UFC 249 On ESPN+ PPV [5/9] “Pandemic Of Violence” (Ferguson/Gaethje, Cejudo/Cruz, & More)

[chunky_mcdaniels]

Such a mature, well constructed rebuttal.

Ferguson is literally a meth addict that thinks there's people inside his walls, afraid of having microchips inserted into his leg.

I blame the athletics commission as much as blame that fat fukk Trump supporter.

[Big Boss]

Chuck got that same mentality as Tony (and some other fighters) .... Herb was right to stop the fight. at some point someone has to step in and protect the fighters from themselves.

yep thats what a ref is for

[Kenny West]

Tony has 10th planet bjj, perfectly made for Justin, a stiff wrestler, and he didn't show it once.

He did one silly roll when he was already wobbled. smh. terrible.

Idk what mma you watch but wrasslers maul bjj guys most times.

Two grapplers usually end up striking anyway

 

[Metal Face]

Ferguson is a maniac

Dude lost and was still was on his feet

 

[Primetime]

Is Gaethje’s wrestling background enough to stop Khabib from taking him down and killing him?

No

But on the real, Khabib at times is victim to wanting to prove he can stand and strike. Sometimes it works out, like when he dropped Connor... other times he'll get lit up a bit before recovering and (wisely) going back to his bread n butter.

Jon Jones is like this too. However, he said that if he had ever fought Rumble, he wouldn't have fukked around by trying to stand with him.

If Khabib has a similar mindset/respect for Justin... it's gonna be a true chess match of setting and avoiding takedown traps.

 

[R=G]

And that's how you throw away the bag...lol

 

[LinusCaldwell]

His quickness wasn't advantageous there against G because he'd been training for a different kind of fight. shyt happens.

I told @storyteller this and I’ll bring this here. Even if that was the case this is the fifth time this fight has been cancelled he’s been training for Khabib a fighter who hasn’t changed month for years now and in between all that he’s been fighting strikers... so the explanation/excuse to me was kinda moot

 

[LinusCaldwell]

I think Henry is placing himself for money fights. Easy way for him to get it with this move but I don’t see him fighting past 3 more matches. He’s looking for the biggest $$$. I wanted Cruz to win but I don’t think he was gonna score enough to win woulda lost by decision regardless.

Honestly, this was a good card. Best one I seen in a while.

Would have loved to see DC vs Francis

 

[Mantle Drunk]

I’m not surprised Gathje won but I’m pretty surprised in the way he won. He just dominated Ferguson for start to finish.

 

[Liu Kang]

Him cutting weight twice like an idiot didn't help Ferguson last night but Gaethje really evolved from the two times he got beat up while going for the slugfest and put on clinic.

He looked really good though I thought he was starting to gas in the 3rd but actually didn't. Props to him and we'll see how he fares against Khabib. I hope his kicking game will be a major factor but not sure hell be able to keep the fight standing for his kicking to have an effect and Khabib.

Re: Ferg, I think he didnt look that good against Cowboy and it felt like he was already slowing down by that time. I wish he has tried to mix up things by the 3rd because it was obvious he was losing at striking.

IMO, dude is done and should be checked on regularly because he'll probably have more psychotic breaks in the future after this life altering beating. Won't be surprised if his life takes a darker turn above all as he probably doesnt care about his treatment.

I don’t see this fight happening Anytime soon with a guaranteed payday with Mcgregor. If anything khabib lost a lot of leverage with Ferguson losing.

 

[KING WILL]

Watching again.

Cruz was mean mugging the ref during the official announcements. He pulled his hand away from him and said fukk U.....lol
