I think AKA is the only gym that can tout it's medical staff's superiority over it's trainers. Is there a place in vegas where I can place bets on which AKA fighter will be the next one to drop out of a fight due to injury?

Every. single. one. that walks out with their hoodie zipped up has troubles getting it off. I don't know what's going through a UFC fighters head as they walk out of the wardrobe to the prep point, but I'm pretty sure that driving a big fat spike of "WTF is going on with this zipper?" through it isn't good for your mindset for the fight.

The ufc is an infinite abyss of unintentional hilarity.

Correct. One judge had it for Woodley, two had draws, ergo majority draw not split/minority decision.

The more details I'm getting about the fight results the angrier I am that I couldn't watch this card. :argh::argh:

I'd like to see this matchup too, seeing as much like nate diaz, robbie lawler seems to be fueled by punches to the face.

Ferguson is both taller and has longer reach than Conor, which makes it interesting. He's also very unorthodox, fights at a good pace, and has a slick ground game. It would be a cool fight and it should happen next if Conor doesn't defend his 145lb belt.

Ferguson likes to wade through punches, and I don't think that's really advisable against the new LW champion, like at all. I think if Ferguson employs a straighter ju-jitsu offense instead of trying to walk through everything like he did against Barboza he might stand a chance. He should fight conor like hall fought artem, try and roll into 50/50 and try and beat him from the ground.

Off the top of my head, Aldo showed some very impressive use of fouls/potentially being fouled against mendes. Teixeira did well to spit his mouthguard twice against jones, probably saving himself from being finished.

Why? Holloway is good as gently caress, last loss was to Conor, has the physical attributes necessary to beat Conor and never looked in trouble in their fight.

He even got a knockdown against conor after conor had him on his back for half of the fight. That was such a great fight.

I think conor has improved a lot since then. plus I remember holloway getting hit a lot in the last fight i watched of his which was the one where they stood and traded for 15 seconds at the end of the fight

It looked like they were trading but it was really one sided, Lamas didn't land anything at all.

i do remember holloway controlling the fight. but i remember him getting hit throughout the fight too, but i only saw it at the time and haven't rewatched it

He took some hard shots from lamas, much to his chargin, otherwise an almost perfect fight for max. Max's TD defense was really really impressive as well, almost finished lamas a number of times not just on the feet but by submission as well. It was a good fight, I wish it were a 5 rounder.

Aldo vs conor at 145 should be next, if aldo drops out, then strip him of the interim belt right away.

Since everything in this thread needs a Diaz should Khabib fight Nate for the next title shot at 155?

It should probably be nate vs tferg.
