Essential The Official MMA Thread

[Roman Brady]

I dont doubt Cormier has quickness and if he can get inside he can damage Jones. But you no who else had those attributes? Evans. He did shyt. Lyto also had that and he got choked out. Cormier has never faced anyone like Jones. Jones has faced guys like Cormier before. Cormier has never been in championship rounds either. Who knows what his gas tank is like. And stop talking like Gus dominated Jones wrestling. He got one TD in over 11 tries and it was a pure struggle one

we just have to see how both fighters handled henderson to know that cormier and rashad are not the same. Cormier has also never been taken down or lost more than a round in his mma career rashad cant boast that. Cormier is most likely the better wrestler and is certainly much stronger so I wouldnt make any rash comparisons. And while lyoto has brute strength he aint a wrestler nor did he attempt a TD so why mention him? your point about cormier untested gas tank is valid but like grazie says "theres only one way to find out"

i usually turn off a stream or ff to the end when i get a sense its goin to be another mechanical performance but the last dos santo fight felt that way

So you admit you didn't watch the fight? How many of Cain's fights have you watched?

Once again, Roman Brady reminding us why he's one of the worst posters on this board.

That smothering/boring style of Cain, mostly on the ground, cruising to a decision victory:

You still haven't explained how this statement makes any sense:

To me a one sided beatdown thats monotonous mostly taking place on the ground in a smothering fashion with the dominant fighter just staying the course never att a sub or something for 5 rounds doesnt make for a good watch

 

[Roman Brady]

You still haven't explained how this statement makes any sense:

cuz it was pertaining to the 3rd dos santos/cain fight which felt like a 100 year beatdown

never let poor reading comprehension get in the way of making your point

But that's just one example and a terrible one at that.

You can't be serious. Cormier outweighed Hendo by at least 20lbs fight night. Thats not fair at all. The issue isn't whos stronger,the better wrestler, or whos lost rounds between Evans/Cormier. They both have similar footwork/boxing who happen to be wrestlers. And like most of Jones opponents they have a serious reach advantage. Why is this even a debate? You seriously think Cormier is going to get past that reach and tag him for 5 straight rounds?

Stop.

You described Cain's style as:

A one sided beatdown thats monotonous mostly taking place on the ground in a smothering fashion with the dominant fighter just staying the course never att a sub or something for 5 rounds doesnt make for a good watch

Which is completely false.

Now

i believe that convo was pertaining to fact it would be a wasted effort getting into a debate on what constitutes as exciting considering one of your fav fighters is gsp who i find absolutely boring

So Cormier is going to rush in head down for a power double like Sonnen now? And one TD in nearly 5 years of fighting translate to him losing wrestling skills. I see you've ran out of logic and resorting to trolling now

No. You made a completely false statement regarding Cain's fighting style. I'm still waiting for you to prove how that above-mentioned statement makes any sense or is true, even in the slightest.

GSP is not one of my favorite fighters and I never said he was exciting. Not only are you dodging the subject here, you're making up complete bullshyt along the way.
