Yes, Wonderboy KO'ed Hendricks and Robert Whittaker. He also beat Rory McDonald, Kevin Holland, Geoff Neal, Jake Elllenberger, Jorge Masvidal, Vicente Luque. He was arguably robbed against Darren Till.
He also had two close fights with Woodley. The 2nd fight especially could have gone to...
1. GSP
2. Matt Hughes
3. Usman
4. Jake Shields
5. Robbie Lawler
6. Tyron Woodley
7. Wonderboy Thompson
8. Johny Hendricks
9. Leon Edwards
10. Nick Diaz or Carlos Condit or Militech or Newton
I might be forgetting somebody
That was such a a good fight. Smothering wrestling vs active Jiu jitsu.
Loved the style clash.
Both are elite fighters. It was a high level fight that happened early in their paths. I knew it then and it has only been confirmed by both guys' last few performances since then. Both guys have...
Lmao! I would have been ok with that too! Actually, that would have been the best case scenario!
I always call it a night early and skip the main event when two women are the headliners. Only time I remember watching one was Holm vs Tate.
Yes, this is really my only complaint. Nerds on Sherdog act like the fight placement doesn't matter but that was a major buzz kill last night. I was hanging out with about 10 friends and we all went bananas when Max dropped Gaethje. One of the greatest moments ever. We felt so alive and happy...
This fight is so exciting. It could really go either way.
Cody still got power and sick boxing.
Figgy has enough power to rock Cody, take his back and choke him.
Also, Figgy looked great in his Bantamweight debut. There could still be questions in this division but it's also interesting how...
I agree and that's all he really can do. He has to psyche himself up and believe in himself. That's his only chance.
He knows he is about to fight a man who was the best kickboxer on earth. He is about to fight a master level striker. Hill knows he is going up against a striker on a whole...
- Matt Hughes would out wrestle almost every Welterweight right now. Only Usman, Khamzat and Colby have the skills to defend his takedowns. Maybe Shavkat too but I'm still not completely sold on his wrestling either. Hughes might just slam him and manhandle him like he did to so many others
-...
It's hard to top BJ Penn but Max is very close with his resume.
I just looked at their records and they both have around 15 or 16 high quality wins. Both have beaten some great fighters. BJ beat Hughes 2x, Gomi, Sherk, Diego. Max has beaten guys like Aldo 2x, Charles, Pettis.
BJ's peak was...
Exactly!
It's sad how some people don't understand this. If Nog had retired right there these fairweather fans would actually hold him in higher regard. Not me. I respect him more for continuing to fight past his prime, even if he lost some he was also winning some too. Bro was blind in one...
Best MMA heavyweight ever? Obviously yes.
A great all around grappler? Yes.
Best heavyweight wrestler ever in MMA? Not even close.
Mark Coleman, Mark Kerr, Randy Couture, Brock Lesnar, Cain Velasquez, Daniel Cormier, Kevin Randleman, Tom Erikson were all obviously better wrestlers. Fedor...
I have done the same thing in training a few times. I have shot in for a takedown and my head either hit their knee or their hip and it almost rocked me. Happened once in MMA sparring, once in wrestling, once in BJJ. The most embarrassing was when it happened when we were just drilling...
Street fights usually leave more cosmetic damage because they are fought bare knuckle.
In MMA, we wear gloves which lessons the cuts and cosmetic damage a bit.
Yes, Hill is good and the win over Glover is a good win. But we also must remember Glover was over 40 years old in that fight. He was so slow by that point. Sure, Glover had nearly beaten Jiri in the previous fight but I think that further highlights how weak the division has become. Jiri is an...
Also, I hate to admit it but we need to give GSP some credit for this category too.
Georges the young Karate Kid from Canada was somehow repeatedly taking down high level D1 wrestlers and grapplers in the Octagon. He was beating them at their own game. Taking them down and holding them down...
This is exactly what I came to say. He only did it for tactical reasons.
With Cro Cop he was definitely looking to push him back and put Mirko on the back foot to avoid the kicks, and get to the clinch and eventually set up takedowns. He definitely was prepared for striking exchanges from all...
