Money Mendes was very impressive

 

[aqua_duck]

Or perhaps people who can see past the personality and bravado and recognise that he is probably pound for pound the best defensive fighter of all time... And probably in the conversation for greatest ever.

He's quite possibly everything Conor wishes he was... He's Conor McGregor if Conor dominated the UFC for 15years.

As a fighter, I have great respect for his ability, he's an absolute technician but as a human being he's despicable, he's a racist, bigot, unapologetic wife beater who flaunts his wealth and has to pay for the friends he has. If you can ignore that than fair enough but I can't, I mean as if Ray Rice played for the bengals I still wouldn't support the prick

People don't give Mendes the props he deserves, the guy is very good and would be a champion if he went down to bantamweight. Would love to see him fight Edgar after Edgar destroys Faber

Machida or Rockhold? Im assuming winner gets next MW Title shot unless Weidman loses

 

[Fufu Andronez]

and I reckon Machida will produce a highlight reel KO

 

[Jono078]

Always wanted to see Rockhold vs Weidman, but would be MORE than happy to see Machida kick both their asses

Because machida did such a great job if it last time round hey

Better than anyone else has. Took his time to figure him out but he finished on top.

WTF??

Machida got a beat down...

Demian Maia gave Weidman a tougher fight than Machida did...

 

[Jono078]

Weidman handled Machida in the first 3, the last 2 were very different.

 

[shiznit]

Max Holloway... What a performance!!

Cub ain't no scrub....

 

[Jono078]

Super impressive! And also Vanzant. She's got lots to improve on, but what a solid foundation!

 

[shiznit]

Not to be outdone... Rockhold just demolished Machida.

That guy is a BEAST!!!

Apart from dodgy Brazilian TRT Belfort he's been unstoppable in the division.

 

[Fufu Andronez]

Rockhold looks good would love to see him get his shot against Weidman. Oh and hi PVZ......wow

 

[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

this kid again...made jim miller look like a rookie, and so impressive when he speaks, breaks down technical elements like he's brian stanns coach, is it too early for someone like bendo or melendez? maybe michael johnson?

 

[Fufu Andronez]

Anyone catch the ultimate fighter tonight?

Best season yet IMO looks sick. Love the new format too, Blackzillians all the way! Love seeing the ufc stars of both teams getting some camera time too

 

[shiznit]

All sorts of crazy rumours going on about Jon Jones this morning... That he's out of the Rumble fight but he isn't injured...

 

[shiznit]

So the word going around is that Jon Jones was in a car accident and fled the scene on foot.

Apparently he hit a pregnant woman... And gapped it...

The police found cocaine in his car he left behind.

All of this 'allegedly' at this stage...

 

[Craig Johnston]

What a crack head
