You have to give Woodley credit. He is the welterweight champ for a reason. If he knocks someone out, I doubt it's something lucky. That's what he does. Keep in mind, Woodley is a pretty good wrestler. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiji Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 And while Maia is a master when the fight is on the ground and his takedowns have improved big time over the years, it will be interesting to see how Woodley defends the takedowns. Could easily see him sprawling and stopping Maia. That is if it's Woodley Maia ends up fighting. Fun show, was shocked by how many empty seats there were.

What exactly does Swanson do better than Pettis? The fight to make is Pettis against Holloway, let those two stand and trade crazy strikes until one of them falls down. The winner either gets Aldo or the winner of Aldo vs. McGregor II. No. Holloway is 9-0 and gets the next title shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elsalvajeloco Posted August 28, 2016 Author Share Posted August 28, 2016 Honestly, it might be Holloway. Pettis is going to get a big matchup. Also, it sounds like Max may be open to that given he threw shade at him on Twitter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But now it seems like his fake wrestling name is his true Nomme de Guerre now. Which fair enough, it's the name he's best known under, and obviously there's plenty of Brazilians and Japanese who have fought under nicknames in the UFC... but it still feels a bit odd that he's not using his real name for his real fight. i only heard the "Phil 'CM Punk' Brooks" thing as an option, i never heard one way or the other if that was 100% what they were going to do. that said, anything can happen between now and fight time. Personally, i'm just curious what his entrance music will be. Will he stick with "Cult of Personality"? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Natural Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 If Demian Maia gets you down on the ground, chances are its over. Sucked seeing Carlos Condit submitted so quickly. One last fight, rematch with Robbie Lawler? Lawler vs. Condit is still the best MMA fight this year and one of the greatest MMA fights ever.

J.T. Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 Poor Carlos. That was some fucking high level BJJ that Maia put on his ass. Nice on Pettis to submit a submission specialist. Lauzon / Miller was a fucking war. I had it 29-28 Lauzon, myself. I am not a PVZ fan but that was a fucking pretty switch kick. You could see the soul vapor rush out of Bec's nose and mouth right as that shit connected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
