MMA-UFC UFC 232

[Macpotata]

Cyborg fight was awesome! Unreal! Great to see, but I will say this. The same thing was evident when the guys fought after Mendes and Volk, so much swinging with their hands down. I get they're MMA fighters and not boxers, and I know they train with world class boxers { Or at least good boxers/and or Boxing coaches } every fight is different and you can get caught up in the moment. But to use a term Rogan said, why would you throw and exchange so recklessly? World Class athletes and fighters, but not showing it in that moment and it can cost you like it did Cyborg. Could go the other way also, and that's the point I'm also making. Then it becomes a coin flip, and even less if you have less power than your opponent.

Not everyone is a Igor Vovchanchyn { who would swing recklessly and wildly and it worked for him } And now I guess an Amanda Nunes

I can't think of a more goatier goat. He has to be the goat. JJ ..is.. the goat!

edit: But, I could just say that there's a handful of greats and JJ is one of them...That's probs the most respectful way to put it.

So what happens when he fails the post match drug test...no contest?

He already failed the pre match test.

Loved the fight between Volkanovski and Mendes.

Great performance by Nunes, must hit seriously hard to do that to Cyborg.

Enjoyed the slick BJJ by Hall and Chiesa.

100% his “dc can come here” shtick was embarrassing. You’ve pissed all over the ufc and it’s fans mate, wanna elevate yourself head up and beat DC, you’d be odds on anyway.

 

[phantom13]

The cyborg fight was the most frustrating on the card for mine, she just fought so dumb. Full credit to nunes, undisputed champ/champ, but Jesus cyborg just swung like a rusty gate.

Mma what a joke celebrating the lance Armstrong win

 

[Stevi_Tigers]

Jon Jones is unbeatable

Yeah juiced to the ******* gills as always guys fake as s**t

 

[Andrew Birch]

He already failed the pre match test.

He did indeed. Yet they still put the belt on him. Go figure

Zingano having a sook on twitter and people saying it should be ruled a NC.....FMD.

Unlucky way to lose a fight.

Cant understand Alexanders game plan the first fight he fought like a lion going toe to toe with jones and nearly beat him its like he did the exact
Opposite in this fight very tenative to engage very
Defensive im dissapointed could of been a different fight if he put some pressure on the druggie.

The only defense of any of this is that Zingano has had the weirdest career in recent memory, blew her knee and missed a chunk, got done by roused fighting dumb... in any event if she gets her hands up this ain’t an issue, alternately if Megan throws that kick in instead of up it’s also not an issue and cat probably has 3 months no contacts.

Alex was hurt very early in the fight and unable to do what he wanted. On top of that Jones fought very well.

 

[DazalenkoUBewty]

A good post fight presser all round. Nothing but love for these fighters. (To the JJ haters - sorry about the thumb nail)

Alex was hurt very early in the fight and unable to do what he wanted. On top of that Jones fought very well.

he also looked terribly out of shape.

given he lost the fourth and fifth in the first fight perhaps he had planned to fight more conservatively.

he didn't press the boxing at all which was disappointing.

jones is a cheat, and while talented, is actually a surprisingly boring fighter to watch. this whole week has been cringeworthy.

props to nunes who is a beast, and to volkanovski who showed some real heart in an entertaining fight.

dc should not fight jones at 205, in fact i don't think DC needs to fight again at 205.

 

[DazalenkoUBewty]

Alex would have been extremely well prepared for the fight. His body type is what it is. He got hurt and shut down early.

 

[phantom13]

We can talk all the s**t in the world about jones and most of it is justified but he’s anything but boring. Hands down the most talented, cerebral and entertaining fighter I’ve ever seen.

 

[RU_]

It’s still crazy to think back to how he stopped the robbers hours before he decimated Shogun, and then to compare that to now and what a royally talented * up he’s turned into.

 

[JG22]

DC wants that fight again

 

[phantom13]

I truly hope DC doesn’t go down. You owe him nothing Daniel.

 

[Topkent]

Would love to see Jones go up to Cormiers natural weight.

I also think Volkanovski should be aiming for Ortega now

 

[Andrew Birch]

Would love to see Jones go up to Cormiers natural weight.

If I were DC I'd only fight JJ at HW. It would be crazy to put himself through a 50lb weight cut at 40yo. JJ's done everything at 205lb he should move up to HW if he wants to fight DC again, but not before he proves himself at HW in an eliminator against Miocic first.
