The MMA thread

[SirAnderson]

I noticed Cruz was mocking DC for the weight cut issues during the Kape fight. DC didn't even replied. It might be serious .

Yeah definitely got under DCs skin.
Cruz comes off as a bit of a tit for me.
While I don't always like the overkill that comes with Rogan, not sure Cruz brings much.
His like the Jenas of mma for me.

Jermaine Jenas?

Can't say I've had the pleasure. No idea he was a football pundit.

 

[Raoul]

Great to see Prince Harry's debut

His got a fecking chin on him, I'll give him that.

 

[SirAnderson]

Leg gone. Those kicks are nasty!

 

[Reditus]

Fair play for hanging on in there I guess?

Next up I want to see Ed Herman face Sam Alvey, surely those guys are related

 

[George Owen]

banger alert: Green vs Fiziev has potential for some good shit.

 

[Reditus]

5 finishes in a row. Then I start to watch and it’s 3 decisions

Fiziev reminds me of Ragnar Lodbrok.

He does a bit

I’m currently obsessed with Vikings, started watching about 2 months ago and now only 6 episodes to go and all over for me, I will miss that show

He has some of his mannerisms. At the post fight interview I was laughing my ass out imagining he was Ragnar .

Yeah, Vikings is great. One of my favourites. From the very beginning with its low budget look and all.

 

[George Owen]

Nice walk-out song for Yadong.

I live about an hour away from where it is filmed, I checked out the area a couple of weeks ago and apart for a fair few extra CGI houses, Kattegat is just as you see it on the show.

Nice.

 

[Beans]

Gane looks incredible. Lewis can’t do anything.

 

[sizzling sausages]

Lewis has done nothing so far...

 

[sizzling sausages]

And it's over! Gane was very impressive, it has to be said!

 

[SirAnderson]

Get in!! Perfection from Gane!!!!

 

[Beans]

Not sure I've seen a guy that big move so well before.

 

[Raoul]

Yes!!!

 

[George Owen]

NGannou vs Gane gonna be crazy.

 

[Raoul]

Not sure I've seen a guy that big move so well before.

He moves like a young Jon Jones, with a similar arsenal of strikes at his disposal. He can beat Francis imo

 

[SirAnderson]

How can they make me chose between Gane and Ngannou. Love them both.

If Gane does what he just did with Lewis to Ngannou, it will be interesting, but think Ngannou will definitely not just sit back like Lewis did.

 

[SirAnderson]

This is exactly who I think of looking at his movement.
Definitely think he will be an challenge for Ngannou yeah.

 

[sizzling sausages]

Yeah, the kicks and the movement were definitely Jonesesque.

Gane vs Ngannou and Miocic vs Jones would be a great set of fights to make next for that division

 

[Beans]

Looks like Lyoto Machida to me.

 

[Man of Leisure]

Is Francis injured? Why was there an interim title fight in the first place? And when do we think we'll see these two fight? Sometime in 2021?

 

[Raoul]

Agreed. Heavyweight is suddenly interesting again.

A Dana White special.
Ngannou's team called Dana out as to why an interim figtt so soon, they were ready. They could have had this fight without the need to add the belt really, it's so stupid imo.

Ngannou is definitely ready to go, so I can see it happening this year, but you never know with Dana.

I find Gane more interesting, mainly because he isn't a one trick pony.

 

[SirAnderson]

Maybe Dana being a cnut, because some time ago, Ngannou twitted that youtubers "are paid 20M dollar to Box and why we are not?" or something along those lines...

Can't think of anything else.

Same here. I can watch this fight from start to finish again, you can see the methodical work and constantly making Derrick think.
I just love Ngannou for the journey he has had to become champion and finally achieving that dream.

So is Gane. Lewis landed like 3 strikes .

October sounds good to me.

1 head, 1 body, 1 legs if I saw correctly.
Gane gave him no inch to do anything really.

 

[Raoul]

I would have to guess Gane may be favored when they fight. He can neutralize the power by staying out of range and start chipping away at the legs.
