cosanostra Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 Not the best event of all time but a few memorable moments. Bektic looked decent, needs a step up in class. Struve looked like a giant fighting a normal bloke. That rolling d'arce finish was pretty cool. Needs to start fighting top 10 guys if he's ever going to challenge. Manuwa is not bad at all. Seems to have lost to every top 5 guy he's faced so maybe destined to be 5-10 guy but just not good enough to challenge the best few. OSP - I don't rate him. He's a phenomenal athlete but he's more about power and strength than talent. He's as highly ranked as he'll get. Gegard beat a TRT free Belfort. Big deal. Needs a step up in class and Belfort should retire. He's a couple of losses behind Bigfoot Silva in the human punchbag game but he'll get there. He's got nothing left to offer IMO and is just trying to get paid before the inevitable. USADA ended his chances of being champ again. Spent force. Best of all by miles was the main event. What a scrap that was. If it was a fight, you'd have to say that Hendo won by miles. All of the big moments came from him but he couldn't get his ground and pound on and put the mouthpiece away. The round by round scoring system is a tough won to call and you can see why the judges thought Bisping won at least 3 rounds. I hate decisions like this as there was clearly only one winner of the fight but the loser did possibly win 3 rounds, if that makes sense. Bisping was lucky not to have a point removed for the two ball kicks. Very poor from him and the ref has to see that first one. Bisping going in hard on every middleweight contender in the interview was hilarious. I hope for his sake he doesn't get Jacare next because he'll lose badly. Scary dude.

vegas-voss Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 Just back from the Manchester Arena.No problem with them giving the win to Bisping but 49-46 judge i have no idea how he can give that.I think it could easily have been a tie as the last round was close but for Octogon control i can see why they gave it to Bisping and some ****ing heart by the guy as well.

Generic Username Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 Nearly 47 years of age hardly surprising Indeed, which is why it was so surprising. He was out on his feet in his last 5 rounder as well. Would have thought they'd want to break down the body and make Henderson drop that right hand to take the power out it/easier to see coming. Some career he's had but. Think he'd have had Bisping finished if he was a couple of years younger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sten Guns Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 Agree with a lot of these posts with the exception that there should have been a 10 8 round. Don't agree with that at all.

Not a lot of time to recover from knee surgery and address all the flaws in your game that were exposed in your last fight. As for the Cyborg thing, I can't ever see it happening.

Agreed i think this fight will be her last whatever.Her redemption or meak exit from the game. I actually think she is more someone who craves stardom and adulation over fighting and her star has pretty much wained since her loss.

I actually think she is more someone who craves stardom and adulation over fighting and her star has pretty much wained since her loss. I'm fairly confident in saying her return will smash anything McGregor has done in terms of box office numbers. As good as he is at driving up the numbers, there's no doubt she had genuine superstar/world wide appeal. If she gets her arse handed to her she'll walk away with a lot of money to soften the blow. It'll be interesting to hear her chat in the lead up to the fight because she'll have a lot of tough questions to answer. Hopefully someone also asks her what on earth is she doing letting Travis Browne pump her?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sten Guns Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 Nunes is a decent match up for Ronda IMO. I think she's best when someone comes at her. With Holly, Ronda had to do the chasing and it didn't work whatsoever. As always with MMA, anything can happen I suppose, but I wouldn't be surprised with a quick Ronda arm bar after Nunes dives in.

Generic Username Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 Watch the way Nunes snaps with her jabs. Exactly the kind of thing Ronda didn't deal with against Holm. I'm totally unconvinced by her coaches after the pish they were giving her after the first round of her last fight. It's going to be hard, hard work. Especially after so long off. Prefer the fight to go a couple of rounds but saying that is the kiss of death! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cosanostra Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 Ronda v Cyborg will never happen IMO. Ronda has no chance of beating her at 140 or 145 and Cyborg is way too muscular to get down to 135. Those roided up muscles will be there for a while yet. Ronda would be mad to take the fight. Nunes is quite scary. Proper knock out power as well. Hard to see Ronda beating her. Ronda has apparently started as bookies favourite although I've no idea what her odds are. Crazy if so.

vegas-voss Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 GSP says he's terminated his contract with UFC and now a free agent. I expect bellator to come calling. Whilst the UFC states he can't terminate due to contract issue. A bit of battle and GSP back for s fight in UFC on Conor Type money. Would like to see GSP back Dont know why they dont just release him as all that Dana has done is belittle him for a year now.Cant stand Dana White anymore.

vegas-voss Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 They won't release him because he would make a competitor a lot of money. i suspect the problem is the UFC don't want to pay him what he wants. I think I heard on a fighter and kid podcast,the disputes centres around sponsorship. His deal was pre reebok where fighter sporsership was allowed. GSP made fortunes in fighter sponsorship and wants recompessed for that loss. Dana not so keen. I see UFC denying he's a free agent and stating he's under contract. Little doubt this is negotiating tactic by GSP to move things along. I don't mine Dana, but agree he can be an arse and goes way over too at time. Guess that part of reason he's a very good promoter. If they get things sorted not sure I would like to see GSP return against. No interest in him fighting Anderson now, we've seen Anderson beaten enough that the time for that fight has past. Nick Diaz would be interesting/fun but I've seen it and it wasn't all that close. Winner of Woodley/Wonder boy probably makes most sense in someways. Though big ask after time out straight to title fight. Yeah think he has or had a big sponsorship deal with Under Armour Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RS86 Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 Clever move by GSP I reckon. If UFC argue he has a valid contract with them which is not void and force him to stay as a UFC fighter then they are going to have to honour any terms within it I believe, otherwise he can walk away as they have attempted to change the terms of the agreement (assuming of course that the sponsorship rights is mentioned in any agreement he has with them) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
