Johnson is gonna put that white boy out violently :mjlol:
I'm hoping that will happen but Johnson plants his feet to throw those heavy hooks, and Gustafsson's lateral movement will kill it. That said, I would rather see Gus lose just so Rumble gets his shot.
Then Gus and Cormier should fight and see who gets next shot.
Or CM Punk :troll:

No real knock on Connor but its kinda sad how hard UFC has to hype up a dude ranked fifth in his weight class


They're building his brand I'm guessing. He won't be 5th ranked for long I guess, or so they see it.

On another note, I liked how he responded to comments comparing him to Ali. I say that especially so in light of his comments towads Aldo which can be construed as possibly racist, but definately nationalistic(I don't like that sh!t either). Ya know, "I don't know, I just seen his skinny Brazilian head", "
"I don't know, I just see a skinny little Brazilian," he said. "They all seem small to me. It's hard work making this weight, but I make it correct. I make it professionally. And when I'm in there against these people they're small. There is no pop. They seem timid. And so looking at [Aldo], he looked like a little skinny Brazilian from the favelas, that was it. Same as Diego [Brandao] looked, with a 12-year old boy body.So, I feel when we collide he will collapse."


I didn't like those comments, but I did like the respect he showed towards Ali. Seemed like it came from a genuine place.

"For me, Muhammad Ali is a special individual," McGregor said on ESPN's SportsCenter on Tuesday. "He is out on his own and I cannot lay claim to something like that. He changed the cultural landscape of the world. So, Muhammad Ali is a special human being. For people to say that, I am honored. But Ali is a special, special man. I am on my own journey and doing what I do best."


I like the way he worded that.

the only comparison between the two is that he swagger jacked Ali's match prediction gimmick

okay first of all. gustafson will run through Rumble. You see the promo pics. They lining these homies straight up nugget to nugget. In reality the Gus has a major height advantage and frankly, is more skilled that Rumble.

McGregor. Dudes on the come up but hes fought nothing but plugs and journeymen. fukk your Poirer. He stinks. Siver had no shot of doing anything against him.

I still see reach being a factor in the Aldo fight honestly. He has some decent boxing technique for a MMArtist. Really generates tons of power through the hips and shoulder when delivering the left.

I think Aldo is obviously a bit more adept at dodging that shyt than some Neo Nazi midget but Mcgregor still comes at some interesting angles, levels and combos.

I think this fight will be dictated by the Aldos leg kicks. That will really slow McGregor down.

Gus is going to use his footwork to avoid Rumble's power. I feel Gus is the better striker, although Rumble is more versatile (utilizing his hands and feet). Gus via UD.
