Finally caught Joanna's fight. Her muay thai is so good. The way she mixes up highs and lows in her combos :whew: Love how she uses the complete MT toolbox at varying ranges. Even teeps.:xohh: Penne had no idea where the next strike was coming. If you do MT there's a lot to learn in this fight

It's a toss up as to whether Yoel can catch up with Machida's footwork. Romero's got power but his gas tank is pretty bad. Lyoto can prolly gas him by the 2nd fighting his usual way so I'll give him the nod off the strength of that.

Yeah Yoel has no cardio. None. But it might not matter with the way Lyoto fights. If it goes the distance, Lyoto has the advantage. Yoel be dead after 2 1/2 rounds :dead:

Hope she don't POP positive for anything

I think she's clean. Gadelha on the other hand, don't be shocked if she looks different after random testing starts.

"Yoel has no cardio" :rolleyes:
Where do people get this? Cause he's muscular and Joe Rogan won't stop going on and on about how he's gonna gas in his fights? How can a guy with no cardio put together flurries like this in the 3rd round of fights?

Or like the one he used to finish Kennedy (that I can't find a gif of)? Blah, blah, blah, extra time on the stool, etc. If his cardio is so shyt a few extra seconds on the stool shouldn't make him magically recover. Not that it matters, Machida pushes no pace whatsoever

:dead: like I said, it might not matter with the way Machida fights. But you the only nikka tryna front like Yoel got cardio. You can watch any of his fights and see how he slows down, be breathing, etc. and stoolgate was real. Although I applaud stoogate, that shyt had me weak :dead:

I think Yoel has more than a good chance to beat Lyoto. Only Jones and Phil took him down at LHW but at MW he doesn't have the same TDD. If Yoel can get him to the ground and drop some heavy GnP :lupe:

Finally got around to watching that last bellator card. Man some good fights, so em bad ones and some nice optics as well.

But sadly I left with a bad taste in my mouth. I use to have a high level of respect for Coker for what he has done in Mia, but this card Coker jus looked like a cheap $5 whore. By this I mean, his marketing strategy with Bellator right now seems like he's willing to do anything and everything that UFC won't do right now. U want freak shows no1 wants to see here take Kimbo vs old man shamrock. U want old has been 's here take Newton (dis guy shld be honoured not fighting still). U want 4 man tournaments in 1 night take it. U wanna see wwf not WWE road warrior hawk or animal wha ever his name is doing walk outs here take it. Jus left me feelin dirty.

Sadly, some of da optics I liked though. Like bringing out the fighters and announcing the next card live, the video screen and lights for the walk outs were a nice touch for TV. I usually only notice that when I'm watching live.

:dwillhuh:
... I believe the fight won't go the distance. I believe Aldo will finish him. The beast never left he has just faced stiffer opponents. So do you believe it will go the distance?
We all know Aldo is amazing and a tru champ, the problem with Aldo now compared to his pre we champ self is mainly age and ring time is starting to creep up on him. Also with each fight you can see that weight cut is taking a bigger toll on his body. He shldve moved up in weight years ago. He wldve had an easier camp and regain his speed against slightly bigger competition.

I agree with everything you're saying plus he's just facing better fighters.
