The MMA Thread: DON'T ASK 4 STREAMS & NO GIFS- UFC 300 ON NOW

[phillyzphan]

Always thought the Australia card made more sense for Rousey, not a fight in Jan. Before the Bethe fight she said she wanted to fight soon after so she could go film some movie.

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

But Stephens might not be a sacrificial lamb lol...that dude is always in it. U gotta put him away cuz he never stops.

Thinkin bout it he has legit three or 4 comeback kos in the third round

Well who else would Holloway fight... I don't think he should have to fight another top ranked guy but it's looking like he's going to have to take another fight in the mean time. I'm guessing a rematch with Oliveira?

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

This dude Scott Coker was announcing future fights and he legit forgot who his tournament champion was. "We have Will Brooks fighting our tournament champion... uhhhh.. shoot... I forgot..."

He's never been the best speaker 

 

[g money 87]

Always thought dude was a tool lol

I'd like Holloway rematch or lamas

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

It was legit hilarious moment that only Bellator could have produced

Lamas will be fighting Diego Sanchez at the end of November.. maybe the winner can fight Holloway

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

You can't make this stuff up with Bellator. It's not even cringe anymore, it's just sad. At first it was a little funny, then it was awkward...

Tito on McGeary: "On September 19th, we'll get in this cage, yes it is going to be locked behind us. Hope you're ready for some damage. Cuz Tito Ortiz....... is gonna wreak havoc....... long pause........ blank stare into the distance.... on your face..."

Lamas is gonna slaughter him.  I hope Diego retires after this fight.

Been moving into my new crib last few days. Finally got Wifi set up. Been catching up.

Saw this...

Where they say....

As we recently learned however, Edgar’s next assignment is likely to be against the division’s number-three-ranked Chad Mendes.

So is this official? If so

Still going to be a mess if Mendes wins. Or does the UFC believe Conor is washing Aldo and that they can market Mendes/McGregor 2 with Mendes having a full camp this time?

[RustyShackleford]

Injuries are gonna destroy those cards. I just know it |I

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

I'm counting on it 

 

[illphillip]

Lawd.

I may have to put aside a bottle of Macallan 18 for those 2 weekends.

 

[g money 87]

Even if injuries take out a few there's plenty of good fights to move around and replace

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Dana up to his old tricks again? 

Gadelha might get passed over for a title shot...

[shogun]

Weird. It's not like letourneau is a way bigger name or an alot more exciting fighter. I was surprised she beat Moroz and that was a good win for her.

 

[illphillip]

They've been making some very strange decisions with their title fights recently.

Ronda/Holm
Joanna/Letourneau
Condit over Hendricks/Woodley
Edgar getting passed over at FW
Cain getting rematch
Gus over Bader

All pretty questionable.

I understand a few exceptions and matches made out of injury circumstances, but when you see a pattern like this it's concerning. They don't care about contender ladders at all at this point

It's their choice to run the organization how they see fit but it's unfortunate that they're moving away from "we make the fights that boxing doesn't make"... now they're pretty much just making money fights 

 

[phillyzphan]

Heard about Gadelha possibly getting skipped over yesterday. But if Paige wins easily next Saturday wouldn't be shocked if she skips over everyone and gets the title shot. Thats if she and TAM thinks she's ready.

 

[illphillip]

Countdown on FS1 right now.

 

[g money 87]

Dodson is delusional

 

[blackcease]

Praying that last Dodson fight was an anomaly. First fight with DJ was dope, it'd be a shame if he wasn't the same fighter after an injury.

 

[justscrap]

I feel like gahelha getting past over must be because of the tensions been the UFC and nova uniao or they could just be trying to build up each fighter to make the rematch more marketable

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Welp

 

[shogun]

Dude is even trolling with those garbage tattoos. The belly button tiger tattoo looks so dumb.

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

You seen that link to where he's obviously copying this other dude right? With all them tattoos and even his hair/beard
