Gaethje vs Alvarez was incredibly great.

The Overeem KO was incredibly sick. I'd favour Miocic but anyone who can crack like that has a chance so Ngannou might just win.

The Aldo fight was just pretty depressing outside of Holloway being amazing as ever.

Aldo's leg kicks at this point are a myth. They're not a weapon he's had in his arsenal like he used to for longer than he ever did. Aldo throws them, Rogan cums, Holloway doesn't care, Aldo sees that, throws less, Rogan cums, Holloway doesn't care, Aldo throws them less again, Rogan cums again the next time he throws another that doesn't do much.
That gas tank that struggled for 5 at his best is now struggling for three, his punches don't have as much pop. The stoppage was pretty bad but I'm not gonna complain about it too much. Aldo was clearly done a good 20 to 30 seconds before the fight was called but he wasn't getting pummelled into the mat super badly.

That's the fight game though, a young, hungry warrior comes along and the old guard get decimated.

I know Conor didn't kill max because of a leg injury or w/e but I think Max would beat him if they fought now

Max was only 21 when he fought Conor and he's gotten so drat good since then. Shame it'll never happen because Conor won't make weight with concrete shoes/other excuse here.

With the way Rogan was banging on about Overeem's toes, I thought Belfort had sneaked onto the announcers desk.

In all the hype, it's easy to forget how good Miocic is and how Ngannou has only shown one extremely strong string to his bow.

To make Francis favourite is pretty crazy, even if it wouldn't be surprising if he just lamped Stipe inside a round.

I did totally forget about that kimura, thanks for the reminders.

as has been said, it's a real good fight and Ngannou seems like a swell dude so I want him to win.

let's be real, the interim middleweight title is the real middleweight title

GSP is openly saying at this point he doesn't think he's going to defend the belt.

https://www.mmafighting.com/2017/12/6/16742756/georges-st-pierre-doesnt-think-hell-defend-ufc-middleweight-title

He should vacate if he has any sort of doubt so Bobby Knucks can have the legit title imo, though I'm sure Bobby would prefer to win that title in name in a real fight.

The funny thing about UFC 220 being Miocic v Ngannou, Cormier v Volkan is that the most likely way for both champs to lose is to basically put to sleep with one punch from hell. It'd be a fucker if both the main and co-main ended inside a couple of minutes.

Josuke Higashikata
Mar 7, 2013


A lot of people wrote off any chance of Volkan winning when the discussion was had quite a while ago before it was confirmed but the guy can crack and Cormier can get hit, even though he has an obscene ability to get back up and shrug it off like nothing happened. We've seen with Mark Hunt that eventually, the ability to get up from kill shots like nothing even happened goes away and goes hard.

if GSP never comes back Bisping has no money fight to hold out for and has to fight an actual middleweight contender shortly after Hendo

GSP created the situation you've all been bemoaning for a year and a half but because he's your precious Quebecois dreamboat you're all OK with it. a shameful community

Bisping was injured after the Hendo fight.

He was a really good fighter but I don't know if people will remember him that way. When he lost it, he lost it bad.

The way Lawler was able to just lift him up and move him a foot along the mat with that punch on the floor was just violence though. It wasn't a "Aljo/Overeem that guy is dead :stare:" finish but it was still a nasty one.

I kind of enjoy the current UFC landscape right now in terms of title fights. We're going to start to see interesting matchups we might of never been able to see before due to hilarious shenanigans. The true middleweight belt was just vacated due to butt stuff. The bantamweight champ wants a superfight with the flyweight champ. The real featherweight and also lightweight (but not defending) champion has Pacquiao and the irish Mafia looking for a fight. The welterweight champion is looking for a fight but no one cares about him. The current light heavyweight champ is only the champ because the true light heavyweight champ is so freaking awesome and prefers cocaine and pretty white girls rather than fight. And the only interesting going on in the heavyweight division is the Bellator grand prix.

Those are my thoughts. Can't wait for the woman's featherweight title fight that's coming up too. There's a lot of interesting matchups to make for the winner of that fight.

TFerg is the true lightweight champ. "Interim" can balls.

Has Colby actually said anything racist? I’m a brown minority in America and it’s not at all racist call people “filthy animals” on the mic when thousands of them are chanting “we’re going to kill you and gently caress your mother.”

Brazil is the most racist country in the Western Hemisphere so its weird to me when people defend them on that issue. If anything the racism is insisting the white dude is racist because he said means things about non white people that had nothing do with race.

The dude’s only friend is a brown person lol.
