Official UFC 173: Barao vs Dillashaw Thread

[The Infamous]

Their reign us nowhere near jones you fool he fought why more often which is why he is already close to anderson s record

You call me a terrible poster but yoy can never win against me

You were wrong about michael page when i said he would be the highlight of bellator ppv

You are wrong

Jones fought 4 times in a year before

As already defended is title twice in 6 months

You are mad because im right

 

[The Infamous]

this is PPV?

The card is decent:

Renan Barao (#1 ranked BW and top 3 P4P) vs. TJ Dillashaw (top 10 BW)
Daniel Cormier (top 5 HW) vs. Dan Henderson (top 10 LHW)
Robbie Lawler (top 3 WW) vs. Jake Ellenberger (top 10 WW)

 

[Master Teacher]

Just say uncle you guys are so sad every time i back you into corners with facts

 

[Roman Brady]

They dont defend it has often as jones which is why jones cleared out the division

There is no logical reason for Cormier not to have fought gus

When they both fighting push overs to get to the belt why can't you understand that

don't know the genesis of this discussion but I take umbrage with the bit in bold which many mma fans share. The fact is jones isn't the draw he's suppose to be. And the lhw division isn't poppin like it once did, they have to take a page out of the hw (way of matchmaking) and somewhat protect what little named contenders emerge from a division that's been ravaged

 

[The G.O.D II]

This card on paper is not good. fukk when's the last time we had a good UFC PPV? Nov? Anyway my picks

Perlims

Michaud UD
Scilia TKO rd 1
Nkojunai TKO rd1
Iquinta UD
Camus UD
Ferguson T KO rd 1
Chiesa Sub rd 1

Varner vs Krause

Varner looked shot in his last fight where he was gassed against Trujillo. Hes inconsistent. I got Krause by UD

Mizugaki vs Rivera

Should be a good fight. Both these guys are on win streaks and should get a title shot soon. Both are good strikers with Riveria having good KO power. I will take Mizugaki for the UD due to him being more technical with his striking

Lawler vs Ellenberger

Ellenberger is a gatekeeper and a choke artist. He cannot beat top competition. That fight with Rory last summer was embarrassing. Never seen a fighter completely freeze like that. Lawler has looked better then ever and would have the title if he didn't give up that TD in the last round against Hendricks. Hes got great boxing, power, TDD. Ellenberger is a typical wrestler who charges forward looking for the power shot. I think Lawler will counter him coming in for the TKO win rd 2

Cormier vs Hendo

And the downfall of this show begins. Hendo coming off two months fight, off TRT, and apparently struggling to make 205 (that web blog on youtube showed him at 194lb) He looked like shyt against shogun despite the lucky KO hook. So hes underweight and coming off TRT against a man whos not only bigger, but faster, has better hands, better footwork, better wrestling, etc. Cormier by UD if hes shows compassion for a man he respects or TKO rd2 if he wants to make a statement in regards to wanting a title shot.

Dillashaw vs Barao
Why is this even happening. Dillashaw is a solid fighter but he has no chance. Barao is just better in all aspects. Barao by TKO Rd1

This card is weak.

I dont understand why Jones and his fans can't comprehend this. This is not 09/10 where you had 4-5 guys you could rotate or matchup in the title picture. There are only two money fights at 205 now. The gus rematch and a Cormier fight. You dont cannibalize that by having them fight each other and eliminate a contender for Jones.

Everybody in Bellator are cans

Aoki had zero success in the UFC

Anderson Silva faced plenty of cans

any type of boxer with great foot work would beat the shyt outta of an MMA fighter (in an MMA fight)

Manny could retire from boxing and go get the UFC belt at 145 with no fukking problem.

MMA with the exception of about ten fighters is straight tough man fight club status

All true
Bellator is terrible
Aldo confirmed Manny would ve very tough for him to beat
Silca fought cans when he was in king of the cage he didnt start his career in ufc

Dillashaw vs Barao
Why is this even happening. Dillashaw is a solid fighter but he has no chance. Barao is just better in all aspects. Barao by TKO Rd1

There's no one else left, Barao has nearly cleared out his division. The only top fighters remaining are Assuncao and Dillashaw, Assuncao turned down a shot because of injury, so they gave it to Dillashaw.

Your the terrible poster, because you have the change the subject everytime you get proven wrong

besides all those quotes are true, but you can't just take a sentence out of paragraph without having context
your must be white, semantics 101

First of Bellator is full of cans the last ppv proved that
you just admitted in this thread, that UFC isn't deep with contenders, so what the fukk do you think bellator has

Aoki has had zero success in the UFC, didn't he get cut

Anderson Silva faced plenty of cans in King of the Cage and other promotions, most his wins are from outside the UFC, I was making the comparison because you said Michael Page is fighting cans, and I was letting you know he will continue to fight cans until he gets to the UFC

Any Boxer would great foot work would fukk up a boxer

and Manny could easily win the belt



Aldo says it would be very difficult to beat Mayweather or Manny, because he understands the problems footwork can give guys and he's one of the most skilled stand up guys in the game

and here's some tips, you can't explain anything or prove anything with smilies

get your weight up not your hate up

 

[bsmooth]

Dan Henderson weighed in at 199lbs

 

[The G.O.D II]

Dan Henderson weighed in at 199lbs

Dan Henderson the new Rich Franklin. That Lawler/Ellenberger face off was intense. I don't think Lawler appreciates the shyt hes been saying recently
