Essential The Official MMA Thread

Once again, you are portraying JDS as some 4 fight losing by KO, he should think about retiring BJ penn getting smoked by Yair type.

his last 3 loses have had him asleep so a case could be made his chin is gone. And at the 211 pressers you telling me he did not appear as someone that was about to announce retirement? Come off it..

Hes only lost to the top elite. If Francis goes out and smokes him then yes we can discuss him in that way. But no hes still a top fighter in that division no matter what. You just don't get it. You never have and never will

my point was never about jnr not being able to compete it was more that given his recent record it does nothing for Francis. UFC making a title fight based on the result of that fight doesn't change the fact JDS has slept in 3 of his last losses and is fresh off a brutal one is the point you don't seem to understand..

Only been KO'd twice but good powerful strikers. Francis isn't at that level and this is the test for him. And he was clearly disappointment but never indicated retirement once. He even said he will get back training and continue. Keep up casual. Its interesting also advocate him fighting Struve, Werdum, Reem when they've been KO more times then JDS and are just a fight removed from getting slept by Stipe themselves. Keep exposing yourself

The post you consigned you clown calling ppl idiot and stupid like a kindagartener when you don't have basic reading comprehension and get lost so easily

Where did I say Francis was a draw?

if retirement wasn't the first thing swirling through your head during the pregnant pause to the reporter's question then you are just being intellectually dishonest. But you do have an attention deficit so who knows perhaps u couldn't process what u were watching

Keep up casual.

didn't I already say.....nvm

JDS-it's not just the KOs though he's been through some wars. Struve-the fight is a gimmie to build his name and get more octagon time. Reem/werdum - at least they have a win under their belt and after they fight one of em with have 2. A fight with ngannou gives him a legit rub cuz he would have beaten an ex champion that's a name with some actually forward progress. the fact that they lost to stipe is irrelevant no one is saying they should get a title shot. You love going on your little tangents

I don't know what drain you are about to stoop with another alternative fact but check post #32586 to jog your memory

So you are mind reader now? God this is too easy only reason why im still entertaining this. And let me get this straight by your own flawed twisted logic. JDS is washed according to you right. Francis would get no rub beating him. But Struve, a never was who always been getting flatlined even in his prime, builds his name? You are some kind of stupid you know that? And once again assumer, I've never said or insinuated werdum/reem winner gets a shot. But if its so wrong to fight JDS because if he wins hes not getting a shot, then why should Francis fight the winner of those two since they aren't either? And we are still ignoring the fact that Francis needs a fight and there is no one else available

I love how instead of quoting the post(which you been doing with your cute little multqoute breakdowns) you reference some count number. And why did you do that? Because theres no fukking post of me ever saying Francis is some draw FOH

 

[Roman Brady]

So you are mind reader now?

usually in sports it's quite common for athletes to retire after an emotional loss especially in their 30s it's not telepathy it's just common sense. Most "avid" sports fans would know that.

Francis would get no rub beating him. But Struve, a never was who always been getting flatlined even in his prime, builds his name? You are some kind of stupid

I am sure I said JDS could still compete but styles make fights and right now his confidence would be shattered as much as his chin. Getting a shot off a dude that would be 3-4 in his last 7 is kinda As ngannou is still a prospect he needs to have more headliner fights a fight with Struve fits the bill. And yes you can build a name off squashes, it creates mystique and an air of dominance which sells the fighter. I clearly stated Struve was a gimmie whilst JDS is being use as a springboard. One fighter has forward progress the other is coming off a brutal loss, it's not that difficult even for you is it?

you know that? And once again assumer, I've never said or insinuated werdum/reem winner gets a shot.

I think I touched on this already

I don't know how that is now the subject of debate, the genesis of the dudes post was that HWs shouldn't have to go on long streaks like other div because anything can happen. If they muster a couple wins the brass need to cash in whilst they are white hot rather than risk them losing to some Euro grappler or something to that effect.

Now you are harping on that u never said ngannou was a draw like some "ahaaaaa" moment

My God Im well aware of what athletes at a certain age do. JDS said he wanted to continue fighting. Not that he needs consult with family, coaches, etc and then make a decision. He said he going to continue. Thats fact. End of that discussion. So Struve is more of a headliner then JDS? See you are saying that JDS is washed and has no confidence? So if thats the case then he should be a gimme and squash? Contradictions all in your argument. Who do you think fans and the brass will be more impressed by? Francis KO'ing Struve or JDS? Nobody expects anything from Struve hes on no forward progression. He is nothing his best win was Stipe from what 6 years ago? JDS is still a former champ. Can't take that away. And his loses have only been to elite. Thats fact. See the thing is you are a casual but you tied yourself to this half cocked dumb argument to make yourself seem smarter then you actually are but you just look even more foolish

Because you claimed I said that! What does any of that other shyt mean in regards to the accusation you made of me? Do you legit suffer from dementia? Yea this has gone long enough now. I'll look forward to Francis getting his title shot if he beats Junior while you scoff on the sidelines like a weirdo and wonder when CM Punk is getting a fight

 

[Roman Brady]

My God Im well aware of what athletes at a certain age do. JDS said he wanted to continue fighting.

think I already explained the thought going through any sports fans head as he got emotional during the presser and paused at the reporters question of calling it a day or getting back on the horse right away. What actually happened is beside the point If your poor reading prevents you from understanding that I don't know what to tell you

Struve is more of a headliner then JDS?

See you are saying that JDS is washed and has no confidence? So if thats the case then he should be a gimme and squash?

I think I have already explained my gripe with this, I do not lije the wool being pulled over my eyes. And JDS deserves better. The proposed Struve fight is fine as Struve has never accomplished anything but to be someone's highlight reel.

Who do you think fans and the brass will be more impressed by? Francis KO'ing Struve or JDS? Nobody expects anything from Struve hes on no forward progression. He is nothing his best win was Stipe from what 6 years ago? JDS is still a former champ. Can't take that away. And his loses have only been to elite. Thats fact. See the thing is you are a casual but you tied yourself to this half cocked dumb argument to make yourself seem smarter then you actually are but you just look even more foolish

I don't know any die hard that would be impressed with seeing Francis KO JDS fresh off the heels of stipe.Gamers, noobs and casuals maybe but not purists. And forward progress in the sense he is coming off a win? kind of easy to make out both fighters have something to play for

 

[Roman Brady]

Because you claimed I said that!

quote where I said you called ngannou a "draw" why this is important I do not know

This has gone long enough now. I'll look forward to Francis getting his title shot if he beats Junior while you scoff on the sidelines like a weirdo and wonder when CM Punk is getting a fight

u are losing it..

 

[So UnThotful]

this back and forth

 

[LinusCaldwell]

I think if Aldo wins he should get an interim title shot at 155 against Tony and let Khabib get Conor... or something... I don't believe he should be fighting at 155 to prove himself dude would have literally swept through the whole 145 division. If Max wins and goes on to beat Edgar... he may need to think about moving up too cause he's cleared the division also. There should be a Aldo rematch tho if he happens to beat Aldo.
