The MMA Thread: DON'T ASK 4 STREAMS & NO GIFS- Cannonier, Imavov, Reyes, Rosas on NOW

[dman14]

but Max wasnt the one to stop Conor. just sayin..

that ufc card is done. scrap it and push the fights to 223 or put it on fs1/fox

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

And conor didn't finish max either that wasn't the point lol

Conor tried to be slick outta nowhere and got shut down quick

 

[anderson]

at least max defending his title.

 

[spiderjericho]

That would be an ill rematch. Wasn’t Connor hurt that fight?

Feel like Blessed Era would wash Connor in a five round fight. But Connor always has those insane 1.5 first rounds and touch of death left.

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Conor ripped up his acl during the middle of the fight

Gutsy performance by him... max was also like 22

 

[QU!K]

Put Frankie in there with Jose Aldo

 

[P A Z]

It's time for

Spoiler

 

[shogun]

pettis way too washed now.

 

[QU!K]

Cub Swanson
Ortega

 

[jayt1202]

Hope they are able to at least make Ortega-Edgar.
A Swanson-Nate fight would be entertaining but Cub would be at a huge disadvantage due to height and reach. Nate would likely be able to keep him at distance and get a late tko or eventually a sub.

Aldo's been KO'd 3x in his last 4 fights.

He's washed, too.

Ariel saying Frankie vs Ortega is all but done

He also says that card may get cancelled all together and move their fight to another card

Woodley believes his next opponent will be nate Diaz this year

 

[bware113]

Aldo's been KO'd 3x in his last 4 fights.

He's washed, too.

FOH! Aldo got KO'd by current sitting champs. And won in a landslide victory against the current #2 contender.

Anthony Pettis hasn't won a fight against a top 10 guy in 3 yrs, and is 2-5 in that span.

Y'all be so reckless with the 'washed' term.

 

[shogun]

Aldo's been KO'd 3x in his last 4 fights.

He's washed, too.

I was gonna say that but he was competitive in his recent fight against max. The guy is still good.

 

[Deleted member 37467]

Still good, sure but we're talking about a guy who didn't lose for a decade and he wasn't out here skating by, he was destroying basically everyone.

When you go from being that to being brutally finished 3x in 4 fights, what are you?

If you want to make an argument for who's more washed, it's obviously Pettis but imo washed is washed.

 

[bware113]

How is 'washed' equal to be the #1 contender in a division you dominated for 10yrs?

When you go from being that to being brutally finished 3x in 4 fights, what are you?

A loser. Not the Champ any more. He only lost to 2 guys....after successfully clearing the division for the most part.

Aldo would need to slide to at least #6 before I can consider him 'washed' or any fighter for that matter. You can't be #1 / Top5 AND 'washed'. **** is an oxymoron by definition.

 

[QU!K]

Frankie should have to beat Jose Aldo to fight for the belt

 

[blackcease]

We gotta see what Aldo’s chin and cardio looks like in his next fight (if he even fights again) but the fact that he easily beat Frankie, who would probably or already has beat everybody else in the division, would suggests he’s not necessarily washed. He just slowed down with age and can’t beat the two best guys in the division at this point.

Pettis on the other hand would lose to most of the top 10 in his division. He’s definitely washed

 

[Deleted member 37467]

He just slowed down with age and can’t beat the two best guys in the division at this point.

So, then what is he? Can we say he's not as good as he once was, or...?

Also, Aldo is only 31, he's not really that old.

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Nate Diaz angling to fight woodley

Said He'd fight Eddie in a bathroom if he said something but not on ppv. Lmao. Guess Diaz is holding it against Eddie for not fighting him in 2015 after they got into it after the Gil fight

 

[jayt1202]

I'm not really excited about the prospect of the Diaz-Twood fight though many sources are reporting it could be close. Twood would likely take him down with ease like when Nate fought Rory.

 

[Cashflow]

McGOAT-Diaz 3 for the Welterweight Title at the end of the year!

 

[bware113]

So, then what is he? Can we say he's not as good as he once was, or...?

Yeah, we can use the former 'not as good' as a descriptor. I don't think he's gotten enough Ls, especially from those ranked below him, to be considered washed.

TWood gonna maul Nate. **** not even close.
