tobianthony: Rockhold V Weidman 2 is a difficult one to predict, but I expect Luke to win. Weidman's main weapon is his wrestling and Luke is from an excellent wrestling camp and his BJJ is top notch. Jacare is at the twilight of his career and he is fighting a fellow BJJ black belt. TOUGH one for him. UFC signed 2 Nigerians from the DWTNCS, Yusuff Sadiq and Kennedy Nzechukwu. Yusuff is a well rounded featherweight. He was impressive on the show. Kennedy is a huge light heavyweight, he is 6'5" tall with an 83" reach. The only problem is that he is not very aggressive. I think the other Nigerians in the UFC are Kamaru Usman Isreal ADESANAYA Oluwole Gbamgbose (he got cut last year though) Hakeem Dawodu (identifies as a Canadian though, born and bred in Canada) |

tobianthony: Scott Coker is making a mess of Bellator. He still does not get it! Bellator can only grow by pushing "Bellator-grown" fighters like Aaron Pico, Michael Chandler and Michael Venom Page. Bellator are wasting huge resources on pensioners and UFC nearly men and washed up ex champs like Sonnen, Bader, Benson Henderson and co. Did you see Sonnen V Fedor? It was a disgrace, Sonnen threw the fight away and walked away with 300K dollars in less than 5 mins. |

No way did sonnen throw that fight bruh ... I think the Bellator guys are doing the best they can with their business model which is the tournament fights . They simply do not have the capital or leverage to challenge the UFC . They will make do with what they have . Don't think Dana white and Lorenzo aren't paying attention to Bellator. |

olabode89: Nah gbamgbose aka bangbus is still in the UFC I believe he even fought on the khabib vs McGregor prelims . Usman is in a pickle ...he has no one to fight at the moment . I just want to see him go against Colby Covington Sha ...that would be something . Yeah there are a lot of Nigerians in MMA . |
Re: Mixed Martial Arts Fan Thread: UFC, Bellator Etc by olabode89(m): 6:35pm On Oct 19, 2018 |
tobianthony: Bamgbose was cut from the UFC in December 2017 after 3 consecutive losses.

olabode89:Knew that fight would be a massive anticlimax. I was surprised Sonnen was able to beat Rampage in his previous fight but since they are both washed up then anything can happen. I think it must be the nostalgia of these oldies that Scott insists on using as a selling point. There are people who would still want to see Fedor fight even at 70 |

tobianthony: I have lost track on MMA did not even watch the Conor Khabib fight, only the highlights. So what's new about Khabib was he fined? and how much? Which fighter do you think can take out Khabib? Am a proponent of strikers, these grapplers irritates me. 1 Like |

That boy looking like the real deal. Though I feel he might struggle against a grappler but he has this Jon Jones vibe. I would like to see him face Romero, Gastellum or Whittaker for the belt since they both rep NZ 1 Like |

I was going to start this thread but you guys beat me to it. Finally, a real combat sport thread not that trashy and scripted WWE. It's a great thing to have UFC now airing on DSTV even the PPVs. This will create more hype in Africa as we have 3 dominant african UFC fighters. I love Israel's swag in and outside the octagon, its just a matter of time he will be the next anthony joshua and millions of Nigerian will get to know of him more. With time this fan page will grow. 3 Likes 1 Share

A40: I am still wondering how romero fits into the middle wieght class of about 185. The guy is huge body wise compared to the like of Israel Adesanya. |
Re: Mixed Martial Arts Fan Thread: UFC, Bellator Etc by A40(m): 5:08pm On Feb 10, 2019 |
kkkossy:Lool he's right on the edge 184-185. Adesanya is like 6-3 so that might explain it because he is also listed at 184 |
Re: Mixed Martial Arts Fan Thread: UFC, Bellator Etc by Nobody: 8:50pm On Feb 10, 2019 |
A40: He will go very far, and he's not just an excellent fighter but also an entertainer, which is exactly what the UFC Franchise needs. |
