MavsFan77 Posted June 6, 2020 Share Posted June 6, 2020 So is anyone else rooting for Eddie Wineland tonight? I really liked him in WEC, and I feel like O’Malley is way over hyped. Beating up on tin cans doesn’t impress me, and unlike Connor when he started in UFC this kid hasn’t beaten anyone decent or did anything to back up the attitude. That’s one thing I’ll give McGregor credit for. Not only did he beat Max Holloway in only his second UFC fight, but he did it in convincing fashion with a torn ACL. Then in his fourth fight he beat Dustin Poirier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jiji Posted June 7, 2020 Share Posted June 7, 2020 Fuck. That was impressive from Heinisch but Meerschaert ain't ever going to string three wins together, sadly. Oh well, he's a really fun middle of the pack type fighter. Really impressive display from Stamann. Previously he had struck me as a typical jock douchebag but that must've taken some serious willpower to hold in the pain until the end of the fight. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elsalvajeloco Posted June 7, 2020 Author Share Posted June 7, 2020 GM3 strikes me as a guy who would do well in Bellator or PFL. Not just because the competition is lesser, but because he's most likely to flourish against unfinished or flawed fighters. Plus, he's going to be able to fight multiple times in a calendar year. In three and a half years in the UFC, the number of cancelled fights he has had? ZERO. That's impressive. Unless he wants to be a career gatekeeper in the UFC, another company would get more utility out of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twiztor Posted June 7, 2020 Share Posted June 7, 2020 i really enjoyed that Caceres-Hooper fight. a rematch in 2 years would be phenomenal 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elsalvajeloco Posted June 7, 2020 Author Share Posted June 7, 2020 (edited) Speaking of people who probably be fighting elsewhere...Chase Hooper looked out of sorts against Caceres. He shouldn't be in the UFC right now. Hooper would be better if he spent 2-3 years in LFA and some of the other feeder organizations the UFC has a relationship with. Everything other this his ground game, which TBH is still only slightly above average, is like a 3 at best. If they don't want this kid to flame out, they should not make the same mistakes they made with Sage.

I still remember that season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did he see the Covington vs. Usman title fight? Neil Magny has really good cardio, he isn't doing anything close to what those two did in that fight. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supremebve Posted June 7, 2020 Share Posted June 7, 2020 I really thought that was going to be a barn burner. It's a crime that Aldo is getting the title fight over Sterling. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I try not to listen to commentary because apparently the only way to hype the major fights is to say someone is the GOAT at whatever. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiji Posted June 7, 2020 Share Posted June 7, 2020 Holy shit tho. Petr Yan could go Ivan Drago on Aldo setting up Rocky III with Aljo. Dude is a superstar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elsalvajeloco Posted June 7, 2020 Author Share Posted June 7, 2020 BTW I'm so glad Aljo turned the corner because it was so frustrating watching him leave fights on the table. The Marlon Moraes loss is forgivable because he got Marlon Moraes in steamroller mode. He ran into the wrong guy at the wrong time. It took awhile, but he's here finally. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
