----------

Since I will be away in Korea, I will just update this thread with a new picture for each event. We can also keep all of our UFC discussion during the summer in this thread.

What does Molly McCann do well? I haven't ever seen her fight. I'm just assuming the UFC is trying to give Lipski a layup after a tough first fight. Because she's very marketable (attractive and is a striker)

Nothing really pops out on this card besides the main. Lineker-Font seems like an odd, unnecessary one to run back

Have fun in Korea dood

Molly has more heart, down to close the distance and brawl, been training her wrestling even though she's not some good wrestler, and probably has more power.

Lipski is hot, but I have a feeling that's all she brings to the table. I think she's probably more technical, but Molly will be in her face, so the technical striker will get fucked.

Molly is also a Cage Warriors champion, which holds a little weight on the regional scene, and is more than Lipski has accomplished.

The Korean Zombie with a big win~

Just straight insta boomed a top 5-7 guy

Anyone have a stream for BKB?

Junior dos Santos...is no friend to his face.

Yep!

His nose has looked like shit for many years...

MMA is close to dead. Not even a thread for Junior vs Ngannou lol

They are fighting? The Cigano will knock out Francis Ngannou in one round! He is the more diminant fighter.

It was over a day ago when I posted that lol
Cigano KO'ed once something touched his head (as usual)

Ok. But I thought he said he moves like a middle weight hahaha. Maybe he forgot to say his chin is like a feather weight.

Rockhold looks fucking huge

JBJ s become one of those "praaaise the looord"type of champions, what a cliche with all of the drugs related shit he s done too................ even if its just a front, still stupid

LHW is pretty dead, Santos will need a hail-mary to KO JBJ, otherwise, JBJ will just keep him at distance and tire him up then fuck him up badly

Hope Masvidal crushes Askren... Askren should've done the Lawler rematch, he basically got an underserved gift and went for the most money instead of justice

let's say that was a bad stoppage, Askren was gonna get that finish, don't you think? there were like 2 minutes left in the clock and he was still in a super fucked position

I hate religious fanatic champs, why are you doing this to me JBJ :<

I hate them all, but comming from JBJ it feels even worse. Can you really believe in god and behave like JBJ? lol. And even if you do believe in god stop being annoying with it.

99% sure it's just a front and a PR trick to sway public opinion, still annoying as fuck, he s the GOAT imo but things like that make me wanna root for the other dude so he can knock some sense in him

RUSRS?

if you want to find who is the sickest mothefucker in a prison always look for the one with more religious tattoos

Jorge Masvidal with a SICK KO!

that Amanda kick to counter Jackson's oblique kick was beautiful, the Masvidal fight was a shame i wanted to see more.


Pathetic display by Jones tbh, you can't even beat up a guy with a fucked up knee? lame.

thought santos won 3-2
no one is beating amanda at 135, maybe shev (and arguably already has)
jorge KO was flukish but still good to shut ben up
luke is absolutely flushed, no idea what he does now. maybe retire?

Uuuhh yeah? Christians are the sickest motherfuckers on the planet. Read the Spanish Inquisition.

Luke is done, its sad to watch, what were those lazy frontkicks? Does he really want to be there? I dont think he really wants to fight anymore, he seems like he wants to get KOd so he can get out of there.

I'm very impressed with Jon Jones. I mean he didn't wrestlefuck Marreta nor tried to take him down which I'm sure he could'eve done multiple times (hell he was taking dc down and we know what kind of beast he is on top). It's like he said to himself "I'm beating him on his own game" and mostly felt very comfortable with the risks he was taking throughout the fight and never cared to use other tools that are available in his game. Pretty sick.

Every time he gets KOed i'm under the impression he "did died"

shiiiiiit that Masvidal KO man hoooly fuck

Rockhold should retire or just get money at lowbie fights where he d crush people..

I'd say Nunes is just too smart of a fighter compared to other women, she adapts so fast

JBJ ---- http://www.mmadecisions.com/decision/10243/Jon-Jones-vs-Thiago-Santos

objective scoring I'd say

expected JBJ to go that strategy tbh just a sloppy execution if they rematch he s gonna smack him pretty badly... Santosés only chance is to be agressive as fuck and survive the distance counter strikes



2 judges gave round 4 to Santos..... He literally landed 2 shots and was with his back to the fence the entire round, got all of his shots either checked or dodged and JBJ almost disabled his legs???? Judges are bamboozling

Easily 49-46 for JBJ

Also purely medically speaking, I'm guessing fight shouldve been stopped, Santos's legs were super fucked up round 5

Masvidal's press conference is pure gold :D

Long Duk Dong is the future of bantam. He move like Mike Tyson and very diminant fighter.

I think pretty clear win for JBJ because of octagon control. Santos threw a lot but missed like 80% of his shots. But overall a bit boring fight and it felt like JBJ thought he was more ahead than he was and just continued with his gameplan. Also Santos did it well with leg kicks.

I thought Jones won 3-2.

I don't remember exactly, but I think I gave Jones rounds 3, 4, and 5.

I agree with Spitfire that the fight should have been stopped, seems irresponsible to let a fighter go on with a knee like that probably risking a career ending injury

July 27.

Santos had surgeries on both his knees... man the medical stoppages should really be stepped up in MMA .. I would be fine giving more freedom to refeers, most of them are pretty good, I really can't recall an absolutely terrible stoppage by a referee the past few years... Askren vs Lawler one was sketchy but far from terrible

Also I don't know why referees dont act as a judge in fights, at least for split decisions occurances

LETS GO SPENCER

I'm surprised she didn't get finished. Good chin on her.

Max vs. Frankie went like I thought it would. Not a boring fight, but not a good fight either.

How good is Covington if vs. Robbie Lawler??

what do you think about Colby vs Lawler being +205?

at first I thought this was a horrible match up for Colby

I definitely like Colby to beat Robbie.

Robbie can win via knockout, but I think Colby wins this fight more often than not.


Don't forget that the Colby vs. Robbie card starts today at 9am PST / 12pm EST.

Colby was very diminant! Is he next for Usman???

Colby vs. Usman is the only fight that makes sense.

Colby vs. Lawler went as expected, although I thought Lawler would make it tougher for Colby.
