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

Nuts that none of the fights we really want to see @ FW have happened yet.

With the first hopefully happening in December it would seem.

Mendes/McGregor was cool. But last minute Mendes was a let down from the fight we all wanted with Aldo.

 

[RustyShackleford]

I think Frankie beats Holloway and Conor   but loses to Aldo

Yep, I dunno why **** Boy Frankie is such a rush to get that work from Jose again

He should just keep cashing dem super fight checks

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

When a bout between Khabib Nurmagomedov and Tony Ferguson was added to the TUF 22 Finale on December 11th, naturally it looked like a headlining fight. But with Khabib's camp not wanting to go five rounds, it was placed in the co-main spot. That still leaves the main event open, and it looks likeFrankie Edgar will be filling that spot. He tweeted this out earlier today:

@FrankieEdgar

I got called out by max holloway and Jeremy Stephens. I will fight either on dec 11 Let's make it happen @danawhite @lorenzofertitta @ufc

9:25 AM - 24 Aug 2015

They should have it a Triple Threat match, that way there will be no where for his *** to run

 

[illphillip]

Jeremy Stephens though?

Nice to see him accept Holloway's challenge though with no fear of it derailing his title fight.

That type of **** is exactly why you never see other fighters say anything negative about him. Even Conor

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

With how many fights Frankie has taken since his last loss, I wouldn't be mad if he got Stephens 

 

[RustyShackleford]

Well it is not polite to talk **** about the bosses pet. Even when it barks, you it is just a poodle anyway

 

[illphillip]

Is the bosses pet supposed to be the same guy getting skipped for title fights?

That would make sense.

With how many fights Frankie has taken since his last loss, I wouldn't be mad if he got Stephens 

When I suggested Mendes/Holloway earlier, I was trying to think of an opponent that would be a good "tune up" fight for Edgar while Aldo/McGregor gets sorted.

I couldn't think of one but Stephens fits the bill.

 

[RustyShackleford]

The same guy who got a instant shot at 145 title without even a warm up fight

Yep, makes perfect sense

 

[justsole90]

Frankie vs Max makes the most sense , who ever loses should fight the loser of Aldo Vs Connor. The loser will still be a win away from a title shot. Have Chad fight Jeremy.

 

[illphillip]

The same guy who got a instant shot at 145 title without even a warm up fight

Yep, makes perfect sense

You should join us in 2015

Yep, makes perfect sense

You gotta remember, Erik Koch got injured so Frankie stepped in

-I know, that's why I give Frankie the same level of respect at Sonnen

Thanks brah

Why yall even feed into his trolling behavior. Dude obv makes dumb statements like comparing sonnen to Frankie lol

How did I compare the two?

I said I have the same level of respect for them. I was alluding to Chael getting a opportunist tittle shot too.

I don't really like Frankie but he isn't the juiced up joke Sonnen is, I'll give him that.

And lets keep it #1HUNNA only one dude in this thread gets rustled when I shade Frankie.

And the shade I throw at Frankie, minus the obvious exaggerations, are stuff other people on other boards have said about him over the years.

It is just that I'm unique in that I hold every single negative opinion about dude at one time

 

[illphillip]

Who's "rustled"?

You still mad about **** from 2 years ago

Why yall even feed into his trolling behavior. Dude obv makes dumb statements like comparing sonnen to Frankie lol

Isn't responding to dumb statements part of the fun of this place?

That basically IS Niketalk.

 

[RustyShackleford]

You keep thinking someone is serious papi.

Everyone can see this is a joke except you

 

[illphillip]

Yet others respond to you seriously.

But you keep telling yourself whatever you need to mama

Because all of my replies to you were SO serious.

 

[RustyShackleford]

Yet others respond to you seriously.

But you keep telling yourself whatever you need to mama

-Because the play along with the joke

-And their is some truth in what I say about Frankie besides the outrageous hating

Like what have I said that is so crazy:
-He has gotten plenty of favors from UFC management, him not getting the recent title shot is offset by those past favors. So he is not in a position to complain
-His point fighting style can be boring/annoying as hell to watch
-I'm not of the opinion that that style should be reward by the judges. I argued this at length with Los v. Diaz, so it not me singling out Frankie neither
-He is no where near the level of Jose. And nothing about their previous fight convinces/excited me to see him back in there with Aldo.
-He gets props for "willing to fight anyone" that most fighters do, yet there is no backlash when he whines about ****

People just hype dude up for what I see is no great reason. Over the years on NT I've probably given Frankie props plenty of times too. Like most dudes in this thread (hell every MMA forum) will slurp Frankie, so what's the problem with someone going the opposite direction

-I'll give it to Frankie doe, besides Fetty Wap, he the best thing Jersey got going for it

 

[illphillip]

Oh I see. I didn't realize this exchange was part of some grand thread wide "joke".....

The same guy who got a instant shot at 145 title without even a warm up fight


Yep, makes perfect sense

You gotta remember, Erik Koch got injured so Frankie stepped in

My bad.

Because, you see, we were having an intelligent conversation before all the ******* just described as "trolling behavior" and "dumb statements" started.

Funny is funny. Dumb is dumb. "Bosses pet"? You must be watching a different sport than the rest of us right now

I don't have any problem with your last post at all. You're entitled to your opinion. And you articulated it intelligently. More power to you.

Dana plays favorites, and Frankie is one of his favorites.

Dana been blessing ole boy with opportunities, since this first title shot

Your a Frankie fan, I get it fine.

But I've been in this thread for years. I had plenty of intelligent back to froth with plenty of members about all manner of subjects involving the sport. I don't have to make sure my post met your standards

I will continue to mindless shade ole boy whenever I like . Because I know at the end of the day I can back up any post I make about him

You gonna have to deal just with it b

 

[shogun]

You still salty he beat bj twice when he was the lightweight king. Seeing bj sad after their first fight in the desert was nice.
