No way.

UFC would be stupid to book this and kill the hype already of one of them. They can fight down the line.

Give Ngannou a fight with Browne. Cos I want to see him get cut.

Yes, Predator vs Browne and Lewis vs Hunt.

 

[abstract alien]

Browne isn't fighting again for a year after that.

 

[Archaix]

Why would Ngannou fight somebody who has already lost three in a row? Give him somebody ranked above him so we can learn something other than "Travis Browne should stop fighting top level guys"

 

[zewone]

I still think I'm right that he should fight Lewis:

 

[FUME5]

That is a depressing top 10.

 

[brentech]

MMA documentary 'The Hurt Business' is on Netflix.

 

[Fox318]

They took Barnett off?

Hasn't his bs sample not come back yet?

 

[Mister Wilhelm]

That is a depressing top 10.

It's like a revolving door of guys that have knocked each other's heads off.

Really good interview with Dominick Cruz on JRE yesterday, opens up about his injuries, depression, upbringing, a lot more: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l7L-KB__GxM

One of my favorite fighters ever, great guy.

 

[broz0rs]

I just finished listening to the JRE podcast with Dominic Cruz. A big part of their discussion is philosophical in nature. The part where Cruz opens up about his depression due to his injuries cuts deep.

 

[Eanan]

The best Joe rogan podcast in a long time and it's the shortest also I can remember. Ugh.

 

[Fox318]

Cruz reminds me of Bill Bradley.

I feel like Dom is highly underrated in terms of the P4P list. Wish we could have seen him fight Cody at 100%.
The part about the facsia from his foot being torn off sounds horrifying.

Really good to get some insight into his injuries and depression. I hope he recovers from this current one speedily.

I still think I'm right that he should fight Lewis:

The problem here is mostly the lack of new prospects. The top 10 is mostly old guard and the prospects don't look that exciting. They're also all beating each other and UFC golden boy Cain is made of paper. Dude never fights.

Ngannou is a scary dude, but maybe too green to make a run at the top 5. That's the only interesting wrinkle in the division, IMO.

Exactly. Lewis, Rothwell, and Hunt are the only matchups that really make sense for him.

 

[Levito]

I think Lewis and Ngannou need to be kept away from eachother for now and if they continue to win eventually that fight should be booked. No use killing a prospect when you only have 2 in your division.


I wonder in Stipe will be the first person to defend the belt 3 times?

Certainly possible, but I think Dos Santos will beat him and become champ again.

 

[Brerlappin]

It kinda sucks tho because JDS v Stipe is like battle of the two dudes you'd love to go for a beer with. I don't want to see either lose, but JDS clinches it for me. Such a respectful, humble human being that's capable of taking your head off with a single punch

https://youtu.be/v5a2UoSPBvw

Holy shit at Edmond saying Ronda could KO Cyborg lol

 

[Sato Koiji]

Santos is pretty shot and Stipe has huge momentum right now. Guy visists croatia and has a tight grip around that belt when he meets with politicans.

 

[Chumley]

God damn, I forgot we're getting Reem vs. Hunt next week. Great card, shit is gonna be lit.

I've got Reem, Ferguson, and Woodley.

 

[Maklershed]

Just watched Bellator from the other night.

a) Only 2 of the 8 fighters on the main card have wiki pages.

b) They're really trying to make James Gallagher their Connor aren't they?

c) Colin Fletcher on a main card in 2017? lol

Also...

Did Keanu steal that cap from a bum?

If anyone is allowed to steal a cap from a bum, it's Keanu.

Seeing Keanu use an X guard in John Wick 2 was surreal

Missed that. I do remember plenty of fireman carries and a weak triangle attempt.

Ferguson is using Kevin Gastelum as a training partner. That's a great choice to prepare for Khabib.

 

[Maklershed]

My mind was blown when I watched the first Lethal Weapon not too long ago and Gibson does a legit triangle choke on a guy.

 

[Fox318]

The submission grappeling in John Wick is crazy.

You can tell he wanted to show that off l more than anything else.

It's like every other kill

 

[Fox318]

It's like every other kill

I'm pretty sure he had a scarf hold choke while shooting somebody else.

Only thing missing was a wrestlers guillotine.

Ferguson vs Nurmi is the most hype non-title fight in ages.


Really couldn't tell you who's favoured there.

 

[zewone]

I bet on Ferguson.

10th Planet Jiu Jitsu for life.

 

[juliushandle]

maia vs masdival is unofficial. hope it happens. that's a great match up for maia and will solidify him as the #1 contender ...unless GSP wants that 170 title fight.

i'm more hyped for that fight than the woodley rematch, tbh

 

[Sato Koiji]

Ferg/Khabib is the real main event.

 

[Brerlappin]

Sambo vs 10th planet JJ, hyped as fuck for that fight. Especially after Dan Hardy's inside the octagon. Really enjoy his breakdown videos

Glad Ferguson took that gamble, held out for more money, and will get paid $200k+. I think the hype around this fight has shown the UFC that these guys are worth their pay.

lol I didn't even know until khabib started talking about it on embedded

If by contacts you permanent tattoos, yes he does.

Maia vs Masdival confirmed for UFC 211 Dallas with Stipe vs Dos Ajos and JJ vs Andrade.

Nice. Next 3 events are going to make up for 208.

 

[BigJonsson]

You mean Dos Santos right? Dos Anjos at heavyweight would be bad
