Elsalvajeloco Posted May 4, 2015 Author Share Posted May 4, 2015 Hioki is 1-4 in his last five, with the lone win being Ivan Menjivar. He may be on the chopping block. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elsalvajeloco Posted May 10, 2015 Author Share Posted May 10, 2015 So we have another upset at strawweight. This time a come-from-behind armbar victory for Alex Chambers over Kailin Curran. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elsalvajeloco Posted May 10, 2015 Author Share Posted May 10, 2015 Sam Alvey just knocked a guy out and then challenged another grown man to a hair vs. hair match. We gotta work more lucha libre angles into MMA. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheVileOne Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 When did Sam Alvey become such a standout, entertaining fighter and knockout artist? I recall him being pretty mediocre on his season of TUF. I also remember his performance against Tom Lawlor being pretty poor. Oh well, can't complain about his recent results, and he definitely makes the most of his post-fight interview time. Might not get a fight with Elias Theodorou, but it sort of makes sense for both guys. Happy to see Rowdy Bec finally get a UFC win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, it helps that he is fighting other super awkward fighters. I'm fine with him being the "trim the roster fat" guy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elsalvajeloco Posted May 10, 2015 Author Share Posted May 10, 2015 And that brutal KO will probably be the end of Hatsu Hioki's UFC run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elsalvajeloco Posted May 10, 2015 Author Share Posted May 10, 2015 If Jake Matthews ever wants to be a top lightweight, he has to stop running headlong into guillotines. Credit to Vick though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheVileOne Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 Robert Whittaker is a great example of showing how speed and technique can overcome size against larger opponents. He just knocked out the No. 14 ranked guy in the division. Tavares is a pretty big win for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elsalvajeloco Posted May 10, 2015 Author Share Posted May 10, 2015 Whittaker might have just entered that "we need someone to fight a lower ranked top middleweight" fray which they so desperately need to fill up. Crazy thing is he might beat some of those guys. Middleweight is really one of the non-lower weight divisions ripe for the picking at the bottom. Guys at heavyweight ranked at 8 and below can stay there because the true prospects aren't there and those established guys have names. It just takes a one or two promising guys at middleweight to send dudes to the FS1 prelim opener. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elsalvajeloco Posted May 10, 2015 Author Share Posted May 10, 2015 John Morgan @MMAjunkieJohn 38s Miocic outlands Hunt 390-64. At least, Hunt didn't die in the cage. So that is something to take into account. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elsalvajeloco Posted May 10, 2015 Author Share Posted May 10, 2015 Where does Hunt go from here? Retirement or ? I bet he is back for UFC 193. Personally, I think he should retire there win or lose. As for the strawweight fights, they were fine. They both had nice finishes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheVileOne Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 How were the two strawweight fights? They were both pretty good. One had Alex Chambers pulling off a nice comeback submission win. The other had Rawlings pull off a first round submission. Also, hope Alvey doesn't get fired for wearing that stupid spray on tan logo to the cage. Should've known better.

Zero Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 Hunto I think he should do a retirement fight vs. another legend/big name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
username Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 Hunt has probably been my favorite MMA fighter/story over the past couple of years but I was sorta worried heading into this fight. It went so much worse than I had feared. There is always the chance his conditioning was just that much worse than usual and I guess putting him into the UFC's heavyweight seniors division might not be a disaster, but he's a 40 year old guy who has taken a lot of shots over the years who just ate so much more of a beating than is really justifiable (much respect for gutting it through to the end of round 3 but he should have never been allowed back out afterwards.) I love the guy but this should maybe be it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elsalvajeloco Posted May 11, 2015 Author Share Posted May 11, 2015 Yeah, I don't think the guys who literally gave the instruction "Stay on your feet" are smart enough to pull Mark Hunt out of a fight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbo Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 They need to just have some sort of age class. There's no reason why he can't still fight a guy like Cro Cop again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
