Wow, huge win for Till. Looked the better fighter from the start to be honest, Cerrone wanted none of it.

Is Till a red?

Till/Masvidal would be tasty.

but.... looks like Till will be fighting Perry next.

GiorgosCarraGoonies · « **Reply #26327 on:** October 21, 2017, 10:04:21 pm »

jesus I hope Till knocks Perry's teeth down his throat

Absolutely buzzing after that made up

Great fight. He's a beast.

Cowboy looked like he didn't want to be there. He knows who Till is now!

Perry is fighting in December isn't he?

Till likes to stay active (injury permitting) is there anyone he could face in December? A lot of the division seem to have something lined up.

Does Gunnar Nelson have anything planned?

The comparisons with McGregor are legit too! Southpaw, bouncy, confident and fearless

Till wants Woodley or current champion at Anfield, I’m down for a bit of that

Adam_LFC · « **Reply #26336 on:** October 21, 2017, 11:09:44 pm »

Congrats to Till the redman. Onwards and upwards!

Red_Irishman · « **Reply #26337 on:** October 22, 2017, 12:02:27 am »

He looked massive to be honest. Not sure if cowboy is the biggest WW though.

Any way, great win. Hope he fucks Mike Perry up.

He's not, we know he's moved up.

But, regardless, what a fucking win.

Said that watching it. He doesn't control the range as well as McGregor does, but he's in and out, and the way he throws that left uppercut is almost identical. Cerrone didn't want to know. Hope he gets Perry. He'll rip his dick off. *when I say dick, that's really just his head in truth*.

I really think Bisping is going to easily beat GSP. I feel like it's a certainty. I'm open to correction.

Its a difficult one to call given GSP's 4 year layoff. I have literally no idea how this fight will pan out which is why I can't wait for it. Although, best fight on the card is Cody vs. TJ for me. Close but think Cody wins due to his impressive stand-up.
I've heard they've been struggling to sell this one? Seems as though any card without Conor (or Jones to a lesser extent), often struggles to sell.

Not surprising.

Aside from McGregor the UFC has no bina fide stars.

We keep hearing how 'UFC is going to overtake boxing', so I always assumed the UFC was growing massively. Seems as though Conor is most probably distorting its actual popularity and growth.

Genuinely think the high water mark in MMA popularity has been and gone...

Broad Spectrum · « **Reply #26346 on:** October 23, 2017, 09:11:31 pm »

Personally I’m quite happy it’s no-where near the popularity of boxing. Feel sorry for the fighters because they should be paid more, and higher revenues should translate into a higher purse for fighters. But apart from that I don’t really see how an increased popularity would really benefit the sport outside of lining pockets for those at the top.

Enjoy McGregor for the short while that we have him.

I agree, in theory. Bisping is taller, heavier, longer and has always had very good takedown defence. But GSP is an all-time great and if the layoff has done him well, he could be too much for Bisping.

2009 I think. There's nowhere near the starpower overall now.

Pedro Munhoz just had an incredible submission finish.

Imagine talking constant shit about Brazil and then labouring to a decision win over a gassed 40 year old.

Hope Covington gets Wonderboy next.

Machida probably needs to stop fighting now. It's amazing how older fighters carry on when it's clearly detrimental to their health. I suppose it's the love of the game but there needs to be some sort advisory body set up to tell these guys when to stop.

I think most of them still underestimate the effects of getting repeatedly hit in the head. I suppose CTE is relatively new.

Also: Colby Covington, bit of a dickhead isn't he? No takedown, no win for Maia.

Khabib Vs Barbosa announced for the end of December. Winner of that will surely face the winner of McGregor Ferguson? (Providing that fight happens)

Chakan · « **Reply #26359 on:** November 2, 2017, 01:54:11 am »

Conor says he won’t fight in the UFC again unless he’s co-promoting the fight.
