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

I know MMA math isn't that accurate but we saw how cowboy did against a great boxer (Nate Diaz). 

Well that's why many of us are leaning or picking Jorge

Cowboys chin is also suspect af

To be fair this was many years ago..

 

[shogun]

He does have a habit of getting punched a lot by good boxers. Wasn't barboza lighting him up too before he got caught?

Her kegel game must be off the charts.

Cowboy lucked out in that fight. Barboza was connecting and had him dazed

Barboza doesn't have the best chin either lol

Also cowboys body is worse than his chin which is scary

 

[chino905]

That's true but Cerrone is at 170 now. Maybe the cut to 155 got his body weaker and couldn't take those body shots.

Definitely valid point

 

[illphillip]

Cowboy/Jorge and Sterling/Assuncao better deliver because I don't think there is a fight I really give a **** about in the entire month of Feb.

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Ngannou and arlvoksi will be a barn burner!

 

[illphillip]

Andre coming off 3 losses does nothing for me personally.

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Still a hell of a fight to me. If arlovski can pull it out I'd definitely be interested in him again

He's lost to some of the top guys in the world recently.. at least he seems hungry still

 

[jayt1202]

Yeah the AA/Ngannou definitely seems like a fight made to showcase Ngannou but I hope its at least competitive. 

LOL at calling a guy who's arguably on the way to a title shot with this or one more win a gatekeeper. I see Cerrone taking this by sub or decision.

This was funny .. after the video of them training jacare says this.. I'm sure it's the dynamic of their friendship but it's just funny how blunt jacare is

Dave Rickels just did the mannequin challenge as his walkout.

 

[g money 87]

I think assuncao works sterling over too

If they pass up both Romero and Jacare (if he wins) for Anderson though

I'm okay with that.

On another note:

What a c-word Rousey is.

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

It'd be kinda cool to see a Jacare vs Anderson rivalry ala the Vitor thing

Cowboy been repeating that he wants to fight on March 4. He wants Maia or Lawler next.... usually when he gets on these... he usually gets what he calls... 

It's also funny how his past two opponents have seemingly been concocting these storylines to trash Cowboy. Like, how can you actually say anything bad about the dude, he wants to be friends with you lol.. that strategy would work better for marketing on other fighters.. you have to come with a new angle

I need to see Conor and Cowboy fight though... that would be golden.. I've been calling it for the past few years

I'm okay with that.

Romero I'm kind of OK with because even though he's #1 contender, a few of his wins are suspect. I'm also not really a fan of his fights in general.

But I don't know about Anderson coming off a Brunson win.

Jacare is a beast. I'd like him to have his shot. But I'm not sure a Boetch win does it either.

Where is Luke? Could he fight Anderson if he wins while Bisping gets surgery?

Only "money" fight that made sense to me in terms of leapfrogging contenders was the GSP fight that both were talking about a few months back.

UFC kind of needs GSP back and a fight like that too right now.

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Yo, I'm torn af on this Jorge Cowboy matchup

Jorge long been unappreciated by fans and even by a lot of MMA fans IMO.. I'm guilty of this as well

Jorge did the right thing by coming to Denver early. He's in a pretty good rhythm

I've been leaning Jorge the whole way but if I were to put money down on even odds I think I'll have to stick with Cowboy

Fight is such a toss up

 

[red81]

conor is going off right now at his Q&A. he says he can make the fight with mayweather happen without the UFC due to the ali act.

"**** the UFC"

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Can't wait to hear all the highlights from his Q and A

Yeah screw the UFC honestly. I used to defend them but there's just a lot to dislike about them. Hope fighters get their due sooner than later

 

[af1 1982]

Conor is speaking the truth right now

 

[jewseejay]

Sterling is buns

Had high hopes but sons striking is non existent

 

[chino905]

Such an underwhelming fight. Disappointed in Aljo.
