KermitMcDermott Posted February 28, 2017 Posted February 28, 2017 (edited) Love all the Countdown shows. Thompson is such a great striker. I could be entertained just watching him kick a heavy bag. Edited March 1, 2017 by KermitMcDermott
LB3 Posted March 2, 2017 Posted March 2, 2017 GSP vs Bisping is going down. No date set. Can't wait to see how GSP looks coming off the long layoff.
KermitMcDermott Posted March 2, 2017 Posted March 2, 2017 Hopefully back to the days when he'd punish fighters for thinking they deserved to even step in the cage with him.
Buffalo Barbarian Posted March 2, 2017 Author Posted March 2, 2017 GSP vs Bisping is going down. No date set. Bisping is the perfect opponent, as he is not the greatest and gives George the best chance of winning a title. I felt that Johnny Hendricks won that fight and should have won the belt. I hope George has gotten a lot better and stronger or he is going to have a rough go at 185.
KermitMcDermott Posted March 4, 2017 Posted March 4, 2017 LAS VEGAS -- An interim lightweight championship fight between Khabib Nurmagomedov and Tony Ferguson has been called off after Nurmagomedov was hospitalized Thursday evening.Nurmagomedov, 28, was taken to the hospital for medical complications suffered during his weight cut. The 155-pound title fight was supposed to co-headline UFC 209 on Saturday at T-Mobile Arena. "UFC lightweight Khabib Nurmagomedov was transported to Sunrise Hospital & Medical Center Thursday evening due to weight management medical issues," a UFC statement read. "He was treated and has been discharged." The statement went on to say the bout was canceled based on a doctor's recommendation. "It's obviously a huge blow," UFC president Dana White said. The UFC hasn't decided whether to reschedule the bout later in the year, White added. Was really looking forward to that fight.
section122 Posted March 4, 2017 Posted March 4, 2017 Was really looking forward to that fight. I hate weight cutting. not only is it dangerous it allows bigger fighters to go down classes. I would love to see semi weekly with ins with each fighter needing to stay in a range neat their fighting weight.
Yo no se Posted March 4, 2017 Posted March 4, 2017 I hate weight cutting. not only is it dangerous it allows bigger fighters to go down classes. I would love to see semi weekly with ins with each fighter needing to stay in a range neat their fighting weight. That's one of Joe Rogans ideas. He hates how these guys cut so much weight. Sucks about the fight.
Buffalo Barbarian Posted March 4, 2017 Author Posted March 4, 2017 Was really looking forward to that fight. I'm paying good money for these fights, get you act together Khabib. I hate weight cutting. not only is it dangerous it allows bigger fighters to go down classes. I would love to see semi weekly with ins with each fighter needing to stay in a range neat their fighting weight. Wrestlers have been doing it forever, guy obviously was not paying attention to what he needed to do make weight.
Buffalo Barbarian Posted March 5, 2017 Author Posted March 5, 2017 well that was clunker. If Thompson didn't get dropped in the last 30 seconds he probably would have won. Prelim fights were pretty good with big upsets and crazy comebacks.
KermitMcDermott Posted March 5, 2017 Posted March 5, 2017 Disappointing main event for sure. Fights can't always be fireworks, though. I don't think Thompson would have won even if he avoided being knocked down at the end.
Buffalo Barbarian Posted March 5, 2017 Author Posted March 5, 2017 Disappointing main event for sure. Fights can't always be fireworks, though. I don't think Thompson would have won even if he avoided being knocked down at the end. that cost him a point, so give him the point and take it away from Woodley and Thompson wins. Although he didn't do anything to deserve it, he was WAAAY to defensive. if he wants to win that title he needs to get stronger and focus on his wrestling otherwise this outcome will always be the same.
Buffalo Barbarian Posted March 6, 2017 Author Posted March 6, 2017 "Count UFC President Dana White among those who didn’t necessarily agree with the final outcome at UFC 209. Like many, he was also disappointed with the fight itself, especially after their first bout at UFC 205 yielded so many positive reviews.“When I was out doing radio for this fight I said, ‘You’ve all seen this first fight; how can the second fight not be good?’ I guess it doesn’t matter what the first fight is like,” White said. “I had it 3-2 the other way. I thought that ‘Wonderboy’ won 3-2. One of the judges scored the last round 10-8, so that obviously throws [it off].” Read more at http://www.sherdog.com/news/news/Dana-White-Scored-UFC-209-Headliner-in-Favor-of-Stephen-Thompson-118209#AbubvaEY3G3GmqMw.99
Buffalo Barbarian Posted March 13, 2017 Author Posted March 13, 2017 Hell of a win for Gastelum. Still haven't seen it yet, Vitor is past his prime.
KermitMcDermott Posted March 13, 2017 Posted March 13, 2017 Still haven't seen it yet, Vitor is past his prime. He said he's done after his next fight.
Buffalo Barbarian Posted March 14, 2017 Author Posted March 14, 2017 He said he's done after his next fight. he should hang em up, its been 20 yrs. Nice win for Gastelum Was really hoping Gian Villante would knock out Shogun and came close but should have clinched more when he got hurt. that knee by Barbosa was awesome
Buffalo Barbarian Posted March 14, 2017 Author Posted March 14, 2017 "Floyd Mayweather and Conor McGregor might be one step closer towards making their super-fight a reality. While an agreement still isn’t in place, a date has reportedly been chosen for the boxing match. According to FloCombat.com, T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas has SET aside June 10 as the date for a possible fight. Mayweather has become increasingly vocal about wanting to make the fight happen, calling out McGregor multiple times in the UK last week." https://www.yahoo.com/news/date-reserved-mayweather-mcgregor-fight-201041742.html Hope this happens because Connor needs to get back in the cage and defend his belt.

Buffalo Barbarian Posted March 14, 2017 Author Posted March 14, 2017 Don't be surprised if he takes the Mayweather fight and then never sets foot in the Octagon again. I think he likes the spotlight too much, he'll be back.
