Today na today. Hand must touch Street Judas Masvidal

Easy money for Usman. I don't know what the Masvidal fanboys were expecting.

I think Kamaru even showed him mercy as he kept the beating to a minimum

Adesanya vs Costa

September 19

Let's go there. If Izzy survives the first two rounds it's likely he wins

Costa is all power and no brain Uriah hall dropped him with a jab Izzy make him miss and gas out then knocked him out

DC vs Stipe trilogy should be epic.

Also want to see Jairzinho and JDS. A lot of people are writing off JDS which is surprising to me because this man lost to two of the top 4 guys in the division but we saw same Rozenstruik didn't survive 20 seconds with Ngannou

Poor DC. Looked absolutely crushed. Nothing worse than going out with an L and worse knowing that you are runner up to the two GOATs of their respective divisions. I hope history is kinder to DC and remembers him more than just a bridesmaid. This man beat Rumble Johnson twice and beat Josh Barnett and Derrick Lewis as a criminally undersized heavy. Hope his eye heals too. Stipe got away with some egregious eyepokes


And now let's see if Stipe does the right thing and gives Ngannou a rematch. He's the only one worthy of the next shot at the belt. I don't care how convincing his first win was

Really hope so. The fight is set. UFC 253

Then you'll have to wait for another year, the guy is holding up the division, 3 fights in 3 years.

To be fair he was mostly hurt. This man has defended his belt 4 times. I'm inclined to give him benefit of doubt

Maybe Jon Jones has finally gotten the stones to rumble with the Heavies after all but good on Dana to insist that Ngannou is the rightful challenger. Would love to see Jones vs the Heavies I've always considered him pretty huge for a LH and looking at his brothers you almost wondered what took him so long

Everybody is hurt, is it Israel against gastelum, or Jones vs Reyes. If every champs behave like that, there will be hold up of the entire division, Francis is due for a title fight, lewis too, even blaydes, when are these one gonna got a chance again.
When someone had 3 chances in less 2 years, in person of Romero

Well then the neutral should be hoping for Ngannou to knock Stipe the fuq out so he retires or something. For now Stipe calls the shots for when he fights and to be fair he's earned it

Izzy vs Costa in 2 weeks

Woodley needs to fuckin retire at this point. Disgraceful showing yesterday. I'm pretty sure Dana is going to cut him.

When will they stop feeding Khamzat these cans? Let's see him fight someone credible next

Eazy..

I think the way he fought Romero compared to how Izzy fought Romero really fooled a lot of people.

I always felt if he survived the first two rounds he was good to go but alas Costa's fight IQ is arguably the lowest of a challenger I have ever seen. Izzy exposed him so badly it was comical. Dude transformed to a clown in the Octagon

Literally doggystyled him at the end he might need to see a sports psychologist because this will take some recovering

Okafor law: once , it cannot be un

So, we have an MMA thread on Nairaland?

Awesome.

Meanwhile, the first UFC event of 2021 will hold tonight.

That's after a 3-week break.

We're back in Abu Dhabi.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/UFC_on_ABC:_Holloway_vs._Kattar

Prelims are on.

Main Card starts by 9 PM.

First Major UFC event this year.

McGregor vs Poirier I'm particularly intrigued by the fact that a lot of people have Poirier as such a huge underdog. I struggle to believe Conor who has fought just twice in the Octagon in almost 4 years is such a huge favorite

Kamaru vs Burns finally happening February, Adesanya vs Blachowicz in March

And for me the biggest match Stipe vs Ngannou 2

The Conor McGregor hype train derailed again. If this guy is not the most over hyped and overrated fighter in combat history I don't know who is

I swear!

The guy has that media charisma and trash talking. He's not as good as before.

He is not overrated he is actually a good fighter but right i don't think he cares anymore

He is overrated. For a fighter with such huge and visible flaws in his game he's been rated rather highly. You can be a good fighter and still be overrated.

This is a guy who has been double champ quite alright but never defended either belt, he's now been finished in 3 of his last 6 fights, the ones he won was a decision and another against a notorious (no pun intended) can and gatekeeper in Cowboy Cerrone

He should just stick to his freak show fights moving forward, get good money to get beaten to a pulp by Pacman. His days of being among the elite are done

I don't even blame him. Money will do that to you man. But I've always considered him a tad overrated. He has KO power but no cardio and no grappling defense or toughness.

I think he's done now in the ufc conor and Ferguson are on the way down I think conor will only do super fight from here on there's Diaz and Dustin trilogy waiting for him and it will be a big pay day

Link pls

who has the link. the fight is soon

trash talking is part of the game. it is called mind fucking. if you are not a combat sports person just stfu. first u win the fight in the head before winning it in the ring. u think he will go this fa without trash talk? he has to piss u off so u come at him aggressively. isreal is not ovverated. the guy is good. i am not saying this because he is nigerian. i am saying this as a neutral martial artst
