UFC 187 is looking a must watch - Jones v Johnson for the LHW Title. Weidman v Belfort for MW Title. Cerrone v Nurmagomedov. Three very good fights.

If McGregor v Aldo at 189 wasn't enough, MacDonald v Lawler for the WW Title added.

how is this not the main event now?

Apparently they kept Aldo v McGregor as the main event. More hype I guess even though heavier weight classes usually get priority.

i don't hate him, i regard him highly as a challenger/gatekeeper level fighter.

he's only the main card because the ufc are milking suckers like you on their hype machine,....but you already knew that didn't you :lol:

That, too.

But Mir, imo, never got out of first gear.

he did with his mouth, man that guy talks some utter bullshit, wouldn't be surprised if he was taking the same stuff as nick diaz

His post fight interview was just dribble wasnt it. He answered the last question and just kept talking and talking. Sounded like an Anthony Robbins seminar at one point

Don't get me wrong - the guy is a twat.

But he's a great fighter.

was..... he needs more than a victory over a pedless silva to convince me he's got his head right for good, + father time is calling on him fast. the points above is that he still seems to have his head pretty f**ked up

the way he was manhandled in his last 3 fights was not good.

Fair points.

Time will tell how he handles his comeback.

Rhonda's last two fights have totalled 30Secs combined.

Well done Zingano. Yawn

 

[The Cobra]

Didn't see the fight but I thought Zingano would have put up a better showing.I really don't think these other girls realise how REALLY F&%KEN good that Rousey is until she hurls them to the mat & tries to snap their arm.

I watched it on a stream because f**k paying money for that card. I never understand the game plan against Rousey. She is world class when it comes to Judo yet people rush in and clinch with her. If I'm a couch of a fighter that is facing her I'm telling them to do anything and everything to not let her get hold of you.
When it comes to her next fight she says there is a lot of fights to take but realistically the only one there is Tate and even Miesha would admit that she should fight a few more fights before she gets a third shot at Rousey. So let's see Cyborg vs Rousey in a 140 pound super fight.

f**k 140... Make that juiced up gorilla go down like everyone else...

 

[ggmu]

f**k 140... Make that juiced up gorilla go down like everyone else...

She fights at 145 why not meet in the middle? It's literally the only fight that that fans are interested in seeing. In a perfect world yes she would drop down and fight for the title. But f**k the title and f**k weight classes just fight each other and prove which one is the best.
