Essential The Official MMA Thread

Souza on Silva getting a titleshot before him:

- That does not worry me one bit, because not walk worried about these things.I worry about other things. That's what worries me less.I am a Christian man and I will not worry about things in life.It really can happen and if it happens, is because it was God's permission.If it happens, I'll cheer for Anderson.Speak not bother, would be a lie. But it is not something that would make me very angry not - said the fighter XGym.

On the belt:

- Writhe for Belfort. We need the belt and the faster it comes to Brazil, the better.But I think that will fight hard for it. The Weidman has youth, strength and confidence champion there. This can complicate the Victor, but Victor has history and his star shines on time.I'm rooting for her to shine on 28 February. It may surprise anyone in MMA. I'll be ready to fight either one and I believe I can win both - analyzed.

On Romero:

You have to ask him what strategy because I will complicate his life in every way. If he wants to grab me, will go wrong. If you go to the ground, I will finish.I'm sharpening jiu-jitsu, my falls and takedown defense. Will certainly be a very good fight for the fans.I have to take care of everything. He is a very strong athlete, explosive and have to be careful with the strength and wrestling with his first line. He is an athlete that makes me stay connected and get prepared - finished.

[The G.O.D II]

Machida used to fight at heavy weight years ago. As far as glover they both would be standing swinging at each other

Machida fought once at HW where he was a bloated soft mess and couldn't KO Penn, a LW. He was a small 205lb hence why hes at MW (and looks small there even) Same with glover. And his chin has been tested by rampage, Maldonado, and Bader. JDS would murder both those guys.

But the fight will be at HW. And its always questions for someone changing divisions for the first time. We dont know what shape will Jon Jones be in. Will the extra weight be muscle or fat? Will the weight affect his cardio. Plus he doesnt have KO power so thats out the question. We know what Cain will do. Stalk jones up against the fence. Difference between Cain and DC is in addition to Cain having better crisp boxing, he wont get tired. I find it difficult to see Jones beating cain. Oh yea, JDS is better then anyone Jones has faced and Cain demolished him twice

Cain wrestle bullies his opponents. That shyt won't fly against Jones. Cain outlasts his opponents. He won't outlast Bones. Cain has a suspect chin so one elbow and it might be night night.

It will be a close fight but Cain ain't winning it.

I'm not even going to address the JDS comment.

I never claimed DC was going to win. You can go ahead and look up my posts about the match-up. After what has come to light about Jones, it's looking like he's been cheating for some time so he might not have been as naturally gifted as we all thought.

Nothing has come to light. It's just haters going wild with speculation.

You mean when he was on that yayo ?

Is that your excuse now?

Cain does not have a suspect chin. He was rocked by Kongo, JDS landed a perfect punch that would've had any man kissing canvas. Jones doesn't have one shot KO power like that.

So jds is legitimately better than everyone in 205 in your opinion. Who can ko b j penn? Glover is decent for 205. To go against jds it would need to be a catch weight. You sipping too much of that joe rogan kool aid if you think cigano is running through the 205's like that. Cigano gets way too predictable and his gas tank is so so. Dude takes punishment like frank Edgar tho.

I never got where "Cain is chinny" comes from.


He's hittable for sure because he'll take one to dish one or to get ahold of you but he's not chinny. Overeem is chinny

From GnP. He caught Evans and Gus standing and they made it.

An excuse is something that isn't true.

Cain's chin suspect? Jones KOing Cain? Jones stans are funny & delusional.

What is this stupid catchweight shyt you keep babbling about? JDS is a natural HW, not Rich Franklin. If a fight happens, its Glover moving up to HW. Same with any LHW. And none if them can handle JDS power. Did Stipe/Maldando not show you anything? I told you earlier you have no idea what you are talking about

What? Did you not see the fight sat. DC was able to back Jones down and push him against the cage in the early rounds. Jones doesn't have exceptionally quick feet and his striking will not scare Cain at all. Cain won't outlast Bones? I would take Cain's cardio over most WW. And back to this suspect chin shyt again. He got clipped behind the ear on one leg and a torn shoulder. The fact that you think Jones, who doesn't have any KO win, will do it to a HW is laughable. And look at it this way. No one is beating JDS at HW outside Cain. No one is demolishing JDS in the HW division outside Cain. I can't say the same with Jones opponents. None of them are beating him, but they will all beat each other

I really hate when post fight discussion with a fighter coming off a big win. Cats lose their mind with some of these post

Silva cited Phil “CM Punk” Brooks as an example of what he indicated was lax enforcement on the part of the NSAC, pointing out he has never competed as a professional.

“Did this guy ever compete? Did he ever get punched in the head? Did he ever compete in anything? No? Then it’s dangerous to put him inside the cage against a professional fighter,” Silva said. “If he takes a blow to the head and dies, what will the commission then say? Sorry?”

The now-retired fighter ended with an ominous message for the commission.

“This is a mess, and we’re watching you,” he said.

Somebody needs to give Wandy a TV gig, this dude is gold

Dana & the NSAC are like...
