Breh, the dude looked like a janitor

This is how they should have been matchmaking for Pico. They’re easing in Danis, McKee, etc

Yea that danis fight was a JOKE

Think Chael bout to retire. Got the gloves off alrdy

 

[OTG]

always good to see chael get stopped that knee in the first almost flatlined him though... dude always avoids getting ko'd

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Chael going out at a good time, he got a whole family to raise

Peak Chael was some of the goat theater

 

[jewseejay]

Uncle chael taking pictures and shaking hands on the way out, all class. I remember when he fought Anderson and I hated him, now I like the guy. Wish him all the best with ESPN and all his other ****

So you defend Jorge for losing to high caliber guys and then discredit Edwards for the same exact thing

Don’t forget Vicente Luque as well. When you win 7 in a row at some point that should elevate you. In this case strictly off resume, I think it does

I fully understand why Jorge is in that fight though

Facts are facts. Jorge’s downfall has always been failure to finish. Most of his losses are extremely close decisions. He’s been fighting much better competition than Edwards for longer than Edwards has been fighting. We really don’t need to have this discussion.

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

I don't think Jorges losses to Wonderboy nor Maia were close despite whatever the scores read. But it's whatever. Till's best win was Cowboy going into the Wonderboy fight, then proceeds to miss weight and arguably loses. Then somehow that's good enough to get the title shot over Colby, only to get decimated by Woodley. At this point I don't know if Till is that much better than Edwards

Jorge is definitely top tier he's proved that, I think it would have been fair to give Edwards a chance, new blood that is, but again I understand why they're going with Jorge and why they also fast tracked Till

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Sexyama fighting again

 

[P A Z]

Lyoto retired another fighter. Chael added to the list with Randy and Vitor

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Luke Thomas brought up valid points in prospect evolution. Bellator and the UFC aren't the ideal places for this. I agree, most of today's stars were built through the regional scene or on smaller promotions at the very least before stepping up

Pico should not have been fighting these opponents, it's kind of a shame that happened. I'm just glad they're not doing this to AJ Mckee. But they have other younger prospects that they're also kind of feeding to much more experienced opponents

Proper progression is necessary for most in MMA. I hate to see these athletes with so much potential get rushed. I admire Coker for finding young talent and poaching these prospects but I think in an ideal world he can develop a minor league or be in concert with smaller promotions for this prospect building

I enjoyed watching Sonnen get worked. Even happier his lil kids were there to see their dad get washed

**** Chael
