Zero Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 Still don't know if Connor has enough to beat a Frankie Edgar or Chad Mendes.. He got taken down by Dennis Siver. He doesn't. Yeah, all the "he trains with Gunnar!!!" replies ain't going to help him. Dana and company have known it is his weakness since the beginning, hence this "amazing" run. If Edgar or Mendes got on those legs, he'd be down the whole round. He got taken down and easily got up to his feet and slipped his legs out. So what? Siver has no wrestling. Like really none. Imagine somebody who has wrestled mostly their entire life, taking you down and being on top. It's a big difference then a fading aging former steroid abusing german kickboxer.

Pete Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 Yeah, McGregor may have gotten taken down but you never got the impression he was in any trouble. It was almost like he allowed Siver to do it just for shits and giggles. Anyone figure out what exactly happened during the instructions for them to black out the screen?

Elsalvajeloco Posted January 19, 2015 Author Share Posted January 19, 2015 Anyone figure out what exactly happened during the instructions for them to black out the screen? Middle finger. Anytime there is partial nudity, a swear word, or a middle finger, we get the cutaway screen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you literally missed Frankie Edgar's entire UFC run? Remember the "no one gets BJ Penn down and makes him stay down" thoughts? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funnily enough they didn't cut away on TSN in Canada, who used to cut away from so much stuff when they had WWE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good to see some genius on the station run a commercial for the Jones/Cormier PPV in the first ad break 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elsalvajeloco Posted January 19, 2015 Author Share Posted January 19, 2015 It may be just be a Fox thing. Bec Rawlings threw up a double bird at the weigh ins a couple months ago, and we got the funny cutaway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elsalvajeloco Posted January 19, 2015 Author Share Posted January 19, 2015 Brett Okamoto @bokamotoESPN 24s Spoke to Lorenzo Fertitta after the fight. Said he needs to see if Conor is healthy, of course, but envisions title fight in Vegas in May. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elsalvajeloco Posted January 19, 2015 Author Share Posted January 19, 2015 Ron Stallings next appearance on THE WALKING DEAD (yeah, this will need a spoiler...GRAPHIC): Something grisly always happens in a Uriah Hall fight and then he gives an inspirational speech afterwards. Best thing ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Siver actually has very good MMA wrestling. To say none would be a lie. He's grinded out a few decisions before. And I'm out of likes for the day. http://gfycat.com/AlertFrayedChameleon# Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Edwin Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 Cerrone's momentum is going to be put to an end by Khabib. And Aldo's going to destroy Conor. You know your opponents have been handpicked for you when Denis Siver is considered your toughest opponent to date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His toughest opponent to date was Dustin Poirier who was legit top 5 when he fought him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hail Sabin Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 Conor vs. Aldo or Rousey's next title fight will be the next PPV I buy since like UFC 94 unless I can convince my buddies to go to a sports bar. Recorded the Fight Night will start watching it shortly and post thoughts on it later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't expect it to be soon as Cerrone said he is taking time off. is Khabib's six UFC wins in a row without a title shot a record? edit: damn, not really even that close. 8 wins: Jon Fitch, Gray Maynard 7 wins: Chuck Liddell, Jim Miller, George Sotiropoulos, Matt Brown, Rafael Assuncao Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elsalvajeloco Posted January 19, 2015 Author Share Posted January 19, 2015 I think it's Fitch with 8. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
