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

I'm sure Belal will get the winner of the fight. I'm sure they want to create activity in the division again.

I'm a lil tired of the opportunities Colby gets. But this is a great test for Leon. If he beats Colby, we can start talking about how Leon is the greatest WW of all time (yawn).

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Can't be too sure. Nothing is ever a set plan in MMA

Injuries, immediate rematches, Rahkmanov... hell if Colby wins he may accept Garry's constant call outs you just never know. Or a Wonderboy

 

[steevoo1]

They completely missed the boat off his impressive win over Gilbert..

It was impressive until we found out that Gilbert injured his arm or shoulder in the 1st. Then the talk shifted to he should've got him out of there.

 

[steevoo1]

Colby winning will be the worst thing for the division as a whole. Man's will probably start calling out Conor and other joke fights man.

For as long as this fight took to get made, Leon will still be more active than Colby. At least with him we would get 2 fights from him a year for sure.

But the way the years been going I'm fully expecting Colby to cap the year off as champ . Man's going to be the third person for that age 35+ stat


That Pantoja/Royval fight going to be straight fire though. Glad they're not going with another rematch with Moreno and the division is moving along.

Whatever the case may be, Belal is completely uninteresting and that is a him problem

So many fighters do the hardest part and … win… against… great opponents but fail miserably at the easier part of hyping yourself in any kind of way that will make an impact and a connection

I could easily see ufc having shavkat fight someone on that December card and with an impressive win shavkat leap frogging belal

 

[spiderjericho]

The only guys who could fight Shavkat are WB, Gilbert or Belal. Khamzat is atop the WW rankings but hasn't fought in more than a year and obviously about to scrap with Costa at MW.

Who going to take that risk?

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

I’m screaming

 

[steevoo1]

Man's a character straight out of righteous gemstones.

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

I like where Bryce is going with it. I’ve hated on him before but he’s a true character

And he really might be that, just like Strickland

 

[equality]

I was at UFC Boston and man people really really hate Aljo.
There were also USA chants for Weidman when he was fighting Brad Tavares.
Boston sports fans

 

[spiderjericho]

Bryce seems "crazier" than Strickland. DeSean says wacky and offensive things when he's in character. Bryce seems like a flat earther, true believer in the original intent of the second amendment.

 

[steevoo1]

Yeah Bryce spews too many conspiracy ******** (flat earth, covid denier, all the dumb ****). I'd be fine with Ige smashing his face in and never hearing from the guy again.

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

This seems like some kind of deep fake

 

[spiderjericho]

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Yup. Just goes back to what I said before

Dude did the heavy lifting and hard work only to be unknown and under the radar. He and Ali could have at least tried to do some self promotion

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

He’s cooked

 

[SORIANOTRON]

So, all he had to do is beat an un-ranked Masvidal to get a title shot?

Meh who cares

Colby vs Edwards will be a banger

Hate on Colby all you want but his fights are always good win or loose.

No one wanna see Belal fight, like ever.

 

[degenerate423]

Hate on Colby all you want but his fights are always good win or loose.

I have to disagree. His fight with Masvidal was boring and his fight with Woodley was boring too. He’s decent at building up the fights and making people hate him, but he’s not Conor with exciting fights.

 

[RustyShackleford]

I will always think that TJ taking g EPO was one of the dumbest cases of doping I have every heard of.

Like it was monumentally stupid

 

[SORIANOTRON]

I have to disagree. His fight with Masvidal was boring and his fight with Woodley was boring too.

You thought them fights were booring?

We watch the fights differently then.

Good to know.

It was to help with weight cutting right? He looked incredibly drained at FLW. Guy shot himself in the foot and was never the same. I never really cared for him but still tough to see that hospital photo with him in the brace, wouldn't wish that on anyone.

 

[steevoo1]

Colby had 2 fun fights, both against Usman. Masvidal fight was what it was and RDA was a stinker. Belal had a fun fight against Brady. Rest are stinkers.

They both ain't that fun to watch.

 

[boxer15]

Call the Cops versus Remember the Lame is a title fight I hope we never have to see.

 

[cs02132]

TJ was in god mode for a while after the first Barao fight. Same with werdum and RDA around the same time

Does Duane Ludwig still coach anyone of note? Haven’t heard much recently
