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

Thug Rose should’ve ended up on the Women’s Mount Rushmore. I’m so sad about how her career has gone after she won back the strap.


^^^Great vid. Didn’t realize she trained with Trevor from around TUF 20 time. And Pat took the lead the second Carla fight, which is about the time she started to decline and showed poor performance.

I am NOT a fan of these predatory coach/fighter relationships for females. Don’t ish where you eat.

TNT legit posted this only to delete it later in the day.
 
So now Dana gonna get a visa for Khamzhat and an interim shot for Kamaru?!? Sure many of y'all already seen this but yea...



Also smh at this platform calling him "UFC founder"
 
Was listening to Ariel's show yesterday and Petesy was saying they are only doing the civil suit as there wasn't enough evidence to proceed in a criminal case. Then McGregor's team is claiming this gal is just trying to extort him.
 
Aspinall gotta pull out the “you’ll still there poosy” line at some point.
 
He mentioned he is smaller for this fight. Would yall be mad if he went back down to LHW and challenged for the LHW title and try to retire champ/champ?

Sucks to be Tom. But sadly he doesn’t call the shots.

Eh! I’m getting a visual of Roy Jones moving up to Heavyweight putting on the muscle slowing up his reflexes then moving back down to Light Heavyweight andfinally getting slept.

Finish out at Heavyweight Bones!
 
Lol Jon ducking Tom but unfortunately it’s perfectly rational. He still gets called GOAT and makes just as money fighting washed Stipe and then easily defeating no wrestling Pereira and gets to ride out “on top” instead of getting slept. Jon is very calculated. Unfortunately Tom doesn’t make sense for him to fight and clearly Jon isn’t going to be baited by pride or ego. Seems Dana will have to make him an offer he can’t refuse to get into the octagon with the young bull in Tom, and I don’t see that happening.
 
I understand people’s strong feelings however Jon Jones been beating everyone’s favorites for 16 years now. A lot of y’all favorites on their 2nd and 3rd careers at this point while Jonny is still on top of the world.
 
Neither were his last challenges at LHW.

They were literally grabbing the bottom of the barrel with Smith, Santos, and Reyes.

A few years later, one is getting slept in PFL. The other two are gatekeeper status.

If he fights Pereira, I’m aiight with it.

Tom should call out Gane if he beats Volkov. That division going to be trash and Tom’s rein going to be compared to Pantoja’s.
 
While I agree, let’s not pretend the only reason Smith is a gatekeeper is because the UFC is protecting Pereira from him.
 
While I like most others consider Jones one of the GOATS you really can't talk about his career without speaking of all the BS outside the cage like failed drug tests and legal issues.
Plus his last four fights since the 2nd Gus bout have largely been forgettable and several folks have him losing the Reyes fight which looks worse and worse considering what became of Reyes.

At this point I've accepted he's gonna call his own shots. So likely if he beats Stipe the only other fight he'd accept would be Poatan. I'd watch the ish outta that one.

Let's also be real, no one was scared of Gane, Francis beat him when hurt and exposed his glaring weakness.
 
I'm thinking Stipe's plan will be to stuff as many TD's as possible and try to keep Jon at boxing range and out box him

don't really see another path to victory for him
 
Gane is one dimensional. He has no TDD. Great striker and athletic.

There just aren’t a whole lotta wrestlers at HW OR he hasn’t been fighting MMA long plus the Fenrando connection (which is why Francis left their gym after the humiliating first Stipe fight).

If Stipe was 6 years younger or the same age as Jon, I’d be like good fight. Unless Stipe is on the same stuff as Dana and Joe Rogan, he’s got no chance.
