What fights have you watched today?

Maia and Thompson as WW contenders, probably the best striker and the best grappler in WW history.

I used to think Diaz was a bona-fide WW great, I've already ran out of places for him in my top 10 WW.

Maia has Fitch, Magny, Nelson and two very close losses on his ledger.

Thompson has Whittaker, Cote, Ellenberger and one very close loss on his ledger.

These two are ATG WW guys imo.

 

Weidman vs Belfort.

Belfort starts strong as always but Weidman is able to survive the onslaught, take him down and land a huge g&p to end it in brutal form, cementing his place as an ATG.

 

Rockhold vs Machida

Rockhold was on the wrong end if a brutal loss to Belfort but manages to secured a RNC over the still formidable dragon to rise back up the rankings.

 

Romero vsMachida

Machida is on a bit of a skid here but Romero takes him down and smashes him to announce himself on the world stage.

 

Romero vs Jacare

Romero edges the contest with the more effective strikes to really announce himself as a great talent.

 

Rockhold vs Weidman.

BJJ vs Wrestler as Luke proved to be the better striker and the better grappler to claim his place as the best MW out there.

 

Jones vs Cormier

Well isn't this a fight to spark debate. Does it prove just how great Jones is, or is it a PED tainted victory?

Cormier ran through the HW division to establish himself a top 5 fighter but he came down to LHW to do the same again. Jones is a bona-fide ATG at this point and the question remains as to how great he will be.

A very good back and forth fight with Jones utilising his reach advantage and proving he can match him in the grappling department, as we see Jones take a clear decision victory.

 

Rumble vs Gus

Rumble slaughters Gus early in the first and never let's him off the hook as he announces his LHW credentials in dominant style.

 

Cormier vs Rumble for the LHW crown

Jones has gone off the rails now and Johnson starts very strongly dropping Cormier early but Cormier soon takes it to the ground before securing an RNC to take the crown and secure himself as a genuine great.

 

Rumble vs Manuwa

Rumble wins in dominant fashion to show just how dangerous he is as he clamour for a rematch with DC

 

DC vs Gus

Once more Gus pushes the champ all the way just as he did with Jones.

DC controls large parts of the fight but Gus hurts and stuns DC a few times including dropping him heavily but DC does enough overall to further his credentials as a great LHW.

 

Velasquez vs Werdum

Cain seemed nigh on unbeatable and he starts this fight in very dominant fashion but Werdum fights his way back into the fight with his improved striking.

Werdum begins to outstrike Cain and when Velasquez goes for a lazy takedown Werdum locks in a guillotine to become the new champ.

 

Mir vs Big zfoot

Mir starts off with a huge shot that drops Silva and Mir dives on him to force an early stoppage.

 

Mir vs Duffee

This becomes a rocky type fight as the two just swing for the fences before Mir drops and knocks out Todd to announce his comeback in style.

 

Miocic vs Hunt

Stipe lost a very hard fought battle with JDS but he was able to out strike Hunt and force a stoppage to announce himself as a potential contender.
