Official MMA Appreciation Thread
 

Dude, I love Sanchez AND Brown. I hope Matt keeps fighting. I'd love to see him fight for a UFC belt.

didn't get to catch the event, normally not crazy about fight nights unless they have a stacked card, but Chula has sold me on it. will be back with my thoughts shortly.

UFC is coming to STL in the near future. Thinking about copping some tix!

wanted to see it when it came here but it was a pretty average card and the ticket prices were out of this world. will catch an event some day but will probably make a trip out of it to see one of my favourite fighters.

I've been to a bunch of local shows. Fought on a few cards. One of my buddies is a training partner of UFC fighter JAMES KRAUSE.

Oliveira vs Medeiros is fight of the year material

Oh **** what time does this finish?

the main card is starting any minute. will probably last anywhere from 2-4 hours.

edit - if you want a link i can pm you

Yeah hook man up x

Cheers Q.

Some of these female fighters are hot btw. Unbelievable physiques.

having to always wear there hair like that makes them look a lot worse than they actually do.

inb4 inevitable Paige van Zant picture from Chula.

Surprised nobody has cried about cultural appropriation tbh.

One in the white top looks like a female Iniesta lol.

i don't think anybody wants to tell the MMA girls what they can and can't do :D

would run if i walked up to a girl in the club and she turned around with a physique like that. they would snap me like a twig.

Some of these guys have ridiculous cauliflower ear. Why don't they wear headgear?

why would Eddie ever try that flipping kick :laughing:

hope he gets knocked out just for doing something that silly

Great fight. They were knackered at the end.

i've never seen swelling like Eddie had on the side of his face. looked like he was fighting with a jawbreaker in the side of his mouth :D

Gaetje will have a very short career if he continues to fight like that. you can't defend by leaning into your opponents punches, would be surprised if he doesn't have a concussion after all those head shots.

Backing the Reem.

#TeamReem

hahahahaaha

Damn.

Bit gutted for Overeem as I'm a fan

Great breakdown from Holloway, hopefully Aldo will move up to 155 after a trilogy fight

Can't even remember the last time I caught a Cyborg bout, hyped not watching live this time though

I feel like Holm could catch her though, she has the legs for it

:tramp:

Damn, missed last night's PFV.

Anyone watching Bellator 206? 2 really good fights going on.

Gegard Mousasi vs. Rory MacDonald

Quinton “Rampage” Jackson vs. Wanderlei Silva

Rampage weighed in almost 30 pounds heavier than Wandy. Wandy is gonna kill him, again.

I think Rory is gonna beat Mousasi, probably by decision.

I think Rampage should retire. I know he wont because he wants the paycheck and loves fighting but he is like a shadow of his former self. He sure is entertaining though. At this point he seems to just be incurring brain damage.

He will exhaust his opportunities in the U.S., then go do freak show fights in Japan, like Bob Sapp. Chuck and Tito are fighting again, so apparently nostalgia plays a large part in medical clearances for fighters LOL.

McGregor got his ass whooped and his corner got some too lol

Can a mod merge the threads please? We have three threads discussing this.

Khabib is a crybaby, a classless man and a victim.

Conor came out of it really well. Love Conor.

Conor has class?

Yes.

http://c0.thejournal.ie/media/2015/1...ab-390x285.png

That IS pretty classy. My bad.

Pretty cool that Conor refused to press charges.

The only classless dude last night was Dillon Danis. Total punk.

Na Khabib is a classless guy, and a victim.

Splain please. Not to mention the bus incident, Connor and his team have been attacking Khabib's family, religion, country, and his skill set non-stop for months. Dude finally snapped. And he put a major beat down on Conner, who looked, for the most part, like he didn't belong in the same cage with Khabib.

The official numbers after the fight back up the extent of the beat down.

I love Connor as much as the next guy, he's been so great for MMA (for the most part) but he picked the wrong guy to piss off this time.

27-0 in the cage and has only lost a single round in all of his fights? Screw Matt Hughes, GSP, Anderson Silva, Demetrius Johnson, Et Al. Khabib is the baddest man to ever step into the octagon.

Sounds like Khabib can't take a joke. After he won, he could have just shook Conor's hand. I'm sure Conor would have been gracious in defeat.

But no he jumped out the cage and started attacking guys.

A win for Conor imo.

Attacking one's family and religion is not a joke for a lot of people. Especially someone with Khabib's background. If not for the idiot in Connor's corner it would have ended well.

'My fighter is getting his ass kicked. Guess I'll just rain constant extreme personal insults against the guy beating my guy.' Mistake.

Love Connor. Gained a ****load of respect for what Khabib brings. He made Connor look really bad. A re-match is completely un-warranted. The fight wasn't even close. Khabib destroyed him.

Fighters trash talk all the time. Khabib couldn't take the bants. Conor :cool:

Fighters dont call his people and father whom he still lives with rat terrorist trash and throw a large metal dolly at the bus they are inside shattering glass all over everyone.

I would say what Khabib did was stupid, but completely deserved by CM and his team. It is a different culture where Khabib is from and you just dont say/do that kind of stuff if you dont want some reaction.

Seriously the fact that people say Connor is a victim here is crazy to me. Khabib jumped the fence and tried to hit Dillon Dannis...thats nothing compared to all the **** Connor has pulled with no repercussions from the UFC. Yes Connor got hit in the back of the head after the fight but that wasn't Khabib.

Dana White knew this was a possibility but didnt care because of all the money the UFC made. I mean using the dolly video as the main promo for this card... lol come on.




All that aside HOLY **** I dont know who can beat this dude? If Ferguson cant maybe Ortega or Ben Askren?
