OT: General UFC/MMA/Boxing discussion VII

[MD thaivuN]

i think Holm is an overrated striker. Good at counter-punching, mostly wants to lead but is bad at it. Her game is just disconnected

 

[Pompeius Magnus]

Condit is looking very rusty, the crispness isn't there at all in his striking. Doesn't help that Magny is a crafty vet who knows how to grind out a round.

 

[MD thaivuN]

Magny has a lot of trash volume. Sucks to see Condit lose this fight if he does lose it.

 

[Pompeius Magnus]

Yep, no rhythm or energy for Condit tonight. Too bad, I guess retirement was the right call in the end.

 

[MD thaivuN]

this is a big test for Calvillo. Esparza can absolutely derail her hype via wrestle-f***

 

[Pompeius Magnus]

Bit of a close call for Calvillo, that armbar was pretty deep.

 

[MD thaivuN]

Esparza is winning the striking? Calvillo needs lots of work

 

[Pompeius Magnus]

Calvillo really needs to work on her striking defense. She's getting hit with way too many clean shots, you can't have a long career in this sport taking useless damage like that.

 

[Pompeius Magnus]

The hype train just hit a snag.

 

[Pompeius Magnus]

Time to see if Khabib can still work his sambo magic.

 

[MD thaivuN]

Edson with the strategical inside leg kicks. Much harder to catch those than the outside leg kicks. Khabib might be in trouble

 

[MD thaivuN]

jesus, Khabib's top game is unforgiving.

 

[Habs_Apostle]

Khabib a beast!

 

[Pompeius Magnus]

I haven't seen ground and pound like that since a young Fedor. No exageration. It's like getting attacked by a freaking bear.

 

[Skip Bayless]

Khabib's ground and pound is insane

 

[MD thaivuN]

Barboza is probably the toughest match-up for Khabib because of the footwork, speed and takedown defense. And Khabib is smashing him badly

 

[Habs_Apostle]

Khabib's striking has a lot to be desired, though. But the threat of the takedown helps him out.

 

[Habs_Apostle]

Ha-ha... Barboza's just so tired...

 

[Pompeius Magnus]

Khabib don't want none of those spin kicks.

 

[Skip Bayless]

Barboza is a warrior

 

[Habs_Apostle]

Good job both guys. Khabib mauled him, though. Khabib-Ferguson is interesting.

 

[G0bias]

Big respect for Barboza, Khabib is just a freak. Only Ferguson would be able to keep up with him, IMO. McGregor would get annihilated.

 

[MD thaivuN]

watching Khabib's ground & pound gave me a concussion

 

[Habs_Apostle]

Good answer, Khabib. Who the hell knows what Conor's doing. Just draw attention to yourself and focus on Ferguson who's game.

 

[Pompeius Magnus]

If I'm Conor, they can't pay me enough to do that to myself. Ferguson might be crazy enough to do it though.
