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

Great gameplan by Kattar. Those elbow strikes were nice. By middle of 2nd round, giga was stumbling around like he was drunk.
 
I give it to kattar, he made giga look foolish.

Would like to see kattar vs Ortega next
 
Had a feeling Giga was going to get tuned up. He Throws 100% on every strike and tries to pour it on you but doesn't have the cardio to match. He'll struggle to beat any contenders in the top 5 that are durable.

Him vs. Yair in the apex is a fight I really need to see though.

What a great come back fight for Kattar. Happy to see that the Max beating didn't wear on him and start the downfall of his career like we usually see in the game.

Those step in counter elbows he throws are nasty man. I can't believe Giga didn't get put out or even knocked down til the very end of the 5th. That man Kattar threw nothing but elbows for a good 3-4 mins straight at one point :lol:. Giga definitely on the list of all time great chins already.


Entertaining main event beating, but the rest of the card was straight buns.
 
Had to do some work tonight.

But caught the ME.

Kalvin:
+Pace
+Pressure
+Jab
+Stance Switch and Fight IQ to mitigate Gigi’s strength
+Takedowns
+Elbows
-the damage and eventual accumulation of it from his career

Giga:
+Heart
+Solid hand strikes
-Not being able to make adjustments. The elites are able to game plan and make adjustments in the cage.
-Lack of grappling
-the damage

Hopefully, Giga takes some time off and gets back to the lab to learn from the loss.

FW is no joke. It’s a good division with Emmett, Giga, Allen, Max, TKZ, Yair, Volk, T City, Barbosa, Ige and Mitchell (aka Mr Camo Pants). I wish Zabit would come back.
 
Giga's hype and bubble deflated now.

His face looks so messed up while Kattar looks clean as a whistle.
 
He can come back. Just have to make adjustments and add more to his arsenal. Once the pressure and stance switches started, he had no answer.
 
Man's was gassed 2 minutes in to the 2nd round. You can see Kattar ain't respect Gigas power like the 1st round, the way he decided to walk him down.
 


The douchebag looking glasses Figueiredo is wearing at 12:30 just like Albarracin. :sick:

 
Max really reinvigorates these dudes careers after giving them a life changing beating :lol:
 
They really trynna paint Francis like he was some dude who wanred to just **** around in Vegas instead of listening to his head coach and following game plans man :lol::smh:.

Really love Gane as a fighter but damn I hope big Francis just sleeps him and pulls a CM punk to Vince in Chicago to Dana right after.

Really hoping fig looses cause I can’t stand that team. I saw in there where he said he can’t watch the fight and he hates Moreno. Feel like this dude hasn’t learned anything
 
What was wild to be was Kattar's jab having an apparently equal effect as those elbows he was throwing. I was mad he wasn't jabbing a little more and putting those heavier shots behind it.
 
This dork Giga went live on FB last night from the hospital and said that if him and Kattar fought 10 times last night is the only time Kattar wins.

What a clown. Kattar beat that dude for 25 minutes straight, that ain’t a fluke win.
 
There's about to be a solid run of events

Looking forward to seeing a few prospects in the next few weeks. Topuria on Saturday

Rakhmonov the following week on the Stickland v Hermansson card

Fiziev in a month

That actually wasn’t a bad countdown. There’s “back story” in the main and co main. Glad, the biggest and smallest men get to compete for their respective UFC trophies. Francis is in a predicament. UFC’s competition is trash. Unless Viacom is serious at going at WME…the only bag is in UFC. He might be able to do 1-2 of those freak show boxing fights. But the luster wears off after two losses to a Fury or Wilder.

Think he was just tired. And opted for the elbows. Less throw.
 
Things are getting spicy, really hoping they can fight

“I don’t know if it is just with his friends, right? With the people close to him, (where) he’s that arrogant guy, that annoying guy. Because every time I met the guy, it was all that arrogance, that ego, he was always like that.” Pereira said in an interview with Marcelo Alonso of the PVT channel (Portal Vale Tudo). “Since our first fight in China, he was a guy who pissed me off a lot, from the weigh-in to the fight. Even losing, when there was the rematch here in Brazil he made a post that I don’t really remember, but it was something like ‘I’ll have to beat Pereira in his backyard and then run out of the favela’. It was something like that, right?’ [via translation]”

“I only saw him at the weigh-in and the fight. After the fight I saw him crying outside in Ibirapuera. Sitting on a low wall with his trainer – that’s it.”
