I know but that doesn't change anything I've said. They only put him back at number 3 after the Chimaev fight was booked. He's the number 3 guy, fighting an unranked opponent because the ranked guys won't man up and fight him. Quote Link to post

Oh yeah, definitely a big W for Khamzat to book that fight. He wins and he shoots up the rankings. No one wants to fight Khamzat as well because he's looking like a monster. At least it should make for an interesting fight. Darc_Requiem 1 Quote Link to post
Darc_Requiem Posted January 24 Author Share Posted January 24 (edited) Watching Dustin smoke Conor was so damned satisfying. Knocked him out cold fam. Edit: UFC blocked the Twitter video of the knock out but..... Edited January 24 by Darc_Requiem Quote Link to post

Lantis Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 Yeah it's not like there's a 10 count or anything.... The ref is ALWAYS the one to stop the match. Quote Link to post
Darc_Requiem Posted January 25 Author Share Posted January 25 So can we finally say that McGregor is overrated without getting side eyed now? People were bending over backward claiming Nate Diaz was elite rather disparage McGregor. Dude is 1-2 at 155. 3-3 in his last six fights. And his only noteworthy win was Eddie Alvarez.

He's not overrated imo. He has his nut huggers but he was Def the king for a very long time. Yeah but who was nates competition when he lost. It's easy to say this dude has a losing record but you gotta look at who they fought. Quote Link to post

People were bending over backward claiming Nate Diaz was elite rather disparage McGregor. Dude is 1-2 at 155. 3-3 in his last six fights. And his only noteworthy win was Eddie Alvarez. McGregor's real strength was his promotional ability. Same deal with Rousey. In MMA smaller fighters and women didn't really sell until these two put those divisions on the map. Even now you often see people disparage the smaller fighters, despite the fact that obviously these smaller fighters would rip their heads off. I don't know what UFC will do without them, their only other mainstream star remaining today is probably Jon Jones and he's crazy. Quote Link to post
Maxx Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 Conors mouth got him to the dance. But we can't suddenly forget what he did to two divisions top talent. He was for a long time a gawd damn assassin. The onyl two people who had a rise imo that insane have been Conor and Jones. They threw Jones to the wolves from jump. Quote Link to post

Dude has been living off his featherweight glory for years. Most people took Conor in this match. Look at who Dustin has fought since their first fight. Nothing but killers and he only got bopped by Khabib who bops everyone. King's don"t vacate titles after never defending them in the first place. GSP is an all time great, welterweight king but he wasn't the middleweight king. He never defended his middleweight belt. Conor was an elite featherweight. He shouldn't even be ranked at 155.

Darc_Requiem Posted March 28 Author Share Posted March 28 Ngannou just slept Stipe. Who honestly has chance against this dude? Once he stuffed Stipe's take down, I knew he was cooked. Quote Link to post
axeman61 Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 I'm not into MMA that much, but goddamn it looks scary when Ngannou sleeps someone. Like they got hit with a sledgehammer. Quote Link to post
Emptyeyes Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 A very brutal sport to watch, so I have mixed views on people hurting each other and rearranging their faces and ears like that. On the other hand, I've thought about taking classes for MMA for impersonal reasons of self defense. Unfortunately, I have one bad shoulder, so I don't know how far I could go with this. It still have my interest nonetheless after this pandemic is over. Quote Link to post

My 86 Cavalier had 85 hp. Quote Link to post
