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

[gunna get it]

Gotta make your opponent miss before you can counter and showtime did none of that

His head movement was non existent and did he block a single left hand? Smh

Was Rda just that fast? *shrugs

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Pettis couldn't see out of his right eye after the first round

 

[thehealthinspector]

rda isnt fast, he just presses forward with a lot of force/power

his standup is probably what cowboy wishes his was like right now

 

[illphillip]

Y'all turned RDA into Barry Bonds after one fight

It's unfortunate but I'll be happy when the stricter testing is implemented 

 

[gunna get it]

All the more reason he should have been moving his head...

Lmaoo Dana take the blame for this one.

For all the lax testing, and held results, you kinda have to be suspicious when an overall jump in a veteran's fight game is made like this.

There were a lot of decencies tonight, along with leaving himself vulnerable for take downs. He was taken down by Gil as well. Footwork definitely was spotty

tbh Pettis kicks were super lethal and quick, RDA was just not human tonight

 

[daprescription]

Pettis is still my favorite fighter, but I have to run with AKA (San Jose) to get the job done. They should just schedule the fight instead of wasting everybody's time with the Cowboy match.

 

[dman14]

so RDA was fighting with a MCL injury and was thinking about pulling out a couple wks prior to the fight
mri tomorrow

 

[spiderjericho]

Is that code for upcoming commission suspension?

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Cujedo gonna be fighting on that Mexico City card, he speaks fluent Spanish. Hope he goes on a run, I would like to see a worthy opponent for DJ

I expect RDA to be out for a while. Not only is he injured but he's been fighting like CRAZY, 5 fights in 11 months 

 (Khabib, Benson, Nate and Pettis)

I would like to see Pettis go up against Michael Johnson if Benson doesn't get him

 

[g money 87]

So RDA knocked out Henderson, dominated Pettis and Diaz. Won a close decision against Cowboy which he woulda prob lost if it was 5 rds but Cowboy's not a top fighter....

 

[g money 87]

was it just me or did stout/pearson finish look identical to rampage/wand 3

 

[2pacalypsenow]

yea, duck and roll hook. All that momentum will deliver a nasty blow 

Finally watched the pettis fight, and man did he get his *** handed to him. His performance is up there with Dillashaw's. RDA came out the floodgates like a bull! Like instantly he went into pettis's face and dictated the fight there on. I understand Pettis is a good counter striker, however his movement showed no answer to RDA's gameplan nor did his movement look like the movement of a counter stiker. RDA gave him no room which left him flustered. I can see how people are getting the impression of PEDs, however just knowing how well you're doing against someone like pettis is enough motivation to continue such a performance. 

And also, Pettis didn't look in absolute shape. From my first impression, i knew he was gonna rely on his striking to end the fight early. I guess all that went out the window once RDA stuck to his face and smothered him. He made me a fan tonight and I'm looking forward to a khabib rematch. 

 

[DeadsetAce]

still got love for Pettis...but damn

 

[AZwildcats]

Wow Pettis got that work from Dos Anjos.

 

[jewseejay]

Never liked showtime butbyea hard not to be at least a LIL suspicious.

RDA done caught his stride. Hes like rumble but at 155. All of a sudden noone tryna see that man

 

[jaysfiend23]

Lmfao I'm glad im not the only one skeptical about the brazilian fighters too

Nonetheless rda worked pettis after the first round I knew he was done for

Lol at overeem and big country going the distance I swore it would be banging for a rd and half till Someone got knocked out

Esparza even said that her opponent prior to the fight was going to give her a hard time shocked both champs lost

My question is what do they do with all the wheaties boxes pettis is on lol

 

[6 Rings G.O.A.T.]

The two former champs got washed last night..

 

[smedroc]

It's sad but i've never been more suspicious of a dude then i have Dos Anjos. After the Khabib fight dude has been on some demi god ****.

He's got excellent technique which you cant deny but the endurance, strength, speed and ability to take a shot...

Pettis cracked him with a flush head kick and he didnt even blink :x

 

[smedroc]

You say the dumbest things 

How the hell was the RDA/Cowboy match a close decision

I posted the entire fight a few pages back, if you watch, come back with a straight face and say it was close, you should probably stop watching MMA

Cowboy will have all the chances in the world to prove he's a top fighter if he can beat Khabib

For now, he's gotten DESTROYED by Nate Diaz, Pettis, dominated by RDA and either drew with Benson or lost a third fight with Benson

Cowboy has definitely earned another #1 contender fight though. Anytime you go on a streak like he has you deserve a shot
