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

Aint eem rootin for anyone in the co-main events, just want to see classic scraps.

I'd like to see Browne win, and win convincingly purely for the fact that HW doesn't have any real new blood. A win against Schaub doesn't tell you much though.

Browne's new coach, thank God they worked on his cardio:

"The guy [Browne] can't punch from short distance or middle distance," said Tarverdyan, who has made his MMA name coaching UFC women's bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey.

"He has to swing his hands. And even swinging, when he was out there he really couldn't have punched. He punches, but you have to swing to be able to connect that shot. Yes, it does [land], because he just has that in him, the fighting instinct. He just does it in there and it's been working for him. But not at the top level where somebody could really keep the distance the right way. He won't be able to land a shot and then what happens?"

"Of course he could fight," Tarverdyan said. "The guy gets in there and gets a lot of knockouts. He does know how to fight. But knows how to fight properly and knows how to balance himself and will be able to win against opponents at the top level? Absolutely not. Now he can. Because now he knows exactly what he's doing."

Browne's biggest holes were, according to Tarverdyan, inside striking and strength and conditioning. Since coming to Glendale Fighting club, Browne has improved his gas tank and has held his own against Olympic-level boxers, per the coach.

"If a heavyweight cannot hit the bag for one round, there's something wrong with that," Tarverydyan said. "Travis Browne couldn't hit the bag for one round. He would get fatigued, because he couldn't let his hands go constantly the way I wanted him to go."
 
Watching Road to the Octagon JDS/Stipe, Diaz/RDA on Fox. Why doesn't the UFC do a better job advertising for these shows? I had no idea it was coming on

JDS said he's changing as a fighter, not looking just for KO's but to win the fight

I thought there was a ppv Dec 20th not a Fight Night card. Usually a ppv would follow the free card on Fox.
