Yeah... He looked awesome this morning.

I'm a big fan of his... I think he's gonna shoot up the FW rankings

 

[Fufu Andronez]

He's good but I didn't like his tactic of going for a hand tap at the start and sneaking a spin kick to the body. Doesn't need that shit.

Brandao was pretty awful too, he should get a top contender next, maybe Frankie

I don't think he was doing the hand tap... That's just his fighting stance.

He's real unorthodox so I thought Brandao assumed with his hand there he was going to tap hands so he went to do it.

I do agree though... If he did fake it... That's pretty bad

 

[shiznit]

Actually looking on sherdog...

Connor originally asked Brandao to touch gloves.. But Brandao clearly says no..

But I can see why there's some confusion... Connors holds his lead hand right out there... Which does look like he's touching gloves...

 

[shiznit]

To anyone that's interested... Rickson Gracie and Eddie Bravo will be on the Joe Rogan podcast tomorrow.

 

[Fufu Andronez]

To me that hand tap/spinning kick still looks very shady. Oh well no harm done I guess and nothing illegal about it.

Gustafson out injured, Cormier to fight Jon Jones at UFC 178

 

[shiznit]

Obviously injuries could play havoc with it...

But that card is STACKED!!!

Cormier v Jones
Dominic Cruz comeback...
Cat Zingano's comeback...
CONNER MCGREGOR VS DUSTIN PORIER!!!

f**king crazy!!

And it's a week after Hunt v Big Cointry!!!

Looking forward to Lawler ending Matt Brownes win streak this weekend, should be a good fight.

Booby Green vs Josh Thomson should be a decent scrap as well.

I enjoy watching Matt Brown and his fighting style especially his pace and how he likes to finish fights. Never really understand the push for the title so early. Hasn't fought any of the top blokes in the division.

Lawler to get it done on Sunday with experience. Exciting fight though. Very good card too.

 

[shiznit]

In the words of Joe Rogan...

Matt Brown is a SAVAGE!!

Lol... But so is Robbie Lawler!!

Great f**king fight!!

 

[Jono078]

All of a sudden there's so many matches I want to see Jon Jones in.

Versing Cormier. Re-match with Gus. And now the one I really want to see..

Jones Vs Anthony "Rumble" Johnson. That guy is a beast!

 

[Fufu Andronez]

Rumble Johnson is a BEAST!!

Jones, Cormier Gustafson watch out!

 

[shiznit]

Rumble is just terrifying... How on f**king earth did he make welterweight.

 

[shiznit]

What a f**king fight that was!!

I give it to Lawler... But Brown loses nothing... He's an ANIMAL!!

Lawler will move on to the Hendricks rematch...

But give Brown Rory McDonald!!

Yep, that's the next #1 contender fight. MacDonald Vs Brown.

Anderson Silva vs Nick Diaz is set. Dont know how i feel about the fight, think Anderson should of just retired. Money is Money tho.

40 yrs old coming back from a broken leg, I think Nick will destroy him.

 

[shiznit]

I f**king love it... I love Nick Diaz...

I respect Anderson Silva...

I actually think Anderson wins via something spectacular.

He's just too big for Diaz I think.

But I love the match up though... the cryptonite to both of these dudes is to wrestlef**k them to death...

But neither of these dudes will do that... So it's really a clash of striking styles... Volume and Precision from Diaz VS Power, Technique and Precision from Anderson.

Can Nick use his outrageous cardio and take Anderson in to the deep water and drown him like he's done with many guys.... Or is standing and trading in front of Anderson still asking to be knocked out in spectacular fashion... I suspect The latter will be the outcome.

I don't see anyway Nick destroys him.
I see Nick as one of the most over rated fighters in MMA today. He's a top 5 guy but I've never seen a bloke who gets what he wants through talk rather than results more than him. Honestly who has he beat in the past 5 years? Washed up BJ fighting 2 weight classes above what he should've been, Semtex Daley and Cyborg (2 average guys at best), KJ Noons (decent fighter but nowhere near a top 5 WW) and a few blokes I've never heard of.

 

[Jack_Napier]

Anderson will just light nick up if he just keeps walking forward like he did to Condit. Don't think cardio is going to be an issue as Anderson will have it done before the 3rd begins IMO. Like Shiz said he'll be too big and I think far too precise. Love it tho, 2 dudes who will throw some spectacular shit.
