StillUnknown Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 had a feeling that might happen when Dillashaw was walking around looking skeletal for weigh-ins dana's gotta be pissed. Saw what he thought was his next attraction in Hardy look bad and lose, now its gonna be harder for him to dump the flyweight division 3 minutes ago, Malapropismic Depository said: That's gotta put Cejudo way up there on P4P, probably #1 I could read Dillashaw's lips. "No way !" I can't put him #1 when he didn't really beat mighty mouse in that 2nd fight yep, Dana big mad out there tonight 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chachie Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 This was actually a pretty fantastic night of fights. Cerrone, Glover, PVZ were all exciting. Hardy was a mess. Henry shocks the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malapropismic Depository Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 I just re-watched the main event. Yes, the entire fight. TJ's style and strategy look completely different than the usual TJ. From the get-go, a whole lot less movement, head to toe, was my first impression.

StillUnknown Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 I cannot imagine the feeling a fighter must have when they do 6 week training camp, a hellish weight-cut, only to be finished in less time than it took for them to walk to the cage. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bacon Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 Hardy DQing his career to oblivion and getting his awful ground game and cardio exposed made my day. **** wifebeaters and **** the Cowboys. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He probably thought he was just going to punch Henry out in a minute or so. Unfortunately, he wasn't fighting No Chin Garbrandt tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoCalMike Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 Sorry but it was a good stoppage, TJ was woozy and letting the fight go on would have just meant Cejudo sprawling and landing 10 more punches to TJ's face. Cejudo's matchup strength was when the fight hit the ground, which is where the fight was, combine that with TJ already taking about 10 square shots, being dropped 3 times, and all it meant was he was going to get pounded on even more. TJ is just being salty because he went down in weight assumed he'd be able to just smash Cejudo and have two belts. TJ is a great fighter, and his camp found a huge flaw in Cody's game that they were able to exploit twice, since Cody's camp didn't seem to learn much from 1st fight, but all this talk from TJ, Duane Ludwig & Dana of anointing him as the GOAT of 135lbs barely a couple of years removed from Cruz's decade of dominance was just nonsense, and continues the trend of Dana feeling the need to call any new guy on the block the new best ever.

Its really amazing when you think about it, all this time and UFC still doesn't have a good formula for building stars. Their biggest attractions have always been self-made, bigger than the sport, kind of stories. Part of that is the unpredictability of MMA where anybody can lose at just about any time, but the other part is the UFC is beyond staie in their promotion tactics.

Last night while they were on a shot to TJ shadowboxing in his locker room, one of the commentators said something like "You are looking at maybe THE greatest.. blah blah blah..." I jokingly thought, "Well now TJ's gonna lose tonight." 🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They know that the die-hards will watch the legends, even long after the luster has faded. They are developing some good young talent though and acquiring some guys who are no longer UFC-worthy but still dangerous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoCalMike Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 (edited) Fedor's fall from grace has been sad to watch. Not that it is surprising, dude is 42 and has been in absolute battles over his decade of domination. Can you imagine Fedor in his prime even entertaining a fight against a fighter the caliber of Ryan Bader? What is worse though is all the Johnny-Come-Lately MMA fans doing the predictable "Fedor is Overrated" campaign because they never saw him his his prime and have just relied on highlights, or still run with the "all his fights were fixed because PRIDE" narrative.

Malapropismic Depository Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 (edited) Khabib gets 500K fine, and 9 month suspension, with credit for time served since 10/26/18. He can reduce it to 6 months if he participates in an anti-bullying campaign. His 2 teammates got 1-year suspension and 25K fine. Conor gets 6 months and 50K fine. Aldo announces he will retire by the end of this year. Edited January 29, 2019 by Malapropismic Depository Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
