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

[spiderjericho]

You know what doesn’t make sense?

Why they didn’t let him be a double champ?

They let DC, Conor, Henry and Amanda become double champs.

This dude is legitimately the greatest fighter of all time.

Now I am concerned with his declining striking. Old JBJ would wash Stipe, Francis, HW DC, etc.

They moved an event for him when he was pulsing. I think they’re done catering to Jones given how often he screws up. They put all their eggs in that basket many times to have **** go south.

Jones did the mind-blowing thing and decided to solely focus on one division and not hold LHW hostage. I mean, that's legit unbelievable in the times we're living in where every single Champ who wanted to move up or down held the other division hostage

I give Jon all the respect in the world for that. Good on him for letting the other fighter's get a real chance at the belt

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Honestly not as intrigued with the Rumble news as I wish I was

On another note, Bader is doing great things in Bellator and probably getting paid a **** ton, but with no Jon or DC anymore, I feel like Bader could seriously challenge for the belt. Reyes vs Bader is actually pretty dope match to me

I feel like Reyes or Thiago are the best in the division

 

[jayt1202]

Bader could definitely compete in today's UFC LHW division and potentially become champ, especially without JJ in the picture of course. His next fight in Bellator this Friday looks like it could be a good one, the card itself is decent with Roy Nelson also fighting.

 

[dasitmane]

I love rumble but I don’t think blowing up as big as he got and then cutting back down after all this time away is going to do any favours to his gas tank. He’ll be a nightmare for those first five minutes though.

It's hilarious that you post this directly after the Rumble tweet, because I'm not sure I've ever seen a man more terrified before/in a fight than Bader was when he fought Rumble.

 

[jayt1202]

Haha so true. We'll see what kind of shape Rumble is in when he returns though. Interested to see if they give him a high level fight right away.

 

[spiderjericho]

He looks like he’s really slimed down on his IG.

The only two fighters in the LHW division that were going to give Rumble fits were JBJ and DC. Gone, it’s his division. He knocked out Bader, Gustafson.

Obviously he never fought against Santos and Reyes.

Probably missed the news in here but Ortega/Zombie October 17

Holloway/Kattar trying to get made. So I guess it'll be Volk/Zabit

I completely missed all of this

Why did it take so long for it to get made lol and it’s still another 2 months away. That’s dumb

I also am in favor of giving everyone fresh opponents Even tho max I feel def got bad luck

zabit probably doesn’t deserve a shot but circumstances dictate as such

max vs kattar will be insane

 

[jayt1202]

Hmm I'm definitely a fan of those two FW fights, also saw that Zabit/Yair got rescheduled to UFC 254. So I'm wondering if they still keep that fight at 254 or scrap it and give Zabit the shot against Volk, I'd be in favor of the latter as I'm sure most would be.

 

[freakydestroyer]

I know Ortega is public enemy #1 and everyone is rooting for him to lose, but all bias aside I think he probably beats Zombie.

 

[SORIANOTRON]

Bro ortega aint been seen since that beating max gave him what, 2 years ago??????

yikes.

Rewatching that fight, ortega had no business being in there with max that night..

wonder where he is now, both mentally and physically....

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Wrong thread

[steevoo1]

If Ortega goes in there and keep it standing the entire time, it'll be a short night for him. Zombies boxing has been A1 since he linked up with Eddie Cha.. man's actually got him to use head movement.

He can't be that dumb, he's going to try to take down his opponents from now on.

 

[xbiker47]

I wonder how long they will wait until officially announcing fight island part 2

 

[steevoo1]

He can't be that dumb, he's going to try to take down his opponents from now on.

His BJJ is real slick but wrestling isn't that great from what I remember. He gets hit a lot and rarely goes for takedowns.. but it'll be almost 2 years by the time the fight happens. So we'll see how much work he's put in since then.

 

[spiderjericho]

Is 90 days good enough to lose 15 pounds and have a solid camp?

To quote DC, bring your wrestling shoes.

UFC definitely setting up a solid fall. Sad there’s no MSG card. And curious on that New Years Card. They’re usually stacked.

Minus whale just give the title to Oezdemir since he got robbed versus Reyes.

Whoever wins will only be keeping the title warm for Prochazka.
