General UFC/MMA/Boxing discussion VI

I decided to go. With 3 title fights I doubt all 3 flop.

Sweet, I'm sure you'll be having a blast.

Moose with the mouse! Looks like Shlemenko took it to me. Oh gave it to Mousasi. Well, he's a "star" now for Bellator so not surprising.

 

[Pompeius Magnus]

Shlemenko was dominant at times but Gegard did just enough I guess. That right eye was really messed up by the end, I can't imagine he was seeing much of anything coming from that side . Coker had to be scared big time, they need Moussasi to go on a solid run of wins.

McGregor ejected from the UFC Poland event?

Yeah he was in Artem Lobov's corner for his fight and there was some shenanigans where he wouldn't go back to his seat. I'm trying to find some more info, I didn't watch the prelims.

It feels like Sam Alvey just fought not too long ago and i believe lost.

He fought Rashad Evans in august.

Right!
Not much time between fights.
I wonder if he took this fight in Poland on short notice.

That's exactly what happened, he's replacing Trevor Smith in that fight. Since he (understandably) missed weight this is a catch weight fight.

Make sense. I had no idea there was a card today. Thanks for the info as usual.

Yeah they barely promoted it at all and it's in a different time zone so I'm guessing a lot of people won't even know it's there. The main card looks decent though, Cowboy vs Till will be a ton of fun.

UFC barely promotes any card that doesn't have their big stars.

There's way too many cards I think, the product is really diluted. Even as an hardcore fight fan it gets hard for me to stay interested in every little thing when there's a card every other week.

 

[Belial]

Nice choke!

 

[Pompeius Magnus]

Standing rear naked choke ! I having seen that one in a long while !

 

[Pompeius Magnus]

Karolina in stalker mode, as usual.

 

[MD thaivuN]

Karolina is really good in close range quarters with the knees and elbows, just wish she was better at range striking.

 

[Pompeius Magnus]

This is turning into an easy day at the office for Karolina. She's just physically too strong for her opponent.

 

[Pompeius Magnus]

I have to hand it to the Cowboy, he's willing to fight anyone, even when it doesn't make much sense career wise .

 

[mariolemieux66]

Goodbye Cowboy!

This was way too easy for Till.

 

[Belial]

Dayum

 

[MD thaivuN]

Cowboy doesn't do well against people who can box and cut space

 

[Pompeius Magnus]

Cerone was in big trouble from the get go, he wasn't seeing the strikes coming at all. Huge career making performance for Till.

Good write-up on GSP on the Bleacher's report. Long but interesting read.
