Elsalvajeloco Posted December 31, 2016 Author Share Posted December 31, 2016 27 minutes ago, TheVileOne said: Cut Johny Hendricks too. Three in a row and he's failed to make weight multiple times. He should've made changes age ago, but he refused to. He was too stubborn for his own good. Johny Hendricks killed himself to fail at making weight for nothing. He says he's done at welterweight right before this but only after he's failed to make weight three times. He said before all that if he had another bad weight cut he'd either retire or move up in weight. He brought this downfall on himself. He's not getting cut. They're going to move him to 185.

Elsalvajeloco Posted December 31, 2016 Author Share Posted December 31, 2016 Maybe it was DHK's pressure and strength, but I thought Saffiedine just kinda fought on autopilot for most of the fight. He just hasn't found himself since Strikeforce folded into the UFC. At one point, he was very accurate, busy, and could just chop people down with kicks. Now, it only seems like he fights in hard sparring mode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elsalvajeloco Posted December 31, 2016 Author Share Posted December 31, 2016 Anything other than 30-26 Dillashaw is a weird scorecard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustJay Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 Dillashaw dominated that fight. He looked really good to this casual viewer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Setsuna Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 Did Cody goad Cruz into his kind of fight or did he just have his number? I don't remember Cruz planting his feet so often and loading up on haymakers before but that could just be me not remembering correctly or a result of Cody's footwork. Dom's got a hell of a chin though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiji Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 Cruz was way too wild in his strikes. And when he was looping in his punches, he was straight up and very hittable. Disappointing showing from Cruz. Really dislike Garbrandt. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elsalvajeloco Posted December 31, 2016 Author Share Posted December 31, 2016 Garbrandt fought a really smart fight. I did say don't underestimate him. He has shown he can fight at multiple speeds. He doesn't have to win by knockout all the time. I think that's what people missed in the leadup to the fight. He fights with great composure. The fight with Almeida showed that. This just reinforced it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheVileOne Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 Cody Garbrandt just goes to show, no matter how good you are or look, there's a young stud around the corner waiting to give you the worst night of your life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elsalvajeloco Posted December 31, 2016 Author Share Posted December 31, 2016 It's crazy that if you had to rank the big three bantamweight prospects (Almeida, Sterling, and Garbrandt) when they were all undefeated inside the UFC, Garbrandt would have been considered a distant third. He made the small changes that allowed him to be consistent at the highest level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S.K.o.S. Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 In real time I thought that was a quick stoppage, but not on the replay. Hope Rousey's gonna be ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig H Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 Congratulations. You thought you were a stand up fighter all because of one fucking fight and you let your head trainer make you think that's your strength. It's been three fights now since she's shown why she got to the top. And now she's probably done. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She didn't have time to even go for a takedown, she was ambushed. I think she's done, its like everyone else caught up with her and passed her in the last two years, that's two fights in a row she looked like the far inferior fighter. Either she needs to totally regroup or move on to WWE/movies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheVileOne Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 Ronda Rousey looked like she earned her black belt from Wimp Lo's "Face to Your Fist Style" tonight. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiji Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 For somebody with passable English, that was a fucking great interview by Nunes. The division has passed Ronda by and now it's time to focus on the women who are here to stay. Ronda bringing women's MMA to the mainstream was a historic task and she's a legend but it's over.
