To me, Ngannou is the favorite going into the title match, it will say a lot more if Stipe is able to put a stop to him. Casuals should not be counting Stipe out. People are forgetting he is a knock out artist himself. With his current 5 win streak, all have come by KO or TKO. Not to mention 13 of his total 17 wins have come the same way. He may be smaller and not have the same power, but it will still be an amazing event when the 2 nuclear war heads go at it.

I ain't no casual kid...Every one at heavyweight has KO power because they're heavyweights. Overeem really should've finished Stipe in their fight, but gassed out going for the choke. I just see Ngannu as a different animal. Bigger, stronger and power powerful, just can't see him being finished. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RRypien37 Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 Very solid UFC Fight Night tonight. Every fight on the main card is worth a watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SabreFan1 Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 UFC 219 main events starting in 5 minutes. I almost forgot about tonight. That would have sucked because I've been looking forward to Holm vs Cyborg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And he could probably do that for 10 rounds! He will absolutely roll McGregor if they ever fight. Tony Ferg will be the tougher match up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SabreFan1 Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 I have a feeling Cyborg is just going to steamroll Holly. I'm still rooting for Holly though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SabreFan1 Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 Holly has done well but Cyborg has Holly timed perfectly now. She's just dropping bombs on her. This should end in the 4th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SabreFan1 Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 (edited) Props to Holly for a great fight, but Cyborg just has too heavy of a punch... At least Holly took it to a decision. Much more than I thought would happen. Edited December 31, 2017 by SabreFan1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conor's biggest enemy is his conditioning. Sure but man we just saw what Khabib did to probably a better all around stand up fighter than Conor. Barbosa has some of the most lethal kicks in the UFC and was completely neutralized. Khabib will have even an easier time taking Conor down. Barbosa also much stronger and better athlete than Conor. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SabreFan1 Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 Once Conor is done blowing through most of the 100 million that he made in boxing, we'll know for sure. Because by then he'll have been stripped of the belt and will come back to face whoever is holding it at that point, either Tony or Khabib. Best guess is we'll next see Tony vs. Khabib for the interim in April or May. Then Dana will tell Conor that he has to come back that summer to fight the winner or vacate his title.

Isam Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 I expect khabib vs a grizzly before a fight with Connor. A khabib vs Ferguson fight will probably end the same way as the Barboza fight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ferguson is the most well rounded fighter at 155. His ground game is excellent as well and can submit you from anywhere. See how he submitted Lee if you aren't convinced. Nine of his pro wins have come via submission. Edited January 2, 2018 by RRypien37 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neither is impressive from an aesthetics look. I'd say average size for lightweight. You want huge 155ers, see Alves, Lee and Trujillo. All absolutely jacked and look like they are 200 pounds at fight time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
