Cejudo always comes across really good when he's not on WWE mode.
The MMA thread
- Thread starter Fortitude
- Start date
Looking forward to the card this weekend. Hill vs Torres, luque vs chiesa and Aldo vs Munoz are potential fight of the night. Both guys in the main event seem likable as well.
Gane looks far too relaxed to lose

Yeah I think so too. His act is next level cringe though. It’s unbearable.
Please educate me - Does knockout power comes from the bones in the hand or from the muscle fibres ?
I've always wondered why a guy like Jon Jones, who has a huge body frame, can't knock people out.
But guys of similar size to him, like Lewis, Ngannou and Wilder, have that power that Jones is missing.

Jones has never prioritized KO power in his arsenal, mainly because he has so many weapons to choose from that he never really needed it.
In boxing, much of the power comes from punching through the opponent (as opposed to having your punches bounce off, which yields less power), as shown by Canelo here. He inflicts incredible pain on his opponents (most recently Billy Joe Saunders) with this technique.
It comes from technique, balance, speed and the mass behind the hit. It's a combination of all these things.
Really like Gane, and hoping for him to win, but can't ignore that 1 punch power of Lewis to make him go night night.
The total opposite to someone like Angela Hill, who gets overexcited and squanders every big fight she has. Expecting the Tiny Tornado to beat her again tonight.
Yeah, it's Gane's fight to lose. I think it's gonna play out just like the Jairzinho fight. As long as he doesn't go crazy chasing the KO, almost zero chance he loses.
Interesting to see that the betting market is favouring a Gane KO before a Lewis KO. I can see it for sure. If JDS can stop the black beast, so does Gane.
he certainly has the game to win. I predict Lewis goes all out to finish him early so it might be good for Gane to try to get top position and survives the boos early then go to work maintaining distance and getting his strikes in when Derrick loses a bit of gas.
Haven't liked Lewis since that Blaydes knockout. I don't care what the rules are, those two follow-up shots were scummy.
Hopefully Gane makes shit of him.

What a perfect kick. Too bad that if you KO your opponent, you lose.
What a stupid set of rules.

He does that after every victory.
Wow that's incredible!
I'll assume that maybe the much bigger gloves in boxing also help increase the power. Then when you throw it with perfect technique like that...
Canelo appears to be the perfect combination of KO power and technical skill. Somewhat of a boxing Khabib, if you will. He lost to Floyd but other than that, really perfect.
Thanks. Will be awesome to watch tonight's fights looking for that. Aldo X Munhoz should have alot of exchanges in the pocket although I can see Aldo playing a kickboxing game from range.
The hostilities starting in 15 minutes.
Let me know when Karolina fights please thank you 
Am I missing something here?
The other guy went low and was aiming at god knows what, and the counter kick was good.

Yeah I think the glove size difference between MMA and boxing makes it easier to use the sort of shots Canelo uses. You don't see it as often in the UFC, but when its used, it can be incredibly effective such as what Stipe did to DC. He was losing the fight until he started resorting to boxing style body shots which literally turned the fight around and allowed him to win.
No Rogan tonight
Aldo throws some vicious body shots. Hopefully he can land a few tonight.
Ah darn, just reading only now that Nunes testes positive for Covid and the fight is pulled. Hope she recovers well, was really looking forward to seeing her fight.
Johns with a picture perfect knock out.

Amazing that no one is hurt! tonight so farNo Rogan tonight
Glad I stayed up for that one.
WOW
terrible stoppage
Another finish. Ref should have let him eat a few more to put it out of doubt, felt a bit premature.
Also amazing that "all those muscles require a lot of oxygen" magically isn't an issue tonight.
0-5 in her last 5 for Karolina. We won't hear from her ever again I think.
Some friction between DC and Cruz making commentary awkward...
Nasty Armbar!
Loving all these finishes.
This means the mains are going to the judges isn't it

I noticed Cruz was mocking DC for the weight cut issues during the Kape fight. DC didn't even replied. It might be seriousSome friction between DC and Cruz making commentary awkward...
