Buffalo Barbarian Posted July 8, 2016 Author Share Posted July 8, 2016 Wow! What a replacement! http://www.mmafighting.com/2016/7/8/12126556/daniel-cormier-issues-statement-on-anderson-silva-being-his-new ug that sux, Silva is washed up Silva never faced the best in the world when he was in his prime and occasionally fought at LHW. So now that he's way past his prime he's going to take on the champ who also is a world class wrestler and big enough to fight at HW? This with two days notice when he hasn't been training? Ugh, not the replacement fight I wanted to see. I've always been a fan of the Spider but I don't want to pay to see him get his ass handed to him in an epic ground and pound beatdown. The only fights on the main card I'm interested in seeing are the Frankie/Aldo and Cain/Browne fights and I'm not sure those are worth my money. It was an easy buy with Jones/Cormier but now I don't know... I think the whole is pretty good. Would have awesome to get old Fedor to fight Cormier. But that would never happen as the Last Emperor has always had something against the UFC ( sure wish him and Randy fought in their prime) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He lost to a middleweight, Dan Henderson, like 5 years ago. Edited July 8, 2016 by LBSeeBallLBGetBall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just think it would be a better fight and it would be pretty big news. I think Silva is meh right now. They should have brought some heavyweight in as a catch fight. actually a hendo fight would have been fun although he may not want to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's hard to be when you don't fight the top talent. I like this fight more because I think both would get wrecked, but I like watching Silva get beat down.

Buffalo Barbarian Posted July 9, 2016 Author Share Posted July 9, 2016 Great fight between Joana Vs Claudia as the champ did a great job of dominating the fight with strikes in the latter rounds. Glad to see Joana be respectful after the fight because she was so obnoxious during the Ultimate Fighter that even though I'm part Polish I had a hard time rooting for her (Actually wasn't rooting for her but her humility at the end won me back).

It didn't look like Claudia was prepared to go 5 rounds. I thought she won the first two rounds then had nothing left in the tank. And I'm not sure how you can sit through the ultimate fighter still. I watched the first 6-7 seasons or so before it just got bland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just watch it for the fights, usually I'm on the computer ignoring must of it or just fast forward thru to the end unless something interesting is going on. Yeah Claudia gassed, she came out too aggressive and spent herself. Not into it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffalo Barbarian Posted July 10, 2016 Author Share Posted July 10, 2016 (edited) Sage Northcut struggled tonight but was stilled solid, I think his aura has faded. Johnny Hendrix is a shell of himself, hard to believe he should have been awarded the belt from GSP to winning it and going toe to toe with Lawler to getting beat by Thompson and now Gastelum. Too bad for Edgar, I really like him. He is so undersized for 145 that I think he would kill it down at 135.

Buffalo Barbarian Posted July 10, 2016 Author Share Posted July 10, 2016 These guys really need to learn how to wrestle on the ground; DC is on top with no wrist control and Silva is just hugging him. DC need to grab the wrist, cross arm over and then strike with the free hand with no resistance. Shut up crowed you uneducated mooks, fighting isn't just brawling, wrestling is the foundation of fighting get used to it. Silva actually did pretty good for two days notice and looking soft. Crowd is so dumb booing DC, bunch of idiots in Las Vegas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffalo Barbarian Posted July 10, 2016 Author Share Posted July 10, 2016 Wow! Miesha got crushed, can't believe she tapped so easily. Must have been really busted up from those strikes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John from Riverside Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 Wow! Miesha got crushed, can't believe she tapped so easily. Must have been really busted up from those strikes. Is it just me or did Miesha look like she totally did not want to be in there? Maybe had too much problem with the weight drop? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo Barbarian Posted July 10, 2016 Author Share Posted July 10, 2016 Is it just me or did Miesha look like she totally did not want to be in there? Maybe had too much problem with the weight drop? With talking of retirement last yr, maybe winning the belt made he satisfied and complacent. She seemed ok to me but once she got tagged she looked like she wanted out quick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alaska Darin Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 Most of these women have never been punched hard in their entire lives because the average woman doesn't have one strike power. Holly Holm did exactly the same thing to Rousey. When they get damaged, they don't have the experience to clinch effectively or create distance. Nunes has enough game to remain champion if she stays hungry. Cormier is just a fat guy. He should have destroyed Silva once he got on top but he had no idea what the hell to do to create offense. He's very lucky Jon Jones got popped because he'd have gotten destroyed. Lesnar is all strength. Once he gets on top of you, you're not going anywhere but he had multiple opportunities to just wreck Hunt. His inexperience/game just didn't allow him to capitalize. If he fights anyone with any kind of reach/speed, he's going to get put to sleep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
