243 this weekend guys! Adesanya's up... Some huge action getting into him. His line went from being a slight underdog at 2.25 down to 1.90ish in two days. I already have action on him the moment it went up at Nitrogen (at 2.24ish then a couple of weeks later at 2.19ish).

Edit: Some vids...

I think GSP would be a really good matchup for Khabib but the weight at which the fight would take place is debatable as 170 might favour GSP while 155 would be a very tough weight cut for GSP and favourable for khabib. But no doubt toughest style matchup for Khabib.

All the fans are waiting to see this match up and i hope UFC can make that happen, fun fact is that GSP walks around 190 pounds and Khabib also walks around that weight when he is not fighting but Khabib is not planning to fight GSP above his weight class.
If Khabib is not ready to go up in weight class to fight GSP, not sure GSP is willing to come down to 155 pounds either.

Khabib wants to increase his chances of winning. The UFC is favoring his terms and that is understandable because UFC would lose more if GSP defeats Khabib at a catch weight (say 170). GSP isn't interested in a rematch. He just wants to fight one more time and that's it for him whether he wins or loses.

I consider my self as just a fan of his technique and the beautiful performance he is showing inside the ring is superb I am really amazed by his performance and submission lockdown, If he would master another art then its probably no one can ever beat him head-on.

MMA classes already named moves after Khabib says it all. He is showing moves that the world have not seen when it comes to grappling balance and techniques.

Khabib has already said that he will not move up to 170 and wants GSP to either come down to 155 or meet at 165 for a catchweight bout. I don't think it is likely that this match will happen. But hopefully we get to see the next best contender, Tony Ferguson take on Khabib in the near future.

Why are you talking about GSP, he's retired now. I don't understand, you aren't aware of that or it's a fake news?

Edit: I'm sorry you're right, GSP is officially retired but despite that he could do a super fight against him.

He is great with submission moves, but not as good as Khabib

No one can be Khabib as he is a master in combat Sambo, black belt in Judo and a master in Pankration, i wonder what he can do to others if he masters BJJ too Shocked

.

Well, I consider him as the best that is why I am not the biggest fan out there I consider my self as just a fan of his technique and the beautiful performance he is showing inside the ring is superb I am really amazed by his performance and submission lockdown, If he would master another art then its probably no one can ever beat him head-on.

I think everyones mission in UFC and whole MMA world is to find a fighter that can beat Khabib Nurmagomedov.
He is strong as a rock, and I don't think this mission will be easy, but in time people will find his weakness and exploit it, or Khabib will maybe retire before that

Maybe he would just retire and no one would put a dent to his 28 wins and still counting, Well, every Khabib match will surely take my eyes on to it that's for sure.

MVP is fighting nobodies after his loss to Douglas Lima and i think its bad for his reputation now that he is not undefeated anymore.

Looks like Bellator wants to built a super star in MVP and hence they are giving soft fighters so that they can make highlight reels with every fight, if you check his entire MMA fights he only faced two worthy contenders and even on that he was out cold in one fight. I really liked his fight style and his timing but he is too much cocky even when he defeats nobody, if he fights good legit top ten fighters and stars winning then he can show off after beating them.

I though that Hermansson had some advantage against Cannonier.

The ground skills of Hermansson was great and the only way he could win was if he could trap Cannonier with some leg locks or other sleek locks that we have not seen, to fight him on striking skills we saw the result already as he is a solid striker and powerful too as he is cutting too much weight to get to this division.

Anyone watched Bellator 228, i thought it would be an easy win for Gegard Mousasi against Lyoto Machida but i was wrong, it was a really close fight and Mousasi was holding back for a long time and finally it was a close split decision and someone won my bet.

I guess that is what's wrong with Hermansson, He is great with submission moves, but not as good as Khabib, but watching a lockdown win is very entertaining for me so I thought it will be the same as Hermansson and he may win against Cannonier, But thats OK with me as a Khabib fan I guess Hermansson needs more practice to improve his techniques.

Quote from: senne on September 29, 2019, 08:20:46 AM

Cannonier carries huge power and technical striking in terms of stand up. Hermansson definitely had an advantage on the ground but was unable to take him down. Hence the fight played out in a way that favoured Cannonier as nobody had a significant reach advantage.

I guess I need to move on from this loss, but will certainly still support him and see if he would improve with his techniques against fighters with a huge power output on their strikes, like Cannonier I guess he needs to focus on his defense more, and when the right opportunity comes he can then make his moves fighting in his favor.

Jared Cannonier was to strong for Hermansson.

Jared Cannonier was fighting at light heavyweight and off course he will be too strong for Jack Hermansson but i was expecting some kind of leg lock techniques from Hermansson.

Anyone saw the Michael 'Venom' Page fight, he is fighting nobodies and his antics inside the cage is irritating now, the only time he got a legit opponent in Douglas Lima, Page slept inside the cage and Paul Daley went the distance.

Gunnar Nelson is on a loosing streak now, i thought he had the potential to become a good fighter but looks like he is done.

Let's don't lose on this guy, and even though he's gone through that situation right now most probably there's a problem on his training. Hopefully he'd recover sooner on his current career struggles.

Jared Cannonier was really technical in his bout with hermansson with good head movement and great takedown defense. He completely neutralized Hermansson and finished with ground and pound.
MVP is fighting nobodies after his loss to Douglas Lima and i think its bad for his reputation now that he is not undefeated anymore.

I feel bad for Hermansson But Cannonier just couldn't stop wrecking him and the advantage in the ring is different in the weight in's so my though of Hermansson on winning this fight is just my lost, I have seen something on Jack Hermansson that I haven't seen on Jared Cannonier so I think this is a wrong decision that I though that Hermansson had some advantage against Cannonier.

I already mentioned it before that the fight is not good for Nelson. There's a big difference between fighters who prepared to fight one opponent for months and fighters who will take every opportunity to fight even on short notice and prove something.

John Phillips just won against Alen Amedovski by TKO in first round,
and most of the other matched so far where decision and lasted 3 rounds.
I am waiting for Main Card now

https://twitter.com/UFCEurope/status/1178006384614526978

Whoa!

what a fight it was John Phillips just Wreak Alen Amedovski, He is called Wrecking Machine for nothing indeed! it was a fast fight for Philips, And I criticized Amedovski for just going toe to toe against a heavily build opponent and strike by strike he just keeps on the pace by just giving out punches.

I guess if he would do a different strategy the fight might have a different outcome. In my, opinion UFC is not just brute force but with the knowledge in the strength of your opponent can sometimes become their weakness, But maybe this doesn't have come in the mind of Amedovski.
