The Natural Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 One of the best UFC shows of all time. Like the new presentation for opening credits and the graphics though the ones saying the odds covered up the rest of the graphic saying where the fighter is from, MMA record etc. This the first show fighters have to either wear Black/White, White/Black or Black/Grey if you're the champion Reebok shorts?

AxB Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 I watched the main event before the rest of the show. I was wondering if a couple of guys got murdered with shotguns on the undercard, or if they just borrowed the ring canvas from Ian Rotten. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.T. Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 Normally I hate Rory but holy crap what a display of warrior spirit. Lawler turned that kid's face into hamburger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elsalvajeloco Posted July 13, 2015 Author Share Posted July 13, 2015 Mike Chiappetta MMA @MikeChiappetta 1h Both Conor and Chad Mendes made $500,000 to show at #UFC189. McGregor had a piece of PPV, too & will likely make another $3-4 million. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
w. josh Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 Yeah, that mat looked like a Rob Zombie film by the end. As did MacDonald's nose. Jesus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elsalvajeloco Posted July 13, 2015 Author Share Posted July 13, 2015 Speaking of Lawler, a pretty big development coming out of this that no one is talking about is his boxing coach Matt Pena is stepping away after this last win. He has been with Lawler for the last ten years ever since he was still at MFS as well as his primary chief second. Not that there isn't good coaches actually employed at American Top Team, but that's a very underrated tandem being broken up in the middle of a title reign. UFC 189 was also suppose to be the last cornerman appearance for Andre "Dede" Pederneiras. He would still be training people at Nova Uniao, but he wouldn't travel to the fights. I wonder if that is still valid or he plans to corner Aldo against McGregor and then be done with the travel. Anyway, that's another big absence in the corner although Jair Lourenco has pretty much succeeded him that role coming over from Nova Uniao Kimura.

Jiji Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 That's absurd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie M. Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 Beat Chad Mendes with one leg while Aldo pulled out of the fight. If they ever get Aldo to the cage, the fight is going to be so fucking big after Conor going on about this for the rest of the year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiji Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 I'm all aboard the Conor hype train. You've got the most charismatic athlete in combat sports & professional wrestling who fights in the most entertaining of fashion, will fight through injuries anybody above the boxcar division would pull out with, obliges all the ludicrous media days UFC throws at him, and is 27-years-old. I hope he smashes Aldo into oblivion at this stage and we never hear the end of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheVileOne Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 They did drills, but they didn't do it during live sparring after he suffered his injury. But to say he didn't do it at all is a stretch, which is what the headlines are sensationalizing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not doing wrestling doing sparring is a detriment to your training especially when you're fighting a wrestler on such short nortice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
