the UFC thread

Holloway cant fight. Pettis wont be able to fight the 5 rounds per the state. McGregor has weighed in at 155lb at the precinct. Hmmmmmmm

No chance.

 

[Mullers]

You just have to see the way Conor reacted at Bellator last year to see this was not a publicity stunt. The guy is a train wreck. It's such a shame but we have another Jones situation on our hands. A great fighter inside the octagon but it's also about how you carry yourself outside it. He is a disgrace for these latest actions.

This UFC card has gone downhill fast and it's such a shame because it was looking like a top card a few weeks ago. I'm sure Khabib and his crew played a big part getting under their skins though. He has previous with the Diaz brothers at a WSOF event. It's true that no news is bad news when promoting an event but it puts MMA in such a bad light.

Where's the Bushido code in this sport?

I've seen the altercation on YouTube, it was really nothing. It doesn't justify Conor's actions.

The bushido codes lives and dies with Machida

No chance.

LOL totally. Apparently couldn’t replace Tony because wouldnt make weight in six days yet weighs in at 155 in a police station. Utter tripe

 

[mil1lion]

UFC wouldn't put Conor on the card anyway. You can't pull Artem and then put Conor on the card.

 

[SugarRay]

The only people more deluded than West Ham, Newcastle and even Liverpool fans....


Conor McGregor fans! The mans a fucking div.

Does look staged, and big bad McGregor does what exactly? Throws things about from a safe distance knowing security will prevent anything actually happening.

His fanboys lap it up though so why not carry on I guess? Not like he’ll be fighting anytime soon again is it?

 

[nedley]

He's actually abit of a twat isn't he?

 

[mil1lion]

Khabib vs Iaquinta is now the new main event. If Khabib wins he gets the belt but Iaquinta can't make the weight so can't win the belt.
All things considering it's not a bad fight to end up with.

 

[yankspurs]

Yes he's a massive twat but he's also incredibly entertaining.

 

[yankspurs]

Jesus. What a fight! Both these 2 are wild. Great fight.

If that was 5 rounds, Zabit would’ve been done. Guy is GASSED. Kyle looked like he could’ve gone 10 more rounds. What a fight.

 

[yankspurs]

I am still not impressed by Khabib.

 

[teok]

I think it's kind of naive to think that mma fighters aren't "bad people". They just get loads of media training to hide it and say the right thing to make it seem palatable.

Don't get me wrong I'm a massive fan also I just understand the game.

 

[mil1lion]

I am still not impressed by Khabib.

He's one dimensional. He just happens to be great at that one dimension. Soon he'll face someone like Iaquinta who is tough enough to weather the early storm. But someone with more technical striking and better movement to pick him apart. Beating a ranked 11 guy to become champion doesn't make you a real champion. I still feel he hasn't faced the very best level of opponent. I have no idea why he's challenging GSP when he needs to prove that he's undisputed Lightweight champion. I want to see him fight Conor. So much emotion there.

Khabib out struck laquinta and Barboza, he isn't as good or Tony in striking but he isn't bad at all.

Khabib wanted to fight Tony and he wanted to fight Max, not his fault they had to pull out. He's called out Connor multiple times and Conor doesn't want to fight. Rumor is he wanted to fight RDA for the interim welterweight belt, which tells me everything I need to know. He only wants to fight people that he thinks he can beat.

 

[yankspurs]

Well to just cap off an awful week for Dana, Lesnar who was a sure fire bet to return to UFC has re-signed with WWE

Sure I'm not blaming Khabib for any of it. He can only fight who is in front of him. But he can't be called an undisputed champion after beating a ranked 11 guy. He should be interim champion at best. I still feel he hasn't faced the very best yet.

It's a shitty situation for the division which has been held up for so long because of Conor refusing to defend a belt. I just want Conor to come back and put on another great fight. I dont like the guy outside the octagon and what he has become. Inside the octagon though he is an exciting fighter and pre match interviews are entertaining.

That's what the sport is all about, exciting action inside the octagon and pressers that make you want to watch a fight. I just don't get excited watching Khabib.

Good. I don't rate Lesnar in MMA. He's another one dimensional fighter who is not able to keep up with the evolution of the sport. He cheated last time out which shows his character.

Fedor fought mir yesterday.

 

[teok]

Fedor's brother alex weighing in against gonzaga. Alex is probably the most intimidating fighter I have ever seen. It doesn't show in the vid but does any one else know what I mean. Some mma fighters just across as normal people but I reckon he is a complete psycho.

His record is nothing special though and he isn't on speaking terms with Fedors apparently.
