+ Show Spoiler +I think his opponents just figured him out, he's like an old blueprint that didn't adapt with how fast MMA is growing and developping. He never had much options long range, against kicks, and if you can lock him in a clinch he can't do anything either. I guess his streak was mostly because he fought strikers with lacking ground game (Thompson, Lawler, Condit, Gastelum). The only oddity was Darren Till because of his solid background in the clinch but he was probably too cocky in that specific fight.
He's a wrestler being outwrestled by all the other wrestlers in the division ah hah.

+ Show Spoiler +I hate when he says stupid crap like he is the best ever and did not get the respect he deserves. He was always boring and in his championship run he had the lawler and till fights he clearly won, the Thompson 2 were both awful no one won or lost and Maia was not much better. If you want to be considered a all time great you have to impose your will and dominate, not back up and wing 5 punches per round. His 0 risk ever strategy was so boring and it showed when he fought wrestlers and pressure fighters he had no heart and no other options. Belator is willing to pay names even if they are boring so I suspect we will see him there soon.
|
+ Show Spoiler +Oh yeah he talked a lot of shit for someone that barely won any fight convincingly in his title run.
|
Tonight is going to be too good, I don't even care if it is top heavy. A must buy IMO.
|
Just got back onto checking TL's UFC stuff, seems like it's changed? No more predictions and such like int he old days? What gives?
|
I think just not as many people so now it is more big breaks and live reports. But if you start making predictions I bet others will.
I got izzy and Jan tonight. Israel is just too slick will pick him apart for a late TKO. and I just like Jan more so he is going to get a KO with a straight right.
|
|
Wow. I thought Costa was gonna maul him. Why didn't he throw any punches? He looked scared, and he got shredded.
|
I think he was scared of gaming maybe??? It was a awful strategy to just outside his range but right in izzys range and get blasted till you lose. He had to close distance to throw or clinch and he just never did.
|
|
Costa usually doesn't throw that much in the open, he does it once he pressures his opponent against the cage. But he had no countermeasure against having his leg chewed up? I had Adesanya by KO but not that quickly!
Dead wrong on the Blachowicz vs Reyes one though, grats to Jan.
|
There is something cool when a guy goes up a weight class and does so much better. I doubt it will happen but Jon Jones vs Jan is a fight I would love to see. Jones takes a lot of punishment and it would be interesting to see how he handled that power. I always wanted to see Rumble Jones as well. But really I hope he keeps his out of the cage shit in check because there are lots of good fights for him and the UFC has the covid protocols working well. Probably the only sport I care as much about as usual, lol.

"So much for fight of the year. But [it was] domination of the year," White said. "It was weird, because if you look at every other fight Costa has had, he goes after people like they owe him money. ... No matter what it was, Adesanya put on a clinic."
That about sums it up. The taunting stuff was really, really stupid.
I think JJ has 2-3 KO losses and retirement in his near future. He hasn't fought with any sense of urgency in his recent fights, especially against Reyes, when he should have thought he was losing (and should have lost). That doesn't bode well against guys like Ngannou, imo.
|
I agree and with how he has treated his body outside the cage I doubt he ages well. There were a lot of fights at LHW where he just outsized guys so much, and I don't know if it was better drugs from his NFL brothers or better genes but he could cut so much more weight and still recover. Him vs DC for example it was striking how much bigger he was.

Start predicting & more will follow!
Like for instance, Holly Holm vs Irene Aldana tonight?
I've honestly never watched Aldana fight, but considering Holm, I can't see her losing to anyone but Nunes or GDR again in the bantamweight division
Poll: Holly Holm vs Irene Aldana at UFC Fight Night?Irene Aldana (2) 67% Holly Holm (1) 33% 3 total votes Your vote: Holly Holm vs Irene Aldana at UFC Fight Night? (Vote): Holly Holm

I don't really want to break my streak, but I got Aldana and more importantly Condint. I love that guy, I cant deal with the reality that him and lawler are fading.
|
I didn't watch the event, but judging by the results, looks like it was rather lackluster... Holm going onto a 50-45 decision win & no fight of the night bonus.
|
Card was mediocre IMO.had some entertaining fights. Main event was kinda yawn , Holm was just better at everything.
|
Holy fucking shit, craziest KO of the year.
