Dang, that is too bad. Maybe he wanted more time to recover after getting KO'd?

As far as Conor, if I had to bet I would say we don't see him until December/January. He absorbed more damage his last two fights than I saw him absorb in his entire career before.

Money talks though, so who knows.

I say its 80% that he fights at MSG. Dana will pay what he needs to so that Conor fights at the first UFC NY card.

Re: OS MMA Random Thread

Do you guys think there is any way that Travis Browne will leave Glendale? Something tells me if he does that he will have to leave Ronda, too. It's too bad he probably can't convince him to go with him to Jackson's.

Honestly the fight I really want to see is Jessica Andrade vs Claudia Gadelha. I don't know if they train together or not, though.

Also, something about Mickey Gall kind of bugs me, a lot actually. Watching everything now, I dunno. Something the kid is kind of unlikable, to me. It isn't so much what he says, it's more how he says it, how he acts.

Do you guys think Werdum will get fined for the Edmond kick?

I am not a huge of Sage fighting at 170 but it sounds like the Gall fight might happen.

Re: OS MMA Random Thread

Don't know about Werdum. If it happened on fox I'm sure he would get fined.

Mickey was trying way to hard with the f bombs, sounded like it was his first time saying it and he was worried about getting grounded or something.

My hypothesis is that you're just bummed about about your guy CM Punk getting mauled.

Mickey is a legit Martial Artist, and a serious prospect. The kid is a stud on the ground. Anyone who knows BJJ, and watched this kids open workout, or any of his grappling matches can tell you he's very legit.

Sage has competed at 170 multiple times, in wrestling, kickboxing, and MMA.

In all honesty 170 is his natural weight class.

What the hell are you talking about? I am sorry but this post puzzles me.

I never said anything about his ability as a mixed martial artist. He looks like a serious prospect. He is explosive and strong. I expected him to beat the crap out of punk. Since when is CM Punk "my boy," anyway?

I said the dude sounds like a jackass. IMO, he came off like a bit of a jackass in his post fight interviews. Sorry if that opinion bothers you.

I disagree 100 percent about Sage. He is better at 155, in my opinion. I expect him to get overpowered, again, if he fights at 170 again in the UFC. Your natural weight class is the weight class you compete most effectively in. Period.

Re: OS MMA Random Thread

I agree with both you guys.

Sage seems like a genuine good kid, and Gall's in cage interview made me cringe. It seemed unnatural with the f bombs.

I can't imagine what it would actually be like for Gall to be experiencing that. If be nervous as all get.

I don't know anything about Jiu Jitsu, but Gall really seemed to just flow when grappling. It looked like second nature, was pretty smooth.

Re: OS MMA Random Thread

Has Joanna's next fight been announced? Seems like 205 could be a good spot for her, not as a main event or anything, but on the main card.

Re: OS MMA Random Thread

Your natural weight class is where your body more naturally exists without dehydrating 20 lbs of water from your body.

Like Dustin Porier fightng at FW even though hes a natural LW, or Gunni fighting at his natural weight class of WW, even though he could drain himself to LW if he wanted.

Again, Sage has competed in kickboxing, wrestling, and MMA at 170 multiple times. He actually has more fights at 165-170 than he does at 155...

For sure.

Who do you think Cowboy will fight at 205? Random question but I am just super curious about how that card is gonna stack up.

Do you think the give him a shot at 155, if Conor doesn't fight Eddie? Could market it around how Cowbow beat Eddie pretty handily the first time.

Not saying I want that to happen, just thinking out loud over the possibilities.

Cerrone vs Larkin would be fun, but think they would want a higher profile fight for Cerrone. Lawler vs Cerrone seemed so awesome. I wouldn't mind seeing Cerrone vs Nick Diaz, but Diaz hasn't paid his fine yet.

Re: OS MMA Random Thread

Cerrone Diaz would be amazing. Lets do it!

[Dave_S]

Re: OS MMA Random Thread

IF Jones comes back earlier than expected I wouldn't mind seeing him vs Stipe.

There just isn't that many people deserving at HW currently. Everyone lost fairly recently in spectacular fashion.

I don't think Overeem will get a shot again for a while. That leaves you with Cain, JDS and Werdum. No matter what happens i don't want to see JDS vs Cain again, unless Cain looks iffy and JDS looks spectacular in their next fights.

If I made the fights I'd probably give Werdum the rematch. From a financial standpoint I think Stipe vs Cain gets more buys and public interest though.

Re: OS MMA Random Thread

Wow I hate seeing stuff like this

http://www.mmafighting.com/2016/9/11/12877676/jimmie-rivera-has-crack-behind-retina-after-being-poked-in-the-eye

Rivera might have some serious issues after that eye poke against Urijah.

It's too bad it seems like there is really nothing that can/will be done about pokes. I know Rogan talks a lot about using different gloves.

Hope Rivera is 100 percent OK once this heals up or gets treatment for

Also, it looks like no punishment coming for Werdum
