Essential The Official MMA Thread

[Screwface Exchange]

You're entitled to your opinion, but this post is way off base.

Post was pretty spot on, I'm not saying it wasn't fun or entertaining watching JDS mash up Hunt, but really compared to the last few cards they've put out, this one seemed water down.

We've all been watching Dana n Joe silva try to build up Glover as the future num1 contender after Gus, but come on, give the guy a real test already. its not like hes a youngin or sumthin, he has tonnes of experience already, lets give em a real test. At da very least, let em fight a gatekeeper like Bader, or put em in wit a wrestler like Phil davis to really test his take down defense. I dunno, I'm just really expecting more than a Te huna, to me that fight was pointless and just seemed like giving the guy a fight to boost his record and highlight real.

i know alot of you guys are huge Hunt fans, but his best days are behind him, he's up there in age and he's proven that he's a borderline gate keeper at HW. Yeah he's tough as nails, but he's never going to be a champ or fight for the belt, He hasn't beaten anybody who's matter in over 5 years. To put him in a fight against da previous champ really is a joke. I look at a guy like Frankie Edgar, who after losing gets another title shot, and then look at JDS after losing fighting a Mark Hunt, and its like come on UFC trying to hard to build back up JDS and give him an easy out. More and more UFC promotion is starting to feel like boxing, and not how the UFC use to be.

And even the TJ Grant fight, was nice for him to finally get a top 10 fight, but don't give him the title shot after 1 win in the top 10. Let him fight another top guy, then maybe title shot. Outside of Maynard, his last wins are guys like roller n prato, that shouldnt be a num1 contender. Would love to see Tj vs Thomson for num1 contender fight, put that on ufc on fox as 5 rnd main fight n then really let the free tv fans see 2 guys go at it, and then come in ring after, Bendo n announce title fight and hopefully the free fans now will pay to see the guy they just watched win, go against the champ.

Maybe its just after watching UFC n Pride in the golden yrs its hard to watch what MMA is starting to become now.

 

[So UnThotful]

Hunt is a novelty fighter. Pride stans cant let go. He lost every fight he had for 4 years including his first ufc fight. Hes too old and may just need to train up and comers.

4 out of 5 of them are former champs in repsected divisions during his losing streak
(barnett,fedor, overeem,Manoof&mousasi)

but the run is over, i know dude has the drive to continue to compete but i think Hunt should hang it up

And of course, Cain vs Bigfoot, did we really need to see this fight again? Cain thoroughly and convincingly beat em da 1st time, so why oh why did we need to see this fight, or 30 secs again. Seemed more like it was a poor excuse to say this is HW belt ppv card. I can understand rematches when they make sense, god knows Edgar n bendo have had many close fights, but really why waste the fans time wit this rematch when I'm sure the Bendo vs Pettis 2 wldve been more entertaining that this crap.

 

[The G.O.D II]

GSP is so fukking shook to fight Silva its embarrassing. Basically told Dana its not even worth entertaining a superfight now because he guarantees Weidman will beat him. I wonder what excuse he will concoct if Silva wins

he doesnt want it, i mean this is a guy who is used to fighting guys who weigh 15-20 pounds less then he does on fight night

thats his biggest advantage

“We had a good conversation,” White said. “He 100 percent, absolutely, positively knows that Weidman is going to beat Anderson Silva. No doubt in his mind that the fight with [Silva] won’t happen because Weidman is going to win. There’s no ‘what if’ for him. He absolutely, positively knows [Weidman] is going to win that fight.”

 

[Mr. Somebody]

Weidman and GSP are friends and have the same bjj lineage.

Then again GSP said edgar was best PVP on the Earth.

 

[pez]

GSP vs Silva won't happen. So over it. What about Silva vs Jones though?

I doubt either fight happens.

 

[Lakers Offseason]

GSP knows Silva would murder him.

 

[Lakers Offseason]

lmao got the names mixed up...but yeah cot damn. I'm shocked the ref didn't stop it earlier than he did cuz that shyt was crucial.

 

[Mr. Somebody]

The way Maynard had a seat with his hand there.

 

[Mr. Somebody]

Cain seems like a good guy.

 

[p00rky]

I remember when people were all upset over Cain's "Brown Pride" tattoo. Calling him racist even though his wife is white and he trains with non Latinos at his gym. Now everyone is a Cain fan lol

I never saw one Black or Latino calling Cain out

It was whites who were catching feelings (as usual)... Call it what it was.

In fact whenever there is a threat to their perceived 'superiority' they catch feelings... Its the same reason why they hate Jones and prey for the downfall of the Blackzilians camp.
