Elsalvajeloco Posted December 5, 2015 Author Share Posted December 5, 2015 Anyone giving Mendes a shot against Frankie? He hasn't lost a fight in the UFC that wasn't for a belt. There is the possibility he could touch Frankie on the chin if he stays upright. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hail Sabin Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 I do I bet Faber has watched his fight with Frankie many times with Chad pointing out what went wrong plus we know Mendes wants another shot at Conor or Aldo in the near future.

Elsalvajeloco Posted December 7, 2015 Author Share Posted December 7, 2015 Both this show and UFC Fight Night 80 will use the 25 ft Octagon. UFC 194 will of course be the big 30 ft one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is the possibility he could touch Frankie on the chin if he stays upright. I am with Chad's wins by KO/TKO. Maynard came close to stopping Frankie in the first round of their second and third fights but Edgar recovers quickly. Amazing how Frankie survived the second fight's first round like he did. Still going with Edgar by decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is the possibility he could touch Frankie on the chin if he stays upright. I would say due to his knockout power and skill set alone, he has more than a puncher's chance. Mendes is also the only fighter I remember figuring out a way to actually successfully counter and deal with Jose Aldo's legkicks. Something Edgar couldn't do.

TheVileOne Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 Honestly a lot of good fights on this card I care about as well. Barboza vs. Ferguson is awesome, and Ferguson is way underrated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AxB Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 I was thinking an England vs Ireland TUF finale would be a good spectacle. But now Saul is out due to a visa/legal issue (can't enter the USA) and Ryan Hall is in... and that's a very different fight. Seems easier for Lobov, because Hall's a fantastic submission guy with little stand-up and not very good takedowns. Not a great style match-up against a KO striker.

Another thing is....Ryan Hall has been training at SBG and only finished his camp at Tristar. Unless he knows Lobov has serious ground weaknesses and knows how to exploit them, this won't end very well for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elsalvajeloco Posted December 10, 2015 Author Share Posted December 10, 2015 I watched the last episode of the season. Erosa didn't have much outside of swift footwork and then he got his face crushed in brutal fashion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elsalvajeloco Posted December 12, 2015 Author Share Posted December 12, 2015 Ariel Helwani @arielhelwani 7m7 minutes ago John McCarthy will be your ref for Edgar X Mendes. Herb Dean for Lobov X Hall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elsalvajeloco Posted December 12, 2015 Author Share Posted December 12, 2015 Brutal left hook by Herrera. End of the night for Joby Sanchez. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiji Posted December 12, 2015 Share Posted December 12, 2015 Five clean head shots on the ground after that hook. Ref was a bit too far away - got to stay closer to those little mother fuckers but then you'll get caught up when they circle. Must be a nightmare to officiate top notch lighter weight fights.

Could pull a Cecil Peoples by running from across the cage, trip over, and fall on the KO'd fighter. Mike Pierce has another head growing out of his head. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
