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

Izzy's presser today was very straight forward but still insightful. If he kept it at this tone for the whole time I wonder if the people that hate him wouldn't hate him
 
I also overlooked one long shot but possibility with Izzy

If Izzy wins on Saturday there's not gonna be any interesting options and this includes even if Brunson beats Cannonier

Do we really want to see Brunson again? Sucks for him because he's been on a real streak but still

Anyway, if Chimaev keeps eating, I could see him talking about challenging for 185 belt
 
Gotta talk slick to sell tickets.

And Chimaev vs Izzy. I’ll withhold any opinions on the matchup right now but…if Khamzat rolls over Gilbert. I’d avoid that monster.
 
“Ali is just greedy. He sees dollar signs, but I’m like you can make that money elsewhere. But he’s just super greedy and for me, it’s bigger than money,” Adesanya said. “If I was gonna do this sh*t for money and retire, I would have retired three fights ago. I’m set, but nah, it’s bigger than money. It’s just about legacy, I’m still looking to capture that image of me, Kamaru, and Francis as the three kings as we haven’t done that together… It’s bigger than money, it’s bigger than that.”

 
Winner gets the winner of AJ v Pitbull

Also, Jay Jay Wilson is moving from 145 to..... 170?!!!! Holy **** :wow: I was expecting him to eventually face AJ at 145

"A pair of key fights are on their way to St. Louis for Bellator 276 on March 12.

On Wednesday, Bellator MMA announced it would be returning to St. Louis for the first time since 2015 with a featherweight title eliminator set for the main event, with Adam Borics (17-1) facing Mads Burnell (16-3)."

"Also on the card will be a welterweight matchup between Jay-Jay Wilson (8-0) and Gadzhi Rabadanov (16-4-2)."
 
Finally watching the embeddeds, I just realized we rarely hear about Whittaker’s camp and coach

I honestly never focus on his team while it seems like we always do for the other elite fighters
 
His clips are always low key. Family. Or gaming. He really doesn’t seem like a bad guy. A real family man. And probably just as big a geek as Izzy.
 
Izzy on Pereria

“I hope so. I hope so. My coaches don’t think so.

The guy that finished me in kickboxing comes to the MMA to try to do the same thing. Living off the same cloud for the last 10 years. I hope so.

That’s the kinda story I like.

I do implore you journalists to do your research before you start talking about that fight. Look at the first fight and look what happened before the KO in the second fight. I don’t even think you realize I hurt him and realize why I didn’t stay true to my style and didn’t finish him in that fight.

He’s (Pereira) only had 1 fight in the UFC.​

Let him do some work, he’s a long way from seeing me.”
 
Rewatching the tape on Rob's run... I just don't see how Rob pulls this off. Rob being more patient just means he'll get KO later in the fight 🤷🏽‍♂️
 
Rob’s chin been gone the last 3-4 fights….

He’s been rocked and dropped every fight.

I like Rob, but I got The Stylebender by stoppage
 
Dana says he met with Francis before he left to Africa and will meet again in a few weeks

He also said he doesn’t know if there will be an interim belt
 
I think that’s the problem with the word.

Rappers don’t care because it’s part of the allure of the music (and shucking and jiving for money).

And then some folks have no awareness of the dark history of the word. It doesn’t hit the same. Izzy calling Joe the soft a when Joe was using the hard er…

Man o man.
 
Wait a minute, why did Umar's fight get canceled to begin with with Jack Shore? lmao, the report was Umar was unable to fight in March... yet... now he's fighting on March 5th. wtf

I mean, I'm good with it, I just wanted to see him fight again so we get to in less than a month
