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

[jewseejay]

im still on a natural high from last night.

even the prelims were rediculousss

 

[jewseejay]

im still chalking gsp's performance tonight up to an adrenaline dump

i think he can look a lot sharper in his next fight, 170 or 185

he was just too heavy. he wont beat any other 185ers

fight conor or diaz at 170 next. tie up the belt while 85 sorts itself out. Hooefully rockhold emerges and GSP retires before taking that beating

 

[thehealthinspector]

gsp is one of the best conditioned athletes in mma and has never had cardio issues

he spent the entirety of his camp at that weight, i doubt all of a sudden last night he felt heavy, what makes you think it wasnt a dump?

he had a lot to live up to last night

Cody is the better fighter and he knows it but TJ good enough for that to happen. Cody ****** up. There absolutely has to be a rematch. That division sucks and UFC can't be wasting opportunities to get what they can out of it, especially when the better fighter lost.

Mighty Mouse will still be there once they're done.

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

I guess I missed a good card lol

I dunno about better fighter, they seem close skillwise. coloring book’s power and chin gives him a big advantage over the rest of the division. tj and coloring book are young so there’s plenty of time for them to fight a few more times. Making a big fight with demetrius has been something the company has wanted for a while.

 

[OTG]

can't believe people are still calling for conor/gsp.. i don't think ufc is in a rush to give conor a loss so soon after getting him back. let him defend his belt and not hold up any more divisions please.

 

[shogun]

What they need to do is have the beltholders face the interim champs. Shouldn’t have so many damn belts out there.

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

The only thing I don't like about TJ going down to 125 is that if TJ wins, is he going to really defend at 125? Don't get me wrong I want to see the fight, I just have my doubts that TJ is going to want to cut that much for an extended period of time. TJ wins and then vacates... wouldn't make sense...

It's similar to GSP, seems like he doesn't want to defend at 185 and that would be sort of annoying if he didn't

 

[Cashflow]

TJ is not beating Mighty Mouse. As impressive of a comeback that was last night TJ lucked out he was saved by the bell. 5 more seconds and that was a TKO

 

[keko jones]

As much as I dislike TJ, he beat Cody. We can make excuses, but there are rules for a reason.

Cody was overly confident as well and he got the worst of it.

I like Cody too, but he lost.

 

[spiderjericho]

I felt Cody was winning the fight up until the stoppage.

Completely shocked by JJ losing. Everyone had Thug Rose as a huge underdog.

 

[dman14]

did the payouts come out yet? ppv numbers, tix at gate?

Despite Uncle Dana’s proclamations, this has been a bad year for UFC. They poorly promoted that card and the return of GSP.

Did we ever get #s for Cormier/Jones 2?

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

For GSP to come back after 4 years off and win is incredible. As crazy as that is, Rose winning was definitely the crazier

 

[spiderjericho]

It is. But he challenged Bisping not Rockhold, Romero, Whitaker, Weidman, Mousasi, etc.

I just don’t think he should take the Whitaker fight.

As much as it goes against his contract, have him fight Woodley or Nate Diaz. Get that money.

 

[shogun]

bisping being the champ was def good timing for gsp. If hendo had the belt, I wonder if george would be able to survive an h-bomb and recover. bisping touched george a few times and it hurt him a little.

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

GSP said he was very badly hurt and that he tried his best to hide it from Bisping

 

[thehealthinspector]

yeah, but im pretty sure that wasnt until after he was already gassed

he dodged fine in the first

 

[jayt1202]

I was just checking GSP's wikipedia page and saw his last finish wasn't since BJ Penn in early 2009.

Also, I know he has stated that he'd fight Whittaker to unify the belt but not so sure that happens.

 

[frank mucus]

Problem with joanna is she let the belt define who she is. Without it she's nothing and you can see her world crumbling through her eyes.

What a time to be alive!

 

[Cashflow]

I’m becoming more and more of a fan of this guy! The raw emotion!

 

[jayt1202]

LOL at Gaethje, cannot wait for 218! That card is stacked and although it'll be tough to top 217 the matches there are great.

And looking at 219 its hard to believe they likely won't have a titlefight there as it appears they aren't getting Conor, not sure whats happening with Stipe and most other title fights have taken place recently. With it being less than two months out its not looking good. That card looks more like a UFC on Fox or good FS1 card.

 

[QU!K]

Goat St. Pierre

Would like to see:

GSP vs Woodley
GSP vs. Whitaker
GSP vs. Conor
GSP vs. Spider
GSP vs. Nate

Cody doesn't deserve an immediate rematch

DJ need to stop being scared and fight TJ

Love to see Cruz vs. TJ again

Amazing card

Her trying to intimidate and bully Rose bae was so dumb. It seemed more extra than her usual theatrics. Was great seeing her crying in the lockerroom humbled.
