[trick]

Technique ain't great but Ruth got some heavy ass hands, those last 2 punches were thudding.

He didn't even bother tucking his chin. He has a lot of power. Hopefully they continue building him and then give him real competition in a year or two

Bader pounded out Vassell in the 2nd- not sure who he fights next though.

MacFarlane could have rode out a decision, but she got the sub in the 5th

All you bozos who make a fuss whenever UFC let’s someone goto Bellator. They’ve got a card tonight with both Bader and Davis on it and I haven’t heard a fukking thing about it atall.

Probably gonna do same numbers as the Mousasi card

Only fighter of value UFC has lost is Rory

Look at who they were matched with though, neither fight was even remotely interesting to me. I tuned in for the female strawweights and that tenth planet rubber guard submission game from Ilima-Lei though. That sub was pretty

NYC heads, meet and greet lines aren’t bad yet. I’m lined up for Robert Whitaker right now. They got a bunch of booths outside the garden.

Who do you expect them to be matched with? Chael? King mo?

Bellator ain’t doing shyt

 

[Strapped]

So we might get a gsp vs silva

 

[The axe murderer]

gsp was impressive for a 4 year layoff. Middleweight has some heavy hitters though. Would be interesting to see how he would fare against the bigger guys who could grapple and the heavy hitters at MW. But not sure how long he wants to fight for.

It was impressive but I wish ppl would. on the GOAT talk until he actually "defends" against a real killer. Its like everyone suddenly wanting to have a dream fight with the MW champion (ever since bisbing won it) misses ppl. Its like Bisbing halting the div to face anyone that isn't in the top 10 just so to hold on to the belt misses ppl. These things matter, bisbing isn't good at anything but taking damage and having good cardio

 

[No Ma’am]

Cruz/Dillashaw 2 ?

 

[aceboon]

Stylistically a dope matchup

 

[Roman Brady]

Probably never happens due to injury but should be decisive win for thompson

 

[jackswstd]

If Till can win decisively it all but guarantees he'll have the next shot at Woodley no matter the outcome of Lawler vs RDA
