OT: General UFC/MMA/Boxing discussion VII

[c3z4r]

Wow, what a great ending!

Rose wins this for me

 

[MD thaivuN]

not even sure who won round 5. Great fight

 

[Pompeius Magnus]

Rose may have done just enough at the right time to keep her belt.

 

[Skip Bayless]

Rose definitely.

 

[Pompeius Magnus]

49-46 is a bit much but I can't argue with the decision.

 

[Skip Bayless]

My favorite champ

 

[c3z4r]

49 to 46???

it was a lot closer than that, really don't see how this isn't a 48 to 47.

 

[c3z4r]

Would definitely welcome a third fight between these two. Give us a trilogy

 

[LyricalLyricist]

I thought closer but seems like consensus is Rose won anyway.

 

[Skip Bayless]

Welp, not really looking forward to this, we all know how this fight will develop and eventually end.

 

[Pompeius Magnus]

It's kinda ironic that Matt Serra is in Laquinta's corner. He's been a part of a couple shock the world moments.

 

[MD thaivuN]

Iaquinta isn't doing too badly, compared to Khabib's previous victims

Iaquinta isn't doing too badly, compared to Khabib's previous victims

He'll be tired by the end though.​

 

[Pompeius Magnus]

Khabib's ground and pound game is on a completely different level. The best I've seen at that since a young Fedor, even more advanced technically to be honest.

 

[Skip Bayless]

Khabib is like a boa constrictor, I feel depressed for whoever steps into the octagon with that beast.

 

[MD thaivuN]

im surprised Khabib didn't concuss Iaquinta on the ground yet.

 

[LyricalLyricist]

Al's got no chance, can't even get momentum.

 

[c3z4r]

Khabib just trying to try some things he's learned in practice in a real fight situation in case he ever faces somebody like McGregor.

He'll end Iaquinta in the 4th via GnP imo.

edit: I was very wrong lol

 

[MD thaivuN]

Al's new gameplan, eat punches and fool Khabib into a striking match

 

[c3z4r]

I don't know what Rogan is talking about. Has Iaquinta landed anything clean so far?

Like this is a one-sided beatdown as much as anything.

edit: lol, guess I have an uncanny ability to jynx every guy I cheer for.

 

[LyricalLyricist]

If this was longer Al might have a chance, he's figuring Khabib out but it's taking wayyyy too long. He's too far behind.

 

[MD thaivuN]

this is the kinda shit that makes me think a healthy Holloway could totally beat Khabib

 

[Skip Bayless]

Khabib is exposing himself mentally to Conor in this fight.

 

[c3z4r]

As much as I appreciate Al's toughness and heart, this was still a 5-0 beatdown by Khabib.

Maybe it's because I haven't seen McGregor fight in like 2 years but I don't see Conor having the same takedown and ground defense that Al's got.

 

[LyricalLyricist]

Became a fan of Al after this fight. Let's not pretend it was close but he did show some of Khabib's weaknesses.
