OT: General UFC/MMA/Boxing discussion VII

[MD thaivuN]

I like what Usman did when Meek is throwing the elbows, he retaliated with elbows of his own. Many fighters on top forgets to attack and worry too much about control and lets the bottom to attack.

 

[Pompeius Magnus]

Not quite the statement win he probably wanted but solid win none the less. Usman can sure grapple.

 

[Pompeius Magnus]

Paige is looking for that switch kick early.

 

[MD thaivuN]

We have a case of a good fighter with bad athleticism vs a good athlete who's not good at fighting

 

[Pompeius Magnus]

Paige is essentially the female Northcutt, amazing natural athlete with zero understanding of the fighting game. She falls for every little trap .She'd probably be better at straight kick boxing.

I used to be somewhat high on PVZ because she used to be a gritty and physical, despite lacking all the technical tools. But now, she resorts to become a fancy outside kickboxer without any understanding of what makes a good outside striker and STILL without the technical tools.

At the very least, Northcutt knows what he's good at.

She does try, the general effort level seems to be there. She's still so young that there's still hope for her if she can sort out what kind of fighter she really wants to be. Moving back to a stronger camp would be a good idea, I don't know how good she can become training at Gracie Barra.

Let's go Choi. Wanna see this kid knock Stephens out and have a rematch with Swanson.

 

[MD thaivuN]

Don't think Stephens is a guy you can knock out. he is top-tier level tough

 

[Pompeius Magnus]

Both guys murdering each other with leg kicks.

 

[c3z4r]

What a f***ing war, it's really opening up now. Both guys throwing with some very bad intentions.

 

[MD thaivuN]

Trying to knock out Stephens is never a good gameplan lol

 

[c3z4r]

Yikes, Choi got killed at the end there with those sky-high elbows.

 

[Pompeius Magnus]

Choi needs to work on his strike defense, he's way too easy to hit with straight shots. He's got a lot of heart though, he'll be back soon.

The long time off didn't help him either. He was already struggling to breath in the 2nd round.

 

[MD thaivuN]

The problem with Choi is that his defense is purely distance based and he doesn't have the cardio to maintain that defense style. He looks fine defensively when he has space to move. He's bad defensively when backed up on the fence and he doesn't do a good job to prevent himself from being pressured to the fence. And then 2nd round, he doesn't have the energy to move.

His nose may have been busted, he definitely was breathing with his mouth open.

 

[Pompeius Magnus]

Stephens vs Ortega could be pretty good, the pure brawler against the BJJ wizard, classic styles clash.

UFC plans Tony Ferguson-Khabib Nurmagomedov title fight; Conor McGregor would be stripped
The UFC is reportedly finally tired of waiting after Conor.

Dana White: Tony Ferguson vs. Khabib Nurmagomedov Set for UFC 223 in Brooklyn
Per Dana, Ferguson vs Khabib on the April 7th show is a done deal. As usual with him this has to be taken with a grain of salt until it's actually confirmed.

This is a good way to put pressure on Conor. All it is.

See my latest post ! Dana hasn't confirmed if the proposed April 7th fight will be for the actual belt but it very well could be.

Bellator 192 weigh-in results: 'Rampage' 31 pounds heavier than Sonnen, Lima-MacDonald on point
Dude, at 253 I give Rampage MAYBE one round before he's completely gassed out. For his frame that's ridiculously heavy.

 

[MD thaivuN]

Rampage will be so slow and flat. He's asking to be tied up and wrestled down

 

[TRG]

Tomorrow will be...
