Jiji Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 (edited) How do you not love Rountree? edit: also, why tf do so few people use kicks to the body of a grounded opponent? Edited March 13, 2022 by Jiji Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elsalvajeloco Posted March 13, 2022 Author Share Posted March 13, 2022 Rountree kicked Roberson's ribcage into orbit. That was wicked. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaedmc Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 Drew Dober/Terrance McKinney was so fucking awesome. Song Yadong does not get paid by the hour. All fast. All power. Bummed about Thiagos Santos. Thought he had an okay game plan, but there was no next gear. I don't know why, but I love when Khalil Rountree gets it done. I feel like he'd be one of my favorite low-mid card babyfaces. He punted Roberson off the ground into the cage. Insane. Then he gave the speech after, and now I totally know why I love that dude.  1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jiji Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 What's with the massive leap in opponent skill level for Aspinall? They've been protecting him fairly heavily and then just shoved him into the deep end here. Pretty neat card but it's exclusively on fight pass in Canada. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've been protecting him fairly heavily and then just shoved him into the deep end here. Pretty neat card but it's exclusively on fight pass in Canada. Probably because if you think about it there seems to be no real challenge to facing those middle of the pack HWs. I mean Greg Hardy was able to pick up wins over lower level HWs. He got trounced out of the UFC by Sergey Spivak. That's the same guy who got trounced by Tom Aspinall. You can do the incremental buildup, but what would that tell you about Tom Aspinall overall? Maybe Volkov is too much, too soon, but they likely feel more comfortable with that than him fighting bums for every 2 1/2 months. That and I doubt people were signing up to fight him.

Do people watch Paul Craig fights after they sign to fight him or are his opponents decided by some blind draw, BattleBowl type shit 24 hours before the weigh-in?

jaedmc Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 It's crazy that he set up and threatened Krylov with it, and when it didn't work he just....set it up and did it again. Like.

Elsalvajeloco Posted March 19, 2022 Author Share Posted March 19, 2022 And crazy note:Â Shamil Abdurakhimov hasn't won a UFC fight in 3 years. As in, the last time he won, we were a full year away from a pandemic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
