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

Robbie Lawler hurt again.....

Welp, I knew it would begin. Who's next..

Gonna wait to see what the injury is

No way that happens, connor holding 2 belts up. If he beats aldo expect a rematch esp cuz that will make more money than cowboy vs mcgregor

And smh at lawler hurt, too late for gsp to turn his mini trial camp to an actual fight camp lol

Well it depends on how the fight goes. If Aldo gets destroyed (unlikely) then I could see them going with other options, especially if Cowboy wins. If Aldo can't go for whatever reason (medical suspension or possible move up to 155), you think they're going to do Frankie or Cowboy/RDA? They give no damns about Frankie, sadly

A TON of moving parts and scenarios so there's no point in playing what if anyway. All I will say is, Dana only cares about money. IMO he would hold up two belts no problem if it meant $$$. Just because he he's only done it once doesn't mean it can't or won't happen again. Conor is the perfect candidate for it should he beat Aldo. I have zero faith in Dana making the right decision instead of the money decision

Why did Rose cut her hair???

Pfister saying Sage looks like someone who's been spoonfed everything his entire life

Spoken like someone who's about to get washed 

next week is going to be awesome man. All these events, I can't wait

 

[thehealthinspector]

aldo kill pettis?

both of them are arguably the best striker of their division, not to mention aldo is no RDA

I almost felt like the UFC made Pfister say that just to stir up some sort of interest 

 didn't believe the sincerity at all 

Sage isn't real though. His personality is just too weird

I just thought it was going to be short, didn't expect her to have a shaved head. SMH.

Other fighters are making so many assumptions about the kid. The hate is strong.

I thought it was a troll the entire time. But I watched some videos from when he was a little kid. And it's the exact same, barbie doll Ken personality 

Dude is crazy talented. Super accomplished in Karate. Has trained in wrestling and BJJ as well growing up. 

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

I love Sage's attitude. I just literally don't think it's possible lol. Not saying he's being fake but to be that humble and nice... even for an average dude seems impossible. But this guy has a 14 pack and can fold pans in half and ****. How can he be so nice??

 

[spiderjericho]

I've also heard Ali from wsof is a huge crook, everytime I hear that man talk I just cringe

A ton of fighters loves what Coker did for them in strickforce, I've heard on many accounts he's a fighters owner

On last week's MMA Beat, they mentioned a possible WSOF bankruptcy. And the possibility of Bellator capitalizing on it by grabbing some guys to deepen their roster.

So really Hendersons options are One FC, Bellator and long shot of that Japanese promotion.

Right!! Usually guys b cocky as hell when they can do **** like that lol....I guess Jesus found him or he found Jesus

It literally blows my mind. I've seen a ton of interviews and stuff with him. He never strays, he's always so happy

Spoke to 2 sources very close to Lawler within last hour, both say FB post that he's injured is inaccurate. 1 said he even sparred tonight.

Nice, yeah I was a little skeptical when I read that he cancelled on an event and nothing more. Hope he's OK

Prepare for the onslaught of coverage and hype

An hour-long special hyping UFC 194  is scheduled to air on FOX this Saturday.

The show, entitiled "UFC Embedded: Aldo vs. McGregor," will air at 3 p.m. ET on the national broadcast channel. A similar show aired prior to Rousey vs. Holm last month, and it proved to be a ratings success.

While the special is called "Embedded," it's more like a "Countdown" or "Road to the Octagon" than the "Embedded" YouTube shows that have been very popular over the past two years. The promotion will still run that series online leading up to next week's pay-per-view.

 

[atransta]

I'll be watching it 

 

[af1 1982]

Embedded is lowkey my favorite part about fight week

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Yeah Embedded is always on point

There will be a "UFC Training Day" show on today at 4 PM Pacific time on FS1. They will focus on the Serra-Longo camp, should be interesting. I'll be keeping an eye on this new series

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

I am not a Luke Thomas fan at all, but this had my dying 

Edit: I didn't realize this is a regular thing for him lol

Good looks. They did one for AKA a while back (pre-Jones fight I believe) and I was hoping it would be a regular thing but I think this new one is the first since then.

Aldo/Edgar replay right before it at 6pm EST.

 

[af1 1982]

This training day is the goods. I love MMA docs, the behind the scenes is so interesting to me

Sometimes the All Access/Countdown etc. shows be better than the fights themselves

 

[SORIANOTRON]

I think pettis can hold his own against aldo.

no way mannnn

I mean anyone can win an MMA fight, but pettis is light years behind aldo, got exposed in the gilbert, and RDA fight.

Pettis can strike dont get me wrong, but thats about it.....

since pettis was exposed he's lost that protection from the UFC, well see him against some real tough match ups going forward, he got a long road to climb back to the top

The eddie fight is a winnable fight for both, lets see what happens.

aldo kill pettis?

both of them are arguably the best striker of their division, not to mention aldo is no RDA

Aldo is also arguably the best wrestler, BJJ, and grappler in the division as well....dude thats what a complete fighter is, pettis is faaaaaaar from complete

Aldo aint lost in 10 years thooooo, name some one active in MMA, let alone the UFC who has a longer run....

dude is P4P #1, pettis got subbed by clay guida lol pettis hype got yall brainwashed....

lets not talk about this foos "reign" as champ lol 1 title defense, aldo has 7

 

[illphillip]

Punk about to fight on Spike.

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

How did Gil expose Pettis? Because Pettis was taken down? We already knew Pettis can get taken down

I want to see Aldo utilize his ground game in this fight with Conor

I really don't understand how Pettis all of a sudden is exposed. He hit RDA with shots that probably would have stopped a lot of other fighters

We'll see this fight with Eddie, which is a not a terrible match up for Pettis. Eddie likes to start slugging it out instead of using his wrestling
