Mr.StealYoDallara
I'm still trying to digest those last 2 fights.
Who else is hyped about Conor vs Cowboy?
RAWR
Dallara Den
Hebrews 13:8
$50k fine and 6 months for Conor , $500k and 9 months for Khabib....
Hebrews 13:8
The spider has slowed significantly....
Hebrews 13:8
Soooo
Jon Jones or Anthony Smith ?
I'd like to see Smith finish it, I'm tired of all the picogram nonsense.
I dont see Usman taking Woodleys belt....

Only so much you can do once age starts creeping up on you, that is unless they are doing TRT, just ask Vitor
I was actually talking to a friend about Jon Jones the other day and I belive with or without this doping violation he's the best light heavyweight walking in the ufc at the moment trust me this is coming from somone who doesn't not care to see him fight anymore, I mean once DC left that division for HW I really don't see too much competition for Jones there, now if Somone who has had issues making weight and wants a championship belt were to move up in weight *cough*Yoel Romero*cough* that fight would interest me more than a Jones/DC 3
And as for Woodley, I see him staying that champ for a few more fights, Im excited to see how Askren will do against ufc level competition, I'm hoping to see him rise up and get a title shot
Also rumors of Cain retiring after tonight if things "don't go as he likes" by that I think he's gearing up for a WWE career like Rousey, which would be a godsend for WWE seeing as they could do the rematch between "baddest man on the planet" and the man who ripped through him in 1 round but on Brock's turf, the build up could be marketing gold for them, I mean I'd be sad to see him leave for that but hey as long as he'd be getting paid well he deserves that, hell after those JDS wars he deserves to be as rich as Connor

Mr.StealYoDallara
Gah... Fireworks out of Ngannou! It was kind of a sad match to make though. I really want to see Ngannou rocket-launch some more heads into orbit, but I didn't want one of those heads to be Cain's.
Hebrews 13:8
That was a pretty ugly knee twist.
If that hadnt happened it would have been a better match.
Mr.StealYoDallara
i'd say we will see Cain again in 6 months maybe. At least DC doesnt have to worry about dropping the Heavyweight Belt just yet. I wonder if Ngannou's power and reach could outplay DC's wrestling? It would probably go the way all DC's big fights go, clinch, uppercut, takedown, grind them out. Can't say its a bad strategy, just not exciting.

That knee twist happened after Ngannou made contact, it's hard to see, but when watching a replay keep an eye on Ngannou's right fist
Me being a Cain fan wanted to belive different, but after rewatching it and in slow motion you can see that right fist make contact, Crain's head snap, then his knees give out
Mr.StealYoDallara
Woodley vs Usman... Jones against a Lion(heart)... Lawler vs Askren....
Anyone else watching this weekend? I havent decided whether I want to buy this one or just find a free stream on reddit.
Hebrews 13:8
No.
The highlights and results will be on youtube with in an hour or two.
Hebrews 13:8
Askren submits Lawler round 1.
According to UFC dot com , not on youtube yet.
Hug Supplier
The submission stoppage was a big controversy, lots of people saying it was early but in Herb Dean's defense from the position I seen from the fight I would of probably called it the same, there's a point when Lawler's arm drops from its position and looks like it goes limp, then the stoppage occurs only to find out that Lawler wasn't out
Mr.StealYoDallara
That one was a tough fight to see go down that way.
Main and Comain where interesting fights to watch. Woodley and Smith both looked like they were in dreamland or something. Not awake. Oh well. I guess Jones vs Santos is next? I dont see that going any different than all the other power punchers that Jones has fought
Hebrews 13:8
If he has to take that kind of damage in every fight I dont see him staying un-retired too long.
He says he's not there for the money, by that I guess he means he's not hurting for $.
A couple more rounds of that and it may have been stopped because of his damage.
Hebrews 13:8
Beautiful overhand left to KO Till, then Masvidal puts 4 or 5 on Leon Edwards face ?
Fergusons saying someone put a chip in him and is watching him ? Wow....
Mr.StealYoDallara
Masvidal looked impressive. Hopefully they will get him back in there again soon.
Ferguson going nuts doesnt surprise me. He has to be kind of nuts to kick a metal pole. He should have relaxed and taken the surgery recovery slower imo.
Hebrews 13:8
He's lucky there's no athletic commission in the UK.
Hug Supplier
So Ferguson finally lost it...... I mean what did you really expect any different from someone who trains under Eddie Bravo?
Hebrews 13:8
Dillashaw suspended one year, stripped of belt....
Mr.StealYoDallara
Interesting. I bet Cody is doing the "Conor McGregor laugh" while watching this news. That and/or he's pulling the "Not surprised, Motherf***ers" meme out. Didn't he say Dillashaw was juicing during one of their press conferences before a fight?
Hebrews 13:8
Wonderboy is a terrible matchup for Pettis.
May not go well for him....
Mr.StealYoDallara
Pettis looked big at weigh ins. I wonder how much extra punishment he can take at 170.
Wonderboy is a local boy here in Upstate SC though and i occasionally attend church with him when im not travelling for work, so I've gotta cheer for Stephen.
Hug Supplier
Well well well............ Showtime huh?
Mr.StealYoDallara
Impressive. Bounced off the cage, then sprung forward with that Superman Punch to close the gap. All while Wonderboy thought he'd be closing in on Pettis against the fence. Hats off to him.
One of the MMA News Youtube channels was showing the post fight reactions of other fighters after their first KO loss and how they all seem kinda broken up about it and super emotional at their post fight interview/post fight press conference.
And then they show Wonderboy's livestream from the hospital and he's all upbeat and positive, saying things like "nah it didnt hurt at all. was just fighting one second, then lost time and woke up in the back where people are telling me bro you got knocked OOOUUUTTT!!!"
Hebrews 13:8
Say it aint so....
https://themaclife.com/featured-post...decided-retire
Hug Supplier
Honestly I don't care to see him in the octagon any more, good for him for him for making his money and running, his UFC career is okay but nothing more than something that an average top 15 contender could do if they were a great marketer, toss some luck in and bam mma superstar.
Hebrews 13:8
Is it a coincidence he announced retirement the day before this story hit ?
https://www.nytimes.com/2019/03/26/s...l-assault.html
I dont think so.....
