Agreed, Taj had some shocking moments in the first half. His role has been a bit all over the place this year though, so hopefully it was just a bad night for a young player.
I'm keen to see McAdam in the first team after what sounds like a classy performance from him today in the 2's...
Conor strangely enough has the most control time against him. Bermudez took him down plenty as well, but both of those fights were years ago. I honestly can't think of the last person who came to fight Holloway with a wrestle heavy game plan.
The pub I was watching this at lost the signal too. The camera was on Masvidal who was talking to Askren, he then stuck his bottom lip out and nodded only for the screen to go black. The picture came back on as Rogan was having a fit in the aftermath of the fight.
My predictions (also stealing...
100%. I actually think he would be an ideal comeback opponent for Conor.... if Conor has anything left, he likely chins him early and walks away like the Cerrone fight looking like he's "back" to the casual fans. If Paddie can use his size and grappling to his advantage and pull off a win over...
I'm guessing it's the role Fullerton was recruited for, I just hope he's improved on the numbers in the below article. He will be two years older and stonger and can hopefully pick up some tips from Max...
The Monster is an apt nickname for Benavidez. Andrade fought reasonably well and landed some good shots but couldn't put a dent in him. Excellent stoppage by the corner, too. The ref looked on the verge of stopping it a few times late in round 6. The temptation is always there in a title fight...
Not sure to be honest. He sounded like he enjoyed not having to cut down to 170 this weekend and the division doesn't have a guy who has beaten him back to back holding the title.
I really wouldnt be surprised if DDP gets saved for another #1 contender fight with a comebacking Izzy which will sell like crazy. Khamzat to take on Strickland in the UAE in the first quarter of next year and Usman vs Whitaker at 185 to get the winner right back in the mix.
I assume it was when Usman threw himself forward to escape from the RNC. Watching the replay, I thought he'd done really well to get his hand down to cushion the blow to his head. Terrific performance by both guys though, Khamzat looked a class above in the grappling department, but Usman was...
Usman vs Strickland 2 would be interesting. Sean was always a big 170, so probably depleted himself a lot getting to the weight, but my recollection of their first fight was Usman dominating everywhere. Keen to see how Sean would do at 185 and coming off a masterful performance against Izzy...
That's a fight that makes sense and should be a barnburner. Hooker just got cleared after his hand break in the Turner fight, so he may want to try and get another fight in by the end of the year.
Stoked to see King Bobby finally come through in a big spot. He's been an almost type of fighter for so long but could just never get the big win he needed. A 30 second KO against the 10th ranked guynin the world hopefully sets him up for some big fights next year.
Agreed, and that's not a knock on Charlo either. He's unified the belts at 154 and at 33 is still around the right age to teat himself against the best. A mandatory against a guy from half a world away with a smaller name in the US vs a multi million dollar opportunity to fight one of the pound...
Charlo's already been calling for the Crawford fight in the aftermath. It really seems like he's in the cash in stage of his career and has no interest fighting a hungry, young challenger like Tim.
Opetaia looked sharp and certainly appears to have all the English experts raving about him. He...
Correct. The Crows take it or we'll just use the PSD attitude likely hasn't endeared them to many other clubs. Now when the shoe is on the other foot and they have had a player's head turned by a rival, they just expect that other club to pay overs. Seems a tad hypocritical to me.
Don't get me wrong, I agree that he'd be worth chasing hard for if he's said he wants to come home. Him having resigned only a few months ago points to that not being the case.
Being contracted massively drives up his price though and give GWS the ability to walk away at any point. Off contract, our first and likely our future first would be needed. While locked up on a 2 year contract though, that likely doesn't get us close.
I'm pretty sure I remember reading we were one of three clubs that were in for Oisin Mullin who debuted for the Cats this year. That would suggest we haven't completely stepped away from Ireland, but we do seem to prefer the lanky former basketballers.
I don't see how he stays on after another diabolical finish to the season. With Yze one of the favourites for the Tigers job, we may end up with quite a large re-shuffle amongst assistant coaches this off season.
