The MMA Thread: DON'T ASK 4 STREAMS & NO GIFS- Ferguson v Khabib: SAT 04/07 on PPV and FS1 @5PM

there never was any intrigue. you had one great fighter with no personality and very little star power. only thing they sold us on was he was dominant but dj never pushed himself at the next weight class for anyone to care
at this point, you'd have to put dj and tj on an undercard or fox cause if that was a main event ppv...

 

Yeah, not sure how they would sell that as a superfight since neither is a big draw.

I’d say Cyborg is a bigger draw smh.

And D.J. Is comfortable. No need to move up and try to rematch Dominic Cruz or try his mettle w Cody or TJ.

All of that ish doesn’t matter. The only thing that does is Khabib/Ferguson.

 

So they are going to force feed TJ into fighting Cody again? I think its too soon for that rematch, make Cody get another win or 2 first. I know I'm in the minority but I've been a fan of DJ's and it sucks they aren't making the TJ fight for now. I do agree DJ should move up though not sure why he's so keen on keeping the FL belt that no one really cares about.

 

Does anybody really know what Dana is thinking??? Talks a bunch of noise about Cyborg/Nunes is the fight to make then a week later puts Nunes/Rocky on a card... He is so hot and cold on stuff it really isn't worth trying to get into that bald head...

 

Welp!

 

Punching the Dana White character in the UFC 3 game and knocking him out is pretty enjoyable.

 

Just a random thought, remember affliction pre-fight gear?



Also I listened to that Joe Rogan podcast with Yoel Romero, kinda interesting.

 

werdum got put to sleep happy to see volkov get the dub though

 

i had it on in the background but he wasn't looking too good from what i saw.

 

Yup hate to say it but I’m pretty much a casual fan at this point

sucks but this happens in every sport. new generations of athletes and such. New fighters, too many cards, and the base talent level dropping all contributed. Overall the talent level in mma is way higher but there’s too many “nobodies” in the ufc now. Kind of contradicting myself but I think it makes sense


I saw pretty much every card from ufc 94 up to Cain/Werdum and I’ve been falling off since. Conor stealing Aldo’s soul was the turning point and now my guy Werdum is done Another one bites the dust

2006-2014 was the best era

 

we're still about to witness one of the most anticipated fights in a long time in just a few weeks

 

maybe what's his name is waiting on standby ... unless he still has his eyes on that "165 lb" belt

 

Khabib Ferguson has let me down too many times for me to get excited at this point. Not going to believe it until i see them both in the cage at the same time

 

Same reason that's supposedly claimed why McGregor hasn't been officially stripped of the title yet, moment fight starts and the title is off him.

 

Think I’m going to go

 

Anyone down to go to the Brooklyn event?

 

Yeah that crowd was nutty, hoping Liverpool tops it.
