UFC and MMA Thread

Perhaps you are right. Maybe this win should get Brown a fight with someone in the top 5 first before being granted a title shot. I am happy to see the guy's progression after having a losing streak earlier on in his UFC career.

I don't know what was going on with those midsection shots.......did Silva just deliver the perfect 1st blow there where every shot delivered thereafter just hurt that much more, or is Brown weak there......

Having said that, who deserves the next shot against Hendricks?

 

Great question... I don't know who should be next for Hendricks. I just looked at the top 10. I have no clue.

 

T.J. Dillashaw! Wow, and wow again! Amazing.

 

He deserves another Wow! Unbelievable performance. I still can't believe it after 2 days. How about DC... Watch out Jon Jones. Can't wait to see that fight. And Lawler, He has gone NUTS! That was another perfect performance. All 3 fight were very entertaining. Can't forget about Varner. I have always been a big fan of that guy!

 

Shocked at Dillashaw, but fantastic win! DC is the real deal - I think the world of Hendo, but DC just destroyed him.

Too bad DC didn't decide to stay at heavy - he has the tools to challenge Cain Velasquez. I know they are teammates, but that would be a good fight IMHO.

 

DC tossed Hendo around like a rag doll! I have no doubt that he can do much the same to Jon Jones, or anyone else (if it happens to be Gustafsson).

Yes, Lawler dominated Ellenberger, which I did not expect. I though it would have been closer than that. I am ready to see Hendricks/Lawler II.

I felt so bad for Varner - that was painful to watch. His corner really should have thrown in the towel the instant it was obvious something was very wrong, which was well before the end of the round. Do you guys think it was because of a kick to that area, or did he land on it or twist it really badly?

 

Good card on Saturday night.

Bendo did an awesome job against a very tough opponent. What is it with this latest influx of Russian fighters? All of a sudden, there seems to be one in every weight class, and they are as tough as hell. I just can't get it straight who's where....... Too many last names ending in "ov"!

Boy, Ross Pearson got robbed! What a joke. I don't know how one judge scored it 10-9 in favor of Sanchez all 3 rounds. Ridiculous!

Dodson - this guy is the real deal. He will give anybody a very hard time, and may very well beat Johnson in a rematch. I would really look forward to that fight, hopefully Demetrious retains his belt this weekend.

 

Bendo is the man. Other than Pettis, he's more than a match for anyone in the division. I'd like to see him against Nurmagomedov.

Let me say that I'm not the biggest Bendo fan, but watching him over the years, it's just hard to pick against him. He's complete, he's confident, and always prepared.

 

Anyone catch the event this past Saturday? A bit of a snoozer, I would say.

Mighty Mouse - what can you say? I believe he is the very best pound-for-pound fighter in the world today. The man does not get his dues though.

Arlovski's return was a big disappointment. What a boring fight. It didn't do Schaub any favors with him losing, however I never thought he would become a top-5er in the HW division anyways, and this fight confirmed that.

Rory certainly made Woodley seem undeserving of his number 3 ranking - completely 1-sided. I really want to see Rory against Hendricks.

The woman's fight was one of the best fights, with Latourneau beating Phillips.

 

Cowboy Cerrone was impressive! Great win over a tough Jim Miller, who had NEVER been knocked out before.

I'd love to see Cerrone / Diaz II...I think Cerrone could take him.

Was also impressed by Barbosa, but was that more Dunham's rust or Barbosa's skill?

 

Cowboy looked great. One more big win and I'd like to see him take the winner of Pettis and Melendez.

Great card! Every fight on the main card was excellent! I am a big fan of Cowboy, and I think he has put himself in a position for a title shot. The guy looks better and better every time he steps into the octagon. The speed of his kicks are incredible.

 

Nick Diaz vs. Anderson Silva has been booked! This should be good.......

 

Incredible card this past weekend - anyone catch it?

 

I went. Got a VIP package, so sat Cage side. Crazy experience. Met a ton of fighters. Even got to go in the octagon and get a picture with a belt.

Was psyched to see Dominic come back in such dominant fashion.
The Irish that where there were some crazy guys....

 

Great Card! I'm bummed Alverez lost.

 

I like Alvarez, but now that GSP is no longer in the picture, Cerrone might be my favorite fighter. Alvarez came out strong in that 1st round, and was looking like he may have some success, but Cowboy has just been on a wicked tear as of late.

I have to say, I didn't buy into all of the hype around McGregor, but I now do. Man, he looked so loose and sharp - very, very impressive! I say pit him against Aldo ASAP!

I felt so bad for Kennedy. What a war! I can't believe Romero came back and won that fight, especially with how Kennedy finished up the round. Romero looked like he was done.

 

I hope this works for him. GREAT IDEA IMO.

No one has talked about Anderson Silva yet?

 

Too sad to talk about the Spider.
But.... What about that Memorial Day card they announced today!?!?!

 

The whole Silva situation is incredibly disappointing. It casts a shadow over his entire career now, as people are questioning whether he has been using all along.

I was happy to hear that Rory is finally getting his shot at the title. It is long overdue, and well deserved. Do you think he wins it over Lawler?

How about Anthony Johnson? The man is on a tear. I cannot wait to see him get a shot at Jones.

 

Great UFC card tonight!

The rate Rousey is going, She wont have to wait for Cyborg to get down to 135lbs. She'll be going up to 145lbs. Look how big she is when she is not training!!!!!


Ronda Rousey to face Bethe Correia at UFC 190 - ESPN

 

Yup. Agreed.
I also think it's funny Rhonda is going off on Correia with **** about "don't talk **** about my family" When it was Rhonda's mom who started talking smack to Correia!!!!

 

I would like to see Joanna Jedrzejczyk move up in weight to face Rousey. She certainly has the height to put on the weight, and I was tremendously impressed with her skills against Esparza. Some of the best striking I have seen in any woman's division. Or as a warm-up in that weight class, it would be very interesting to see her fight Holly Holm.

On another note.........who is winning between Aldo and McGregor? I cannot wait for this fight!
