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

[steevoo1]

Wow Longo said on Anik and KenFlos pod that Aljo/Yan targeted for November. And Merab finally getting a big name fight with Moraes in September. Jesus, that man Marlon can't catch a break. Man's last 3-5 fights have been all killers.

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

This should be a good scrap, if Vicente is able to keep it standing he has the upper hand. Winner of this one could be one more fight away from a shot. There is kind of a logjam for the WW title now with Colby supposedly getting next crack, then you have Leon and Wonderboy potentially up for consideration if he beats Burns.

Great fight but it sucks both of these guys are pretty much after thoughts. I’m glad usman mentioned chisea because nobody else does ..

These guys will need a lot of luck on top of a win streak to get into a title fight

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Holy **** the McKee vs pitbull fight gonna be in Los Angeles

Cant believe I can watch McKee get that belt in person lol

Also usman and magomedov are on the card too. And Emmanuel Sanchez

loaded

 

[jayt1202]

Cannot wait for that McKee vs Pitbull bout. Probably one of my most anticipated fights of the year. You get arguably two of Bellator's top P4P guys going at it.

[steevoo1]

If Holloway is out for a while let Giga or Edson jump in. Those fights would be fire.

 

[xbiker47]

Wouldn’t mind seeing Edson get that fight

 

[jayt1202]

Damn was really hoping Max would take out Yair and earn the next shot. An Edson fight would be a nice consolation though.

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Max really didn't need to fight Yair other than a pay day. Hopefully it works out where Max can fight the winner of Volk/Ortega around January or Feb

That would be exactly one year off since the Kattar fight, which honestly wouldn't be too long of a lay off

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

I don't like Jorge but there's some truth to this quote, particularly that Leon hasn't proven to be a finisher. So that's why he hasn't gotten that pop yet

“It was a good fight, good performance, I thought. Leon does what he does and he keeps asking for more money and more things, but he’s not a finisher. He’s not a fighter,” Masvidal said. “He was winning happily and he wasn’t willing to put himself in a risk to go out there and get those finishes. That’s why I don’t think he’s in the position that he wants to be in, because he’s not going out and fighting every second of every minute. So he’s a very skilled guy, but he just doesn’t have that grit and that meanness in him to go out there and beat up a top contender the way he should.”

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Dirty move? I'm a Stickland fan so I found this interesting

Coach Parillo recording everything instead of cooling things down

 

[xbiker47]

Isn't he in a main event spot for the first time in his career too?

 

[jayt1202]

The Rory PFL fight was a snooze fest but how did he not get the decision?? Tibau had no big moments and Rory was by far more active.

**** it…get ya money Rashad

 

[steve4prez]

Why are all these old heads coming back. This circus wave logan jake paul pushing is getting big. Hope it doesn't take away from the legitimacy boxing has.

 

[thehealthinspector]

It arguably already has, the biggest boxer on the planet helped "legitimize" them

 

[steevoo1]

There has been "celebrity" boxing matches for years now. This is nothing new.

Spoiler: None of these fights "killed" boxing either

In regards to Mayweather/Tyson/Shad, if people eat it up and buy, more power to them. Get that dough, I have no problem with it unless they were to fight an in prime fighter.

And on that note, who's watching Spider box JCC Jr tonight

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Seen JCC Jr missed weight

Read some article on MMAFighting about Silva's debut boxing match, his opponent didn't paint such a nice picture lmao. Made Anderson seem like a jerk

I'm mildly interested in these circus boxing matches. I don't have any problem spending time to watch them. Will watch that Vitor vs De la Hoya fight too

 

[steevoo1]

Yeah, Silva made an easy 100k for Jr missing weight.

Hope we get juiced to the gills TRT Vitor in there. Can't believe they got him as the betting favorite.

 

[QU!K]

Matt Brown can’t even make the main card on a fight night?

edit: nvm this is the first fight of the main card

 

[degenerate423]

 

[thehealthinspector]

not even gonna list this guys name anymore? just korean zombie.....

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Missed it but heard Zombie dropped him and then Ige ended up making a fight of it

Wonder where Zombie goes from here

 

[6 Rings G.O.A.T.]

Anderson Silva won his boxing match..
