That was a good and clean performance by Max Holloway and a bad loss for Anthony Pettis' career. He cannot be a contender in the light weight division and he cannot make the weight in feather weight. Anthony is in limbo now and this could be the start of his deterioration in MMA.

Max has also said that he wants to fight Jose Aldo at UFC 208 for the unification of the titles.

Antony Pettis is on a losing steak after losing his world title,he lost to Alvarez , Barboza and now Max Holloway he had a win over Charles Oliveira after losing three straight,he is only 29 years of age but years of fighting has caught up with him or people knows how to defeat him with all his flashy technique.

The original UFC 206 wasnt Cormier vs Johnson? I think it got cancelled because of a Cormier injury, it sucks since I was looking forward to that match. I was hoping for a Cormier win, then a Jon Bones Jones rematch.

Btw did anyone see this fight? Jon Jones wrestled Hendo recently:

Jon Jones defeated Hendo quite easily and the word is that Jon Jones is now concentrating to develop his BJJ skills and we would see more broken bones in the light heavy weight division when the legend returns. I am sure he is the best MMA fighter ever and the only problem was he was having too many issues outside the ring.Hope he changes everything atleast for now.

Cub Swanson vs Choi is fight of the year! It's been a while since I watched a battle like this in the UFC. Lawler vs Rory Mac Donald come to mind seeing how tough these two guys are. I wish there will be a rematch soon. Definitely want to see them fight again.

I expected a good fight from Doo Ho Choi and we got a fight of the year hands down .Cub Swanson made a point here by winning the match and he fought really well and i am yet to watch the match again as i just want to watch it again to fully enjoy the ride

but i thought Doo Ho Choi could knock Cub Swanson out and i was wrong since the only man to knock Cub Swanson is the great Jose Aldo.

I had my doubts that Cub Swanson will hold his own versus Choi. But an opponent like Cub is a huge jump in skill and experience for Choi.

In other news Anthony Pettis has given up on the quest for the feather weight title because the weight cut is too much for him. But he is going back to light weight. I speculate that he will retire within the next 2 years because he cannot beat the contenders in light weight anymore.

Kennedy was a mess, i just wonder why his support staff did not stop it when Tim was looking groggy the round before he got knocked-out.

I made some money by betting on a Cowboy Cerrone win and it seems like I did the right thing. It was the only guy that I was familiar with, the rest of the guys didn't ring any bell for me on this card. I will wait until december 31 to gamble again in the Rousey-Nunes fight which should have a massive price pot. The problem is, I cannot decide who to bet a win for. Both are very good competitors..

Congrats fella!
About the coming Rousey-Nunes, I would be putting my chips on Rousey.

So I wasn't able to watch the event live. But I heard that the Swanson vs Choi fight was really awesome. Looking forward to watch the replay later. After Pettis missed weight I lost interest. I didn't even make a single bet on the event. I also heard that Pettis broke his hand in round one..?

Yes pettis broke in right hand in the first round and he continued fighting until he lost in the third round and Max Holloway has called out Jose Aldo for the title belt and it will be a great fight as both fighters lost out to Connor Mcgregor and fighting for the belt Grin

and this will be the last match for Pettis in this division as its hard for him to cut weight .

Here are the weigh ins for UFC 206. Well apparently Pettis missed weight. Would this have an effect on the way he fights psychologically? Will he be all out guns blazing since he has nothing to lose or will he not care anymore and perform slightly lower than his usual level?

Uploaded just recently in the UFC channel on YouTube. There are some funny moments there as the fighters were facing off. I especially liked the Cerrnone and Brown face off best. Cerrone is such a cool guy. And check out Holloway's jacket! Grin

Hello.

Cowboy Cerrone is one of my personal favorite. The fierce but calm aura he projects is just something incredible.

Well good luck bettors!

To all MMA the fans out here look out for Dooho Choi he is facing Cub Swanson both are awesome fighters but Doo ho Choi is an up coming super talent and is considered as a future champion he has 12 wins by knockout and won 15 matches till now and lost 1 in a split decision .He is young just 25 years old and for all the MMA betters look out for him .

Doo Ho Choi is going to destroy Cub Swanson on the feet. The best strategy for Cub is to come out and wrestle with Choi right from round 1. If you remember Thiago Tavares took him down easily before getting back up and finishing him. Cub Swanson has the heart but it will not be enough versus a fighter like Choi. He is a future star in the making.

Exactly Thiago Tavares was a high level fighter and when he was taken down Do Ho Choi just took it as a time to take some breath and all the while controlling Thiago Tavares head to get the leverage and soon as he is read he just pops up.He is a talent with brutal knock out power and i am sure he is future.His faints and accuracy are the points to be noted ,Like Connor Mcgregor i would say in terms of striking accuracy .

Posting more videos to help you guys, and me, in deciding who to bet for especially in the main event. I know Holloway is the guy to bet on since he's still reaching his peak and I think Pettis is slowly getting of his. But Holloway could be a good match up for Pettis in theory because Holloway isn't a fighter who can take down Pettis (just my humble opinion). So this match up could be closer than what the odds make it appear. Anyway I still haven't made any decisions yet for 206.

Here are the vids. Enjoy!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jhqCJ5CFld0

Thanks for the vids. I like how Anthony Pettis fights and want him to win but I've seen Max Holloway fight and it is not going to be easy at all. Pettis is a lil unpredictable and thats what I like about him, on the other hand Max Holloway is a machine. Would be a good title fight and can't wait for it.
