3/6/2021 UFC 259: Polish Power vs StyleBender/ Nunes vs Jobber/ No Mercy vs Funkmaster

[Master Teacher]

nah ... UFC been hot for the most part. their PPV numbers and television ratings are great.

their biggest problem is their obsession with hyping up undeserving, double digit loss fighters to headline their cards .... like, no one wants to watch some dude who has 14 losses on his record headline a main event (talking about Masvidal, Cowboy, Anthony Smith, Diaz, etc.)

What numbers, they never release only talk about them

UFC doesn't have any stars, because they don't know how to build fighters

Mcgregor was their last hope and even his fight with Dustin had none of the fanfare has past Mcgregor outings

Jones has never been a draw his entire career, you had three title fights on one card, you would think it would be the biggest UFC ppv ever lmao

Imagine if Canelo fought Caleb Plant, with Charlo against Benavdiez, and Spence vs Crawford, all on the came card lmao, that shyt would do 10 million pay per views at 100 bucks

UFC is done they hit a lick on ESPN

He just hasn't looked good lately, and he seems to have come off steroids given he seems much less explosive than he did before. Jones is also extremely unlikeable and a genuine c00n so some of that is wishful thinking (that word gets used too often on this forum, but Jones is literally a white-loving hater of other Black greats, and a quintessential token negro).

Jones right now would wipe the mats with Blachowicz and yes, Izzy, in that light HW division.

right, as great as he is he is equally unlikeable.

UFC champ but constant IRL fukkery. hit and running pregnant bytches. what a repugnant man. nikkas a legit sociopath

 

[O.T.I.S.]

Jones does not exchange in the pocket, and is not a good boxer nor a hard hitter. He would likewise fear the power.

Jones dominates Jan brody... Jan did what he did because Izzy was much lighter in the ass. Weightclasses are there for a reason unless you are some “once in a lifetime” type nikka.

Izzy proved he is NOT that but nothing is wrong with that either. UFC weightclasses are wild af compared to boxing.

Im glad I didn’t bet on this fight. Homie at the bar had put $200 on the whiteboy and if I had seen Izzy consistently at Light Heavyweight in the UFC, I would’ve took it.

But I hadn’t and I was right. They wre pretty much even in skill with Izzy probably being a slightly better striker (I say that because he got tagged A LOT) but to be getting tagged a lot by a bigger guy, taken down multiple times, etc... He lost this fight convincingly and shouldn’t even mention JJ at all at this point.


Jones is taking his time going to Heavyweight but will still wreck anything at LHW.

I did actually think the Yan Sterling fight was pretty good till homie went full retard

the other fights though ehhh, kind of hit or miss.

the above card for boxing you are basically guaranteed your "moneys worth" so I get what you're saying though.

Damn...adesanya lost? Gonna try to find a replay. I knew it was a matter of time tho.

 

[Lavish]

When people mention Jon Jones, its clear they are thinking prime Jon Jones.. they don't realize he's much slower and less explosive in 2021. He is the goat no doubt in his prime no one was coming close to fukking with him. But his last 2 fights shows he's been progressively getting worse and both were over a year ago.

Also fukk all that “bu bu bu but Reyes”

A win is a win and Reyes lost all that good will and benefit of doubt the moment he fumbled the bag and caught that TKO from Jan

 

[010101]

Izzy wins on the feet/Jones wins on the ground

he can't starch bones so i really don't see him keeping himself from getting bullied*

I think izzy striking was a lot better...he just had zero power to actually KO him at that weight. Ironically for all this talk of polish power he ate all them shyts Jan threw and neither really hurt each other.

 

[hazardous]

I'm curious to see where Jones goes if he truly wants to continue at HW or just hopes to win the belt as a one off then move back down to LHW

Hopefully that Jones/Adesanya fight does still happen down the line, but seeing how easily Israel got controlled, doubt it does

Jon will attack what he deems your weakness, but he's mastered the clinch in particular and I feel he'd be able to dominate anybody there due to his length.

I highly doubt Jones wipes Jan out that easily. It seems he's constantly underestimated. Jones would probably win a decision that looks more or less like Izzy's performance tonight minus any meaningful grappling exchanges. I agree Izzy definitely has to gain weight to have a meaningful impact on this division, he was completely shut down in the grappling and was getting worked in the 5th.

That fight was trash, Aljo got zero defense, slow ass punches, slow ass uncoordinated spin moves, Yan covering up for no reason while this nikka throwing this slow ass punches not even bringing his hand back he could easily countered this nikka if his hands was covering his face and he could see
