StillUnknown Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 can't remember the LHW division being this thin before its really a 3 man lineup with Jones, DC, & maybe Gus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malapropismic Depository Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 Sounded like Serra won that fight, lol As soon as Serra said go for the choke, Weidman suddenly tightens the noose, and then it's all over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malapropismic Depository Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 I just saw that Whittaker's knee injury will keep him out until next year. That totally sucks. Just when you thought the division was muddled enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DM72 Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 (edited) Just wanted to say, it's criminal the way Jones v Cormier has been under promoted. Jones was just on Undisputed and Cormier on First Take, but still. And in both interviews, it ended with Mayweather/McGreggor questions? Give me a ****ing break.

artmonkforHOF Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 On 2017-07-22 at 11:48 AM, StillUnknown said: that is a very good breakdown Heavy Hands Podcast is another great one: https://www.bloodyelbow.com/2015/3/11/8196959/heavy-hands-podcast-mma-technique-boxing-patrick-wyman-connor-ruebusch-analysis Wyman is my favorite when it comes to breakdowns and fight reviews Jack Slack for the win. I think his articles where better when he wasn't pumping out 2 per week for Fightland, but now that Fightland has shut down & Vice Sports has gone to video only, hopefully he gets back to the more in-depth, lower volume articles he used to write. His "Killing the King" series is excellent, and his wushu watches & commentary on kangaroo fights are always a fun read. He did have a video series called Ringcraft which was really amazing but Fightland messed up, held episode 4 on Rousey too long, then she lost & the content was no longer as relavent. He also has a weekly podcast & a Patreon page ($5/month) where he puts up longform history articles once a month. He he also has written a McGregor book "Notorious" which I think is now on Amazon US and should be in bookstores by September. He doesn't know where he will be writing now that Fightland is down, but he is worth searching for if you are looking for solid written MMA Analysis.

StillUnknown Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 (edited) Jones & DC both made weight DC's face looked sunken, cut may have been rough for him. he better try to end it early Edited July 28, 2017 by StillUnknown Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forehead Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 I know it's a month late, but I just caught the Bellator replay of Sonnen vs. Wanderlei Silva. And while the match was not exciting, I don't care what anyone says, I love listening to Chael Sonnen talk. He would have been a great 80's heel in the NWA.

StillUnknown Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 Jones over DC by Unanimous Decision: If you look at this purely from a matchup point of view, Jones is just an awful stylistic matchup for DC and I think it will play out as such. Jones looks a little rusty early, but finishes stronger as DC's cardio starts to fade. Woodley over Maia by (T)KO: Kinda hoping Woodley lands a killshot early, otherwise this one could get ugly to watch pretty quick. Maia has a knack for dragging good wrestlers to the ground so maybe he can get Woodley there as well and work his magic, seems like a longshot IMO. Just seems like a terrible style matchup for Maia. Cyborg over Evinger by Murder: I hope Evinger is being well compensated for this. Evinger is a very tough fighter and deserves a good payday for her time served in MMA. She is a good wrestler with a good ground game, but she is a 135lb fighter stepping up because she is a legit crazy person who has no fear. That same mentality is going to get her hurt bad because she just may be tough enough to make this fight uncomfortable to watch as she gets beat down. Lawler over Cerrone by (T)KO: hard to say how Lawler will look off the long layoff following getting killed by Woodley. Lawler has the better hands, but Cerrone could land with the kicks. Lawler has shown that he can do good body work and Cerrone is notoriously weak to the body. I suspect Cerrone's chin is starting to show wear after all the wars he's been in as well. Barao over Sterling by Unanimous Decision: I was high on Sterling, but he hasn't progressed with his striking like I hoped he would. Barao is fading, but this is another horrible style matchup. Sterling is at his best when during grappling scrambles, Barao might be the hardest guy to takedown in all of MMA and his striking is still a level or two about Sterlings. I want Sterling to win, but unless Barao is severely faded, I don't see how it happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StillUnknown Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 Woodley easily won, but you gotta do more than 1-2 and reset not sure where Maia goes from here. 2 title fights and 2 horrible matches Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Destino Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 The only thing I took from that fight was that Woodley has some remarkable take down defense. Zero entertainment value though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
