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

[red80]

Invitation was to learn not to fight. this aint the the internets and you dont come into a gym like that with that attitude because there's dozen dudes in there that would literally kill you(including gilbert melendez and jake shields the owners of the gym). smh lol.

 

[jewseejay]

Yup. Maybe more than dozeNs that would punishhh me. 0 Females tho, which is why were havin this convo haha

Its a ******ed premise.

 

[cashbanks]

yea idc what holmes says no way she stands a chance in a street fight Floyd is a grown man with ELITE hands hes putting her to sleep

this is one of the greatest boxers that's ever lived here fam

 

[smedroc]

All Ronda would have to do is clasp her hands around him in some fashion and it's done.

If she could eat that initially flurry she might pull it off

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Rousey seems like a huge girl. In a fight with no rules I wouldn't be shocked to see her come out on top. She has some powerful hips and is training with world class fighters herself. Floyd is on the smaller side so that's why I give Ronda a chance mostly. If she got a hold of him he'd be done. It's not like she'd stand up with him and she trains with men too. Her technique is ridiculous for a man or woman

 

[jewseejay]

Floyd is one of the quickest ppl on planet earth

Lol at ppl thinkin rousey is shooting him for the single or double

Faghettabowdit

If she did get close enough she'd get stuffed with ease. Again he has 30 lbs on her n spent his whole life training to fight. He's bigger. Stronger. Faste and most importantly a man. If you don't think he could adopt ju jitso and wrestling moves your on drugs. She has a 0 percent chance.

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

I don't think he has 30 pounds on her, how much does he walk around at?

 

[smedroc]

To say she has no chance is ridiculous...

Ronda probably walks around at about 155. Money got 15lbs on her max and 10 of that would be a 100 stacks in a Louis duffle. She's a similar size and has been grappling at the highest level her whole life. Inside of punching range Flloyd is a whitebelt. She locks her hands and son is going for a ride as sure as she's getting KTFO if he tags her mug.

 

[Chester McFloppy]

Miesha Tate was able to land clean on Ronda... at will.

Floyd by KO :04 into Round 1.

Getting off this Rousey-Mayweather fight that would never happen....

Dana commented on Nate Diaz's request to be released from his contract and he said no. What was interesting was that Dana said Diaz signed a new contract month ago and was happy with it. Leads me to guess that he's pissed that Gil got the title shot against Pettis or he's upset with the amount of money Gil's getting. 

Dana also said that they haven't decided what Rousey is gonna do next but Carano is still under contract with UFC. So if she wanted to fight it would be with them.

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

I just don't see how Carano has a chance. Or why we should be excited about that match? Carano hasn't fought in forever and at her prime I don't see how she'd be a threat to Rousey. So with ring rust and being out of shape, I'm not sure how that would even be a fight we should be hyped for.

 

[phillyzphan]

A fight between Carano and Rousey would be about selling ppvs. No one expects Carano to win. But a fight between those 2 would probably outsell any fight with Zigano or Davis. Plus with Dana already proclaiming that Rousey is the biggest star in UFC, they can't afford to let her have another ppv stinker like they did with 170 when it comes to ppv buys and the live gate numbers.

In my opinion, I don't think that they can do the fight between Rousey and Carano. It really makes it look like they're avoiding Cyborg. How can Dana say he has to see Cyborg fight at 135 lbs a few times to make sure she can make the weight, but allow Carano who had the same weight issues as Cyborg back in Elite XC and had trouble making 140 lbs. Plus he's gone on record saying it wouldn't be fair for Cyborg to jump over the other 135ers. So how would it be fair for Carano?

 

[smedroc]

Carano is hot. Simple as.

If they both slutted it up in the promo that PPV would do serious numbers.

Rooting for Manuwa

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Gus has faced a number of heavy hitters, I think that his experience and length should be enough. With that said, it's always hype when you know that the main event will feature two guys who will just throw down. I don't expect any stalling or avoidance. I just read that Jimi has never fought outside of England which was interesting to me.

I wouldn't mind seeing either guy win, if Gus wins, I'd like to see that rematch with Bones assuming he gets by Glover (which I actually believe will be a tough out). If Manuwa wins then DC most likely gets the shot and I've been waiting for that fight for a while. Manuwa would also be on a tear, arguably a top contender in his own right. I just don't want to see Phil Davis, unless he wows against Rumble.

 

[RustyShackleford]

Floyd kills Ronda in a boxing match. And I mean literally, he takes her life

Floyd kills Ronda standing in MMA

Ronda Breaks Floyd's arm on the ground.

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

If Ronda/Floyd ever happened, both would obviously defend against the others' strength. I doubt Ronda would even bother standing with Floyd in an MMA fight. Literally, would start on the ground like she said in the interview. People say that Ronda has taken some clean punches in her last fights, which is true, but obviously she felt that she could eat those punches because those women were not a threat to KO her. She wouldn't approach Floyd in that manner at all. She'd do everything possible to avoid boxing.

Floyd on the other hand would be in allusive mode in an MMA fight, as to not end up clinched or on the ground. Not sure how it'd be fair to ask him to compete in an MMA fight since he doesn't train in other techniques.

Like I said before, in a street fight for survival, I'd honestly like to see it. I'd also like to see walking around weight comparison picture between Floyd and Ronda. If Ronda isn't much smaller than Floyd, I'd give her a decent chance in a street fight, no weapons.

What really happens behind the scenes at the #ufc #ufclondon @danawhite  

I know he posted this as a joke but seriously this is what I think really happens behind the scenes. Dana is basically the face and mouth of UFC, while Lorenzo does all of the real work trying to close deals and Joe Silva does the matchmaking. 

Regarding Jimi/Gus, I see Jimi trying to destroy Gus' legs with his kicks in the first. Then Gus is gonna wrestle and jab him the rest of the way for a decision or submission. 

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

I think that's obvious though. Dana has his role and Joe and Lorenzo have their roles. I'm sure Dana does his fair share of "real work" too. He and Lorenzo have their fingerprints on everything, they've always done things their way and done most of everything themselves.

 

[shogun]

Lorenzo always seems very professional and normal. Nice contrast to dana who acts like an idiot.

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Gunnar, just played with him

 

[chino905]

Dammit I had Manuwa winning the upset today. Gus looked impressive though

 

[freakydestroyer]

That was almost too easy.

 

[tiger energy]

I actually thought Gus would go down when I saw Manuwa during the 1st round. Good for Gus, he will surely get that title shot next.

 

[maicolkickhead]

was it a good fight, worth the watch?
