Max played on Justin's ego and it worked. Max knew he was sharper and more composed in the pocket than Justin, but also realized Justin's only way to win was to slug it out. Justin, as the highlight and human car crash, obliged. Simple.
He needs a ranked guy, now. He's been given enough chances. If he gets smoked in his next fight, then he'll just go down as a big hype job until he can prove otherwise.
Aspinall is really the last hope for those who cling on to the idea that Jones will be 'posterized' in the octagon. Jones has either defended or fought for a title in his 13 year reign at the top in the UFC. Could Aspinall beat Bones? Maybe. It seems he has the right body, age and amalgam of...
Anthony is throwing shade on Magny, but Magny is in 6th place for total number of wins in the UFC and has the most wins at WW in the UFC. Say what you want about Magny, but the man fights up and comers, vets, monsters, etc. He never ducks a fight and is relatively consistent. Sure he has losses...
This might have been a good fight five years ago. Would have been a great fight six years ago. To even think about matching them together now is mean. Are you a mean person?
The kind of beating Vera took was nothing short of an abomination.. Sean's striking display was picture perfect. With the exception of a couple if iffy moments, Sean's gameplan was as good as it gets.
The approach against him has to involve clinch work, dirty boxing and TDs. There is no...
Yes. While Jailton probably isn't that much of a threat on the feet, he does have a prolific TD game. Curtis has a good base, though was taken down repeatedly, was able to fend off a sub and not totally gas out. Curtis recognized the low shot from Jailton, sprawled, and took care of businesses...
People see Chito being knocked out by Sean? I can see Chito losing a decision, but TKOed? I guess if he lunges in and fights recklessly, but that would be criminally off kilter for him.
Thing is, Volk can fight forward or off the back foot. The problem is that it isn't a sure fire way to win a fight for him against certain opponents.
Khabib needs to pressure to win fights. It's hard to impose a heavy grappling approach if you're on the back foot. Look at Colby vs. Leon for...
Sure. Long as Colby doesn't think he should fight for the strap soon, it's logical for him to pick a big name and ruffle some feathers. Though, can he convince the fans that Wonderboy is the right match-up? I think a bout with Luque or Burns would sell. Those are tough nights out though. Luque...
I think one scenario could be true for one and not the other in this case. Sometimes, and it's industry standard, that two guys who are on a tear fight each other and a number contender is declared for either winner. But this case is different in that Colby just lost a fight to the champ. I...
I kinda see the same. Shavkat has the submission threat, but as long as Leon keeps it clean and doesn't get too confident in the offensive wrestling front, he should do fine. Leon can afford to fool around with Colby because Colby only has defensive BJJ and 0 stat offensively from a submission...
It's between Jon and GSP. While Fedor is fairly rounded, he has some easily exploitable cracks. He can get sloppy by over extending himself and has been caught in guard.
Jones isn't very good in the mid range, but his mitigation is head movement and distance management. His weakness is...
Luque should accept. He basically trained for the same type of fighter in Ian, a tall and rangey striker. Only difference is that Ian favors leg kicks a bit more, but Kevin uses a similar approach and has a better 1, 2.
