He has focused on boxing. The julio Cesar Chavez Jr was a great victory over a decorated boxer in 2021. Anderson is a different animal. True samurai, plans to keep fighting even after last night. Has a bjj contest coming up. Not saying he has not slowed down or age hasn't caught up to him. But he has not checked out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet Cmac is the one he will fight in the cage. He has always wanted it. Jake is a good wrestler and a big boy that can now box. The idea of an MMA fight is not crazy, especially for a big payday against a smaller guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah. thats why I said 'played with his food'. Actaully not uncommon for him going way back. Damian Maia comes to mind. There was quite a few moments when he trying to school Paul and teach him a lesson throughout the fight But he started slow. He threw, what 5 punches?, in the first and they were some of the best shots of that round but still lost it due to Pauls quantities. As the fight went on, Paul would hug/clinch up whenever he was in danger. Anderson let rounds slip away while still giving the impression that he was the better striker. Then the knockdown, sealed the deal. Anderson had a bad strategy, Paul's was ugly, wild and clingy but it was better. Tap away for points and hug when needed.

bishopshodan Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 I'll tell ya who looked disinterested. Uriah Hall. Straight up looked depressed. Flat footed, clunky and slow. He is/was such an athlete and great striker. Last night he looked like a zombie. I know he battles with mental health. I hope he has some good support around him. He called out Jake which I dont think will every happen after his lackluster win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Down by the River Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 Man, the UFC really treats veteran fighters like lame horses. Put Frankie out to pasture... in front of his kids no less. One of my all time favorites. DP was great under fire in that first round. Most of Chandler's punches caught leather. Esparza Wei-Li was a forgone conclusion. Could have saved everyone the time by just dropping off the belt in the middle of the octagon and going home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HI5 Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 So was Khamzat was supposed to fight winner of these two? If so, he beats both..but this Peira guy is big and through some nice punches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it won't be popular on here but I am glad Adesanya lost I have mixed feelings on him. Fun to watch but super cringe in interviews. Pereira is definitely easier for me to sell to my friends who don't watch all the time. "See that big guy?

There will be a well deserved immediate rematch. Izzy has earned it and was likely winning the fight last night till getting pieced up. Way to go DP. I mentioned Chandler should fight more patiently, last night... he didn't These guys agree with me.. https://www.mmamania.com/2022/11/13/23455778/ufc-281-the-morning-after-michael-chandler-throws-it-all-away Any time he stunned Poirier, Chandler would completely lose himself in the moment, throwing himself at his wounded foe with little thought. When has this ever worked against Dustin Poirier? He’s a genuine master at holding himself together in a firefight, remaining standing, then landing crushing blows as his foes try to catch their breathe. Poirier has done it time and time again, yet Chandler ran full speed into that exact scenario in the closing moments of the first round. Given a few more seconds, he was getting stopped in the first frame because of his own awful choices. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
