Re: OS MMA Random Thread

First prelim on now:
Zhikui v Lausa
Lausa wins by decision.

Vera v Guangyou
Vera by decision

Hooker v Knight
Knight wins a new fan in me and the decision

Brown wins controversial decision

Kelly v Camozzi
Kelly by decision

Re: OS MMA Random Thread

I like Nguyen, dude is a legit good dude. Also like Camozzi, disappointing to see him lose.

Nguyen said he's never thrown a punch outside of the gym or competition, that's impressive to me.

Some pretty solid fights tonight.

Re: OS MMA Random Thread

Sad Cormier got injured but apparently Aldo is the official Featherweight champ again and Pettis v Holloway for interim as new main event as rumored.

Good main card opener
Ham was looking better at the start

Now one of Anderson Silva's past training partner who apparently KOd him.
Rountree v Pedro
Great sub finish from Pedro who survives an early knockdown

Kasuya v Volkanovski
Another great finish, finishing the decision streak and started a finish streak.
Volkanovski by gnp tko out of leg lock sub

Noke v Akhmedov
Akhmedov by decision

Mathews v Holbrook

Re: OS MMA Random Thread

TUF finale should be excellent this year.

[Dave_S]

Re: OS MMA Random Thread

That was awesome as all get, late stoppage though.

[johnmangala]

Re: OS MMA Random Thread

Excellent finish by Whitaker. Brunson seemed a little too aggressive and got caught for it, I think if he were little more composed like the Hall fight he couldve got the finish.

I'm guessing MM v Elliott?

That Lomachenko fight was sick gets Walters to quit in 7 rds. Glad to see Lomachenko get it done and would love too see his fight style branched out in mma, Dillashaw and Cruz good footwork but MM best transitioning so far.

Re: OS MMA Random Thread

I already figured who would win the show before mighty mouse even knew about it. I know one competitor was tweeting excitement to go on show before DJ learned about it on twitch. The winner of the show was leaked at some point iirc.

Hope DJ doesn't get the Serra treatment.

Re: OS MMA Random Thread

Man i'v been a big fan of Whittaker for a while now. What a wild fight. WTF was Brunson thinking literally just running at Whittaker, head forward, chin up...

Awesome finish from Whittaker though. His striking is awesome. Love these Karate guys.



The Lomachenko fight was dope too. That guys footwork is unbelievable. The way he cuts corners around guys, and turns them all around is just insane. Never seen a guy just quit in the corner like that because he was so outmatched.

You read it here first, second or some number after that.

Helwani
"Breaking: Conor McGregor has been issued a boxing license in the state of California, per his manager @AudieAttar."

It will be interesting to see if the UFC lets him do that. Unless he negotiated this out of his agreement, the UFC standard contract only permits fighters to do other combat sports if they get permission.

Likely another chess move by Conor to get the UFC to fold on the next negotiation.
