The Black Beast should get a job in the Department of Energy or something. He turns words gold on the daily.

I still can't believe how good Connor looked against Eddie. Like I really wanted Eddie to win and thought he might and Connor ended up looking like a punch out boss.

Alvarez is a loving savage, but he's always been a dude who leaves himself a little too open, and Poirier is the best in the division (unless Conor ever comes back, I guess) at exploiting those openings. He was tooling Eddie up in the first fight until he got wild, and he's been much more controlled since, while Eddie Alvarez is still fighting like Eddie Alvarez. I think Poirier takes him out within three rounds. I am a weird mix of excited and nervous to see Aldo fighting a non-championship fight for the first time in eighty years. I hope he's still got it. edit: The Dave posted:I still can't believe how good Connor looked against Eddie. Like I really wanted Eddie to win and thought he might and Connor ended up looking like a punch out boss. Conor is, like, the worst conceivable matchup for Eddie. Eddie's biggest strength is his ability to drag people into brawls and Conor's one of the best counterfighters in MMA, he never had a chance.

I almost drove out to Calgary for this but it's literally the only weekend this entire summer that I need to stay around the house. Oh well.

Crazy that Aldo isn't a clear favourite over Jeremy Stephens. That'd be an odd thing to explain to someone just a couple of years ago.CarlCX posted:nah, she got the absolute gently caress beat out of her by Joanna but she's still top 10 and she just lost a super-close split decision to Gadelha where she almost knocked her out, she's doing fine I've rewatched that Joanna fight so many times, and I can't think of another fight where there was such terror on a fighter's face. It's amazing.

Eddie loves to eat left straights and left uppercuts, and he said he completely abandonned his gameplan for the connor fight (move to connor's right, try to get in on his legs)

Eddie also fights best with his back against the fence and his ringcraft there is really good in comparison to most MMA fighters and Conor pointedly refused to push him toward the fence and tried his best to avoid engaging for long there.

Calgary fighter Hakeem Dawodu is rumored to have peed on a girl I went to high school with. And by rumored, I mean that's what a dude who went to jr high with him told me. Important fighter news.

It happens in the first minute or two. He goes from leg kicking and going away from the left, to not leg kicking, circling into Conor’s left, and lunging in behind his right with no set up at all to get brutally countered. As far as I can tell Conor didn’t do anything to force him to do it, he just kind of starts doing that for no reason like Conor hypnotized him or something. Maybe Conor picked up hypnosis after falling victim to Diaz Hypnosis in the first fight with Nate. threeagainstfour fucked around with this message at 06:39 on Jul 28, 2018 |

Anderson made a lot of world beaters look completely lost. The most pure desperation i’ve ever seen in the cage was Bader/Rumble.

Kimbo vs Dada had a ton of desperation. Both men were fighting for their lives.
