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.

Because there's no 145 woman's division in the UFC...

I can understand Rouseys dominance has caused an eagerness to see a challenge...

But why the hell should the champ have to go up in weight to fight a challenger when there isn't even a title at 140 for her to fight for...

She gains absolutely nothing from going up... Cyroid has everything to gain by fighting at a catch weight...

If Cyroid is having trouble making weight... Maybe she should consider getting rid of her testicles...

Rousey is so far ahead of any other female fighter. Honestly don't know what they can do with her, can't wait for the entourage movie though

 

[Craig Johnston]

I think both Tate and cigano can give rousey a better fight, they're just guilty of buying into the hype of rouseys apparent invincibility and doing stupid shit to try and overcome her, doesn't do woman's mma any favours IMO

Very good card this Sunday
Pettis v Dos Anjos
Esparza v Jedrzejczyk
Hendricks v Brown
Nelson v Overeem
Cariaso v Cejudo

 

[Fufu Andronez]

Matt Brown and Hendricks is the one to watch for me, fight of the year contender?

 

[andrew057]

Massive fan of Pettis. Love watching him fight.

 

[AusKnightRKO]

He just got dismantled over a 25 minute period.

 

[aqua_duck]

Dos Anjos absolutely dominated him

 

[Jono078]

Put on a clinic.

Well done to him.

I don't think he'll be the champ by the end of the year though.

 

[andrew057]

Superb performance for RDA.

Pettis will be back.

 

[Fufu Andronez]

Amazing win by RDA

 

[Craig Johnston]

was anyone else really impressed with beneil dariush's dismantling of detroit superstar daron cruickshank? i didn't see it but htf did ramsey nijem get a victory over him?

this kid is defensively solid, and technically gifted. would love to see his next step up against someone like masvidal or barbosa

 

[Craig Johnston]

bon voyage josh koshcheck.

i know alot of people would have hated maia's win over laflare, but i loved it, a master technician at work.

 

[aqua_duck]

I hate lay and pray as much as anyone but Maia definitely doesn't just lay and pray, he's constantly advancing position, getting into positions for submissions, it was a BJJ clinic and sure Laflare must've felt as if he was drowning

Has anyone been watching the promotional tour for Aldo v McGregor... It's been hilarious... :lol:

Conor is seriously stirring Aldo up... It's really funny to watch.

Hopefully he can back it up...

 

[shiznit]

If you've got a spare 30-45mins I recommend watching the embedded episodes... They are very funny...

I'll post them up...

How has he 'got' Aldo? He grabbed a fake belt ffs and called him out behind a locked glass door lol

He's been rightfully treated as the clown he is

It's Conor... He's drinking his own kool-aid...

How can you not be entertained though....

My god... Could you imagine if he won... :lol:

If he ends up being the real deal?? :lol:

I loved his answer to the question on if Frankie was more worthy of the shot... He just brushed with a comment like... "Please... I make more in my show money than the six hundred thousand viewers Frankie had on his last show..."

Then Frankie tweeted back...something like..."actually we got 900K for our show... But yeah probably still less than his show money..." :lol:

I think Frankie and co have come to the realisation that he's good for the division... They will all make money from him I think...

 

[Fufu Andronez]

He's quite interesting Conor. Doing a good job of generating interest but it's a bit early isn't it? Isn't the fight still 4 months away?
