supremebve Posted April 14, 2019 Posted April 14, 2019 Jouban has decided to play keep away...which is smart defensively, but he isn't landing anything.
supremebve Posted April 14, 2019 Posted April 14, 2019 If Khalil Roundtree is going to start fighting like Sagat, he needs to come to the cage wearing an eyepatch. 3
Jiji Posted April 14, 2019 Posted April 14, 2019 Is this Khalil's final form? Is this what we've been waiting for?

Jiji Posted April 14, 2019 Posted April 14, 2019 Dude, this is hard to watch and I've been the resident Khalil mark since day one.
Jiji Posted April 14, 2019 Posted April 14, 2019 Shoot these mother fucking cornermen out of a cannon.
Jiji Posted April 14, 2019 Posted April 14, 2019 Well, it took until the third round for Khalil to slow down. That's better than the usual, like mid first round. Better pacing and conditioning but still getting tired and that's okay if he's dealing this kind of damage through 2.5 rounds.
Elsalvajeloco Posted April 14, 2019 Author Posted April 14, 2019 I'm adding Eryk Anders to the list of people who need to go to a better MMA gym. 1

That dude is about as good of an athlete as there is in the UFC, he's tough as nails, but he's hit a wall at his current camp. Is Rich Franklin now underrated as a fighter? He was the best middleweight in the world until Anderson Silva came along and went on one of the greatest runs of all time.
Elsalvajeloco Posted April 14, 2019 Author Posted April 14, 2019 I know it's one of Rich Franklin's career highlights, but the UFC production team made a concerted effort to show Nate Quarry getting fucked up. 110% level of petty right there.
supremebve Posted April 14, 2019 Posted April 14, 2019 Hey Kelvin, keep your pants on, the fight will start soon enough. 1
supremebve Posted April 14, 2019 Posted April 14, 2019 This fight intrigues the shit out of me. Isreal Adesanya is really dynamic, and skilled, and technical, and all of that shit...but Kelvin Gastellum is just a wrecking ball who isn't going to give a fuck about any of his skills. 2

People would argue Busta or Hendo pre-Andy but PRIDE didn't establish a proper MW division until two years before their demise. Middleweight was pretty scattered before 2008/2009 which is why you had a number of solid and decent fighters outside the UFC and Elite XC/Strikeforce and many feeder orgs being able to utilize those guys on their cards.

I think Franklin smashes Bustamante in their primes, but his fight with Hendo was pretty damn close. 1
Setsuna Posted April 14, 2019 Posted April 14, 2019 Beauty vs. The beast and so far the beast is winning.
jaedmc Posted April 14, 2019 Posted April 14, 2019 Gastelum's left hand is very well-informed in regards to where Adesanya's head will be.
jaedmc Posted April 14, 2019 Posted April 14, 2019 Gastelum's violence boner is making me uncomfortable.
Setsuna Posted April 14, 2019 Posted April 14, 2019 Gastelum's a mad man. This fight's got me forgetting to breathe. 2

Jiji Posted April 14, 2019 Posted April 14, 2019 (edited) This is a star making performance from BOTH guys. Edit: why'd they get the brother from Everybody Loves Raymond to translate? Edited April 14, 2019 by Oyaji 1

Setsuna Posted April 14, 2019 Posted April 14, 2019 Big momentum swing for Kelvon heading into the fifth.
supremebve Posted April 14, 2019 Posted April 14, 2019 This fight is incredible. I honestly think Gastelum let him off the hook going for takedowns. 1 1
Elsalvajeloco Posted April 14, 2019 Author Posted April 14, 2019 I tried to tell y'all this fight was going to be the shit.
