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

[Vincent Van Goat]

I need nick to come out of retirement and get revenge

 

[tiger energy]

So 171 will be Jones/Teixeira, Hendricks/Lawler, and he's trying to get Condit/? for #1 contender

Looks like it. Assuming jones won't postpone it, again.

Dana should bring in a 'brock lesnar' type fighter hahaha.

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

UFC 171 looks......

 

[smedroc]

GSP is my favorite fighter but i ain't even mad at this.

One of the most well rounded fighters ever and always conducted himself as a true martial artist and champion.

It was an honour to witness the riddum

 

[fraij da 5 11]

Lawler and Johnny is a great matchup.

So the belt is vacant until someone wins that one, right?

 

[jecca650]

Just like I posted in the other thread had a feeling Dana would give Robbie a title shot. Crazy to think Robbie could be the WW champ. Would of sounded more practical 10 yrs ago than today but dude kept grinding. Props to him.


Happy to see GSP vacate the belt. Obviously dudes head and heart arent in the game and MMA is one of those sports where you have to be fully committed mentally, physically and spiritually.

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Id be in complete shock if lawler beat Hendricks. I'd assume he'd be a heavy underdog

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

FYI: the jones glover fight has been moved to a new event-- UFC 172

 

[awwsome]

Nothing but respect for the God GSP, he dedicated enough of his life to the sport, time to ride off into the sunset and preserve your health.

Big Rig going to smash Robbie

 

[young dunny]

carlos will hold the strap by summer

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

I'm pulling for a Team Alpha Male sweep tomorrow

 

[thehealthinspector]

carlos will hold the strap by summer

NBK

 

[RustyShackleford]

carlos will hold the strap by summer

Big Rig gonna put ole boy to sleep #bleedat

Only chance he got is to get on his bike and try to score points

 

[T0INE]

Damn, guess GSP was serious about taking time off.

 

[smedroc]

Rory gotta be tight now.

He could have been fighting for the strap if he didn't ***** up against Robbie.

 

[champcruthik]

War TAM.

NBK can beat Robbie or Bigg Rigg.

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Rory needed a wake up call. Rory should be back if he gets hungry again. No reason to fret too much about what should be a minor set back. He realized that his approach wasn't doing him any favors

Prelims start in an hour...

 

[champcruthik]

Rematch with Condit for NBK for #1 contender.

Diaz deserves nothing.

 

[notoriouslar]

Riding with Team Alpha Male tonight and fellow New Englander J-Lau.

Have been working on final research papers all day, can't wait for the fights to start and crack some brews...

 

[champcruthik]

J-Lau earned my eternal respect after the Miller fight. Last 30 seconds.

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Rematch with Condit for NBK for #1 contender.

Diaz deserves nothing.

I would have preferred Hendricks v condit for the vacant belt, but since Dana put lawler in there he can't just leave condit inactive. I agree that Diaz doesn't deserve anything but to be honest that rematch would be awesome and there isn't another guy out there unless we wait for Matt brown

Look at bj penn getting another shot at Frankie for no apparent reason. At least we can all agree that the diaz condit fight was close. They definitely need to do a second fight sooner than later

 

[notoriouslar]

Just threw on FS1, Danny Castillo putting a beating on Barboza. Damn.

 

[shogun]

Barboza is a savage with those kicks. The spinning one to the midsection was brutal.

 

[shogun]

The guy fighting Court went to the same colleges I did. Kinda cool.

 

[notoriouslar]

Barboza is a savage with those kicks. The spinning one to the midsection was brutal.

Crazy how he recovered after the first. That spinning kick was fierce.
