Jiji Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 Johns/Munhoz brought the violence. Johns is so tough but Munhoz looked a class above him here. Great fight! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elsalvajeloco Posted August 5, 2018 Author Share Posted August 5, 2018 Kevin Holland ate all of Marreta's strikes and somehow survived. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiji Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 How the fuck did he survive all that? Like Johns, I think Holland gained something in a loss. Some good shit so far. This seems like a crazy fight to be on a main PPV card. What's the deal here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jiji Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 Moicano is so legit. Some incredible technique on the feet and on the ground. Gimme more of that right there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elsalvajeloco Posted August 5, 2018 Author Share Posted August 5, 2018 Moicano's jab damn near melted Cub. What a strong showing for Moicano. Didn't expect it to be that fast. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiji Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 DJ wins it narrowly in my books but that was the first really great flyweight title fight, right? And yeah, DC was magnificent on commentary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Wilson Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 I thought they'd give it to DJ on "champion's advantage" but I can't argue with the result. Really great fight. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elsalvajeloco Posted August 5, 2018 Author Share Posted August 5, 2018 Man, I didn't know what to expect after Cejudo appeared to roll his his foot. But man, that was so intense because neither guy had a clear advantage. I wouldn't mind the decision swinging the other way but it was clearly a nip-tuck fight. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiji Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 lol, Garbrandt's a dummy. Still swanging and banging with a guy you just can't do that against. Especially when you've got a glass jaw. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supremebve Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 Was Garbrandt's masterful defense against Dominic Cruz the biggest fluke in MMA? He straight clowned Cruz with his footwork and head movement, but as soon as he gets in the cage with Dillashaw he wants to play rock em sock em robots...and then his head pops off. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hammerva Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 Yeah either Garbrandt is a good fighter who had ONE great night against Cruz or Dillashaw is just incredible even against the best.  Starting to lean on the one great night camp.   1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiji Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 Running back Cejudo and DJ while going with Cruz vs. Dillashaw seems like the obvious answer. If guys want to move up weight classes, they should have to forfeit their titles. Ideally we get those two fights before the end of the year but who knows how long the flyweights need or if Cejudo is willing to do that fight after calling out the Dillashaw/Garbrandt winner. What a great couple of title fights though. I know none of these guys are PPV draws but you gotta feel like they increased their respective value with performances like this. DJ having to face some adversity for the first time in forever is a really interesting scenario too. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would agree with you except that the flyweight division is so empty right now. Can't think of anyone else near DJ level.   It is like you are facing DJ for the right to chase a better belt  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheVileOne Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 Cody No Love? More like Cody No Chin. The only fight for Dillashaw next is Marlon Moraes. Props to Cejudo for winning the belt but just because you won a close split decision doesn't earn you a shot at the bantamweight title. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elsalvajeloco Posted August 5, 2018 Author Share Posted August 5, 2018 I feel like DC-Gus II headlines one of main event less PPVs (Cyborg-Nunes seems all but academic and Whittaker-Gastelum is 50/50) still to come, but I wouldn't mind Dillashaw-Cejudo landing somewhere. With Sergio Pettis on Khabib-McGregor, it gives them time to do that fight Maybe you can run back Assuncao-Moraes to determine the true bantamweight #1 contender. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elsalvajeloco Posted August 5, 2018 Author Share Posted August 5, 2018 Sounds like DJ hurt his LCL and foot in the fight and limped out of the post-fight presser. Might be a minute before we see a rubber match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiji Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 Not surprising. He looked awkward on the exits of some of the later exchanges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Garbrandt fights a bit too much with his emotions.  On 8/2/2018 at 7:15 AM, The Natural said: I'm going same way. Emotions can help and hinder in life. More of the former is needed than the latter. That's how it went down though I didn't expect the TKO to go down in the first. Cejudo with the upset win handing Johnson his first lost at Flyweight and first defeat since 2011 by Cruz.
