General UFC thread

That was such a great card, and the fights today at the ultimate fighter finale weren't bad either. If you havent seen it, do yourself a favor and watch the finish in the wonderboy vs ellenberger fight
 
Probably the best fight card ever produced, that was! Lawler vs MacDonald was just as, if not more, insane than the Bonner vs Griffin original fight!

I thought it was going to plod as RL just isn't a patient fighter. Boy, has he grown! At one point, he had RMcD shaken early and STILL didn't go in to finish it! Stunning tear up in the end! Don't think RMcD will be the same fighter after this. He's had the fight beat out of him.

What I will say about the McG vs M fight, is that it highlights what I think will when Aldo steps back in. Conor is slow to react, depends on his solid chin and gets taken down rather easily! José throws in bunches, vicious with his leg kicks, is very quick, will stand toe to toe and hits fookin' hard.

It will be the fight of whatever year they decide it to be!

I dont think we seen the best of Conor over the weekend. It was a great win. He was training for Aldo for what would of been 8 weeks if not more. Then the last few weeks change of to Mendes would of been a totally different style of a fight. Both fighters fighting each other with a fully training and i think its a closer fight but with Conor again winning by KO.

As for Aldo v Conor it has to happen Aldo I think has been 1 of the best in the UFC pound for pound the top in recent years for me. But it just didnt seem right to me the build up of the fight it was looking as if he didnt want anything to do with it. I think he opted out very quickly bruised ribs with 3 weeks to the fight its a case of Aldo not wanting to fight Conor just yet is my opinion. Rumours the fight could be the end of the year with Conor and Aldo that be great if they can get it on. Saying that I just dont know if Aldo will take on Conor. After seeing Conor koing Mendes and handling the Mendes ground game its all positives for Conor. Hes a exciting fighter Conor no matter who they put him in with he will give you an exciting fight. I just think Dana and all involved will make sure that its Conor v Aldo next it has to happen.

Not sure about the wisdom of analysing the Mendes ground game in this fight. Other than a take down or two (which he SHOULD be doing as it's his forté), all he did was explode into a ground and pound, which wasn't consistent. I thought he would push the envelope there, but he didn't, probably due to being gassed. Had the energy for take downs, so a bit weird there...

Aldo has what Mendes has, but waay more rounded out. Isn't he a Black Belt in BJJ, but chooses to punch and kick the fook out of people, in preference...?

If what we saw in the Mendes fight, is McGregor's training, in part for Aldo, I would be seriously worried for McGregor's chances in the actual fight.

Bigga you never know what would happen. Conor done enough to win after training for Aldo. If the shoe was on the other foot and Conor pulled out and Mendes stepped in for Conor and Aldo won in the same fashion he would be getting the praise rightly so. As both men had only 2 weeks prep for the fight.
I think when the fight happens and if it stays on the foot then Conor has every chance. Not seen many with a better stand up than Conor he is sparking out fighters he is a KO machine. He is pure Gold for the UFC I can imagine the records he will break even if he was to be beaten by Aldo he could still fill out Croke Park and set a huge gate record the people of Ireland would clamber to get the tickets for his fight. Even the next UFC event in Dublin without Conor on it will sell out in hours.
 
Anyone watching UFC 190 tonight?
Looking a good card.
The pre-lims were OK, Damian Maia is an absolute beast still today with his Jits...

On BT Sport for everyone in UK
 
Ronda is a beast. Miesha Tate up for her next but I think everyone wants her to face Cyborg Santos.

Tate next for the 3rd time and probably the 3rd armbar win for Ronda. Cyborg fight will happen next year I reckon but I don't see her beating Ronda either. She's just an animal!
 
This month is :

UFC 193 Ronda Rousey v Holly Holm.

I'm mostly looking forward to the co-main though in Jedrzejczyk v Letourneau.

Next month is the big one :

UFC 194 Aldo vs McGregor.

Can't wait for both!
 
We just had UFC Dublin which was covered over here by Irish tv live which was nice to see. It sold out in a minute the crowd seemed up for it even with all the pull outs. The Irish had a mixed bag wins for Norman Parke , Aisling Daly and Neil Seery all winning. While Cathal Pendred and Paddy Holohan got beaten in the main event. What a shame that the Duffy fight got called off would of been a good 1. 1 thing for sure MMA is flying over here and its going to get bigger and bigger in the years to come.

IF Connor beats Aldo it will be huge but for some reason i get a feeling we might get a pull out going into the final week.

Was so looking forward to seeing Duffy. His boxing skills are exceptional for an MMA fighter.

I hope Connor stays healthy, if Aldo pulls from the fight again I can see them stripping him of the title.

People should make it a priority to watch Joanna, she is a great fighter, very entertaining. Rousey vs Holm is just a total mismatch again, over in the first minute.
