OT: General UFC/MMA/boxing discussion III: Jon Jones is still a **** up

[CupInSIX]

It's kinda amazing how much experience Overeem has. The guy has been pretty much everywhere. I still remember him as a skinny 205 kickboxer in his early Pride days, when he'd walk to the ring carrying a giant mallet.

Chuck Liddell made a name for himself against him. It's crazy how long the big guys stick around. Mir, Arlovski, Werdum, Overeem, Sapp.

Legit 230+ guys that are athletic and well rounded enough are pretty rare. Those that fit the bill can find fights almost as long as they want to. I think it's human nature at it's core, there's something special about larger than life dudes duking it out.

When is Faber going to retire? He's still decent, but he has a lot of miles on him

 

[MD thaivuN]

I got Rivera to beat Faber. Jimmie Rivera is legit good

 

[Pompeius Magnus]

That leg is gonna be hurting big time tomorrow .

 

[durojean]

I d like to watch the fight but don't know how....

 

[mariolemieux66]

Punk up now

 

[Tabarouette]

i'm marking out

 

[M.C.G. 31]

It's just really nice seeing Punk actually happy and excited to perform again.

 

[Pompeius Magnus]

It's weird seeing Punk so skinny.

 

[mariolemieux66]

Punk has no business in the UFC

 

[Tabarouette]

welp. He had the balls to at least try it, but that's that

 

[Pompeius Magnus]

About what you'd expect I guess. MMA is a HARD sport to learn, let alone be good at. Punk will need some more time. Still ballsy of him to even try.

He should have started in some lower MMA organization.

 

[M.C.G. 31]

He's 38-years-old. You just can't expect success stepping in the octagon for the first time at that age and training for real for only two years.

 

[mariolemieux66]

Punk reminds me Diamond Dallas Page

 

[Tabarouette]

He should have started in some lower MMA organization.

heh this is different, UFC is also about giving a show and that fight probably sold a lot of PPVs

Oh for sure. I was talking for Punk's own good.

I was actually nervous and worry about the guy.

Even if Punk had experience as a boxer lets say, he doesn't stand much of a chance against a MMA guy. Look at Kimbo for instance.

 

[Pompeius Magnus]

I wish he'd gotten at least a minute or two on his feet, it's hard to evaluate where he's at with him getting crushed like that.

 

[Habs_Apostle]

Crap, just tuned in and missed the fiasco. Well at least Mr Brooks didn't get hurt. Big boys now!

 

[mariolemieux66]

That was odd.

Shouldn't the fight had been stopped?

 

[mariolemieux66]

That might just be that referee last fight in the UFC

 

[MD thaivuN]

That was odd.

Shouldn't the fight had been stopped?

yeah it should been a TKO win for Werdum.

 

[Pompeius Magnus]

Weird fight, both guys look kinda uneasy and tentative.

 

[Deebs]

Just a terrible fight this Werdum and Browne match
