I wanna see if wonderboy can keep that up for 5 rounds vs lawler baaaaaaaaadly

That poo poo is going to happen and it is going to be tense as gently caress
Robbie relies so much on his head movement and Wonderboy is so good at sneaking headkicks from blind angles

As a Robbie Lawler fanboy I won't complain if he gets destroyed by Stephen Wonderboy Thompson.

Hendricks is a broken man. And I can't help by think those 10 rounds with Lawlor really put a dent in him.

Hendricks did not look worse than usual whatsoever aside from Thompson perfectly gameplanning for and avoiding everything he did

I love Robbie Lawler a whole lot but Thompson is also really cool as are Rory and Condit and I am fine with any of them being champ as long as it's not like Woodley

When GSP said Thompson is the best striker he'd ever trained with I thought it was training partner hyperbole but drat you do not want to strike with that dude.

Oh man I totally forgot about Tyron Woodley and his supposed title shot. Oh man that's funny.

Forward pressure to jam up his kicking game and force him into boxing exchanges where Robbie's head movement and punching power can be decisive. Conversely, Wonderboy showed that his understand of his reach and his kicks are absurdly dangerous. He just blasted through Johny Hendricks, a guy who came within an ace of winning a decision over GSP and survived 10 rounds with Robbie Lawler. So I'm not saying "ah-ha Robbie's pressure is the solution and obviously it will work!" When somebody dominates and finishes Hendricks like he's a scrub, all bets are off.

This is why you don't wait on title shots. Also, gently caress Woodley.

Thompson is going to do cool karate kicks for the first 3 rounds and Lawler is just going to eat them, then he'll get clipped and staggered in the 4th. By the 5th Lawler will do the most terrifying move in MMA, that little hop midstride towards his opponent he does to signal that Berserker Mode has been activated, corner him against the cage and murder him.

Is tonight the greatest moment in Dominick Cruz's life?

No.

The greatest moment in my life was realizing that I didn't need a belt to be happy.

Le Saboteur posted:

at this point he should gently caress off. when it was between Condit rematch and Woodley I still mostly felt like it was dumb, but not an outcry if Woodley got it. But Thompson just did the craziest poo poo that's happened in the welterweight division since Lawler/MacDonald at 189 last year. gently caress Woodley and his 1 fight against 2 fat guys title shot. Seriously. No reason to honor that now. Thompson is ready for a championship bout. Woodley can rematch Condit which would make more sense.

Yeah that was magic. he stood with Hendricks for a while and read him, then at some point he decided he'd seen enough and that was when he started really throwing his hands and just not respecting Johny's standup at all, really
