Reyes won that fight but man one thing that people don't talk enough about with Jones is his ability to absorb. He can take a punch better than most on the roster. I think Diego is going to get murdered tonight. Pereira is going to make up for his last outing and put in on the poor old UFC spaz. YES! YES! YES! If Anderson wins tonight, in a big time way...have to think he calls out Jones eh!? Reyes imo needs to fight someone else before a rematch, if Jones lost then him getting an immediate rematch makes sense, champs who have defended their belts deserve it but not someone who lost, they shouldn't get an immediate rematch. Get back out there with a chip on your shoulder win another fight against a top opponent then go all out to KO Jones in the rematch early. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well Jones did lose so yeah, rematch is definitely warranted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Judges chose Jones as the victor, has a contender who lost a championship fight ever gotten an immediate rematch with that champ without having to fight another top contender? I'd say Reyes vs Jan could happen then winner fights Jones, But could see Jan fighting Jones. I just don't see how the LOSER of a fight no matter how people feel about the outcome gets an automatic rematch. It is the UFC...they don't care Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Immediate rematches when you "lose" to the champ are not common place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bishopshodan Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 Stylebender is going to be a big star. If he dusts Romero, the sky is the limit. He is playing the arrogant heel to a tee. His recent twin towers comment will fire up a bunch a folks. Anti-hero. Gonna pick Felder for the win tonight....and there's the Wilder v Fury fight....and the Nucks play the Bruins.... good day ahead! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd actually want him to beat JJ. I don't see him losing to anyone at MW right now. Maybe Shahbazyan if he continues his impressive climb? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
86Viking Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 Was hoping Felder would win, but that takedown late probably sealed it for Hooker. Was a great fight tho! Hope Felder doesn't retire... I saw a recap of the Wilder Fury fight, don't watch a ton of boxing as its too boring for me. But why did the fight end? Fury clipped Wilder but he didn't fall down and seemed good enough to continue. Was it a controversial ending?? Wilder vs Fury 3 evenutally...both won by controversy and it makes decent coin at PPV so why not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Down by the River Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 Wish judges were better at scoring situational wrestling. Desperately shooting for a takedown because you're getting pieced apart on the feet shouldn't count as much as shooting because that's part of your game plan (e.g., GSP, Khabib). Felder probably should retire though. He is really good on the mic and I just don't see him being anything but a gatekeeper. If his goal is to fight because he truly loves fighting, keep at it. If his goal is to fight because he wants to become a champion, I think its time to realize that he has a solid future outside the cage and his toughness will probably only get him into trouble.

I don't think Felder is a gatekeeper. Hes a contender. If he won last night, which I think he should have, I would have expected a title crack after maybe one more w. He is good on the mic too though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WHL rocks Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 Good last fight and good career for Felder. Hooker's a very good young fighter, I had him winning as well. Felder is a drama major and is attempting to expand his acting career. And he's a ufc analyst/announcer. He's got a lot going on other than just training and fighting.

WHL rocks Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 (edited) Wow worst stoppage in UFC history during LHW bout between Cutelaba and Ankalaev. Ref stopped fight with both fighters on their feet 38 seconds into the fight. Really wanted to See this fight Ankalaev is a Dagestani beast. Both fighters knock out punchers. Too bad ref ruined it. Ankalaev too win. Back to Canucks game. Hopefully they tie it soon here. Edited March 1, 2020 by WHL rocks Typo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disgrace, that ref should never step foot in the cage again. Everyone on the planet knew that Cutelaba was doing the rope-a-dope head wobble. Terrible. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
