I just caught the highlights and even those were a snoozer. Ngannou with the takedown tho. But hey, at least he dominated and finished the fight with a brutal ground and pound.
Im predicting a huge upset this week between Rakic and Ankalaev. Ank gets his legs kicked very easily.
Never said it shouldn't happen but be patient ffs. I'd rather see him fight Ngannou after Stipe though.
I just lost out on almost $800 of winnings because Bo couldnt keep from getting stopped. Dude was either too mentally weak or too stupid to chain wrestle and kept it standing when he should have grappled. So tired of the glazing these wrestlers get, how mentally tough they are, how they are the apex predators ect ect. Just saw one of the best wrestlers ever get manhandled and borderline quit.
Crazy how dead this section is. Used to at least have a bit of discussion in it... now its basically a waste of bandwidth ghost town.
I’m very quickly learning the flaws of Dana and the UFC after only watching for about 2 years regularly (1 year extremely casually) It is the best we’ve got, but there’s only really 2 divisions that excites me long term at the moment and that’s Welterweight and Middleweight. Pantoja is dominating at featherweight Bantamweight we have a pointless title fight rematch that no one asked for and really wasn’t deserved by O’Malley Featherweight we have old man Volk back on top despite clearly not being the best featherweight in the world Lightweight is still gatekept by old past it dudes that circle jerk and fight each other, Not giving younger prospects the chances to actually face a higher level of opponents. Therefore being exposed to what they need to work on Light-Heavy has so potentially fun matches, but for the last 2 years its just been Alex knocking guys the **** out and he finally meets this so called ‘wrestler’ who isn’t a wrestler and gets out struck (honestly in think Alex is and was burnt out and isn’t giving himself enough time to rest) And heavyweight don’t even get me started. What an embarrassment to leave maybe the most dangerous man on the planet a whole year without fighting and we’re probably having to wait another 6 months to see him not even fight for the title They should really ditch 1 fight night card a month to have better PPVs and try and implement some kind of rule that if you don’t fight within a year, you lose a certain amount of places in the rankings to try and help fix these issues.
The problem is that fighters have woken up. They arent as easy to acept fighting for peanuts anymore asthey used to.
Have you gone back and watched old stuff? MMA peaked in the mid 00s through early 10s imo. It pales in comparison now sadly.
