Did that flying knee Romero hit on Weidman remind anyone else of this?
He was the GOAT
If Khabib does not focus on raw brazillian jiujitsu on its purest form he will get his head buss like he almost did in the first round

Let's not start saying Woodley is anywhere near Nate's level boxing wise, which would be the only reason he'd have to improve his defense to beat Woodley.
His defense is already good, otherwise he'd have went down in the second fight with Nate.
Woodley has the same reach same height as Conor, I just don't see him establishing any kind of control on the feet.

reminded me of the knee he landed in his first UFC fightsDid that flying knee Romero hit on Weidman remind anyone else of this?
The fighter makes the style.friend, what do you have to say about this shirt?
Eastern Europeans are tough as nails though.
I respect his opinion but it's the heart and work ethic of the fighter.
He's repping his country though. Can't be mad at it
McGregor is my #1 p4p fighter in MMA....
YES....several other MMA fighters could've held 2 titles at once...YES he hasn't defended his FW title....and YES he didn't win a single fight @ 55 in the UFC b/f getting fights with RDA and Eddie.........IT DOESN'T MATTER. He's defeated: Max Holloway(with a torn ACL)...Dustin Poirier...Chad Mendes(possibly while on roids)...Jose Aldo(GOAT FW champion)....Nate Diaz(current #4 lightweight in the world and a successful welterweight) and Eddie Alvarez(Lightweight Champion of the world who was gonna be the fighter of the year, if he won) all over the span of 3 different weight classes....arguably the 3 best weight classes in the sport....his current run is only trumped historically by Silva...who has, at least, 1 top 10 win in 3 different weight classes. This breh is already top 10 all-time. McGregor-Diaz 3 @ the Barclays for the title is MAMMOTH but that's probably too soon to promote. I got Conor favored strongly over Ferg and slightly favored over Khabib on some 55/45% type sh!t.
I actually had WB winning 48-47.....he won 2, 3, and 5 and I didn't give T-Wood any 10-8's for rd1 and rd4. I can live with the draw, though. If they don't wanna give Maia the next title shot, do the rematch when they're both healthy.
KK tried her best but other than the 4th...JJ just controlled all the action...hotshot Andrade to a title shot and give KK fringe top 10 fighters and hope the UFC can get to Poland before 1 of these girls lose.
Is Luke-Jacare called off for good or have they been rescheduled? I feel bad for Jacare but, I think it's Yoel's time...they've already gotten the ball rolling with the Bisping-Yoel interaction...I actually feel lie Yoel only has a slight advantage here. He's older, has worse cardio and almost as chinny. Would love to see him win it, though. Chris needs to take like a year off....not a fan, at all but....he needs like a year off. He's taken 2 life-altering ass whoopings within a 5-month span...not good.

Nate's boxing is severely overrated
Nate doesn't have any leverage behind of his punches which is why he didn't knock Conor out
Nate isn't on woodley's level as a fighter period
Conor doesn't have any defense, he relies on his reach to keep him out of arms way, which is why he kept getting hit by nate
Conor can punch he can't box
he doesn't have good defense so you don't have to be a good boxer to get to him
I don't remember him almost getting hurt in the first round at all.
I remember him very deliberately keeping his hand up by his face to avoid getting his head busted

and it's still way better than Woodley's.
at jab distance he dodged most of Nate's punches, and I doubt Woodley would have a lot of occasions to be at that distance too long.
he's got good head movemement and footwork, he's in to land and out before counters. Depends what you call defense though, if you consider keeping your hands up and turtling good defense then yeah, he doesn't have good defense. You have to understand defense isn't centered around hands, feet, head and body movement are a very important part of it.
Look at Woodley's face and Nate Daiz face
also conor was out boxed by Nate Diaz, and Nate Diaz has no take downs
which is why he has a terrible record
if the fight goes the ground he could win most fights, but he can never get the fight to the ground himself via take down
Woodley just needs to take conor down once and the fight is over
one is covered in scar tissue, that other one isn't lmao
His head movement is not that good
neither is his foot work
Anderson Silva had the type of defense you are talking about lmao, conor has none of those skills you mentioned
Chad Mendes tagged him with over hand rights, he was a midget though
woodley would KO him
