Nah, I'd say allow the leg kicks, make it full kickboxing rules but no thai clinchwork. All Mayweather would have to do is learn to defend kicks. Leg kicks you pretty much check em or counter with shyt like overhand rights. Besides, Conor's kicks aren't that powerful to begin with, that, and he has too much ego to sit back and try to take the easy way out, he'll stand and box with Floyd just because.

When floyd got punched in the thigh by canelo it took him a few days to recover.

Also, working his shin and learning how to check would probably take him months.

But yeah, whatever the rules are, Conor would probably try to box.

I wasn't looking forward to seeing BJ get molly whopped so I guess it's a good thing. Time to hang it up for real.

Lol dude clearly didn't want to fight

That whole Bellator show

Can't remember the last time Bellator really had a great fight.

That Henderson vs Koreshkov fight was entertaining, but very one-sided. They've only really had two good shows (the Henderson vs Koreshkov card, the one after the Kimbo card) in the last five months. They gotta stop featuring their journeymen fighters, they have so many fat, unexciting heavyweights that they love featuring for some reason

Kosher and Kenny Charismatic get into Captain America The Civil War. Kosher tells Kenny that the movie is all about Becky with the long hair, oops he means Bucky. He feels Captain dropped his shield for a cape and is out here changing his name to Capetain. Kenny feels the movie was done well and it delievered on giving everyone screen time but it did not stay true to the comics. Kosher says the horror/scary movie genre is alive and well with a new direction/plot that can be explored. Kosher and Kenny give their take on the rumors of Mayweather vs Mcgregor and if the fight happens bet the bank on Floyd.

Let's see if Stipe can avoid that HW jinx.

Let's see if Stipe can avoid that HW jinx.

Let's see if Overeem can avoid that HW jinx after beating Stipe.

I don't see Overeem losing right now, he's probably the smartest heavyweight the way he fights right now, really cautious, looking for counter shots and not taking much chances.

Stipe has shown some good precision against werdum, that KO punch landed perfectly, but striking-wise Overeem remains king of the division to me.

Stipe being the favorite in Vegas. They really think he's gonna find Overeem's chin... Fight being in Cleveland does place an interesting dynamic tho I must admit. I still got Reem tho

At the end of the day it's still 245-250lb men in 4 oz gloves so anything can happen but I got Overreem winning this comfortably.

I hear you, you should put some money down

 

[Amare's Right Hook]

He's going to get retired

 

[pez]

I can never bet on an Overeem fight. He's so volatile. I can see him destroying Stipe, eeking a decision, losing a decision or getting KOed.

 

[Mr.Logic]

Often, Overeem is winning the fight and out the blue he gets clocked and the fight is over...

 

[LinusCaldwell]

We basically saw this fight when he fought JDS. Even to some extent the Arlovski fight. Arlovski had to have known the Reem plan and he still lost. I think this is a safe bet for Reem.
