zendragon Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 that would be a really nice moment for Aldo to go out on. Felt the Champ did enough to keep his belt, fun show that was obviously a come down card after UFC 300 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaedmc Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 A real bummer for Martinez, who I hoped would be able to rise to the occasion. He was going with his leg kicks in the first, Aldo checked one and Martinez didn't go back to it again until sometime in the 3rd. I don't think that's necessarily because of the check, but because it became apparent that Aldo was too fast and had figured out his timing. I knew it was going to be a tough night because I don't think Aldo has looked bad in any of his fights at this weight. He lost steam against Merab and people thought that was age, but now we know everyone loses steam against Merab because he is fucking inhuman. I think Aldo fights at least once more. They were trying to get Cruz and I think that fight still makes sense for a big show later this year. How about UNDEFEATED ANTHONY SMITH?! That shit killed me.

jaedmc Posted May 12 Share Posted May 12 Just sped through the show to see what I missed. Chase Hooper absolutely dominated his fight, and I actually think him vs. Paddy would be a really fun matchup. I feel like it won't be on the horizon any time soon, as Paddy is probably looking exclusively at Top 15 guys now until someone shuts him down. Regardless Hooper has leveled up his game, and is still only 24 and could get much better. Joaquin Buckley had a fun night at the office in front of his home town. Good for him. I actually love the crowd deflating when he said Connor's name. It's so hard to even get Connor to the cage, you might as well call out Richard Nixon or the Dalai Lama. Derrick Lewis did Derrick Lewis things. National treasure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The best was she did it once, and as soon as the ref warned her she was like "I got a better one in me." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaedmc Posted May 18 Share Posted May 18 Suprises continue. Angela Hill enters the Top 10 via the first submission victory of her career. I don't think she's ever been Top 10. Congrats to Overkill. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaedmc Posted May 19 Share Posted May 19 I want to believe in Themba Gorimbo. Heartbreaking post fight speech, about robbing his wrestling coach of his last moments with his mother. She passed away from cancer I believe yesterday or the day before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
