Mix Posted November 12, 2016 Author Posted November 12, 2016 I don't think you need to worry about Conor whether he wins or not because big combat stars like him are going to continue to draw crowds with or without a championship belt at stake...his biggest drawing fights were with Diaz and those weren't for belts... Quote
Mix Posted November 12, 2016 Author Posted November 12, 2016 I didn't plan ahead so I wasn't able to do break downs of fights like I wanted, but I don't think it matters, atleast not until we get more of a crew going in these fight threads... Conor Mcgregor vs Eddie Alvarez (winner by tko in 3rd) Tyron Woodley (winner by decision) vs Stephen Thompson Joanna Jedrzejczyk (winner by decision) vs Karolina Kowalkiewicz Chris Weidman vs Yoel Romero (winner by KO in 1st) Miesha Tate (winner by decision) vs Raquel Pennington Frankie Edgar (winner by decision) vs Jeremy Stephens Khabib Nurmagomedov (winner by decision) vs Michael Johnson Jim Miller (winner by TKO in 2nd) vs Thiago Alves Belal Muhammad (winner by KO in 3rd) in vs Vincente Luque Liz Carmouche vs Katlyn Chookagian (winner by decision) Quote
Jman Posted November 12, 2016 Posted November 12, 2016 Didn't have the time to make formal predictions, but... McGregor by KO (2nd) Woodley by decision. Joanna by decision. Romero by decision. Quote
Mix Posted November 13, 2016 Author Posted November 13, 2016 Didn't have the time to make formal predictions, but... McGregor by KO (2nd) Woodley by decision. Joanna by decision. Romero by decision. I'm really impressed with Romero and wanted to go for him, but the cardio issues are definitely going to screw him Quote
Mix Posted November 13, 2016 Author Posted November 13, 2016 Experience is beating talent here....Carmouche is stifling Chookagian and without much resistance... Quote
Mix Posted November 13, 2016 Author Posted November 13, 2016 Who doesn't love the scrapper that is Jim Miller...Alves was as tough as ever, I was impressed with how well his conditioning held up... Quote
Mix Posted November 13, 2016 Author Posted November 13, 2016 Khabib Nurmagomedov rag dolls another solid top 10 contender...Give this man his title shot... Quote
quebecelegy Posted November 13, 2016 Posted November 13, 2016 wasn't really that interested in this fight but miesha's walkout song 10/10 im cheering for her a ton now lmao Quote
quebecelegy Posted November 13, 2016 Posted November 13, 2016 W: MIESHA THOMPSON WEIDMAN KAROLINA A QT CONOR Quote
Mix Posted November 13, 2016 Author Posted November 13, 2016 wasn't really that interested in this fight but miesha's walkout song 10/10 im cheering for her a ton now lmao Pennington is...and this is the only time I will ever use this....a qt 3.14 Quote
quebecelegy Posted November 13, 2016 Posted November 13, 2016 Pennington is...and this is the only time I will ever use this....a qt 3.14 miesha using roar as a walkout song was +1 to her qt3.14-ness tbh i didn't even hear raquel's song lol Quote
Mix Posted November 13, 2016 Author Posted November 13, 2016 Raquel Pennington for the win!!! Though Miesha did seem diminished and not her self, all due credit and respect to Pennington who grinded out three grueling grappling centric rounds against the former champ... Quote
quebecelegy Posted November 13, 2016 Posted November 13, 2016 didn't miesha go on about how ronda was afraid to give her a rematch or was that a long time ago? rip that, i guess Quote
Mix Posted November 13, 2016 Author Posted November 13, 2016 didn't miesha go on about how ronda was afraid to give her a rematch or was that a long time ago? rip that, i guess Yeah, she did...she was tough in those fights with Rhonda, but she never accepted that Rhonda had her number... Quote
Mix Posted November 13, 2016 Author Posted November 13, 2016 Dam tate got rekt Yeah, I thought the fight would be more competitive...The fact that she retired says something...she wasn't herself this fight thinking back, Tate's blood and guts style has probably accumulated a lot of damage over the years... Quote
StarPanda Posted November 13, 2016 Posted November 13, 2016 Yeah really surprised about that retirement that woman's division is amess after Rhonda's defeat Quote
Mix Posted November 13, 2016 Author Posted November 13, 2016 Yeah really surprised about that retirement that woman's division is amess after Rhonda's defeat you think? it looks better than ever to me.....I think the division has caught up to her and there are contenders everywhere....I don't see her regaining the position she lost as the monster of the division... Quote
Mix Posted November 13, 2016 Author Posted November 13, 2016 wow, Yoel Romero is beast....i'm changing my prediction...I don't think he'll gas...it won't go that long Quote
Mix Posted November 13, 2016 Author Posted November 13, 2016 OMG, Michael Bisping has to duck Yoel like his life depends on it....because it does :-\ Quote
Mix Posted November 13, 2016 Author Posted November 13, 2016 Karolina stole my walkout song....Iggy Pop's Passenger 8) Quote
Mix Posted November 13, 2016 Author Posted November 13, 2016 You were saying about Romero? yo, read the thread....I totally changed my pick before the fight ;D Quote
Mix Posted November 13, 2016 Author Posted November 13, 2016 Back in my amateur days I fought on the undercard of an event headlined by Stephen Thompson...back then I thought "that guy's karate style is ok on the regional scene, but any one who's legit will figure him out"....man, was I wrong >.> Quote
Mix Posted November 13, 2016 Author Posted November 13, 2016 this fight's so good...these guys are really bringing out the best in one another... Quote
StarPanda Posted November 13, 2016 Posted November 13, 2016 How did Thompson survive that amazing fight Quote
StarPanda Posted November 13, 2016 Posted November 13, 2016 Dam Great fight it was either gonna be a draw and if it was close they were gonna give it too woodley Quote
StarPanda Posted November 13, 2016 Posted November 13, 2016 I have never seen this in a fight what is happening Quote
Mix Posted November 13, 2016 Author Posted November 13, 2016 why do they keep saying he defended his belt....at best he didn't lose it...it was a draw...it was obviously a draw....he took the final round off 'cause he was gassed from the previous round's onslaught which took a couple years off Thompson's life...Thompson deserves an immediate rematch Quote
Mix Posted November 13, 2016 Author Posted November 13, 2016 That rematch will happen Poor Damian Maia...guy can't catch a break :-\ Quote
StarPanda Posted November 13, 2016 Posted November 13, 2016 It's time guys the main event of the evening Quote
quebecelegy Posted November 13, 2016 Posted November 13, 2016 LOL ALVAREZ ALREADY SHOOK 10 SECONDS IN LMAOO Quote
StarPanda Posted November 13, 2016 Posted November 13, 2016 Wow I did not expect him too win like that he dominated the fight Alvarez was never in the fight Quote
quebecelegy Posted November 13, 2016 Posted November 13, 2016 AAHAHAHHA GIVE MAH MAN HIS BELT LMAO\ WHAT DA FOOK Quote
Mix Posted November 13, 2016 Author Posted November 13, 2016 Conor Mcgregor -"Where the fuck is my second belt you cheap motherfuckers" :-\ well....that's that....unreal >.> Quote
Mix Posted November 13, 2016 Author Posted November 13, 2016 Conor - "I want to take this opportunity to apologize......to nobody...haha...the champ says what he wants" 8) Quote
