Essential The Official MMA Thread

[Roman Brady]

MMA hasn't been as exciting lately. Don't know it just feels like there was a lot more going on this time last year.

every so often there are times when I wonder if the current funk is the new normal then a card, new signee/fighter or division piques my interest. Not this time, there seems to be a malaise across the board. Seeing some real bad quality MMA with each org, It's like do these dudes even have conditioning coaches.

One of my biggest gripes though is the stagnation, ppl are winning titles then going radio silent. Everyone is either complaining, calling someone out, talking about jumping divisions, injured or just not defending.

Stipe won the title almost 1 year ago, only 1 defense, complaining about money. Cormier won almost 2 years ago 1 defense. Bisbing won last June has not/Will not defend against a legit contender till who knows. Conor essentially has free reign to halt the LW and FW division. Garbrandnt won the title and has just opted to get tats

There is just no progression in almost all divisions, makes the consumer feel

Gotta watch more then Bellator and UFC. Get FP or axxess and watch some regional shyt. Bellator is absolute shyt I don't remember the last time they've has a solid event. UFC has had some solid free cards like the Brazil one and KZ/Bermudez. But they just laid two out two shyt PPV cards in a row.

Can't really blame Garbrandt for the UFC deciding to do a TUF season with Dillashaw to lead up to that fight.

Had completely forgotten they are on TUF what a joke, the division and he were just picking up momentum too

This thread goes so slow at times but people say boxing is dying

 

[The Infamous]

Good move by Bellator. Both sports have similar demographics.

I'd normally wish this were a 5 rounder but you know this one ain't going the distance

Jones should fight Manuwa for his comeback fight. Manuwas looked good, only losing to the best. Would be a good sample to see how he'd handle Rumble.

Cerrones gonna retire after Robbie knocks him the fukk out, calling it now.

If you're Jones why would you wanna give Anthony a idea of your gameplan against big KO artists.

Mayweather VS McGregor is the real life Great White Hype :



Irish nonsense and everything . Only thing is Floyd's not washed up (just a little old).
