Default Ufc/mma thread

Figured i would start a UFC/MMA thread.

Just announced that Derrick Lewis will be fighting Daniel Cormier at UFC 230 for the Heavyweight title. That’s Nov 3rd. Not a lot of time for Lewis to up that cardio conditioning....

Those boys are getting PAID i guarantee it.

Cormier should be able to grind out a win with his his wrestling.

Gotta feel like this last minute booking is just in order to not pay Diaz PPV points.

I agree. Cormier has good cardio. Lewis does not. Lewis has a punchers chance and thats about it...

Haha that was just a joke. Kinda like Harley race wrasslin again. Maybe his cardio has improved in old age. Good for 38 seconds now...

If GSP would fight for a "super fight" or "legacy" fight against Khabib he should do it at a catch weight above 155 for 2 reasons ....

- It's my opinion GSP would have a tough weight cut to 155 and likely not be the best GSP which would potentially diminish the gravity of such a fight.

- It wouldn't be fair for GSP to potentially win the fight and "claim the belt" if he has no intention of staying an active fighter - and GSP isn't looking to be an active fighter.

Catch weight at, or somewhere around 170lns is the way I'd like to see this go down.

When I broke my leg they gave me a cold pac, works like a hot shot only backwards. Maybe he could just drop one of those in, in between rounds.

And at his last fight, to be quite honest, I thought he was so out of shape, and loosing the fight on the cards when BOOM he finally clocks the guy and sits him down to win .......... again.

Lewis's time will be up if Cormier get a hold of him on the fence and, even worse, if he gets on top of him.

I am not impressed with Lewis at all.

Sure he has bombs in his fists, but a puncher's chance is what he always has, and I'd say he should cash in his lottery ticket. His time is up.

Yes its a shame that Lewis is #2. Doesnt speak much for the talent pool at heavyweight. He's a boat anchor. Granted a funny boat anchor but still a boat anchor...

Pretty sure they’re just tying to save the card, they announced this fight a couple hours before announcing that Poirier was injured and out vs Diaz

Yeah that sucks. I wasn’t going to get the card but was interested in the outcome of that fight for sure.
