jaedmc Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 She's crazy but I like it. What's even crazier is that we might be on the verge of Holly Holm winning the world title again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twiztor Posted June 13, 2023 Share Posted June 13, 2023 wow, what a career for Amanda Nunes. something that i never see mentioned is that she is the ONLY ufc double champion that subsequently defended both belts. Every other double champ picked a division and stayed there, nobody else would hop back and forth. i know the WFW division isn't much of a division at all, but she beat every potential challenger that came through: Cyborg, Megan Anderson, and Felicia Spencer. Plus former champ GdR (at BW). for a non-division, that's pretty damn great. and her BW run is legendary. every former champ: Rousey, Holm, Tate, and (technically she's a former champ as well) Pena. Plus top it all off with two wins over another all-time great, Valentina Shevchenko. what a run. and yeah, Charles Oliveira is that dude. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaedmc Posted June 24, 2023 Share Posted June 24, 2023 Psycho Vampire Maycee Barber was good to see. When they were announcing a winner Amanda Ribas looked like she was hoping for a decision to go her way... despite getting stopped in the 2nd. Austen Lane went full 3 Stooges in his debut, with a nasty eye poke. David Onama had a gnarly uppercut KO after landing some thick ass elbows. Fun show.

Yeah, I think Ribas got knocked loopy to the point she didn't realize what happened. She also has an unique sense of humor. Anyway, where has that Maycee Barber been? I expected her to lose a one sided decision to Ribas. This has to be the first time she really put it together against a quality opponent. 3 hours ago, jaedmc said: Austen Lane went full 3 Stooges in his debut, with a nasty eye poke.

Should have came out with Tony Khan to really sell it. He did go full pro wrestling by trying take out Justin Tafa's eyeball. Poor Gabriel Santos was winning handily and having a coming out party. Then Onama hit with an upper cut from hell and spoiled the shit out of that party. Ilia Topuria got a good win over a tough out and looked sharp. However, I would like to see him in against some of the top tier names at 145. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Max makes a lot of sense, but I can also see them just maneuvering Topuria around Max, just so they can avoid the same kind of logjam Adesanya is dealing with because of Robert Whitaker. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
