StillUnknown Posted April 14, 2019 Share Posted April 14, 2019 fights like the co-main and main event tonight are why i stick around MMA despite being jaded as hell about MMA in general there is something about high level, competitive fights that cannot be matched by any other sport Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bacon Posted April 14, 2019 Share Posted April 14, 2019 Huh. I thought Max won rounds 3-5 with 1 possibly being a 10-8 to Dustin. A draw wouldn't have surprised me at all. Absolutely awful scorecards for this fight, though I have no issue with Dustin winning. Great, close fight. 49-46 doesn't do it justice at all.

StillUnknown Posted April 14, 2019 Share Posted April 14, 2019 rewatched Adesanya/Gastelum and man Kelvin is going to have nightmares about the end of that 4th round. He had Adesanya rocked bad with less than a minute to go and chose to attempt a takedown for some reason. I think he could have possibly ended it with a couple placed strikes. that fight is right up there with Bones/Gus for best title fight I've seen in the UFC 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea, I was wondering the same thing when that happened. Maybe he thought Adesanya was still very dangerous while he was hurt, and thought he had a better chance at ending it via GNP. But like you said, he could have at least thrown some careful, deliberate, precise strike attempts. Rather KG acted as if he was the one that was hurt. I wanna see a rematch. However, it remains to be seen if KG is the same fighter, after that damage he took. Edited April 14, 2019 by Malapropismic Depository Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would have sucked for Gastelum, but refs really shouldn't pay attention to time anyway. Gastelum was getting up on muscle memory alone on those last 2 shots he ate. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malapropismic Depository Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 (edited) Reem on the "Reem-bound" ? 2 straight Ist-round KO's of 2 Russians. Maybe not top competition, but in this weak HW division, just 1 or 2 straight wins can get you a title shot potentially.

StillUnknown Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 so Greg Hardy getting another co-main event tomorrow night? not enough that he's a piece of **** individual, not enough that he looked like dog **** in his UFC debut, gotta milk his "fame" as much as they can. I can only imagine how bad his opponent must be. If they're going to keep him in the spotlight, they're going to match him as favorably as they possibly can Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StillUnknown Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 noticed it in his fight with Weidman, and definitely last night, Jacare's speed on his strikes is completely gone. 40 years old, so it to be expected, but it really limits his options. Sucks that he won't get to fight for the title, but thats the game. If he can't finish his opponent, he'll likely lose decisions moving forward if he continues to fight. He doesn't even try to grapple much anymore because he knows his gas tank won't support that move 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now with ESPN a much bigger percentage of cards require you to pay extra to see. It's lame. I already pay a lot of money just to have ESPN/ESPN2/etc etc in the first place.

I m surprised a upcoming sport like UFC would go this route and limit the amount of viewers with such a horrible model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could make an argument for that. There's also reasonable arguments against that, as well. So it's not super clear cut. The other issue is, there's really noone in heavyweight that is clearly deserving of a title shot. They all have asterisks and questions, at the least. You could make a case for JDS and his 3 win streak, but only 1 of those wins was against a ranked opponent. Ngannou probably is the strongest case, other than Miocic. He has questions about earning it, after his embarrassing loss in the title fight last time, not to mention the utter snooze-fest he put on against Lewis. However his KO's against Cain and Blaydes probably give him a good justification, so I wouldn't put up a huge argument if he got the next title shot. To sum it up, the whole HW is a big mess and a grey area, so it's really difficult to make a super strong argument about anyone getting the next shot at DC. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StillUnknown Posted May 4, 2019 Share Posted May 4, 2019 (edited) not much on this card excites me. even if they produce good fights, the rest of the card is complete nondescripts who will likely never be anything more than mid-tier card fillers Raging Al always does the opposite of what I think will happen in his fights (except Khabib) I want Al to win just because he likes to needle Dana from time to time. Cerrone is exciting, but we know his ceiling, he's essentially angling for one last money fight against some irish fellow. I like Al's hands better than Cerrone's, but I also think Cerrone's kicking game can keep him out of range and give Al problems.
