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

Joe Silva definitely got that Napoleon syndrome. Mans 4'5 and would get mopped by a women atomweight so he gotta some how flex on certain fighters to feel like a man.

Kattar probably just wants to stay as active as possible. Doubt he would get anybody in the top 5 sine they are more than likely tied up with each other. Maybe Ige was the best that was available.

This weekends card is low key good. Looking forward to it.
 
Didn’t Calvin also recently lose to Zabit? Probably just slow rolling him until the picture clears a bit on that division.

Yep Calvin lost to Zabit in Nov last year. Zabit might be fighting Yair in late August so if Zabit wins there he should be in line for the next shot. I doubt they'd give Alex a rematch if he loses to Max this July until he wins a couple more.
 
Wonder what happens if both Zombie/Ortega then Yair/Zabit happen around the same time. Any winner would have a good argument for next up.

Why wouldn’t Alex get a rematch? Especially if it’s close. I get that COVID was the issue why we weren’t getting fights. But a few divisions are stuck right now.

Man...that is a mess. Zombie winning, Yair winning, Zabit winning all deserve a title shot.
 
dan hooker is confident for someone who never beat a high ranked fighter. Best known for being a punching bag for barboza.

Shame that fight was 3 rounds, Calvin was coming back that third round.

I mean if it's close you could give Alex a rematch but they'd still be holding back division with some contenders waiting in the wings after this August/September. Plus I'm personally just not a fan of immediate trilogies lol. That basically prevents them from ever meeting up down the line. See JDS/Cain, while not in a row I hated how close together they fought 3 times. I know those last two fights weren't close but still.

I am 100% dan hooker fan. But I’ve rode with Dustin since the wec

If he beats an unwashed Dustin, you’d have to say he’s in line for a #1 contender fight at least based off merit
 
Oh I agree I misread. I thought you had say fight for the title after this.

#1 contender spot after this absolutely agree... if he can win convincingly anyway

I believe he will lose convincingly, though.
 
Dustin’s chin improved immensely when he moved up even with that KO loss to Johnson. In the fights against eddie max and Justin he was absorbing quite a bit of trauma. Handled the adversity pretty well

it would suck to see his chin degrade now
 
It’s a good fight...not quite a 50/50 fight imo I still give dustin the edge but it should be a barn burner for sureee

Dan got it, just gotta keep grinding
 
Guess the espn money got the whole ownership group good


“I’ve pretty much said a million times how I feel about that (fight with Moraes). A lot of people felt he won the fight. Jose Aldo’s one of the toughest (fighters). That’s the kid that Cejudo wanted. He was next in line for the title shot, how do we go back now and tell him Cejudo retired, so you don’t get the fight?” White said.

“If people disagree with that fight, you know my point of view on that, don’t watch it. Don’t watch the fight if you don’t like it. Aldo’s been around forever, the guy’s a warrior, and to say Aldo doesn’t deserve anything is ridiculous.
 
Can Dana do something about some of this poor officiating that leads to stuff like this? I thought Aldo won that fight, but its a crappy situation for the other guy who won on the scorecards and does not get that title fight.
 
The athletic commissions are in charge of assigning the refs and judges to fights.

I think if a city or country doesn't have a commission then the ufc can get who they want.
