Lmaoooo Conor? This man's been fighting bears since age 9 (hyperbole I know) but nobody is touching Khabib in that division

* since 5 or 6 not 9
When he's fighting bear Conor is playing with teddy bear

abkrgumel:

Who is that someone?

Honestly, I really don't know at this point, just anybody.

How will they allow one man to dominate this much?

A bounty should be put on him, anyone who beats him in the octagon goes home with a huge reward.

Lol. The guy breaks your will to fight. Incredible

Same can be said with Jon Jones

Just needs a hungry enough opponent and Jon Jones will fall. All his fights he still gets touched. Again and again. Not Khabib.

Lol well I don't know who else is left that can beat Jon Jones at LH. It's why I'm curious as to why he is refusing to fight at Heavyweight. He beat the older guys and is beating the present generation too

Guys, it's time.
UFC 243. Whittaker vs Adesanya

I hope Stylebender doesn't lose sha. These streets no like Izzy at all and so many people want to see him take the L today. Let's hope he hasn't written a cheque with his mouth that he can't cash

Kamaru vs Colby Covington

All the fights we want to see. I was afraid these guys would fumble this bag with their bickering

Been up since... And these guys be playing with me...


Too many undercard matches...


Can I please watch Adesanya in peace.

Pls can anyone suggest a livestream link for the Adesanya bout.

Adesanya has done it !!!!!! He finished Whittaker in round 2

Congrats boys Adesanya has made us proud . God bless .

So happy for him. He definitely looks like the type of fighter Dana White wants, the one who talks the talk and walks the walk.

Really proud of Izzy. Niggas swore he would lose but I'm happy he backed up his talk. Who's idea was it to have Paulo Costa sit next to Izzy's parents

Haters really underestimate this boy's heart and fight skills. There's some Jon Jones in him (sans the picograms)

A40:


I'd love Izzy to take on Romero though. He at least has more bodies on his résumé. Only problem is these Cubans are notorious juicers. I fear him more than the others

Whittaker is a pure striker and so for me the most straightforward opponent for Izzy. It would basically come down to who's the quicker to draw and who has the sturdier chin. I also don't think Whittaker has fought a guy as unpredictable and can improv quite like Izzy.

Hmmmmm

why the hell is this thread dry.

Looking forward to usman vs colby

also we might be getting Izzy vs romero soon

These UFC judges are a crying disgrace. If you're even going to rob Dominick Reyes do it discreetly with a split decision or something.

To think a judge even scored the fight 4 rounds to 1 for Jones. Lol even Chandler Jones will not give 3 rounds to his brother never mind 4. Hopefully Dana does the right thing and we see a rematch.

And I hate doing MMA math but based on this fight alone it's best Jones stays at LH. I can't imagine him vs an Ngannou or a Curtis Blaydes. It will be ugly for him

The Lewis and Latifi fight was another example of just how awful and incompetent those judges were. He outstriked Lewis over double the amount of times and took him down thrice while Lewis couldn't do it even once

EmmGee:

Well Usman won
Izzy and Romero coming soon.

Can't wait for Usman to beat up that paper belt carrying Masvidal

Usman will definitely destroy him. We might get lucky and get 2 broken jaws in a row

Can't wait. I like how he's all mouthy because he beat a seriously washed Nate Diaz and over hyped Darren Till

Usman will wipe the floor with him for sure

what did you think about jones vs reyes

EmmGee:

what did you think about jones vs reyes

Reyes was robbed. Even Dana White thinks Reyes was robbed that's how egregious it was.

Thiago Santos got a split but Reyes did a better job than Santos. Reyes should have gotten a split or unanimous win. He won the first 3 rounds clearly

Reyes should get a rematch.

I'm very disappointed with the result. everyone sees it. the judges were horrible. there was a particular judge that wasn't even paying attention for a whole 30sec during one of the prelims.

I saw a video of dana demanding that the governor step in and fix the mess.

Reyes was just simply fantastic. I never thought anyone alive could make Jones look that weak and clueless. At a point Jones looked completely bereft of ideas and all we keep seeing is gbos gbas, front kicks, jabs, side kicks, upper cut from Reyes landing on Jon Jones. He was simply outboxed in the first three rounds.

This is obviously not what I expect from Jones. Jones that we used to know always make his opponents looked completely stupid by completely dominating the entire rounds. Reyes has made us aware that Jones is not unbeatable. This match should give our own Adesanya a clue of ways to beat Jones. The only impeccable thing about Jones is his ability to take his opponents down. Reyes did not give him the chance to take him down at the same time using his reach advantage and speed to produce more side, front kicks and jabs.

If you have a good takedown defensive skills like Reyes did and have the speed, reach, you can beat Jones. I am a die hard Jones fans but Reyes simply outperformed Jones. Even he couldn't achieve anything from his short-lived takedowns.

At the end of the day, Reyes didn't do enough to beat Jones. He had to do enough to defeat Jones. Jones is a pundits favourites, he is UFC favourites, he is defending champion, besides the 3 take downs of Reyes and his unimpressive performance in the last 2 rounds where he was running around the stage made Jones retained the belts. If you have to take the belts from favourite Jones, you need to at beat KO him or surrender him or at worst, dominate him as he had rightly done as well as avoid any take downs. Those cost Reyes the belts.

I wish there is a rematch. Reyes need to try KO Jones early when he is still fresh. His speed, reach, power and take downs defensive skills will win him the rematch. He can KO Jones within the first 3 rounds. A big left can take Jones down and speedily followed with fast jabs. That match shouldn't have gone to 5 rounds and he should have taken the fight to Jones from round one and not taking long kabs from the outside running around. Jones fell my hands. Reyes was Peoples champion at the end of the day because he clearly outperformed and outjab and outkicked Jones.

Connor vs Masvidal is a better draw imho. Better for the UFC, better for the fans, better for Usman. Let him enjoy his time in the sun.

Lol even Dana does not want a Conor vs Masvidal fight. I think people are probably underrating Conor a tad. The idea he has no shot against Masvidal is laughable.

However. This new found braggadocio of Masvidal and other casuals hyping him needs to be brought to a screeching halt. This is why I want Usman vs Masvidal so Kamaru will put that journeyman fighter in his place

You know there is ojoro involved when the President of the organization is disagreeing with the decision. Really the only round Jones dominated was the final round

Unless the judges are biased against strikers and prefer the ground and BJJ game of MMA but still Jones only took him down twice and Reyes recovered pretty quickly. It was a crying disgrace

I agree with everything you said here. Credit to Jones for his cardio and Championship experience. His cardio really kept him in this fight, and he also showed he could take a punch.

That being said I don't think he should even think of moving up to Heavyweight. If he had to face an Ngannou uppercut or wrestled with a Curtis Blaydes the outcome would be ugly

That is the very thing. Connor is enough to beat Masvidal. At the least, they deserve each other, all brash and flash.
No need calling in the champ. Have some respect.

bolded

I've seen alot of people just say jon won 4 and 5 w/o acknowledging that 4 was pretty close.
