The Natural Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 Looking forward to this particularly the main event as Lightweight is the best weight class since 2010. The winner has a shot at Fighter of the Year but for Dustin Poirier, depends on the weight you give two wins over Conor McGregor as he's not what he was. Be interesting to see how Cody Garbrandt looks at Flyweight. The Bantamweight GOAT Dominick Cruz should be on the main card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twiztor Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 8 hours ago, The Natural said: The Bantamweight GOAT Dominick Cruz should be on the main card. i don't say this to diminish Cruz, because i agree that he is one of, if not THE, BW GOAT. but i find it weird that Cruz never fought the dominant champion before him, Miguel Torres. And he never fought the guy who claimed the throne when Cruz was out injured, Renan Barao. (sidenote, i was really looking forward to Marlon Moraes joining the UFC and facing off against both Cruz and Barao- neither of which happened!) Again, i fully believe that Cruz would beat all of those guys, but it's just one of the oddities of this sport. back on topic, this looks like a damn good card. looking forward to it! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Natural Posted December 12, 2021 Share Posted December 12, 2021 Augusto Sakai got folded up by Tau Tuivasa like Steve Nelmark did vs. Tank Abbott many years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elsalvajeloco Posted December 12, 2021 Author Share Posted December 12, 2021 I wouldn't say like Tank vs. Nelmark because Nelmark looked like he had been put in a trash compactor. Sakai just fell back at an awkward angle. Still brutal though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
