GDT: UFC 308: Topuria vs. Holloway

[Mickey Marner]

That was a fast tap

 

[Killahpunk]

Wow that was a quick tap.

 

[MMC]

That was entirely predictable

 

[Sheppy]

Jesus Christ. Who’s stopping him?

 

[LesCactus]

DDP/Chimaev will be very fun.

 

[Moncherry]

Chimaev is the best grappler at MW.

 

[Sheppy]

Chimaev is the best grappler at MW.

It’s not even close. This guy is like if Maia was an unreal wrestler.

 

[bov]

Hard to see anyone beating Khamzat.

 

[Taytro]

Why does Anik call everyone a "future hall of famer"? He's said it like 4 times this broadcast.

 

[Taytro]

What do you mean he "never lost the belt in fight"? The point is LHW is a paper thin division and he's clearly the top contender. Enough with these mental gymnastics trying to justify denying him a shot. Who else deserves it more? Blachowicz?

The justification is that the UFC is a business and Ankalaev is not good for business. He can't get a shot with his mouth and he couldn't get a shot with his performances. Dana told him the next title shot was his if he had an exciting performance... He couldn't do it, his last title shot was a sleeper, this fight wasn't pretty bland too, so why would UFC risk losing its active cash cow for a guy who doesn't sell and is about half as active?

Ankalaev probably beats Pereira but that hurts the business interests of the UFC because Pereira sells.

At this point though the list of who they can match Poatan up with is getting increasingly shorter so Ankalaev is due.

 

[Mickey Marner]

I haven’t been this hyped for a fight since I don’t know when

[Mickey Marner]

Damn, dropped for the second time

Damn, dropped for the second time

Never mind, he slipped

 

[MMC]

No ones beating Ilia anytime soon

 

[Mickey Marner]

Insane power

 

[Killahpunk]

Impressive!

 

[Mickey Marner]

You just can’t make one mistake against Topuria

 

[1specter]

I am absolutely heartbroken man. Topuria is officially the next superstar though and the new boogeyman of the UFC. If he keeps trending this way he might just be the next featherweight GOAT.

 

[MMC]

Damn Max looks devastated

 

[Taytro]

The best thing for 145 is to let O'Malley come up and get KO'd by Topuria.

 

[Moncherry]

No ones beating Ilia anytime soon

At 145, probably.

 

[End of Line]

Jesus Christ. Who’s stopping him?

U.S. State Department

And my god what a left to Max’s chin

 

[SoundwaveIsCharisma]

Topuria is scary, no real weaknesses, and that power
