UFC 317 Discussion Thread

You called him a bum and a joke. I find that ridiculous, so I responded by saying that you were being too harsh, especially when considering his 2018 to 2024 run.

Then you said he was a quitter... Like, sure? But when was the last time he quit? He just got KO´d by a superior fighter.
Charles is a top 10 Lightweight still.

 

Everything is relative. Obviously he's a top fighter, but he's always been a glass cannon. He may have turned the page somewhat but that hasn't changed. This result was very easy to predict.

 

Now this I am fully on board with.

 

Ilia is a ****ing monster

 

I was completely wrong.

 

Topuria is insane. The only weakness is that he's small, but it hasn't mattered yet.

 

Of course he was speaking MMA-wise bruh, hoping he won't get busted for PEDS. But yeah, so far he reminds me more of a Connor if I have to choose a parallelism

 

Much higher level than Connor. Connor was a good fighter, not an elite one for me.

 

Georgia is getting put on the map. Levan Saginashvili, Kvaratskhelia and Topuria.

 

I realized that Pantoja is the longest reigning Flyweight champ since TJ. Bit of a shame that he is 35 years old.

 

Pantoja is outstanding. He deserves to be in the top 5 p4p somewhere. He has to be one of the best ground fighters ever in the ufc.

 

I saw this live with my son as our first UFC event.
Loved the atmosphere. We went in before 4 pm for the pre prelims.
I am not really a fan but great father and son time.

 

Please mark my Words when Topuria gets in the ring with Paddy, Paddy will have a plan kick his legs from under him take him down submit or ground and pound him out of there. Charles was reckless and worked to Topuria's gameplan Very Sillly trying to go toe to toe after getting hit hard. Should of used distance after all its 5 rounds SMH

Oooh Paddy the Baddy Scousers don't get knocked out Well that Scouser wont by Topuria

 

His leg kicks will be very important because he`s bigger and longer than Illia so could attack his lead leg from a safe range like he did vs Chasndler but Paddy keeps his head to high and can`t slip shots, he`s easy to hit and Illia is a harder puncher than anybody Paddy has fought.

 

Again Mark my words
