GDT: UFC on Fox: Johnson vs. Bader

[Avs_19]

Man, Rumble is a beast.

Bader put himself in a horrible spot and paid for it big time.

 

[Burnaby_Joe*]

A lot of power in those punches.

 

[Vincent Vega]

LOL Christ. Rumbles power is frightening.

 

[member 51464]

Kind of a weak night of fights, honestly.....

 

[MD thaivuN]

trying to kimura Rumble's arm has to be the worst tactical move ever

 

[Avs_19]

Bader comes up small in a big fight again. Probably never getting a title shot now.

Faberesque.

Wtf was Bader thinking?

Also, (not that it would matter) punch that put him out was back of the head.

Faber is at least somewhat competitive against top competition in some form or another

 

[Know Your Enemy]

Bader should be fined for a performance like that

 

[End of Line]

The amount of power Rumble is able to generate is insane.

 

[Spawn]

I'm never going to get over how big Rumble looks at light heavy-weight lol.

Still laugh when they show his KOs at 170 during his highlight reels. I can't imagine that weight cut.

 

[Peter Griffin]

Wtf was Bader thinking?

I think he was so afraid of getting KO'ed that he took the first chance he could get at a takedown and then ended up in a horrible position. Rumble looked good on the ground which is good for him going into a potential fight against Jones/Cormier.

And how about Ben Rothwell? This was a guy that not long ago was involved in that pathetic fight against Mark Hunt in Denver where he could barely stay on his feet after 2 rounds. 4 finishes in a row, three against top guys in the division. I'd be surprised if a Rothwell/Stipe fight isn't in the cards for the UFC. Although I could see the UFC doing an Overreem/Stipe fight as well with maybe Rothwell/Browne.

According to the science of MMA Math, Rothwell has murdered Overeem who KO'ed JDS who decisioned Stipe Miocic.

Give Rothwell the title shot

Rothwell has some wins over big name guys, but I think he looks too much like a bar room brawler for Uncle Dana to let him get a shot.

I would prefer a rematch. That would be a better punishment.

If this guy can be given a shot:

So can Rothwell.

Rumble might be the most impressive one round fighter of all-time, in any weight class. I like Bader, but he is what he is, and that's a top 10 guy, nothing more. He'll never get a title shot, and I don't see him ever beating elite talent. I'd love to see what the odds were on Rothwell submitting Barnett. That was crazy. He's certainly making a case for himself but I just don't see him as HW champion. My guess is this is where he tops out.

 

[Rocko604]

Sage had strep throat. The hype train is back on the tracks.

I hope he gets the loser of Khabib/Ferguson and gets stopped again.

I don't care if he has no chance to winning the belt, i'll keep believing in him. He has dangerous power and he's actually amongst the most accurate punchers of the division and seem to be able deliver that dangerous offense into the 3rd round (based on the Vera fight).
