KermitMcDermott Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 (edited) Love all the Countdown shows. Thompson is such a great striker.

Buffalo Barbarian Posted March 2, 2017 Author Share Posted March 2, 2017 GSP vs Bisping is going down. No date set. Bisping is the perfect opponent, as he is not the greatest and gives George the best chance of winning a title. I felt that Johnny Hendricks won that fight and should have won the belt. I hope George has gotten a lot better and stronger or he is going to have a rough go at 185. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KermitMcDermott Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 LAS VEGAS -- An interim lightweight championship fight between Khabib Nurmagomedov and Tony Ferguson has been called off after Nurmagomedov was hospitalized Thursday evening.Nurmagomedov, 28, was taken to the hospital for medical complications suffered during his weight cut. The 155-pound title fight was supposed to co-headline UFC 209 on Saturday at T-Mobile Arena. "UFC lightweight Khabib Nurmagomedov was transported to Sunrise Hospital & Medical Center Thursday evening due to weight management medical issues," a UFC statement read. "He was treated and has been discharged." The statement went on to say the bout was canceled based on a doctor's recommendation. "It's obviously a huge blow," UFC president Dana White said. The UFC hasn't decided whether to reschedule the bout later in the year, White added. Was really looking forward to that fight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
section122 Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 Was really looking forward to that fight. I hate weight cutting. not only is it dangerous it allows bigger fighters to go down classes. I would love to see semi weekly with ins with each fighter needing to stay in a range neat their fighting weight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffalo Barbarian Posted March 5, 2017 Author Share Posted March 5, 2017 well that was clunker. If Thompson didn't get dropped in the last 30 seconds he probably would have won. Prelim fights were pretty good with big upsets and crazy comebacks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KermitMcDermott Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 Disappointing main event for sure. Fights can't always be fireworks, though. I don't think Thompson would have won even if he avoided being knocked down at the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think Thompson would have won even if he avoided being knocked down at the end. that cost him a point, so give him the point and take it away from Woodley and Thompson wins. Although he didn't do anything to deserve it, he was WAAAY to defensive. if he wants to win that title he needs to get stronger and focus on his wrestling otherwise this outcome will always be the same.

Buffalo Barbarian Posted March 6, 2017 Author Share Posted March 6, 2017 "Count UFC President Dana White among those who didn’t necessarily agree with the final outcome at UFC 209. Like many, he was also disappointed with the fight itself, especially after their first bout at UFC 205 yielded so many positive reviews.“When I was out doing radio for this fight I said, ‘You’ve all seen this first fight; how can the second fight not be good?’ I guess it doesn’t matter what the first fight is like,” White said. “I had it 3-2 the other way. I thought that ‘Wonderboy’ won 3-2. One of the judges scored the last round 10-8, so that obviously throws [it off].” Read more at http://www.sherdog.com/news/news/Dana-White-Scored-UFC-209-Headliner-in-Favor-of-Stephen-Thompson-118209#AbubvaEY3G3GmqMw.99 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffalo Barbarian Posted March 14, 2017 Author Share Posted March 14, 2017 "Floyd Mayweather and Conor McGregor might be one step closer towards making their super-fight a reality. While an agreement still isn’t in place, a date has reportedly been chosen for the boxing match. According to FloCombat.com, T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas has SET aside June 10 as the date for a possible fight. Mayweather has become increasingly vocal about wanting to make the fight happen, calling out McGregor multiple times in the UK last week." https://www.yahoo.com/news/date-reserved-mayweather-mcgregor-fight-201041742.html Hope this happens because Connor needs to get back in the cage and defend his belt.

KermitMcDermott Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 (edited) Was really hoping Gian Villante would knock out Shogun and came close but should have clinched more when he got hurt. He had a shot for sure but Shogun clearly was in control. That's the best I've seen him look in awhile. And I don't know why Mayweather setting a June date for a fight that hasn't been signed is newsworthy. Mayweather is just trying to talk it up more to up the ante. I'd rather see McGregor stay in MMA and make big fights happen in the UFC. A bxoing fight with Mayweather is going to be complete garbage.

Buffalo Barbarian Posted March 19, 2017 Author Share Posted March 19, 2017 "When a reporter asked when a fight with Mayweather is going to happen, McGregor responded by saying, “We’re getting close, don’t worry about it. You’ll hear about it. I’m out of here. I am boxing!” Earlier this month, Mayweather said he was “officially” out of retirement for Conor McGregor. The 40-year-old retired in 2015 after beating Andre Berto and improving to 49-0 as a professional, tying Rocky Marciano’s remarkable record." http://www.msn.com/en-ca/news/other/watch-ufc%e2%80%99s-conor-mcgregor-causes-scene-at-boxing-event-in-new-york/ar-BByllQ3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yo no se Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 (edited) Two retirements tonight. Shocked about Rumble. Can't believe he thought it was a good idea to wrestle DC. ESPECIALLY after breaking his nose. Striking should have been the only game plan. Sucks what happened to Weidman too. Gets hit with a borderline knee, ref tells him to take five minutes, and the doctor decides Weidman can't continue. He seemed alright to me. Crap decision.

Weidman fan, but he was getting his ass kicked and after those knees he looked liked he didn't know where he was. That bad call, imo, was good for him. I had floor seats. The guy has young children, crowd booed, but I believe it was the best decision. Overall awesome night. Met Tyrod, he was not in a good mood, guy was kind of a jerk, but he was probably getting mobbed all night. Richie is awesome, super friendly. Had a brief talk with Dareus, he said he feels great for this upcoming season and he feels horrible for missing so many games fwiw. Eric Wood was a cool guy to talk to as well. Thurman was there too but never got to speak with him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KermitMcDermott Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 ^^^ Very cool you got to meet some Bills. Big Rumble fan but I was wondering if he would retire after a loss. He's had a good career but most likely would never hold a title if he continued. Some classic knockouts for sure. Looking forward to see if DC can avenge his loss to Jones.
