imo. His fighting style and strategy changed and his body most definitely changed. Post USADA Robbie is not the same guy.

 

[jayt1202]

robbie dumb as hell for trying to rush back after getting his **** scrambled a month ago... he should take the rest of the year off.

I kind of agree but given that robbie did take all those fights after losing to Hendricks the first match I'm not surprised he wants to return so fast. Dude just loves to fight it seems. Can't be mad at that.

Lawler-Cowboy would be a great match.

 

[maicolkickhead]

How much did miller and lauzon get paid? Those guys stay putting on a show, they deserve to be well compensated

I honestly dont see the outraged for a 10-8 round 1 for pettis. Pettis clearly hurt oliveira badly and stuffed his take downs
