TheHitman Posted June 11, 2017 Share Posted June 11, 2017 Just now, Down by the River said: That was another good Fight Night card. I like that Hunt keeps going after horse-meat Overeem. It has been a bad year for UFC PPV-wise, but I think that is at least in part because they have put out such good cards on Fox. More ppl are tuning in to Fox than ever before I imagine. Supposedly the DJ card didn't do well in ratings at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love the Super Samoan but Derrick Lewis was looking really dangerous and the first exciting HW contender in a while. The legend of Mark Hunt continues! If Lewis had the cardio and stamina, he would be a top 3 HW for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe, but that would be one card out of ten and DJ is maybe the least marketable successful UFC fighter on the roster. I like watching him fight, but I find him to be a bit of a weirdo in terms of his mannerisms. He might be a really nice guy in person, but to me he comes off very awkward and has never managed to sell his story, show who he is, make himself interesting to a broader fan base. There is also almost nobody in the 125 division that has made themselves known. John Dodson had a run for a while, but now its just DJ fighting a bunch of guys who don't bring much of a following. One guy that might be interesting at 125 is Ben Nguyen. He seems to be one of the only flyweights that actually knocks guys out. Personally, that's not a requirement for an exciting fight, but for others, they don't care about you unless you are putting people down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would probably have time to get his cardio to where it needs to be tbh. Even then I think beating Hunt would've probably been his peak. Maybe could beat Ngannou.

Bocivus Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 http://mmajunkie.com/2017/03/bellator-180-pay-per-view-price-set-at-49-95-for-high-definition "The Bellator 180 pay-per-view offering, “Bellator NYC,” will set you back $49.95 for the high-definition version of the company’s second pay-per-view event on June 24 at Madison Square Garden in New York City." Anyone in here going to be shelling out the money for the Bellator NYC card? Normally I'm not a huge fan of the old UFC vets fighting these days but since the feud between Wandy and Chael goes way back I'll admit I'm a bit intrigued. I like watching Chandler fight as well and I'm not fan of Lorenz Larkin so to maybe see him get beat would be nice. I'm not willing to pay $50 USD for these fights though so I'll ether hit the cigar bar or just check out the highlights. The free UFC card Sunday has some good fights lined up so I'll definitely be watching that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Down by the River Posted June 24, 2017 Share Posted June 24, 2017 I hope Tim Boetsch beats the snot out of Johnny Hendricks. Guy is like 5'8 and can't make weight at 185? The penalty for missing weight should be more than 20% of purse. Hendricks probably won the GSP fight, but given that it seems like he was juiced to the gills at that time doesn't make me feel much sympathy for him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanucksHomer Posted June 25, 2017 Share Posted June 25, 2017 (edited) Sonnen vs Wanderlei live now. Good fight so far. 5 years in the making. Mitrione TKO Emelianenko Edited June 25, 2017 by CanucksHomer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanucksHomer Posted June 25, 2017 Share Posted June 25, 2017 (edited) Sonnen taking down Wanderlei at will with the double leg. Wanderlei almost knocked Sonnen out a couple times though. Sonnen wins 30-26 30-27 30-27 in vintage Sonnen style, double leg take down and smother. Wanderlei with a poor-sport push right after the fight and one during the post-fight interview.

CanadianRugby Posted June 25, 2017 Share Posted June 25, 2017 Why is Fedor still fighting? Is he broke? He's what great fighters look like if they don't take steroids in their 30s. Silva, Henderson, Couture.. all juicers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SabreFan1 Posted July 8, 2017 Share Posted July 8, 2017 Well, tonight's UFC 213 main event just fell apart........... Amanda Nunes went to the hospital because she wasn't feeling well. The doctor said that she was clear to fight, but she said she still didn't want to fight, so Dana White had no choice but to pull the match from the card. http://www.espn.com/mma/story/_/id/19919490/amanda-nunes-pulls-main-event-prior-ufc-213 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
