    Beatings where fighters were never the same?

    People seem to forget Lawler vs. Condit because of the second MacDonald fight which is also a prime example. None of these guys where the same afterwards. Their records speak for themselves.

    Fighters fought as unranked guys and rematched for the title

    Perhaps it doesn’t count, but Joanna beat Karolina in 2012 when both were amateurs. Pretty wild to go from some random Polish arena to a rematch at MSG as 12-0 and 10-0 four years later! :) Joanna was also beaten three times from 2006-2008 by Valentina in pure muay thai.

    Sergio is better than his brother

    The knockout tonight was very reminiscent of Anthony's against Wonderboy. Sergio was clearly not the better man in the cage, but he pulled a rabbit out of his hat with something spectacular and unorthodox. Really didn't expect that from him. :eek: It's always been Anthony who could create a...

    Name a fighter (or few) that deserve a second shot in the UFC

    My first thought was Lineker as well, he was mostly in awesome fights. :confused: I was sad to see Formiga and Alcantara go as well, but they were getting up there in age, so it's pretty understandable. Borg I didn't get though... An honorable mention to Maestro and Polo Reyes, who were also...

    Worst TDD ever?

    The answer is John Phillips as one has already stated - he's been taken down 12/13 in six UFC-fights. Holland and Chimaev had half of those, besides that it hasn't been the strongest opposition either. :confused:

    Why is the Reyes-Jan fight not the main event of 253

    You answered your own question mate. This went out the window years ago with McGregor getting the main event spot over Lawler vs. MacDonald 2 at UFC 189 (interim belt) and Weidman vs. Rockhold at UFC 194.

    Ufc 250, worth buying ??

    The main event is pretty intriguing, but in my opinion it's not a "real" headliner for a PPV card. You'd think that 250, a milestone of sorts, would have a bigger main event. With that said, I think it's a really, really strong card. It lacks star power, but almost every fight from top to...

    In Hindsight, does anyone really believe Tony would have beat Khabib?

    In hindsight, the man says, before degrading Ferguson, Cerrone and Pettis. :rolleyes: It's all about styles... Khabib might be able to beat Tony on the feet, but we'd probably see their fight go to the ground at some point. That was what'd be interesting. Tony can fight better off his back than...

    In Smith's corner's defense, Smith has a tendency to pull victories from the brink of defeat.

    I get where you're coming from. It's understandable that he wasn't stopped after that third round, but after the fourth, they should have saved him. It's not as bad as Pennington actually asking to be pulled out, but come on. He was done, he said as much as he could, the kind of warrior he is...

    Best Takedown Accuracy

    I don't regard this as that important of a statistic. Look at the list, there's not that many great grapplers on there. Makachev looks like a savage, so I'm very excited to see how good he is, when the opposition gets tougher, but this won't get me hyped. His accuracy will surely drop, when he...

    When was the last time a UFC fighter lost his tooth or teeth in the fight?

    Arlovski must have lost some teeth after the bombs he took late in the first round against Rumble. His mouth was an absolute mess, when he got back to the stool. They fought in WSOF, but still... I'm pretty sure Parisyan also had one of his teeth knocked out from a knee against a prime Sanchez...

    Fighters that lost to stylistically easy matchups

    I know Cruz hasn't been a dominant force in the sport since McGregor was at his peak, which must have been the time when you started following it sporadically, but you're on your own with this bullshit. If I'm mistaken, and you've been watching for a longer time, you should probably watch a...

    Fighters that lost to stylistically easy matchups

    Now I have to give an example as well, instead of just being negative. I'd highlight Pat Barry losing to both Cro Cop and Kongo. They were straight up kickboxing fights he managed to lose. Cro Cop had to try a different approach, because he got smoked, but he wouldn't have survived a focused...

    Fighters that lost to stylistically easy matchups

    Wow. People are way off in here. Obviously Edgar was a better boxer than Mendes. And no, Edgar did not have more power than him. Mendes starched most of his opponents, once he began to strike more after the first Aldo loss. Edgar, on the other hand, has taken so many decisions. Also, Edgar was...

    So are they rebooking Tony vs Gaethje or are they doing Khabib vs Ferguson?

    UFC has to book Khabib vs. Tony as soon as possible. We're at a point where none of them would pull out unless their limbs were litterally falling off. Gaethje was a fantastic replacement, but a fight between him and Tony isn't going anywhere. That's one for the ages, because of their styles, no...

    Can UFC’s best all time submission beat Bellator’s best?

    Imada's inverted triangle was absolutely insane, but I'm not sure if it beats the two twisters or the armbar that Demetrious pulled off on Borg. :) I also love Mir. He might not have been the greatest on the ground, when you consider everything, but his submissions were second to none. Sooo...

    Why don't more cut UFC guys go to Cage Warriors?

    You're right, it was a very disappointing performance. But the man has never fought for five rounds, and he kept talking to his corner during the fight. Then he got some distance, and he went for the takedown himself. I was baffled by the lack of awareness. Everybody knew he needed a knockout...

    Why don't more cut UFC guys go to Cage Warriors?

    This fight was really bad, but dude... Both guys were UFC fighters slated to compete on the London card tomorrow. Stewart looked terrible, but he was on a two-fight win streak before tonight. :confused:

    Does Mirsad Bektic still have potential to become featherweight champion?

    I'm not that sold on him anymore. He didn't fight smart against Emmett, which was a tough matchup, but still. His chin, cardio and defense are questionable, as other people have stated. He might have lost a lot of his prime to injuries. People were so high on him, more so than Holloway or Fili...

    Looking for a Rothwell fight..

    My bad, I think you're right. He turned it on late in the fight, but Schaub was stopped quick, so it can only be Vera. :)
