Ufc 214: bisping vs marquardt

The weirdest thing to me is, if GSP wasn't lying and he really walks around under 190, is he planning to bulk up a bunch to cut to 185? If so, he's probably putting 170 out of reach for the foreseeable future, meaning he's signing up to be undersized in perpetuity. Seems like fucken strange decisionmaking

Do you think Bisping could be his toughest opponent to date?

I guess the idea is to give drama/significance to fights in the very bottom tier of the UFC. So the 500,000 hardcores who bought fight piss can be emotionally invested in a fight between two guys who used to be good or did something cool on TUF but are now in danger of being cut. Nerds like us might be more likely to watch early prelims to see Artem Lobov vs Maximo Blanco or whatever

Artem lobov is the main event now, actually

Daniel Spitz is fighting, he's a Washingtonian who played football for WSU. From what I've seen he is still very ,very raw and will probably lose to God Beer. He is tall though, so he has that going for him

Chael talked about Rashad being way stronger and heavier than he expected in their fight (similar to how he described fighting Jones). He could be a handful for middleweights who try to grapple him, as opposed to mild pattycake sessions that seem to hypnotize him.

Dan kelly is a southpaw so another patty cake session isn't out of the question

I think khabib is going to have trouble getting TFERG down, and even more trouble keeping him there and Tony is gonna gently caress him up, imo.

Lol khabib vs Ferguson is cursed

TUF 22 finale - khabib rib injury
UFC on Fox 19 - Ferguson has too much blood in his lungs
UFC 209 - khabib hospitalized from weight cut


Does anyone have the khabib tweet making fun of Pettis (?) for being injured so much

Bubba Smith posted:

yes, tons of top ranked fighters barely average 2 fights a year. khabib and the rest of AKA (other than Cain) are only a little behind the average. it isn't a big deal.

tony ferguson himself has fought a grand total of 2 more fights than khabib has in that span of time. it barely matters.

that's what poo poo metric I'm using thank you for reading my post


same.

I think it's a big deal when almost all of your fights are main/con-main events and they are always getting cancelled

There really isn't a fight for tyron right now...jorge and mail are the only top 10 guys on win streaks, if lost Rory and didn't sign larkin, you got uh...magny and stun gun

The good thing about modern mma is that every non wmma fight is good

For instance check out these fights

Vitor Belfort vs Kelvin Gastelum
Shogun Rua vs Gian Villante
