OT: General UFC/MMA/Boxing discussion VII

[Fazkovsky]

Khabib beats Connor

 

[MD thaivuN]

time to hear Rogan talk about Holm's counter-striking (that's never consistent) and Cyborg's "poor" gas-tank (that's actually pretty good)

 

[Pompeius Magnus]

Holm is always so damn jittery before she fights.

 

[Skip Bayless]

Cyborg should just come out with the Undertaker's theme

 

[Habs_Apostle]

Cyborg is a beast. Holly is good at countering, though. But Cyborg has shown patience and the ability to pick her shots.

Yeah, Holly always pacing before fights... ha-ha... she's already ran a mile...

 

[MD thaivuN]

for Cyborg, she just needs to cut the space, wait for Holly to lead, and counter. Rinse & Repeat

for Holly, run the f*** away, do not engage for 2 rounds and pray Cyborg gets absolutely reckless

 

[Habs_Apostle]

Holly's strong! Competitive round. Holly needs to kick more!

 

[Pompeius Magnus]

Too bad Holly has no clinch game at all.

 

[Habs_Apostle]

Borg fighting a girl her own size, makes a big difference. Borg's most competitive fight.

 

[MD thaivuN]

Holly is not very good at leading. keeps getting countered by Cyborg

 

[Pompeius Magnus]

I have to hand it to Holly, she's been able to absorb some big rights.

 

[Habs_Apostle]

Holly hurt at the end. Cyborg fighting a very patient fight.

 

[Pompeius Magnus]

Cyborg is landing more and more power strikes. She's leading by a mile as far as significant strikes go.

 

[Habs_Apostle]

Great fight! Holly acquitted herself well. Two tough, strong, very game women! Both paydays well deserved.

 

[MD thaivuN]

Cyborg has grown to be a very well-put together counter-striker.

 

[Pompeius Magnus]

Time to find another girl who's willing to fight at 145 .

 

[TRG]

Bad card overall. I love Dom Cruz but he was annoying as f*** tonight.

 

[Pompeius Magnus]

Robert Whittaker out of UFC 221; Yoel Romero to fight Luke Rockhold for interim belt

Terrible time for Whittaker's body to turn heel on him, the division was basically his for the taking. Let's see if Rockhold can fight his way to the top now. Yoel is always a very tough nut to crack.

 

[Pompeius Magnus]

Michael Johnson looks like he's skin and bones at 145. The cut must have been hellish.

 

[TT1]

Khabib beats Connor

Of course, Khabib is the GSP of lightweights. His style is perfect vs Connor.

 

[Pompeius Magnus]

Nice to see Matt Hughes walk to the octogon again. A true living legend.

 

[MD thaivuN]

I think Usman is the future champ. Super athlete, high fight IQ

 

[Pompeius Magnus]

Usman almost walked straight into a guillotine to start the fight, to his credit he never panicked and wasn't in any real danger.

 

[MD thaivuN]

it's scary how calm and casual Usman looks as he's grinding hard on his opponents. He fights like a well-oiled machine

 

[Pompeius Magnus]

Usman really likes to slam his opponents, a bit like a young Rampage. I'd like to see him do a powerbomb, havent seen one of those in years.
