[Amare's Right Hook]

Yeah, but the fact that Wanderlei approached Barnett as the elevator doors are closing reinforces the Old Pride story told by former Pride Fighters that Charlie Barnett left hook him and knocked him out in the locker room.

Exactly

Do we really wanna see Connor vs aldo 2 tho?

I'm an aldo fan, but I keep lookin at this match up like Anderson vs Franklin. Franklin was mashing thru 185, no1 cld beat em till Anderson. The style match up just wasn't in rich's favor. And I think the same wit aldo vs Connor.

Franklin got his rematch and Anderson just mashed em again, was a waste of time. Franklin eventually went up in weight, and maybe aldo shld use this time 2 go up and get some other big money fights. Holloway even tho may be an exciting fight, it's not a big marquee $$ fight.

Or you could use the Junior vs Cain example...

UFC need to part ways with cyborg. She can't make 140, she can't fight Ronda, and nobody wants to fight her. Most of all, there's no 145 division.

The whole thing is retarded, because they have essentially created a 140 division for her (even though Dana keeps saying there won't be a new female division)...She is not a pretty white woman and that is a BIG reason why they are being so inconsiderate with her...

I think the UFC wants to see what happens with Ronda...They still want to market Ronda as the "baddest woman on the planet," and give her a legitimate excuse for ducking Cyborg (if she can't make weight at 135, then no fight)...

If Ronda gets destroyed by Nunes (which I doubt will happen), then they will be more open to Cyborg...

Damn BJJ is FOR REAL... If you can take a punch, then you putting anybody to sleep (who has no experience)

No way they would just hand her over to Coker and Bellator. She would get the Strikeforce star treatment all over again.

Joanna vs Karolina and Tate vs Pennington just added to UFC 205 along with Natal vs Boetsch

 

[curz]

Adding Joanna vs Karolina was smart

Anybody watching Invicta 19?

Best part of this video is that after dude went asleep, he still had the respect to get up and walk away. Bjj taught em enough respect to not punch or kick em with any cheap shots afterwards.

Aldo is a way greater fighter than Franklin would ever be. Horrible comparison Aldo has a legit chance of beating Conor

If Conor beats aldo again then it's a perfect example. We have to remember at the time Franklin was a champ that no1 was coming close to beating.

And even after he lost to Silva da 1at time he was beating all the new numbers contenders. His style just cldnt beat Anderson at that time.

Aldo's aggressive attacking vs Conor's counter boxing is just a match up in conors favour. Even the size advantage and taking shots from bigger guys in higher weight class.

Aldo also for a long time b4 Conor beat em was always rumored to be moving up in weight class. Not wanting to make that cut ne more. Lots of great fights for aldo at 155.

Like Ronda is ever coming back she's gonna postpone every fight then retire out of nowhere to focus on acting

Ronda is doing the smart thing, exhaust every money making opportunity for her outside the ring. When there's no more money trees to pick at then come back and get punched in the face for a living again.
