Colvington is a right twat aint he?!

MMA is a cruel game. Tyron Woodley got old overnight and had a steep decline, the same could happen to Usman.

Rosario · « **Reply #30682 on:** March 19, 2023, 12:29:38 am »

That was elite level takedown defence from Leon and he just picked apart Kamaru in the middle of the ring for most of the fight. Obviously if Masvidal finds a way to get past Burns that would be the fight to make otherwise it seems he’s on a collision course with Covington unfortunately.

I was just looking at the rankings Is khamzat still welterweight or had he moved up now?

There’s talk of moving him up to middleweight given his struggles to make weight. Think cue ball head said he would move up and be in a position to fight either of the top 3

Rosario · « **Reply #30686 on:** March 19, 2023, 02:32:59 am »

Dana said at the presser that Colby deserves the next title shot

So he holds up the division by only fighting 4 times in 3 and a half years to protect his ranking and has no top 10 wins, yep just screams title shot.

People keep saying he's playing a character but I'm starting to start that's how he really is. Don't think he's ever had anything good to say about anyone.

He was talking shit about Matt Hughes in an after fight interview too, Hughes was basically paralysed and after rehabilitation and physio more or less learned to walk again, an inspirational story I'd say, not to Covington though, who just shit all over it.

He said himself he plays a character, during a more relaxed interview with Brenda Schaub few years ago.

Covington vs Usman and Belal vs Shavkat

UFC making a mockery of their fighters again.

Belal is now on an 8 win streak over 3 and a half years (one NC due to accidental eye poke). Covington has fought 5 times in those 3 years, lost 2 title fights.

Belal hasn't been beating top 5 fighters, Covington has some pedigree even though he is a massive bellend, if he beats Shavkat he'll put himself on the radar.

Covington hasn’t beaten anyone ranked.

Belal has beaten 3 of the current top 10. Fought the current champion that was a NC due to eye poke.

The others in the top 5 are Usman who has been champ, Covington who doesn’t fight, Chimaev who can’t make weight and has come from nowhere, Burns who has been hit and miss but got his title shot… and himself! Think Belal is far more deserving of the chance.

Away from that, Mokaev posted a picture of his legs after he didn’t tap at the weekend. His knee is identical to what mine looked like when I did my injury. I have a torn ACL and MCL, he’ll likely have similar and lucky not to have meniscus damage. Going to be out a long time before he is ready to fight again. He has time on his side being just 22, but his knee won’t be the same again.

Partial mcl tear, he reckons he'll be back in training in 6 weeks. I still can't believe he didn't tap to that, he's got unreal heart.

Anyone watching?

First time watching Yanez tonight, he's meant to be a good boxer.

I've been a good boy · « **Reply #30696 on:** April 9, 2023, 03:27:01 am »

Yanez is a good prospect, looking forward to seeing him

I don't think Adesanya has much chance tonight, expecting Pereira to walk him again. Last chance for Masvidal as well at the big stage

Masvidal is getting twated atm

Masvidal is washed, could do with retiring now. Also Yanez got his ass whooped, brilliant performance from Font

Yeah he’s done, time to retire.

On a side note and not really for this thread but Trumps popularity is scary, I fear he’ll be back in next term.

I was unpleasantly surprised seeing that orange c*nt sitting there.

Wtfffff that was crazy!! Pereira out cold

Izzy looked in trouble, Pereira went all out for it and got caught and lights out

I've been a good boy · « **Reply #30702 on:** April 9, 2023, 05:56:52 am »

Pereira way too slow and ponderous. Izzy is one hell of a fighter though, to do that to Pereira is crazy

stevieG786 · « **Reply #30703 on:** April 9, 2023, 06:11:08 am »

So happy for Izzy man. Stayed his demon tonight. Fucking lived it

Masvidal vs burns was good. Burns was always going to win though.

rawcusk8 · « **Reply #30704 on:** April 9, 2023, 06:22:34 am »

Khamzat active on Twitter wants a title fight, would love to see it happen. The pre fight stuff is guranteed to be as brilliant as the fight itself.

RedSamba · « **Reply #30705 on:** April 9, 2023, 07:28:31 am »

Can't stand Adesanya but fair fucking play, that was some KO

Rosario · « **Reply #30706 on:** April 9, 2023, 07:43:37 am »

Fuck yes Izzy way to slay the beast! Pereira got a bit overconfident and lazy which he can tend to do and paid the price in a big way. Only shit part is now we have to see another trilogy fight.

watching the post-fight presser now, the Egg said trilogy is unlikely and Pereira will probably move to 205

Can only hope! I like Pereira at 205, not too many wrestlers to contend with so it should suit him a lot. Kinda feel bad for Whittaker though he’s kinda stuck in no man’s land now with no obvious fights for him considering he’s beaten everyone else but lost to the champ twice.

BER · « **Reply #30709 on:** April 9, 2023, 02:00:04 pm »

Wow, what a fight. Looked like Adesanya was beginning to wilt and Pereira went chasing the finish, was about to get him out of there too i thought, but Izzy just bit down and two seconds later Pereira is asleep!

Doesn't get any better in terms of striking, elite of the elite.

Chimaev is coming though!

I've been a good boy · « **Reply #30710 on:** April 9, 2023, 02:12:26 pm »

Sick to death of constantly hearing about Chimaev, he does more talking than fighting. At this point, he's just hype. Burns showed him up, so he needs to actually fight at MW to prove himself before fighting Adesanya.

MMA is a very right wing sport and they were in Florida, i wouldn't read too much into it.

Just watched the event, and between trump and jake paul being there, and the fact that ufc merged with wwe https://www.cnbc.com/2023/04/03/wwe-ufc-merger-endeavor.html
I'm finding it hard to accept this as a legitimate sport anymore.

Found the whole night stomach turning once I realised the unhinged racist spacehopper was sat next to the baldy horrible wife beating c*nt White....fast forwarded through the entire event, sadly pausing to hear the washed up bum Masvidal arse licking the 'greatest ever president' ....shame Burns didn't put the dickhead to sleep prior to that fuckin nonsense

Max Holloway Vs Arnold Allen should be a good fight

34th Anniversary.

Elzar · « **Reply #30716 on:** April 16, 2023, 04:48:57 pm »

Allen put in a good show in the end. Holloway just doesn’t have it in him for me, he’s fun in that he throws lots and will go with anyone, but doesn’t seem to have the ability to knock someone out with his style. Clearly nowhere near enough skill to stop a quality grappler.

His last fight to end in knockout was 6 years ago. He’s basically just a clog at the top of the division currently.

Doesn't matter how you win, Max grinds them out, only lost to Volkanovski and Poirer in almost 10 years, and he was arguably robbed in one of the fights vs Volk, he's a top class fighter, deserves to be up there.

But where does he go from here, does he just keep winning and then have another go at Volk?

Why not?, or he could move up to lightweight.
