Essential The Official MMA Thread

Dude just fought. That turnaround time is crazy fast. They're going to have to get off this meathead shyt and take care of their guys if the sport is going to grow and thrive with any sort of longevity.

Dana is never gonna stop being a dumb meathead

 

[KamikazePilot]

Dana is cashing in on Derrick Lewis new popularity plus add in a title fight and since cormier is the overwhelming favorite and probably won't lose makes this a safe money making fight that will bring in a lot of views.

 

[Cheech&Chong]

DC was on the ufc night time show last week and was asked about a fight and he put his hand up and said he still couldn't make a fist and he wouldn't be fighting soon.


His hand is still fukked

 

[thenatural]

I guess they're banking on DC finishing him early because Lewis took some damn punishment versus Volkov. You don't want him to get tagged like that again for 5 rounds.

 

[newarkhiphop]

yea this Lewis fight is not a good look DC gonna dominate

 

[True Blue Moon]

It's so short-sighted just to juice up a November PPV. They're both hurt/injured. Cormier still has money fights with Brock and Jones around the corner, so if he gets caught slipping that hurts both of those. Black Beast JUST climbed out of the toilet with that wack Nngano fight, and with his recent spike in mainstream popularity, you can play that out a little longer. If DC merks him he's back to square one, whereas he can become the heavyweight attraction once DC retires.

And again, they're both hurt. UFC must be hurting for bread.

 

[DLo]

Damn they couldn't even let Lewis get his 15 minutes of fame before throwing him to the wolves. This will probably be his biggest payday so I'm not mad at Derrick for trying to get paid.

I think Tony Ferguson is a fav against Conor and almost even against Khabib. His slick style could give him fits.

Conor would ko him, too easy to hit

You have to be shytting me!

I don't see it.

 

[nyknick]

Well it was a miracle no one got injured for UFC 229 so someone had to drop eventually. These MMA dudes will never learn how to train for a fight

So Cormier doesn't want this fight, Lewis doesn't want this fight, fans don't want this fight but UFC will still go ahead with it

 

[BaggerofTea]

Not at all. El Cucuy has been in wars and been hurt badly and survived. Kevin Lee hurt him multiple times,

Conor couldn't KO him. Better chance of El Cucuy by 4th round submission.

Conor has never fought outside of khabib, someone with pace and durability like Ferguson.

TFerg enters the pocket with his head tee'd straight up in the air, Pettis dropped him and Pettis's hands aren't anything special at all, same with Kevin Lee, who also has shyt hands. The question would be could McGregor finish him since Ferguson has crazy recovery and knows how to tie folks up and then fukk them up when they dive in for the finish. just look at shyt like this, McGregor would fly Ferguson's dome with this lack of head movement and defense.
