The MMA Thread: DON'T ASK 4 STREAMS & NO GIFS- O’Malley v Vera on NOW

I've only watched their 2nd fight once but I thought robbie was lucky the judges gave him the decision. I thought it was close but lawler hit hendricks with everything and he wouldn't go away.
 
I'll agree that it was close when I re-watched it.

But his last fights (Lawler 2 and Brown) were boring to me. And he coasted in his fight against GSP and then complained for months talking about how much damage he did to GSP and how he should've been crowned champ. It annoyed me that he felt so entitled to something he didn't earn.
 
So apparently Ludwig made some waves today saying "TJ is the only one at Alpha Male who truly wants to be champ or trains to be champ" or something like that. Them boys got their feelings hurt

 Ludwig gives no dambs

TJ just has that air about him, reminds me of DJ and Weidman style personalities. That quiet and unstated type

Why did Ludwig and TAM split anyways?
Return home to Colorado

Looking back on this interview from a year ago, you can tell Faber of wants ultimate control of the gym. I don't blame him, he did create it. At the same time I could see why someone like Ludwig would say what he did today and why he would have friction at a place like Team Alpha Male. Faber will always be bigger than anyone else at TAM and by nature that sort of clashes with a head coach. I'm not surprised Ludwig only last a few years there

Bang has got no chill :lol: :pimp:

Condit getting a shot makes sense in terms of the numbers so it's not surprising. That fight is going to be insane :x

Hendricks and Woodley have gotten shafted though.

They both need to get back to blowing dudes heads off.
 
I'd like to see Hendricks get it just so lawler can close out that trilogy and shut him up lol

Let Condit and woodley rematch, I'd like to see Condit get that one back, I feel like he was gonna take over in the first fight in the 2nd rd

Yeah those both make more sense since Hendricks kinda got robbed and Condit lost because of the injury.
 
I'm excited for lawler vs condit. The trilogy match up can wait, i think fans are more excited to see lawler vs condit than Hendricks putting his head in between Robbie's legs lol.

Thanks.

Makes sense. TJ trains and works out at TAM and then when the fight gets near he sharpens his striking/boxing with Ludwig.

Faber and Mendes gotta be some what salty that TJ does that IMO
 
Faber probably tripping on some Student > Master stuff

Jessica Eye got handles.

Bang cutting the cameras :smokin

Barboza/Felder fight the one that got me most hyped this weekend.

Hendricks whining :smh:

:lol:

He does have a legit claim. And Lawler/Hendricks fighting and winner fighting winner of a Woodley/Condit fight does make sense with unfinished business of sorts between all parties.

But as a big fan of both, I want to see Lawler/Condit while I can before anything derails it.

Rematches are definitely out of control.


With that said, Hendricks is the only mma guy I can think of that mighta got jerked in two separate title fights (GSP and Robbie 2). Definitely think he beat GSP and robbing him of that win was some real bull ****. That was his chance to claim he beat one of the best of all time and they jerked him.

I think technically he beat Robbie in the rematch on points too but I'm not mad at that because Robbie is my dude, I thought Robbie had a claim to winning the first fight, and Hendricks was stalling way too much in the rematch.

And yeah Condit is the least deserving of a title fight between him, hendricks and woodley but whatever, it'll be exciting. I think Robbie wins though.

no one wanna see hendricks as champ again bros.

burrying your face in your opponents crotch up against the cage for 25 minutes aint championship material.

This foo had 3 straight title shots, not 3 in his career.....3 in a ******* row.

Granted the rematch was close, but robbie kept comming forward, hendricks gassed and started holding on to double legs for dear life. When your the champ, that's not going to RETAIN the title for you, robbie came in there and TOOK it. Hendricks did not defend, he was fighting to survive.

Look at robbies first defense, rory came in blazing, these foos stood up and banged it out....robbie defended the **** outta the belt.. ..

thats the thing with title fights some ppl fail to comprehend, 1 guys has to go in there and try to TAKE the belt, another guy has to go in there and DEFEND it.

Its a different dynamic than a regular 3 rounder. In order to take the belt, you have to have a DEFINITIVE performance or the belt will remain. You not going to get by squeaking out decisions when your the champ.
