twiztor Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 damn, Rony Jason is down to the prelims on a Fight Pass card? he was supposed to be a killer in his division just a couple of years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elsalvajeloco Posted May 25, 2015 Author Share Posted May 25, 2015 Well, he is the FS1 prelim "headliner". However, I think they saw the writing on the wall once Jeremy Stephens smashed him. That was really brutal. I don't think they are too high up on Godofredo Pepey anymore, but he bought himself some time being on a bit of a streak lately.

Elsalvajeloco Posted May 28, 2015 Author Share Posted May 28, 2015 I don't want to judge people, BUT.... ..... Nova Uniao is going all out with the weight cutting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheVileOne Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 Really like the main event. Not getting enough attention. I'm a huge Oliveira fan so I hope his weight issues are in the past. I'm starting to wonder if he's just getting older and outgrown featherweight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elsalvajeloco Posted May 29, 2015 Author Share Posted May 29, 2015 Watching the weigh-in, Do Bronx didn't looked bad for getting down to 144 with his frame. Now, the girls in the strawweight fight? Totally different thing. Almeida reportedly had to get down from 150. Ju Thai looked virtually emaciated. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hail Sabin Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 Yeah Main event has my interest but I won't be able to watch it live and will have to record the fight night since I'll be 2 hours away for a wrestling card featuring Matt Hardy. Will have to find footage to see what your talking about Elsal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elsalvajeloco Posted May 31, 2015 Author Share Posted May 31, 2015 Bektic trounced Martins like expected. Time to move him on to bigger and better things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elsalvajeloco Posted May 31, 2015 Author Share Posted May 31, 2015 KJ Noon's apathy before getting choked out was amazing. That is a dude who truly doesn't give a shit about fighting. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheVileOne Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 Please cut Ryan Jimmo already. This way he won't have to worry about the Reebok sponsorship deal anymore. UFC fans won't be subjected to some of the worst fights in history. It's win-win for everybody. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiji Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 Charles Oliveira is freaking awesome. His head is way too stationary but I loved the constant knee strikes to the body and then that ridiculous forward roll shortly followed up by the guillotine. Great fight. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lentz and Do Bronx should be forced to fight every 3 months just for the hell of it. It's going result in Oliveira winning by sub everytime, but still needs to happen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiji Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 Was Stann doing that thing he does where he focuses on his dude and doesn't call what the other guy is doing? Those knees were eating Lentz up and he didn't even say anything until Nik was writhing on the ground. I really liked how Charles used the threat of the guillotine in the first round to escape fence clinches. Even when you'd think he was tiring out, Oliveira looked composed and was breathing through his nose at the end of round 2. So impressive and I can't wait for him to move up the rankings.

Oliveira is definitely one of my favorite active performers. I just hope his weight issues are in the past now and he can certainly become a top 5 contender. A lot of guys in MMA/UFC have trouble with the head movement thing though. Have no problem with the stoppage in the main event. Alves' face and nose were jacked up and mangled.

Jiji Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 Yep yep, that needed to end and Alves needed to be saved from himself (and, more importantly, Condit). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elsalvajeloco Posted May 31, 2015 Author Share Posted May 31, 2015 We got our a cameo from our favorite doctor Marcio Tannure. I'm pleased. So does Condit rematch Woodley or fight the Matt Brown/Tim Means winner in like October? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheVileOne Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 I like the Brown/Means winner idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elsalvajeloco Posted May 31, 2015 Author Share Posted May 31, 2015 If I was Condit's manager, I would place Condit far away from Woodley unless it is a five round fight. I dunno why Condit was such a prohibitive favorite (at least with media and fans) over Woodley at UFC 171. I thought Woodley, who has shown to be more defensively aware since Strikeforce closed shop, would basically land the more telling shots with Condit and win a tight 29-28 decision. Turns out, he was able to do more than that against Condit. As long as Tyron doesn't have to go 25 minutes, I would pick Woodley over Condit everytime. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheVileOne Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 It's definitely one of those styles make fights cases. I would also maybe match him up with the MacDonald/Lawler loser depending on how it goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshEngleman Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 I say go with Condit/Maia. I think that's probably pretty safe for Condit, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hail Sabin Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 Condit looked awesome and of course I have a soft spot for him since he is a WEC alum. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Natural Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 Condit looked awesome and of course I have a soft spot for him since he is a WEC alum. I have a soft spot for some WEC fighters also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.T. Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 NBK's knee looks 100% and he is back to murdering guys instead of trying to earn decisions. Even so, calling for a title fight after beating a #12 ranked fighter after being out for a 14 months messes with my MMAth. I am not sure how that win makes him a #1 contender no matter how convincing it was. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
