Conor wilding

Conor was gone off that Proper 12

Conor disrespecting Tenshin like Tenshin wouldn't melt him in a straight up stand up fight with all limbs allowed. Tenshin is everything and more that Conor thinks he is as a striker.

Conor not taking that L very well I see. My man still getting drunk off that McWhiskey

Ben Askren vs. Robbie Lawler in the works for UFC 233 in Anaheim

I know Robbie been looking washed in his last two fights, but I hope he beats the shyt out of Askren

 

[ChuckTaylor84]

That's an ugly fight for Lawler

That's an ugly fight for Lawler

At least Lawler won't be hurt badly. I expect Askren to just take him down with a double leg, hit him with a bunch of soft punches to the side of the head and that'll be it

That's an ugly fight for Lawler

Robbie can hold is own wrestling. I give him a slight edge cause of his hands

Good ol' UFC matching promising up and coming prospects vs. each other as quickly as possible instead of taking the effort to promote and bring up both concurrently

Coulda made 2 separate great fights for these guys with Romero vs. Costa and Adesanya vs. Rockhold but now we gotta watch one of these young undefeated studs completely halt the momentum of the other because the UFC still has no idea how to develop prospects if they aren't all-time transcendent talents like Jon Jones. Maybe they'll at least give Jacare the chance to avenge that BS decision loss vs. Romero if this is what they're going with; I'd rather see him take time to recover then fight for the title next spring but lord knows Dana never gives decorated Brazilian grapplers title shots until he's exhausted every imaginable matchup for them.

Nah, fukk that. Let them fight. This is one thing MMA has over boxing. I don’t need fights “simmering” for 5 years.

 

[Strapped]

I hope costa is well oxygenated for that work

 

[jackswstd]

Izzy gon wreck Paulo. This is a great match up, Rockhold is always hurt and Yoel could rematch Jacare. Paulo better try to get him early or his gas tank will be on E quick.
