Essential The Official MMA Thread

For some strange reason I am like feels like a zero sum game for aldo, for all intents and purposes his job at FW should really be done. If he beats max then what? Just move up to lw already, dude has been flirting with the idea since Pettis was champion ffs

No doubt but that's such a long shelf time. I hope he wins and moves up no need to keep the belt?

I guess Misha's headed to Bellator

Thought you meant miesha, she might not be fighting anymore but I can live with her appearances on Fs1.

Most ppl didn't really know misha until he became a free agent I don't know if that's his fault or the UFC's but it's amazing the talent UFC are just letting walk these days. That could have been fodder for jones/DC/AJ sometime next year



Ps does anyone know why waterson had an open workout and media scrum when she's not fighting on 208?

Seems like she's getting a star push between the documentary, being on the FS1 panel last event and the workout/scrum. Figure the top 3 in the division lost to JJ already; Andrade probably has next and then I'd put Rose, Tecia and Waterson on a similar tier right now. If Waterson beats a top opponent, I could see a fast track to a title shot.

Interesting

I can't call it love both these fighters. If rose wins that would be great but she still would have to be more fluid in her stand up. I can see waterson playing the distance game and using kicks and jabs so rose doesn't try to clinch and make it a grapple jujitsu match. She def wants to keep it standing

I think Waterson can hold her on, in the grappling department as well.

First time UFC is coming to KC, definitely going to try and get tickets.

Bisping might low-key be the king of getting under his opponent's skin. He's up there with Conor and the Diaz bros for that crown.

Not really.

He just talks hella shyt while being totally beatable so everyone feel obliged to respond. Especially yoel in this situation.

If anything Yoel's response just shows you how hip he is to bisping's game

How is Bispring totally beatable? Look at his record dude, you basically HAVE to finish him or he will dance and jab the fukk outta you and get a decision. Bispring aint new to this, he's true to this. Theres nothing "totally beatable" about guys like that. He also has probably the best chin in that division and hes on a pretty nice streak. This aint a easy fight for Yoel atall
