    Max has always had power

    He always had decent power but I think it was clear that he added quite a bit of power going into this fight. Never has he showed the power to severely stun let alone KO for minutes someone with as solid a chin as Gaethje.

    Michael Chandler: Conor McGregor Announced Fight at 185 Pounds to 'Establish Dominance'

    Is there any documented reason this fight is now almost 7 months away? They've waited so long to announce it and now they announce the date and it's over half a year away. And on another note, the higher McGregor goes up in weight, the worse it is for his style of fighting. All of his success...

    Media Jiri TOWER over Alex Perreira

    They look the same size tbh. Jiri just has a bigger head and hair in a bun that sticks straight up.

    Media Was Fedor Emelianenko A Can Crusher?

    Certainly cannot be defined as a can crusher but the length of his undefeated run and the perception of him being invincible was enhanced by mixing in a fair number of cans. Same thing with Wand. Two of my favorite fighters of all time but Pride knew how to give them guys to crush in order to...

    Media Jon Jones is training with Gordon Ryan to prepare for Stipe fight

    Stipe's gameplan for this fight has to be boxing and sprawl to keep the fight standing at all costs. It's clear Jon's HW training plan is to become an uber-beast of grappling. And I believe that with his training partners, budget of training camp, motivation, and physical attributes he is...

    TheWeasle: What Really Happened (Israel Adesanya vs Sean Strickland)

    Sean beat him with educated pressure. If you pressure Izzy with foolish aggression you get countered big. Izzy gets uncomfortable with pressure but can land huge counters against it. Strickland constantly made him move backwards but never went forward so much that he was a good target. I also...

    How do you rate Bisping as a commentator

    He's okay. Better when more sober and measured. The more talkative he is on the mic (when he's tipsy most likely) the less I like him. When he picks his spots as opposed to going on and on I like him. Overall I prefer him to DC and he's about even with Cruz.

    When Bon Gamin is on point Jones stands no chance

    He would have to start pouring on his offense and get the ball rolling his way. If he comes out passive, Jones gets a hold of him and strangles him again. I think Jones at HW is beatable as he is slow and probably underpowered in his striking. But I also think HW Bones is strong as an ox and if...

    Media *** Skinny Alistair Overeem MEGA THREAD ***

    I wonder if his doctor told him that all the supplements he was doing were causing a major health issue. He was bulking up massively sans testing and talking about continuing to fight. Then all of a sudden he announces that he is retiring and shrinks crazily. To me that tells me somehow he found...

    News Alex Pereira vs Jan Błachowicz set for UFC 291 in Salt Lake City, July 29

    Kind of like Jan in this fight. He should be able to take down Pereira and do damage from the top. And Jan has the better chin. Pereira, while dangerous as fuck with his own strikes, fights with his hands low and his head high. Coming off a brutal KO, going up in weight, and facing a power...

    News *** Francis Ngannou Free Agency/Contract/Decision Making Discussion MEGA THREAD ***

    He could be contracted to make huge money but "gambled on himself" thinking he could make obscene money. And so far that gamble has not paid off at all. He's contracted to make nothing as of now and his prime years are evaporating.

    Media Cejudo says O'Malley is next: "He’s a privileged brat, I’m going to hurt him."

    He needs to be focusing only on Sterling. I think Aljo is going to be a bit too much for Cejudo at this point, and he may re-retire if he loses in a non controversial way. Too much time off and Aljo has looked phenomenal + will have a huge size advantage.

    Gane-Jones still has me rattled..

    The outcome made sense because all of Gane's victories and success involve him beating guys with no intention to take him down. A HW Jones has the perfect attributes to do what he did. It was just disappointing because we wanted see Jon striking against HWs. We got no real questions answered...

    PBP UFC 286 - Edwards vs. Usman 3: Main Card PBP Discussion - Sat. 3/18 at 5pm ET/2pm PT

    For looking like such a tank, Vettori's lack of punching power is astounding. He looks like he's punching with weights in his hands.

    Jones win is not impressive at all

    It's very impressive in that Jones looked like a mountain of strength at HW. Just disappointing because it left a lot of unanswered questions. He won in the smartest, most efficient way. But we didn't see him face any adversity whatsoever. Not even hit once that I can remember.

    Props to Jones but Gane was a disaster last night should get rid of lopez

    Gane has very limited experience fighting wrestlers and grapplers. He is used to prototypical HW brawlers that he can use his technical striking against. Staying upright needed to be his main focus early when they were dry and Jones still had full cardio. Jones was just too fast in his pursuit...

    How does Jones beat Stipe?

    I could see Jones' sweet spot being in the clinch against Stipe.

    Jones was boxing the ears off Gane before the takedown

    He clearly studied Gane and realized that pressure is the way to get to him. If he had come out with his usual LHW striking gameplan (pick away from distance) he probably would have had problems once Gane figured out his range. Gane is a bit too experienced to effectively come with a new game...

    Just seen the stare down

    Fight is almost impossible to forecast not having seen Jon at HW. We know he'll be stronger but have no idea what his speed and cardio will look like. And even what his striking and wrestling will be like. If he spent much more of camp focusing on power, will his technique suffer? Will he have...

    Jones vs Gane Will Be A Plodder and Will Annoy Dana

    It could end up slow and somewhat boring but one of those fights where even if it is, the anticipation of something exciting happening will keep everybody enthralled throughout. So many unknowns with Jones and I could see him being defensive in his first fight against HW power/reach and I can...
