Two Titles - UFC 187: Johnson vs Cormier & Weidman vs Belfort Thread [May 23]

[Roman Brady]

How can DC beat a man who is not currently an active fighter?

stopped read here, he had his chance to beat him and he clearly loss. The lhw division and title has just been rendered useless

@luckyse7enz @JahFocus CS I see yall brehs.

 

[Roman Brady]

What was he supposed to do?

act like you have been there before? he's basically parading like he just won the lottery, actions not really befitting of the humble "aww shucks just happy to be here" character he portrays. Actions surely not appropriate considering said fighter did not beat the baddest man in the world to get that title

 

[LinusCaldwell]

Cormier now will have the same critism weidman has been getting. I can't wait to hear his analysts now on fox. He's probably gonna be having everyone eating out of his hands since he's a champion now.

He just took the best that the #1 LHW contender had to offer and just ate it. He then proceeded to just completely break that fighter and submit him. Of course he's going to be ecstatic. And Rumble ain't no joke, he's an absolute monster. For DC to beat him like that was a very impressive achievement. He battled through adversity and came out on top. He has the right to feel good about himself imo

And this is not even his true weight class for him holding his own against rumble which is arguably the scariest fighter in the UFC when it comes to stand up. He is gonna eat in the HW if Cain loses.

[joeychizzle]

you think a true competitor wouldn't have preferred to IDK actually beat the champ to win the title

fukking dumbass
if you're stripped, you ain't the champ
what the fukk do you think vacant means?

stop trying to compete with master teacher for dumbest poster in the ring.
actually you got competition.. levraipapi is gaining on you FAST

 

[jackswstd]

I ain't talking about the fight with AJ, I am talking about the circumstances that led to him being slotted in a title after just coming off a thorough loss in one

That's not his fault. He was the best available option, who else were they supposed to put in there Bader

 

[iFightSeagullsForBread]

Weidman is seriously just beating dudes past their prime it feels like.

but they still giving his "all-american" ass some heat through.

 

[LinusCaldwell]

Jon jones should get a dre beats commercial the heel turn would be so

 

[Lazy Migrant]

It took you till 2015 to realize that? You a noob?

Ive been on the fence about it because of how many wrestlers still take L's, and the success of MMA fighters without wrestling backrounds still competing from Machida to Connor McGregor and Jose Aldo.

the ones that have always succeeded the most have been the ones who can pair their wrestling prowess with other aspects, especially these days. you can't come in and just be really good at ONE Martial Art anymore, doesn't matter if it's BJJ or Muay Thai or Wrestling or whatever. the guys who are the best have a super strong base in at least one MA but they have worked their ass off to get bloody good at the other aspects of the game.

the wrestlers who have had lots of success have built up their striking and they use their wrestling to hold the guy down & beat the shyt out of him. a lot of the best strikers have worked in their takedown defense so they can stay on their feet & impose their own game. some wrestling guys have worked hard on BJJ & use their wrestling to get their opp down & pressure them into making stupid mistakes where they can slip in a submission.

wrestling has always been the biggest aspect because it means you can control where you want to take the fight. wear him down, let him back up & smash on him to show off your strikes, take him down & submit him.

when Wrestlers don't do well it's because all they do is take someone down and lie on them. they don't try to ground & pound they don't know enough to go for submissions and the fight is boring because nothing happens.

 

[Roid Jones]

Bader trying to generate controversy to make himself look like a legit contender and get people interested in the fight

Don't blame him gotta get your name out there, even though I don't think he should be anywhere near the belt

 

[Perfectson]

Weidman is seriously just beating dudes past their prime it feels like.

but they still giving his "all-american" ass some heat through.

who else is he suppose to fight? I'm giving him his due, his a huge middle weight and he'd probaby GnP any one in the division
