Setsuna Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 Magomedsharipov's is a ninja. Also, first attempted scorpion kick* in a UFC fight? *that's what we called it as younguns - the kick used by every HK female action star in every movie* 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elsalvajeloco Posted September 2, 2017 Author Share Posted September 2, 2017 Spectacular one punch knockout from Taisumov. Hopefully, he can stay active and healthy. He deserves to be on the bigger cards now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elsalvajeloco Posted September 2, 2017 Author Share Posted September 2, 2017 Till called out Ponzinibbio after his win. That would be a very fun and entertaining style matchup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Setsuna Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 I still think Till needs to cool it a bit. Sure, that would be a fun fight but I'd be happier to see him take another 1 or 2 lower level fights before trying to break into the top 10-15.

Sure, that would be a fun fight but I'd be happier to see him take another 1 or 2 lower level fights before trying to break into the top 10-15. I think it depends on whether or not Till can be forced to fight a different fighter than the lay back and then throw a quick combo. At this level, he doesn't really have to deviate from that formula. Ponzi gives him a different look at the very least even though he is a striker himself. Leon Edwards did a good job of surviving the scare against Barberena. If Barberena had got the decision, he probably would be a good opponent for Till since he is tough and rugged. However, Edwards winning 29-28 was the right call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elsalvajeloco Posted September 2, 2017 Author Share Posted September 2, 2017 Siyar looked sharp in his return. However, I think he probably belongs at welterweight. I would like to see him against Mike Perry. That would be a slugfest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elsalvajeloco Posted September 2, 2017 Author Share Posted September 2, 2017 Volkov just simply outlasted Struve. Volkov was starting to get tired but the damage from the exchanges in the first two rounds got to Struve. Good, competitive fight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AxB Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 Volkovmania is running wild!He can still get a title shot before the end of the year, right? Because I did predict he'd be Champion by then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because I did predict he'd be Champion by then. I doubt it. Cain, Overeem, and Ngannou would all be ahead of him off the top of my head. Plus, Stipe is still in a contract dispute. If they want Stipe to fight on the Detroit card, they're probably going to have to resolve that in the next few weeks. So Volkov would need to fight to contenders between now and next fall to get a title shot. FWIW You did hit the different announcer combination prediction. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
