jaedmc Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 I'm very interested in an Ankalaev vs. Perreira fight. Despite the wonky fight against Jan Blachowicz, Magomed still feels like one of the scariest most complete guys in the division. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hammerva Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 I think nothing says more about the current UFC product that the only reason why people even known there is a show this weekend is because of Sean Strickland being a complete hateful scumbag in a press conference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magny is a very tough fight if you're not a high level prospect. Malott just let him hang around, and Magny worked his way back into the fight. It was academic from there.

Craig H Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 I thought round 1 was close, but I could see giving that to the bigoted bum, 2-4 looked like they were all DDP's rounds, and 5 I thought the bigot edged DDP out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elsalvajeloco Posted January 21 Author Share Posted January 21 I totally expected calls of robbery but I guess Strickland knew that fight was too close for comfort too. Now we can finally move on to Du Plessis vs. Adesanya for the entire continent of Africa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig H Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 I'm happy DDP won, but to be honest, neither guy gave me any reason to believe Izzy isn't taking his title back unless the dude is just shot. I don't think that's the case, but he's been fighting in various forms for a long ass time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Natural Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 (edited) I thought Sean Strickland won but I've been up all night and I'm tired as fuck. Dana White had it 2-2 going into the 5th and gave it to Strickland as I did. Looking online how close people have it one way or another reminds me of Frankie Edgar/Gray Maynard 2 (scored that to Edgar) and Dominick Cruz/TJ Dillashaw (scored that to Cruz).

The Natural Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 (edited) Speaking of Frankie Edgar, congratulations on the UFC Hall of Fame. Edgar/Maynard 2 is in my top three MMA fights ever. Love that fight. I'm still pissed at Frankie Edgar getting robbed by Benson Henderson in their rematch. No wonder Edgar threw his hat at the fence. Edgar would have stayed at Lightweight before moving down. Shame Edgar couldn't beat Jose Aldo for the UFC Featherweight Championship. Always fought he'd go straight from Lightweight to Bantamweight.

hammerva Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 Because it was decision and it is current UFC, there will definitely be 2 more fights between the two. Plus I would be stunned if Strickland isn't on every right wing show possible giving the Colby excuse. Enjoy it now because he isn't going away. Dana will make sure of that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
