cosanostra Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 Well that went as expected. GGG beat the shit out of Lemiuex. GGG V Cotto after Cotto's next defence I'd imagine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure GGG will get the Cotto fight. There is a high chance that Cotto will lose to Alvarez. Hope he doesn't but I think he'll lose.

cosanostra Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 The retirement might be Brendan Schaub. He was pretty decent. Certainly had his moments. v Gonzaga and v Cro Cop he was great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ribble Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 Is there anyone else at middleweight who could realistically challenge GGG or might he consider moving up to super middle? Eubank Jnr wants a shot at him, to be honest while not a huge fan of Jnr I do think he's better technically and faster than Lemiuex so could cause GGG problems without having the power to actually beat him. From the GGG undercard on saturday, how good was Roman Gonzales? now 44-0 (38KO) and only 28!! Could beat Mayweather & Marciano's perfect 49-0 by the time he's 30!

Ranked Number 1 pound for pound in the world.Probably doesnt make the kind of cash that would allow him to retire at say 50 undefeated though so will no doubt fight a lot longer and end up with a few losses on his record.

cosanostra Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 So who are the best Scottish fighters and how many have been retained by UFC? I've only heard of the guy who fought on the undercard of the Glasgow fight. Stevie something. Never actually seen the guy so no idea if he's up to much.

rustyboy Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 Stevie Ray is one to watch, got potential to go far in the ufc. As does Whiteford and Calderwood really. They are safe in the UFC for a good while yet. Really excited for the Ray and Whiteford fights this weekend. The card does look weak, but that doesn't mean the fights won't be entertaining, give people the chance to make a name for themselves.

vegas-voss Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 Calderwood's next fight should be a good one against Van Zant all action i would expect.Might even lead to a title shot whoever wins that but to be honest both would be destroyed by Joanna Jedrzejczyk.Only Claudia Gadelha looks close to her in the division.

I dont think many can stand McGregor but he does do is give them a huge payday for now at least.I dont buy into the Connor hype he is a very good striker but his ground game is very limited and the very best have a ground game to match their striking.

vegas-voss Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 Mendez showed that if he's taken down, he doesn't have much of an answer.Exactly and thats why i think if he moves up to a higher weight he will be badly exposed.At this weight he is the bully at the higher weight he is the small guy that cannot cope on the ground.Think i am in the minority with fight fans at least in the UK anyway in that i think Aldo is better than Connor.Most fighters and pundits seem to think that Aldo will win as well.
