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

[Vincent Van Goat]

Dude has to have some degree of brain damage with that many fights. Not to mention all the training in between 

Only matches I'm semi interested in are Porier and the Meat Head/Rothwell matches

 

[phillyzphan]

Looks like we're getting Cormier vs Gus next for the 205 belt.

 

[jaysfiend23]

Yea I saw that on ufc tonight, wonder if Gus is gunna show up unlike the rumble fight

 

[spiderjericho]

Gus coming off of a brutal loss. It makes sense from a money stand point. I'm not a fan of Bader's but at least he's on a win streak.

 

[blackcease]

Wtf? Gus just got handled in one round, the hell is he getting a title shot for?

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Does it really matter that Bader is getting skipped 

 the 205 division is crap anyway

Much more interesting news is that Weidman will get Rockhold next 

 that's the fight right there

 

[fortybeforefive]

Bader got shafted but at least Rockhold is gonna get his chance.

 

[carver]

Gus has a better shot than Bader. Glad they skipped him he would get washed so quick.

Weidman and rockhold should be a good one

 

[blackcease]

I'm not saying Bader is the best matchup but he is in the front of the line. Give the dude Bader his shot, they already got some heat, maybe he can prove himself but if not then Cormier gets a squash match, Gus can go win a fight, and if Jones ain't back yet then Gus can get a shot later.

I mean I just don't agree with the concept of a dude that just got beat like he stole something getting put straight into a title fight , but hey, that's just me.

No you're right, it's just that the division is rubbish right now at the moment. Bader deserves it and Gus has no reason to fight for the title 

 

[blackcease]

Yeah I guess the division is so wack it almost doesn't matter but I mean damn, at least let the dude get a win in first.

But yeah at least they got Weidman Rockhold right, that fight is gonna be crazy.

 

[RustyShackleford]

205 is bunz right now, so I not eem mind that a dude that got washed last time out is getting a shot

 

[smedroc]

Bader

I think Gus DC will be a way better fight though. And my son Rockhold getting a shot was a no brainer.

Dont let your chick watch

 

[2pacalypsenow]

We got to remember tho Gus gave jones his toughest fight regardless if jones had a ****** camp. I'm not too mad he gets the next shot, I couldn't see Bader in the title picture but that's just my honest opinion. 

Rockhold is my boy now that ViTRTor is off the TRT, I'm in the bandwagon 

And who allowed Machida to fight so soon after that demolition he experienced? He was literally walking on ice coming into that 2nd rd. Not a smart move for him to fight so soon especially against Romero 

 

[P A Z]

I doubt Gus gives DC any trouble. He's got better striking, but DC's wrestling will neutralize that . I've only seen DC in danger once and that was when Rumble hit him with that missile in the first round. Stylistically this should be a showcase match for DC as champ because the UFC will be able to play up the "look what he did to the guy who some say beat Jon Jones".

 

[blackcease]

^I think so too. I still kinda think Gus partially caught Jones off guard because if anybody remembers, around that time nobody was giving Gus even the slightest chance. It was almost TJ Dillashaw Renan Barao level surprise. Cormier is gonna be drilling his offensive wrestling crazy and I think he takes Gus out similar to how he took out AJ, definitely should be a showcase fight.

 

[spiderjericho]

Jones said he didn't take Gus seriously during that training camp. His interviews had him appearing to look past Gustafson.

I think the reason he wanted Gus to beat Johnson was so that he could silence all the folks he who think Gustafson has his number.

Honestly, after seeing what Jones did against DC, I just can't see Rumble or Gus having much for Jones.

 

[illphillip]

I don't even like Bader, but he should have gotten that shot.

Highlight of Gus' career right now is losing to Jones in a tough fight. He doesn't have many quality wins outside of that.

Rumble vs. Bader

 

[smedroc]

Rumble smokes Bader and then he'll fade back into obscurity. Poor bastard.

 

[illphillip]

When I was typing that, I literally said in my head "let's get this charade over with"

New series on FS1.

UFC Training Day

First episode is AKA. This Sunday 5:30pm EST.

 

[thehealthinspector]

205 used to be right there with 155 and 170

 

[flyknitlvr]

Cormier vs. Bader would sell literally 0 PPVs.

 

[g money 87]

Cormier vs. Bader would sell literally 0 PPVs.

They have an angle there to play off of. Nothing there with gus

 

[bartleby929]

They have an angle there to play off of. Nothing there with gus

gus looks the part and outside of getting mauled by anthony johnson has been pretty dominate. 

bader's been finished by glover, tito, machida, and jones.

no angle would have played that one off.
