OT: General UFC/MMA/Boxing discussion X

[Mike Mike Caron]

I have no problem with the side show, but it seemed from the get go that he was wasting too much energy after a hard cut. Before he started to gas out, you could see that all his skills were superior to Connolly. Maybe he should do the dance coming to the octagon and then just fight, not that I mind, but it would be better for his career.

 

[Pompeius Magnus]

Too bad Teixeira is so old now. He's got a pretty complete game and he's gotten smarter but it's too late for another run at the belt.

 

[Pompeius Magnus]

A bit early but Cowboy was just one punch away from going to sleep.

Justin is a beast. Now time for some Tyson. Heard like only 1,500tix were sold last week

For real ?

I don't think so. He got rocked twice and it was open season for Justin. It was over.

Early as in '' he wasn't out yet'' but I completely agree with the stoppage.

From Eddie so to take with a grain of salt

Matchroom promoter Eddie Hearn went off last Saturday when asked about Tyson Furyand his fight tonight against Otto Wallinat the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada. Hearn says that only around 2,000 tickets have been sold for the Fury-Wallin fight, and he thinks ESPN has got to be wondering why they’re paying Fury to have him fight such poor opposition.

Man, if it's true they're gonna lose a ton of money. Fury isn't charismatic enough to just put him in there with a jabroni expecting a packed house.

 

[Deebs]

What a great fight. Wallin did his best but Fury is just that next tier up

So, was it true?

 

[Mike Mike Caron]

So, was it true?

I don't know about the numbers, but they alluded that it was small crowd in the post fight panel.

Clearly it has nothing to do with Fury charisma or ability to sell a fight. I think his opponent just didn't have enough credentials and they were both foreigners. The ppv should be making money though.

 

[LyricalLyricist]

Wow, if the UFC fight ends like this. Ouch...

 

[Deebs]

Yair is being a beotch

 

[Pompeius Magnus]

Too bad, that fight had a lot of potential. Yair losing his mind after is all we'll get sadly .

Hell, Stipe will probably be down for it, who else is there for him in that division that would make him more money anyway ?

 

[Pompeius Magnus]

'Believe you me,' you won't be able to unsee Michael Bisping's new party trick

The fact that he got cleared to fight 11 more times after the Belfort kick never ceases to confound me to this day.

What a great way to start the night, after a great Habs win all I want to see is WAR Bobby Knuckles knocking adesanya's lights out

I want Izzy to win. I like both but Izzy is super active relative to Robert.

he's more active but he talks way too much trash for his current resume

 

[c3z4r]

Is it just me or does this Tafa guy have exactly the same body proportions and tattoos as Tuivasa

 

[Laurent]

Looking forward to tuivasa’s walk out

 

[LyricalLyricist]

Predictions for main event?

 

[Laurent]

IZzy spent too much time thinkin about his entrance. Not a fan. FOcus on the fight

Here’s to a good fight between two awesome fighters

 

[LyricalLyricist]

Robert could barely touch him. Master class on the feet.
