The Natural Posted May 19, 2022 Share Posted May 19, 2022 When Khabib Nurmagomedov beat Justin Gaethje to go 29-0, Khabib in his post-fight interview said it was his last fight, I believed him then and still do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Natural Posted May 22, 2022 Share Posted May 22, 2022 Looking forward to Julianna Pena vs. Amanda Nunes 2. Nunes handily won the first round, got into a slugfest in the second getting gassed and tapping out to a rear naked choke in one of the biggest MMA upsets ever. What's up with Deiveson Figueiredo requiring an interim UFC Flyweight Championship. Is this another case of an Interim added to help the PPV buyrate? Expect Luke Rockhold to be Luke Outcold, all his five losses previous to this were by KO/TKO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Figueredo pulled out of an (this?) upcoming fight with a finger injury, but i can't imagine that necessitates an Interim title. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the Luke Rockhold to Luke Outcold reaction. I was chuffed at that quip. Cheers for filling me in on Figueredo.

J.T. Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 (edited) Quote It was announced on The MMA Hour with Ariel Helwani that Bellator fighter Valerie Loureda has signed an exclusive contract with WWE. While Bellator retains her MMA rights should she come back to MMA, Loureda will begin training full-time at WWE’s Performance Center in mid-July and hopes to be on NXT by the end of the year. I am totally unsurprised. I have seen a couple of her fights.  She's an excellent striker, but she seems more preoccupied with flaunting her fitness on her socials than she is on winning MMA championships.  WWE circus might be a better fit for her than MMA. She does not seem to have found the balance between Instagram darling and legit octagon grinder that Itsuki Hirata has. Itsuki is coming for someone's title. Watch her make a liar out of me and show up in STARDOM in three months. Edited June 30, 2022 by J.T. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jiji Posted July 9, 2022 Share Posted July 9, 2022 Why are they giving Yan such tough fights? She's a good fighter but Esparza, Rodriguez, and Dern is ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair, look at who she beat before that. Unfortunately, once a prospect breaks through a certain level in UFC, rarely do they go back down the ladder in opposition unless they totally bottom out. If this was boxing, she would be thrown a 1 or 2 gimmes before fighting another tough fight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onelegbrynn Posted July 11, 2022 Share Posted July 11, 2022 (edited) This is totally off topic but ... I've been on a classic UFC binge recently (as in the SEG-era UFC) and I remember there being a podcast series a while back where Jack Encarnacao was reviewing 10 events at a time with special guests on each episode. I know it was on Sherdog but I'm wanting to go back and listen to them as I watch these old shows to help fill in some of the gaps. I found the page for them on Sherdog but the links are disabled now. Does anyone else remember these? If so, does anyone know where/if I can find them to listen to? Or are they just lost to time now? (EDIT: They were called "Rewind: Look Back" ... I think) PS: Mods ... if this isn't the right place for this post, please feel free to move it to where it needs to be.

I haven't listened to any Sherdog show about 4 or 5 years at least. I actually was scrolling through the radio section around the last UFC PPV and didn't recognize any of the names. I dunno who Sherdog still has a partnership with cause they changed ownership a few times, but you probably would have to dig a bit to find those shows if they're older. I think I do remember those shows when Encarnacao was hosting them because I think Meltzer at least on one of those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thinking about it a little, I would say O'Malley has a bit more than a puncher's chance but it's not a super favorable matchup. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
