J.T. Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 Yeah, I was thinking about going to B Dubs after work to catch the main card, but the live blog of Rakic/Santos is the most boring thing I've ever read. I may just head home, get some sleep, and watch a replay tomorrow morning. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elsalvajeloco Posted March 7 Author Share Posted March 7 If you watched the fight a couple years ago he had with Jan Blachowicz up until the finish, it's not all that surprising to see Marreta that passive. I think he still has the same explosion after his knee injuries so I have to disagree with Rogan about that, but unless he's in there with someone he can overwhelm, he's going to pick and choose his spots. Unfortunately, Rakic was willing to fight that same exact way. I thought he (Rakic) had a decided speed advantage through the first six or seven minutes. Why he didn't exploit that...I dunno. I don't get going to the clinch when Marreta isn't landing anything substantial on top of being the slower fighter. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AxB Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 Commentators slagging off a fighter for not being aggressive enough in the third round, when said fighter won the first two rounds clearly... Dumb, man. So if Cormier is doing this show, that pretty much means he's not signing for AEW tomorrow, right? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jiji Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 Why does it sound like Rogan's never seen Makhachev? How did he not see this coming? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheVileOne Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 Islam Makhachev is a future UFC champion. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Natural Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 The grappling, the submissions and how quickly Islam Makhachev secured the arm triangle using more of the shoulder, that was a clinic. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Natural Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 I want to see the judges scorecards to see how many 10-8s were given to Islam Makhachev vs. Drew Dober. First was a 10-8 and probably second as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheVileOne Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 In Joe Rogan's defense, Dober was 6-1 in his last seven and had won his last three before this fight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Natural Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 Watching the Yan/Sterling video package reminds me again how bad the late referee stoppage was to Yan/Aldo. Referee should have stopped it sooner or Aldo's corner. Vaguely remember how pissed Bisping was by it on commentary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elsalvajeloco Posted March 7 Author Share Posted March 7 The thing with Makhachev was he's been in the UFC for awhile really hadn't strung together back-to-back impressive wins (at least over name opponents). With this dominating win over a really underrated guy in Drew Dober, he got himself into the mix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Natural Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 (edited) I'll go Yan by TKO in three, Nunes by decision but I can see her becoming the first to stop Megan by KO/TKO and Israel in four by TKO. Edited March 7 by The Natural Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaedmc Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 Should absolutely get the belt. I think it's silly that Rogan is even debating this. If you're the champ you can't throw illegal knees like that and keep your belt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
