UFC 189

[Bay10]

I'm looking forward to this one. Can't wait for Lawler vs MacDonald II.

 

[kapolani]

I can't wait for Mendez to take out McGregor.

I can't stand that tool. I understand you have to market the fight, but there's also a degree of class and respect you have to have for whatever sport you're in. Don't like how he carries himself.

Seem McGregor had a rough cut. Prob will recover, but wasn't looking too good.

LOL how fast was that stoppage with what 5 seconds on the clock? Herb was ready to call it before he hit the ground so the UFC's hype train wouldn't get derailed. Every other fight Herb has the fighter turtle if the shots were hitting the gloves which they were.

Odd how Mendes is known for his endless gas tank and worked Conor the entire time only to "gas" as soon as it hit the feet.... fighting on 2 weeks notice will do that to you.

Full camp to stay in fight shape would of had Mendes continue to dominate the fight that exact way for 5 full rounds.


There was literally nothing to take away from this fight except it was a circus. Shady as hell to me. A fighter known for his high fight IQ goes for a guillotine from full guard randomly to letting Conor tee off on his face without defending?

Hope Dana paid you well to dive there Chad.

 

[Szczepanik]

Oh and also, it pushed Conor to the brink to be able to barely beat a gassed out Mendes who took the fight on a 2 week notice lol.

Now I know why Dana let Mendes take the shot instead of Frankie. Difference being : he had to protect Conor by letting him not fight the guy who was in fight shape.

That little midget had zero chance fighting standing up and that was evident from the first second of the fight...

Great card. Chad has had issues gassing before and he also took this fight on two weeks notice so him gassing is not surprising. Connor can't do a damn thing off his back. At times seemed like he was looking to Herb to get Chad off him. Frankie will give Connor all sorts off problems due to his wrestling and stand up game. Awesome card. Those live music walkouts were awful though.

He actually asked Herb to stand them up multiple times.

I thought I saw that. I told my buddy that they said I was full of it.

That Robbie vs Rory fight was one for the ages.

Don't get me wrong, Conor has good striking and makes people want to watch him. There are just a few things that rub me the wrong way about how certain fighters get special treatments, etc.

Robbie is my favorite current UFC fighter and that was an amazing fight. Robbie is a crazy guy. The end of the 4th where he spewed blood from his nose and looked ready to go.. was great. I do feel bad for Rory though, he has amazing heart but his nose just gave out on him. Poor kid looked like he came right out of a horror movie.

Is that Chad Mendes? He looks like he needs to learn braile.

 

[StarBoyz83]

That was a good card

That's mcdonald

That's mcdonald

Oh. Thanks.

Every fight was great. Bermudez and Stephens put on a killer show as well.

Disappointed in Brandon Thatch though... he is a local kid for me and has all the talent in the world.
