Essential The Official MMA Thread

[Newzz]

@Newzz another breh to check for is Israel Adesanya, he's not in the UFC but he wants to be and he does kickboxing/boxing/MMA, he's fighting for a title in Glory Kickboxing next month. He grew up an Anderson Silva stan so he moves alot like him and got that swag to him.

Just added him to my MMA stable as well




Now all I need is 1 more fighter with top notch striking skills like Ngannou & Adesanya, and then I think Im good




good looking on this drop breh I was VERY tempted to take this into the OG Boxing thread







































But I don't need them stealing my fighters

So we sleeping on Jon Jones hand skills? (when he ain't fukin up)

I like JBJ and was a stan of him about 3-4 years ago.....but now? Nah. He doesn't possess the stand up striking skill Im looking for. I need someone with real HANDS, not bows.

What I've noticed from watching both sports you're gonna get sick at MMA boxing.... it's really one of the few reasons why Conor is in the position he is today because he has that basic boxing concept where 90% of the other fighters don't

Im cool with it, because I know it's a different sport. I watch UFC solely for entertainment, which it always comes thru for that. Im not here to debate styles or anything in depth, just want to watch & follow along as a blood-thirsty casual begging for KOs

@Newzz these dudes aren't black, but if you plan to watch UFC 207 next Friday you should definitely pay attention to the Dominick Cruz/Cody Garbrandt fight and the John Lineker/TJ Dillashaw fight.

Dominick Cruz is probably the most technical striker in MMA today. He puts on a masterclass of what MMA striking is suppose to look like whenever he enters the Octagon with his footwork, combinations, and movement.

Then you have Dillashaw who is basically a Great Value version of Cruz going against the most powerful puncher at his size in John Lineker. If you like striking that should be a great fight to watch, if Dillashaw doesn't rely on his wrestling.

I was literally just reading about this on twitter and then came back to the coli to this notification

And let me say something else. No racist, but I like to root for Black fighters because they look like me and typically have a similar understanding of my background. That's not to say I don't enjoy other fighters, because 5 years ago, my fav MMA fighters were:


Nick Diaz, Nate Diaz, Jon Jones, GSP, Rory McDonald, and Shane Carwin. It's just my #1 is always a Black fighter, but I enjoy watching anyone willing to enter the Octagon & risk it all to fight for my entertainment

Man, I didnt mean to leave this guy out from earlier, but if you want an Adrien Broner/ Anderson Silva showboat type of fighter who is a beast, the one to stan would be Bellator fighter Michael "Venom" Page. This dude put a dent in an opponents' (Cyborg's ex husband) forehead with a knee earlier this year, and might be the best precise striker right now. He is slowly stepping up in competition but is very good as well. Check out his highlights.

Yep.....that's him. That's the quality of fighter I need


I just watched his footage and


And he Fresh, Fly, and Flashy



When does he fight again? I'm definitely going to see him fight in 2017....I promise yall

Marc Diakiese, 2-0 in UFC, can get a bit wild but has big potential

Aldo vs. Khabib is a great fight on paper...but Aldo has to focus on being the guy @ FW again. I also respect Khabib's reaction to that proposed fight. But it's just not wise to make that fight right now. If Cucuy don't wanna fight Khabib, you got Barboza right there.

to UFC squeezing every possible penny out of ufc 206...hopefully they also squeeze in Lando's performance


Cyborg's probably gonna get 2 years....Dana may not wanna even fukk with her....that was a look of relief on his face in that TMZ video, IMO.

maybe that look means that Ronda's gonna stick around long enough to mix it up @ 145.

Brehs...who's the best black striker in the UFC?



I bought UFC 2 so that way I can talk more UFC in 2017 with at least the knowledge of who is who (right now, I maybe know 5-7 UFC fighters in total), but I need a fighter to stan...preferably one with great striking ability since Ima a Boxing Fanatic



Put me on to the best strikers brehs

Breh, sign up for UFC fight pass. It's free for 7 days but it's def worth the price. I binge watch fights all the time. They got all the fights from UFC, Pride, Strikeforce, WEC, and a bunch of other organizations. It's basically Netflix for MMA

I've got big expectations for this dude, he's gonna be a problem.

I've had him on my podcast he's a cool dude. His biggest critism is that he hasn't faced a top 5 opponent yet and he needs to be tested but he wants to take the scenic route
