Don't like the fact McGregor is coming back to fight cerrone. I hope they don't give him a title shot if he wins

He is getting head kicked ko’d in that fight. His 15 minutes will be over and we will no longer have to endure proper whiskey’s advertising any longer. Being Irish I really used to like him when he was coming up great attitude and seemed very humble, money went to his head as it would probably go to everyones but I lost all respect for him at the Khabib fight press conference.

Rozenstruick lands a massive blow with 4 seconds to go in round 5 of a fight he was losing on points and destroys Overeem's face. That has to be one of the nastiest injuries in UFC history .

Lip was gone ?, that Rozenstruik lad has serious power you could argue he was lucky the ref stopped the fight Overrem got up straight away

There's no way he could continue with that injury. The referees in the UFC are not allowed to make any allowances for how long remains in a fight. This is a good thing IMO as the safety of the fighters in paramount and it also makes it more exciting for the fans. Demetrious Johnson vs Kyoji Horiguchi, and Yair Rodriguez vs Chang Sung Jung were fights that were stopped with less than a second to go.

9 seconds left in the fight, just saying Rozenstruik didn't look to finish and walked away, Overeem bounced right back up with half his lip hanging off, if he does that in future he could be made to pay.

That struve/rothwell fight was absurd. What the fuck was Dan Miragliotta doing? Outrageous reffing.

 

[yankspurs]

Never in a million years. Not even remotely close. Moraes did well but jesus. Are these boxings judges? Because that was a screw job. Aldo very clearly won that fight. Id be embarrased by that one, Dana.

Thought colby v usman would be boring but what a great fight.

You’ve fallen for one of Joe Rogans classic moves - he creates a narrative on commentary in a fight then continues to say it over and over again completely regardless of what’s going on in front of him. In this one he was going with Aldo winning and controlling the fight from early on in round 2 all the way to the end of the fight, despite Moraes arguably producing more offence in the third round. I think Moraes took that round and round 1 is open for debate. 29-28 Moraes is a very fair score in what was an extremely tight fight.

 

[fatpiranha]

So glad Usman smashed Covington .

Hats off to Volkanovski as well. I thought he won every round against Holloway. One judge agreed with me (50-45) but the other two only gave it to him by a single round (48-47). At least they got the right result.

Moraes v Aldo was a close fight. I thought Aldo won but wasn't shocked by the decision.

Curious to see how long McGregor gonna last in the Octagon against Cowboy.

He will beat him, quite convincingly too.

 

[Dan Stallworthy]

Love Cowboy but he looks slower and slower every time I see him, if he was in his prime this would be an incredible brawl. Would love to be proved wrong, but I can't see anything other than a McGregor 1st Round KO/TKO.

 

[wirE]

Yeah. McGregor has been out for quite some time now. Not match ready to go up against a fighter as Cowboy

Yeah I agree but McGregor is going up a class to a heavier division and Cowboy been at it for some time. I think Cowboy will KO McGregor with a kick to the chin

If Cowboy is gonna win, it would be a head kick for sure and I would love to see it. That head kick against Matt Brown is still one of my all time favourites.

 

[wirE]

Oh.. he he Well that's another debate. I stand firm on Cowboy for this one

Head kick KO round 1-cowboy

 

[teok]

It all depends on how much all the booze and drugs have taken their toll on his body. He seems to have sobered up but how fit he is isn't that clear.

If my guess is wrong and Conor isn't KO'd in round 1 then cardio wise he has never really been there so he will struggle
