[The G.O.D II]

Rory has the personality of a mass school shooter.

That bland fukker can fight
He'll be a problem if lawler wins
Dont think he'll get by big rigg

 

[The G.O.D II]

Hate to say it but Rory will have the belt in 2015. Hes a huge 170 and he probably has the best cage control/fighting at range in the UFC outside of Jones. Boxing and footwork looked much better too.

He will only be champ if they frame lawler for domestic violence

Can't see him getting by Hendricks. He can't out wrestle him and big rig won't sit ideally while Rory jabs him to death.

Naw. Lawler couldn't even beat Hendricks when his triceps was torn and barely used his wrestling. And the first Lawler/Rory fight was close. Rory was actually winning before he foolishly got into a slugfest and almost got finished late

Hendricks is not exceptionally fast nor does he have good footwork. I could easily see him keeping him at distance with the jabs/front kicks. Hendricks would have to use his offensive wrestling more then ever if he wants to win

I just think Hendricks will eat some to get inside and pressure him hard and either take him down or hit him with a bomb.

Nope i had lawler winning and the only reason it was close was because lawler was tentative. Now knowing he can easily hurt rory and can bypass his reach the rematch will end with a tko stoppage.

He wants a fight with a ranked guy so bad

Did you see that fight? He didn't bypass his reach. He tried to exchange in the pocket late and got dropped. Very close fight that could have gone either way. I still think Rory fights smart and wins any rematch against Lawler

I saw the fight when it happened. Robbie was tentative, i'll have to rewatch though since it's been a while. I'm not saying it was a landslide but i had robbie winning up til that point.

Just rewatched the Blachovich Latifi fight. When Blachovich landed that body kick, his face changed. He instantly stalked Latifi and licked his lips, and fired off that head kick that began the end.
Polish fury

 

[puppetmaster]

Rory is an awkward cat for real makes me think of the shyt Doakes used to say about Dexter

Sgt. James Doakes: You don't even walk like a normal person. You glide, like a fukking lizard on ice.

It really does feel like he's gonna somehow end up with that belt in 2015
