GDT: UFC Fight Night: Lee vs. Oliveira

[Tobias Kahun]

Walker was a major hype train. I don't see champ material in him, he's not a smart fighter and has lazy defending

I see the same, He's definitely overhyped.

 

[m9]

Not the prettiest fight, but great gameplan by Krylov to get the victory.

 

[Avs_19]

Krylov went from being mounted to top control in full guard in no time. Walker was exhausted but that was so bad.

 

[h2]

Krylov is complete garbage. I don't mind it when fighters get taken to the ground, but Krylov could barely even punish a novice in Walker on the ground. So many missed shots for 3 rounds. Just a boring fight.

You’ll get overhyped if you have that kind of showmanship and start your Ufc career with such highlight reel knockouts. That will happen 10 out of 10 times

Since the shoulder it’s all been downhill

I think not having the crowd is effecting the fights. It changes the adrenaline flow and all.

This.

Here's where we have our first finish tonight - Moicano with the submission.

Most of these guys have fought on small shows, on some form of TUF, contender series, and even early UFC prelims. Fighting with small crowds isn't that big of a deal for them... or at least it shouldn't be.

Good call. Made it look easy too.

 

[member 51464]

The trash talk post fight with no crowd is bizarre too. Haha

 

[CDJ]

I got a Moicano finish at +210, thought that was strange

 

[Avs_19]

Hadzovic does make a good point. Haha.

I had Moicano by submission at +330. I guess he did have some question marks coming in, but loved those odds.

That's great.

I honestly should’ve scrolled further down and taken what you did, it’s not like he’s knocked anybody out before

^And it also improves fighter safety while optimizing their performance

just means healthier fighters with better fights

 

[m9]

Don't have a great read on Burns/Maia. I think Burns wins by either KO or decision but I hope I'm wrong and we get some fun action on the ground instead.

 

[Neutrinos]

Maybe it's just me but I'm so sick of these "superfights". They've completely diluted the meaning of the word. You have guys who've had the belt five seconds talking about legacy and superfights. A real superfight is GSP/Silva. Two guys who defended their belts countless times and completely cleaned out their division.

I'm not saying this has happened yet, but it inevitably will. You'll have a guy like Lee who doesn't want to fight at 170, win the 165 belt, then call out the 175 champ. It's absurd. I'd like to see the UFC implement some sort of rule/standard where you have to defend your belt at least three times before superfight even comes out of your mouth.

The divisions have been enough of a mess as it is, adding more would bring even more vacant belts and paper champs.

When you start caring about divisions being held up more than you do about seeing the top fighters matched up, I think you've lost sight of what makes MMA great

He's right though, it will be an issue if the UFC keeps allowing it to happen.

But it's really simple, the UFC can just add divisions and then not have guys jump around the first chance they get. It's on them to stop doing it until it's the appropriate time.

 

[h2]

Top BJJ action coming up? Sure! Let's do this. I like some high level BJJ.

 

[pistolpete11]

What's going on with Masvidal? Is he getting the title shot? Is Usman hurt or something? Masvidal still holding out for Conor?

 

[h2]

Going with Burns on this one, I think it'll be lopsided.

 

[CDJ]

WOW what a KO
