Classic walk out

 

[JG22]

ref providing the lols again

 

[DazalenkoUBewty]

Need Cub and Barboza to win.

 

[Joker91]

Sherman is a tough prick

 

[DazalenkoUBewty]

Surely Cub had to go harder for the finish in the last?

 

[Barry Roundhouse]

* Frankie is good. Forever number 2 or 3 in the world.

Would love to see him drop to 135. Cant see him beating Holloway or Ortega.. they're just too big.

Him against TJ or Cody. Would be unreal!

 

[Barry Roundhouse]

Too worried about the takedown I think. I suspect he didn't want to get off balance while committing.. but agree, he had to try something.

 

[DazalenkoUBewty]

Bugger me.. This is Khabib vs Barboza all over again.

 

[Gigantic]

Hope this doesn't go the 5 rounds, for Edson's sake

 

[DazalenkoUBewty]

Not good...

 

[Joker91]

Bugger me.. This is Khabib vs Barboza all over again.

Actually worse IMO

 

[DazalenkoUBewty]

Round 2 done. Barboza getting destroyed .

It's almost throw in the towel time. Barboza cannot win this...

 

[DazalenkoUBewty]

Holy *erolly. Some dope moves from Kevin there lol.

 

[DazalenkoUBewty]

After that spinning back kick to Kevin's head this has turned into a classic clash.

Round 4 here we go...

 

[DazalenkoUBewty]

20 minutes in... These guys are amazing.

Kevin up 3 rounds to 1.

 

[Barry Roundhouse]

That was amazingly one sided. Im actually really keen to see Lee vs Khabib.

Lee has been calling him out for years and I really do think he has a game that would cause him a lot of trouble.

Just finished catching up on today’s fights. Lee’s wrestling looked pretty dam close to Khabibs level. It’s going to be interesting to see who is going to be matched up with who in the next coming months. McGregor, Ferguson, Poirier, Lee all arguably have claim to a title shot against Khabib.

Yeah LW is looking fairly deep at the moment, and Lee v Khabib looks like a great matchup, would be interesting to see what the odds would look like.

 

[DazalenkoUBewty]

Kevin did look great, but that might in part because of Barboza...he was far from great.

 

[Dan]

At the footy today....just watched the main event fight.

Lee looked really good. I think he and his team took a lot out of what happened in Barboza/Khabib fight. Those take downs and groundnpound was savage. Barboza is tough and unlucky not to capitalise on that landed kick in the 3rd.

Not sure what you do with Lee now. UFC are trying to do McGregor/Khabib.....I assume Ferguson will wait for the winner given he's out for a while.

Lee vs Diaz or Alverez would be cool.

 

[JG22]

You could do Lee vs Poirer or perhaps Alvarez.

He was very impressive, probably only one fight from a title shot. Although there is that weird triangle at the top of the division.

Barboza could fight Gaethje but Gaethje probably doesn't want yet another top guy.

Lee v Poirer makes a lot of sense.

They need to book a fight for Khabib ASAP so the division starts to have some sense and direction. I think the obvious issue is that they want Khabib v McGregor/Ferguson and right now it's complicated to try and make either fight.

Gaethje wants the top guys. He said he only has 5-6 fights left and wants to fight the best.

Add to that Khabib doesn't want to fight over the near future as he wants ramadan off and to spend time back in Russia, he wants to fight again at the end of the year.

I believe the fight to make is still Tony vs Khabib though, but who knows if they'll ever make it.

 

[DazalenkoUBewty]

Lee vs Alvarez is the fight to make imo.

And Khabib vs Tony , with Poirier to fight the winner. Well, Poirier to fight one of these 2 guys next, however it comes about...

The NC a while ago between Alvarez and Poirier was such a joke. How can illegal knees to the head be a NC? It's a DQ, simple as that surely. Should be W for Poirier.

 

[phantom13]

Yeh as far as I’m concerned khabib is the champ, tony gets first crack if fit, Poirer after that. Reality is Conor likely jumps the queue on everyone if he gets his s**t together. After that it’s a bit of a logjam with a few one win away from a shot (Lee, Alvarez).

Wanna be careful doing too many top contenders fighting each other, injuries and losses clear a logjam our quick.
