UFC 228

[Mickey Massuco]

Dana White spent all his time trashing a guy who just put on a performance like THAT, when he should have been promoting him. Unreal.

 

[KOAB]

When did Woodley all of a sudden not become this giant pussy? He fights to not lose, not to win.

heh

 

[Mickey Massuco]

The only fights Woodley fights cautious in are against the uber-specialists. Maia, Shields, Wonderboy, etc. Considering those guys' records in MMA history and the amount of times they've played spoiler, can't really blame him.

 

[Mickey Massuco]

GSP vs. Woodley is the GOAT fight to make for true MMA fans.

 

[Mickey Massuco]

also this was one of the biggest beatdowns in mma history, considering all the circumstances.

Yeah, Till landed two punches.

There are levels to this shit. Covington is gonna get treated the exact same way. I'm a Woodley fan because I find that not enough people appreciate the defensive martial arts, but I thought that was very satisfying. Tyrone knew instantly that Till didn't belong in there, bum rushed him, and treated him for the rest of the fight like Till knew he didn't belong in there.

The Wonderboy fights were boring because Wonderboy is fucking boring.

I think next to Ronda getting headkicked that the Karolina knockout was the scariest one in womens mma history. Somebody check on HSJ. Rose has good standup but I don't know if she's got the chin to take those shots. Speaking of 115 assuming Joanna isn't moving up to flyweight to fight Valentina for the vacant belt she should fight Suarez next and I think Tatiana wins that fight.

Fight of the night was Aldana/Pudilova from the prelims which is well deserved because in a night of mainly finishes it was legit the best fight on the card. Woodley and Andrade got POTN bonuses which....I dunno. I'm not sure how you can fuck over Geoff Neal for that head kick or TWO fucking Suloev Stretches.

 

[Lord of The Curry]

Per the ex-champ herself Nico Montano showed up to Dallas weighing 145 pounds which explains her story about her kidneys shutting down on her because cutting 20 pounds in a few days is fucking moronic.

 

[HSJ]

she didn't want non.

 

[Lord of The Curry]

I'm sure you're joking but the actual opinion of mma fans out there that she ducked out at the last minute because she was scared is hilarious and sad at the same time. She got stripped of her title and her Reebok pay bump takes a HUGE hit now, pretty sure I read she was guaranteed 40K for this fight and she'll now make something like 3K on her next one.

 

[909]

I don't believe that she was scared or anything, but showing up like that is extremely unprofessional. I'm also a big believer in stripping titles from champions who don't make weight.

 

[Lord of The Curry]

Yeah I agree with her being stripped. The UFC wants everybody showing up for fight week at a maximum of 8% over their limit and she was 15%, almost double. She also didn't have the luxury of any kind of tenure, this was her second fight in the company and first defense over a year after getting the belt.

 

[Lord of The Curry]

 

[KOAB]

Damn you sure are nervous about someone who has no chance of ever catching GSP going by this thread.

 

[Lord of The Curry]

Cause I posted about GSP once? Tell me more playboy.

 

[KOAB]

Lol this whole thread was hoping some trash somehow beat Woodley and then when the trash got taken to the dump... welp

 

[909]

We need a fights during USADA era part added to that table

 

[Lord of The Curry]

100% finish rate and 100% success rate in the USADA era. NEXT.

 

[AA484]

I'm not sure that's the direction 909 was going with his post.

 

[Lord of The Curry]

Facts don't care about our feelings.

 

[AA484]

One side of me sees GSP as the greatest MMA fighter of all time, the other sees him as an unproven steroid cheat.

 

[Lord of The Curry]

The side of you that sees him as an unproven cheat needs to focus on the unproven part.

 

[Lord of The Curry]

130,000 buys for the best card of the year. Goddamn.

 

[Mickey Massuco]

it's as if constantly shitting on a fighter makes people less inclined to watch them.
