The MMA Thread: DON'T ASK 4 STREAMS & NO GIFS- UFC 301 in Brazil- Pantoja/Aldo etc. SAT 5/4











Gotta say, Uncle Chael might have been a cheater and not quite the best fighter but his promo skills were great. No one today quite has that panache.

Sucks for Yan…taking such a dangerous opponent.

Sucks for Merab. There’s quite a line for the title. Henry. Suga. Winner of Sandhagen/Vera. Merab.

Edit: Merab doesn’t have huge power or great effective striking but he’s unrelenting and got good wrestling. A problem for most in the division. He definitely looked better than in the Aldo fight.
 
Man what a fall for Yan, from the "boogeyman" to a 3 fight losing streak. Wonder where his career goes from here.

Merab is a machine though, congrats to him, high level performance.

Not sure why would the winner of Sand/Vera is next in line in your opinion.
 
Yan went from being unbeatable to losing 3 straight.

Crazy cause the 1st Sterling fight he was dominating.
Yan definitely was winning until he made one of the greatest bonehead mistakes in MMA (Jon Jones has made two…folks might not remember he did the same knee to Anthony Smith).

The second Sterling fight was close. Yan probably beat Sean. Out of the three, this was the legitimate loss.

Chito has a legitimate claim at a title fight. If he beats Corey, he definitely deserves a title fight. Suga has the next title fight. So now we have a line of Henry>Suga>Winner of Sandhagen/Chito>Merab.
