MMA General Discussion 2020

[Mickey Massuco]

James Krause has been suspended as a coach for allegedly betting on a fight with one of his fighters, Moreno needs a new corner for a title fight a month away, and betting on the ufc is illegal where I live now. This should be much bigger news but hopefully we get betting back in my province at least

Nice seeing Wonderboy turn in a great performance. Holland has a serious chin, and it was a hell of a fight.

Sergei Pavlovich is also terrifying.

Sergei Pavlovich is also terrifying.

It like what Ariel Helwani tweeted last night, it's good that they matched Wonderboy up against a person who would not just wrestle him. Might as well make him the fight night main event guy from now on. And I was this close to going asleep before the fight.

You're also 100% right on Pavlovich. I know a Gane fight was cancelled once before, but that would be a good HW eliminator fight, especially with the "who the hell knows" logjam with Ngannou-Jones-Stipe w/Curtis Blaydes on hold.

 

[Gert]

Great performance by Ilia Topuria. He should probably headline a Fight Night next. Put him up against the Korean Zombie.

 

[Mickey Massuco]

Topuria would kill him, I think that would be a step back. I think he needs a number one contender fight with someone at the Ortega level. I think Volk would still beat him but he's proven he's elite and is still getting better so who knows what he looks like when that happens. Beating a guy like Bryce the way he did though, you can't send him backwards at this point.

 

[Mickey Massuco]

this might be a 10-7, even with the flurry from till at the end here. a lot of those didn't land cleanly.

 

[Gert]

Yeah Till took the Homer Simpson strategy there.

 

[Mickey Massuco]

he looks like a horror movie villain right now.

 

[Mickey Massuco]

that step in elbow from Till was fuckin sick. man if he pulls off the comeback, both guysl ook tired but Till looks fresher somehow lmao

 

[Mickey Massuco]

those live odds are insane given the first round but they actually make sense if you think Till can finish him. There's no way Dricus didn't get at least a 10-8 in the first. I'd bet on a draw I wonder what the live odds are on that.

 

[Gert]

Yeah there’s no way R1 couldn’t have been a 10-8

 

[Mickey Massuco]

I can't believe all these people on twitter and anik himself think it should be a 10-9. if that's not a 10-8 then i don't know what is.

 

[Mickey Massuco]

damn he tapped quick, looked more like a crank than anything else.

 

[Mickey Massuco]

don't care about this upcoming fight at all, last time i saw morono he got decision'd by a washed pettis.

but the last two should be amazing.

 

[Mickey Massuco]

Ponzi seems like one of the worst offenders for hitting a guy when he's out cold.

 

[Mickey Massuco]

I think I woulda bet on Morono knowing those odds, ages, and his record as a dog.

lmao just as i type that they show ponzi has just as good a record as a fav but i'd still bet on Morono.

 

[Gert]

Paddy’s eating a ton of left hands in this first round.

 

[Gert]

I think this should be Gordon 29-28.

 

[Mickey Massuco]

i didnt pay much attention to the third

the 500 to win 30k parlay needed gordon to win but only needed ankalaev after that, i'd be pissed about that decision lmao

 

[Gert]

Yeah that’s pretty rough beat, especially with the way the fight played out.

I was toying around with a DenverNuggets ML-Topuria-Ankalaev parlay but forgot the start time of the NBA game….

[Mickey Massuco]

10-2 as an underdog at the level he's fought at is fucking legendary.

 

[Mickey Massuco]

these jan shin kicks are crazy lmao
makin me wince

 

[Gert]

Pretty close fight here thru two rounds.

 

[Gert]

The translator is not matching the intensity of Ankalaev’s corner!

 

[Mickey Massuco]

the second is definitely for Jan, the first was close but I'd lean Magomed.

But Jan definitely has the momentum, and if he really does force him to switch his stances while fighting on a battered leg, Jan looks REALLY good moving forward.

 

[Mickey Massuco]

jan doing that thing with his hands after kicking at both of ankalaev's legs was a GOAT moment

 

[Mickey Massuco]

big round for Ankalaev but i hate those fourth rounds in these championship fights where a guy steals it by just grinding through half guard.

 

[Mickey Massuco]

Paddy Pimblett def. Jared Gordon :: UFC 282 :: MMA Decisions

That guy was robbed of 30k for real.

 

[Gert]

You gotta be fucking kidding me.
