ThatJerkDave Posted July 11, 2021 Author Share Posted July 11, 2021 1 minute ago, Leader said: It will be interesting to follow post fight analysis of the tape and see if they can discern which kick may have fractured his leg bone. I think he just landed on it awkwardly. I don't know if you are a pro wrestling fan, but Sid Viscious had a nasty broken leg from jumping off the second rope and landing on his feet. Don't look it up if you haven't seen it. But if you plant too much weight on your leg your own body weight is enough to snap it. Connor kind of had his weight moving sideways when his leg came down. Perhaps some damage had already been done, but I can see it just breaking like that too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont follow wrestling - but (IMO) the broken leg you highlight is more explainable given the height he was dropping from as opposed to McGregor simply planting his foot backwards. Neither here nor there for me....but it'll be interesting to hear the analysis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read multiple comments on twitter and instagram from Connor fans that said he was about to win the fight. He lost the round, then broke his leg. Then they still believe that the dude's wife was messaging McGregor, like a tramp that would do that would still go for the guy that lost the fight. Comical. Hardy fight was hilarious too. I was pretty popped but the main event so I was very confused by the time that happened. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only fight I didn't enjoy last night was the co-main where they just wrestled, and the guy won because he got 3 take downs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I bitched about that fight plenty, but it's to be expected anymore. They don't HAVE to stand toe to toe and murder each other, but having a whole fight where it was "who was better at hugging?" gets ******* old. But yeah, I figured they would brawl like that, but I literally went holy **** Hardy is going to finish him before we get 2 minutes in and then he got knocked out less than 2 seconds later lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He felt like he was about to finish that fight, had a shot anyways. I'm guessing for a dude ranked way off the top guys he's still a decent draw. He hasn't been doing this long either. Who knows. I'm sure there's someone here who can break down his game now than me though and tell you if he really has a shot doing this a while longer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad to hear he got knocked out. Wish I would have seen that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also don't follow it close, so I don't know any of his opponents, but he seems to finish them quickly. He is 32, is that old for a UFC guy? I would question Hardy's chin after that fight, it looked like he only got hit once. But, Tuivasa is 12-3 in mma and 5-2 as a pro boxer, he isn't hitting guys with pillows. The fight was entertaining for the minute that it lasted. That is the kind of thing that I like to see, but I am a fan of striking and really don't care for the wrestling part of mma fights.

I feel very strongly that he is unfairly viewed by the casual fan. Always had this very negative idea about him being slimey; it seems he's really portrayed that way. But he just seems like a spirited baseball guy. He seems very very VERY genuinely in love with baseball and the dude bet more on random-*** basketball games than the team he was managing. He was 100% NOT jeopardizing baseball with his betting. I'm convinced he wouldn't have done a damn thing differently had he not bet. He was just confident about winning and never bet against his team. He's 80 now and will probably die with so much undue disrespect. As our society continues to embrace sports betting, his legacy will only improve. Unfortunately for him, it might be posthumous. Dude is in the WWE/WWF Hall of Fame. He's good.

I have very little remorse for Roger Clemens and Barry Bonds and doubt they’ll ever get in the hall either. Wait. I don't really follow baseball. Those two, Bonds and Clemens are not in the Hall? How about McGwire and Sosa? Looked it up, daaannnng. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it was cleaner than it looked on my phone though. If it happens more often, then it is probably a concern. Remember way back when, when Lennox Lewis was KOed Oliver McCall? He was pretty fine until he got caught again by Haseem Rahman, years later. And though he only had a few more fights after that, he was still fine. Big guys hit hard. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
