beekay414 Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 Wow, I didn't know Santos knocked out Anthony Smith. I guess that loss to Branch set him back while Lionheart beat up on some over the hill veterans and a former title challenger lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buckrock101 Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 bit of a surprise in the main event. Santos was so much more patient than I expected, and it ended up being Jan who lost his cool and ran in. You do that against Thiago you're getting slept. The announcers kept talking about Marreta's kicking game, and how Jan's gameplan may have been to neutralize that, but his hands are just as dangerous. Anyway time to get my boy in a title shot. I'm going to erupt when he sleeps Jon Jones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cuz he gets caught frequently. I like El Cucuy but I also don't care for him, if that makes any sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buckrock101 Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 and Petr Yan is special. I want to see Moraes vs Dillashaw for the title, and Yan vs Sterling for the next shot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yan is a future superstar assuming he gets marketed as a smaller fighter. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buckrock101 Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 I loved Herb Dean taking a point just 20 seconds into the fight between Teymur and Fishgold. we all hate constant warnings with no actual repercussions, so it was great to see such a blatant fence grab getting punished. It's a shame the ref in Dodson-Yan didn't do the same. Dodson did almost exactly the same thing. Dodson even had the nerve to keep complaining to the ref after doing a clear and impactful foul himself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That fight was shaping up to be an all-timer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buckrock101 Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 I just saw that Santos and Vicente Luque fought back in 2012 (before the UFC). Luque even won by tko. that's crazy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beekay414 Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 Here's a question @Buckrock101 How do you see the Pettis-Wonderboy fight going down? Pettis's strength is moving forward while Wonderboy is a counter striker. I've tried to be as partial as possible but, am I wrong for thinking Pettis has a legit shot to beat him?

It should be a fun fight, and Pettis should have a shot, since Wonderboy's not going to be trying to wrestle him or overwhelm him with pressure. I just worry that the fight is going to be taking place exactly how Wonderboy wants it to, so in that sense Pettis may just be a step behind the whole way. It's a karate vs taekwondo matchup, which is cool. Winner is legit, loser has to admit they're a bs martial art. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For as quick as Wonderboy is, some of those will land. Pettis did say that 170 isn't permanent because he knew he'd get clowned by guys like Usman, Woodley, Maia and Askren. Just said that Wonderboy provided an excellent stylistic matchup for him and that he'll be back at 155 afterwards. He's never going to fight for a title again but he's going to be one of those "you can't cut him" types for the UFC because he's so fun. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't get to see the fight but he's now 4-0 in the UFC with wins over Dodson and Douglas Silva de Andrade. He just turned 26 too. Bantamweight may have found their newest contender. I feel like Dodson has fallen so hard so fast almost like Barao. He is 3-4 his last 7 fights and at 1 point not too long ago he was considered the #2 FW in the UFC and gave MM his toughest test in a while Edited February 24, 2019 by JaguarCrazy2832 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
