Buckrock101 Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 Great fight, definitely thought it was a clear win for Al. Though he gave Lee a shot by being too patient. Al was piecing him up on the feet, really feel like he could've got a finish in the 4th or 5th. Don't know what's next for Lee. Seems like he needs to move to 170 (or 165 if it comes), since he looks drained as the fight goes on. But his striking is really quite basic, and I'm not sure how well he will go when he's fighting guys who can match him in size, strength and grappling. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blazer026 Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 Not sure how Lee couldn't believe the scores, thought it was pretty clear for Al. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Justin would be madness, can't imagine Al not wanting that fight too after Justin called for it earlier Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FinneasGage Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 232 is so damn nice, but when I see Corey Anderson on a card it sucks the wind out of it for me even though i can easily just not watch it lol. 100% put cat v. megan in that slot or andrei v. walt.

That profession choice still makes me laugh. Maybe it works for him in NY. I just picture alot of swearing at people low-balling an offer or saying they dont like the house "You dont want this house? F YOU! I"m gonna give you 5 minutes of hell, right Serra? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought Al won the 1st more clearly than Lee won the 3rd. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea I wanted Lee to lose but at the same time I wanted to see him fight Khabib. I just think LW is too stacked now for him to be in title contention for a long time. The best thing he has regarding that is he is a relatively active fighter with 9 fights in 3 years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know seeing Anderson there is a bummer but I think you're missing the potential upside. Wouldn't seeing his head bounce off the canvas make for a good time?

beekay414 Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 Ran into Trevor Smith and his BJJ coach at the bar last night. Really classy dude and his coach loved that I knew my older MMA. Smith said that Milwaukee's fans were the best he's encountered outside of Boston. Pretty badass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BayRaider Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 I always had mixed feelings on Kevin Lee and thought he was hard to judge.. now we know he’s fringe Top 7-8 fighter at best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BayRaider Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 Give me this card I will gladly pay 250 for it lol Heavyweight Championship: Daniel Cornier(c) Jon Jones Middleweight Championship Robert Whittaker(c) vs Izzy Welterweight Championship Tyron Woodley(c) vs GSP Lightweight Championship Khabib(c) vs Tony Ferguson Featherweight Championship Max Holloway(c) vs Conor McGregor If we can see most of these by the end of 2019 i’f be a very happy man. Whittaker vs Izzy and Khabib vs Tony have the most realistic shot of happening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beekay414 Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 (edited) @BayRaider I've always felt the UFC should have a "Night of Champions" card but it's not feasible. Would be awesome though. Actually, it'd be feasible if you didn't burn through your money making champions in the same card. Say something like this could work... Daniel Cormier vs Jon Jones - Heavyweight Championship Robert Whittaker vs Kelvin Gastelum - Middleweight Championship Rose Namajunas vs Jessica Andrade - Strawweight Championship Henry Cejudo vs TJ Dillashaw - Flyweight or Bantamweight Championship Cris Cyborg vs Amanda Nunes - Featherweight Championship and save Conor vs Max and Tyron vs GSP for other PPVs.

After this fight, I think it's a good thing we didn't see him vs Khabib. Everyone likes to talk about how he's a bad matchup for Khabib, but actually I think Khabib's a bad matchup for him. Kevin may be one of the best grapplers in the division, but he's still not on Khabib's level there. and Lee's striking is really basic, it's not like he's going to go out and school Khabib on the feet. At the end of the day, Lee isn't better than Khabib anywhere The way that fight plays out, I think Khabib ends up beating Lee up on the feet pretty bad. kinda like the Al fight, except Khabib is a lot more aggressive, and doesn't spend two rounds with Lee on his back.

Yea I supposed my statement really was more of a pre-fight ideal. Its sad but Khabib is better on the feet than Lee. Kevin will struggle to break thru after losing this one. Now if a new division opens up then he may but even still the guys who would move to 165 would beat him imo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
