OT: General UFC/MMA/Boxing discussion VII

[Pompeius Magnus]

The funny part is I was watching interview with max and YouTube comments were all about how drained or high he looked.

Now he’s got concussion like symptoms. That’s too bad. 3rd time he’s out of a card this year!

He did seem pretty out of it in the more recent promo stuff. This really sucks, I was looking forward to that fight even more so than the DC vs Stipe one. Holloway is starting to look like a cursed champ.

DC trips at end of PC. Would be terrible luck if he’s out.

Daniel Cormier tripping at UFC 226 press conference proves MMA gods' twisted sense of humor
He's fine apparently, we've avoided a Tony Ferguson repeat.

 

[Pompeius Magnus]

Costa is looking enormous, as usual.

 

[mariolemieux66]

Good UFC card going on.

 

[Pompeius Magnus]

Are we getting the bad Uriah Hall or the good Uriah Hall tonight ? It's usually the former but the latter will sometime pop up at the most unexpected times.

Good Uriah Hall is a myth. Guy has just some terrible fight IQ.

 

[Pompeius Magnus]

Costa is the brazilian Northcutt, if Northcutt could actually throw some bombs and had a mean streak.

 

[MD thaivuN]

Hall relies a lot on confidence to fight. and everytime Hall gets hit by Costa, that confidence meter bar is going back to zero lol

 

[Pompeius Magnus]

Costa has a good motor for such a muscled up dude. He's no Yoel Romero in that aspect. He hits like a freaking train too.

 

[MD thaivuN]

I love a talent like Costa. Freak athlete, smart pressuring offense, willing to cheat in-cage. His defense isn't good, but that's a very general MMA problem because defense is the last thing fighters learn.

 

[Cobra Commander]

Miocic is just to much of a beast, Cormier will have to wrestle like a champ.

 

[Pompeius Magnus]

If DC can pull this off it'll make up for most of his Bones Jones stigma legacy wise. I'm actually rooting for him honestly.

 

[Pompeius Magnus]

Rogan with his usual hyperbole, best of all time promo talk.

 

[MD thaivuN]

Hoping Lewis beats Ngannou. Lewis is the only thing that is fun at Heavyweight.

 

[Pompeius Magnus]

Time to see how much Saki's mma game has improved. unless his opponent is crazy enough to just trade with him.

 

[MD thaivuN]

over/under 2 minutes till Rountree gasses? lol Rountree has zero ground game to test Saki

 

[Pompeius Magnus]

The house is still far from full. I guess people will only be coming in for the main event.

 

[Pompeius Magnus]

Aw man, that was a hand picked opponent for Saki, he's going to be set back for a while now. He went too obvious on the leg kick, you have to set those up better.

 

[MD thaivuN]

retired Hendo looks 60 lol

 

[LyricalLyricist]

Shocked he lost like that

 

[Pompeius Magnus]

Pettis used to be so good, I don't know if he'll ever go back to the way he was.

 

[Pompeius Magnus]

Sweet triangle ! On a very hard to handle guy to boot.

 

[MD thaivuN]

Pettis is nowhere near as good as he was, but Chiesa was the right kind of fight for Pettis to win. Chiesa is prone to being submitted and his coach is known for saying ridiculous things like "Only a p***y feel body shots" or something like that.

 

[Pompeius Magnus]

Good first round, both guys are throwing.
