i know we're all supposed to be aboard the weidman hype train, but munoz isnt that good.

Thank you
Munoz is.. ok.

His takedowns have never even looked very good for a highly touted wrestler.

Bisping would tool him.

 

[Heel]

This thread title really is perfect, isn't it? Maybe NCAA division 1 champion Mark Munoz can actually wrestle? Maybe when two talented fighters compete, someone must lose? Interesting concept.

 

[FACE]

Munoz was ko'd by Matt Hamil, I don't blame them for questioning his standing as a contender.

 

[Heel]

He also beat a former UFC title contender, who earned that shot by beating Dan Miller. See how this works? Everyone is a can in the MMA rear view.

It's like no one can have a valid win anymore. Weidman made a div 1 champion look like a horrible grappler. Fact.

Matt Hamill remains one of my big nemeses from UFC Undisputed 3. For some reason they gave him and Rampage Jackson freakish, Baby Huey strength, and that forever colors my interpretations of the real-life fighter.

brah you fail to see the big picture, the entire middleweight division is weak. only reason a brah like munoz was a contender in the first place was because the division is so thin.

Theyre all cans waiting to get opened up. Name any fighter and we can systematically invalidate their whole career. No one is safe, friends. No one.

 

[parrotbeak]

The mw division is great; everyone else just looks bad because Spider is so good. It's not like the Pride hw division where everyone really did suck.

Give them time, Heel. Can't look in the rear mirror until you've driven past the scattered mess of scrap metal that are last year's elite.

Jon Jones is a product of Greg Jackson's shitty game planning that is ruining MMA. He also has been lucky to face a bunch of competition that is over the hill and past their prime, which will continue with his upcoming bout against Dan Henderson. If and when he ever gets some real competition we will see how limited his arsenal really is.

Wait until BJ Penn is done bulking up, that fraud will get exposed.

Machida and Rashad are over the hill?

I'm just back from my weekend in Hong Kong. I heard I missed the card of the century the other night, and I'm quite sad now.

Fedor's aluminium core has already been exposed, BJ probably Dos Santos' belt.

Don't be a spoilsport yaco, he already got someone.

Thank you for shifting the focus to yet another overrated wrestler who lost to Matt Hammil via strikes.

Matt Hammil beat his ass so bad Jones got DQ'd.

Welcome to mma gaf. I assume you don't have an official lexicon of the thread yet.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Hamill is a beast. He has wins on his resume over Bones Jones and MW contender Mark Munoz, and was robbed of a win over potential no.1 contender Michael Bisping.

Don't forget he also beat the legend Tito Ortiz, and top 5 middle weight contender Tim Boetsch.

 

[Pimpwerx]

she has some weird finger.

I'm gonna guess a broken finger that was never set properly. My right pinky finger looks exactly the same. I broke it in a fight many moons ago. PEACE.

so, which is it? is munoz a can now that he lost? or is weidman now unstoppable because he won?

Both, they are not mutually exclusive. See Overeem, Alistair.

How very dare you, I must have made at least 3 posts here without Bispings name in.

sorry, my point wasnt clear. heel seems to be making a dig at those of us that dont think munoz is very good (not a new opinion of mine btw) by mocking "us" with the thread title. i was pointing out that he, and others, are already building up weidman more then he is deserving. the flip side of the very fitting thread title.

but, like everything with MMAgaf these days - i'm not sure why i bother posting. weeding through all the trolling to get to honest opinions has become increasing difficult.

 

[yacobod]

tbh brah, what's there to discuss in mma?

product has gone stale, injuries, lack of personalities, and over-saturation of the product, have all hurt the ultimate in the last year.

but don't worry there will be another shitty card to buy for 65 bucks in 2 weeks.

 

[Heel]

top 5 middle weight contender Tim Boetsch.

To think hes one Bisping or Stann away from a title shot is a reality I'm not ready to cope with.

 

[Chamber]

Who else at 185 has done more to deserve a title shot? Regardless of what anyone thinks about Weidman, he has the best resume of all the would be contenders.

Lombard's monumental fail makes 185 even more hopeless.

Hey, it's 3 weeks for the next shitty ppv. The shitty card in 2 weeks is free on Fox.
edit: beaten by pitbull

After 149, the free Fox card looks fanfuckingtastic.

I can think of biblical plagues that I'd look fondly upon compared to 149.

149 made me question if I really want to keep watching this "sport".

Edit: I may have been overly dramatic about it in the nerd chat.

As someone said in the nerd chat the best fight on the main card was Matthew Riddle's fight, then you realize in horror that Matthew Riddle was fighting on the main card.

Edit: The best thing about 149 was seeing a horse posing as a ring girl.

Dream said that. Riddle was Also the best part of the presser. Yaco missed one hell of a promo that saw Riddle get a fight with Dan Hardy... lol

 

[yacobod]

can't fault him for picking an easy target with name recognition. where's brian stann calling out wand when you need him?
