David Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 Stephen Thompson vs Anthony Pettis at Welterweight? Holy shit. I'm beginning to wonder if Pettis is starting to grasp at straws now. He came in at lightweight, eventually lost three on the bounce and dropped to featherweight where he went 1-1, then he shifted back to lightweight and has went 2-2, and now he's not only moving up to welterweight but going in against a big fucking welterweight in Stephen Thompson. Can't see it ending well for him to be honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Egg Shen Posted January 6, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted January 6, 2019 Well Sergio just moved up and realised that being the smaller man in the cage can work against you. That said, Anthony Pettis/Wonderboy is a brilliant stylistic fight, I'd love to see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rey_Piste Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 Fuck's sake Pettis is going to have have his pockets full of rocks to near the max weight. Being well hydrated and the quicker man will only get you so far. 5 minutes ago, Egg Shen said: Well Sergio just moved up and realised that being the smaller man in the cage can work against you.

Rey_Piste Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 Ignore me, I am getting my nicknames mixed up. I just googled Stephen Thompson and it's some generic looking white guy. Not the fighter I was thinking of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members wandshogun09 Posted January 6, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted January 6, 2019 Haha I think Rey was thinking of Anthony Johnson. You know, as in Anthony ‘Rumble’ Thompson. Am I right ReyPissed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Egg Shen Posted January 6, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted January 6, 2019 according to Ariel Helwai, Woodley/Usman is a done deal to serve as the co-main on the same show as Jones/Smith (which isnt yet confirmed). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members wandshogun09 Posted January 6, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted January 6, 2019 Fuck, 235 is suddenly looking stacked to fuck. Jones vs Smith, Woodley vs Usman and Askren vs Lawler is a pretty sweet top 3. Then you’ve got Zabit vs Stephens and a couple of old vs new clashes with Diego Sanchez vs Mickey Gall and Holly Holm vs Aspen Ladd. The other day I was scratching my head what could headline 235, i love Askren-Lawler but it was never going to headline, now we’ve got a proper loaded card.

David Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 I don't think I could stomach watching Mickey Gall beat Diego Sanchez. I'd probably cry a little. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Am I right ReyPissed? Kind of, I was thinking of Rumble, but the nickname was Mr Wonderful which is Phil Davis. Which getting 2 black guys mixed up is going to look more like i'm Rey's Cyst. They even fought at UFC 172. Of course there is Anthony Thompson, but he's a boxer not a MMA fighter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OzExile Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 Why push Colby so hard if they're not going to give him the title shot? Madness. Man's the legit no.1 contender, nobody can argue with that. It looks like Woodley wanted Colby - probably the easier fight and definitely more money in the fight. But once again he's been shafted by the brass. I think they just like to piss him off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
