David Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 Cormier has a Balboa in Rocky III before his first fight with Clubber vibe to him. He's not taking Lewis seriously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members ColinBollocks Posted October 20, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted October 20, 2018 His Instagram disagrees. His face is all messed up from hard training. I don't think DC is the type to fall into that trap. We've seen how he completely mauled 'No Time', a man DC very clearly made it known was not on his level.

David Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 Aye, but this is the final furlong, isn't it? This is a fight he claimed he wasn't fit enough to take when the name being touted was Miocic, but now the name is Lewis it's suddenly possible. He thinks he can beat this guy with an injured hand and not much of a camp. Personally, I hope he gets knocked out cold and Lewis gets the Brock fight and all the money that goes with it.

Paid Members wandshogun09 Posted October 20, 2018 Author Paid Members Share Posted October 20, 2018 If it ends up as Weidman vs Jacare I won't be a bit disappointed with the Rockhold pullout. That's a fight I've wanted to see since Weidman was champion. Really interesting matchup. But it is shit. Losing Rockhold still has a knock-on effect and just further weakens the rest of the card overall. Even if we get Weidman vs Jacare, what happens to David Branch now? I was also looking forward to Jacare vs Branch. This card was just never meant to be, was it? This always seems to happen when they piss about with a card as well. Like in the past they had that PPV that was supposed to be headlined by Dillashaw vs Barao 2 and they put a fucking awful undercard on it. It was almost a Fight Pass worthy card but they were charging PPV. There were a few injury pullouts and then Barao nearly died making weight and they nearly had to scrap the whole show because beyond that fight it was piss weak. They ended up 'saving' it by having to take Joe Soto off Fight Pass and sticking him in the main event against TJ and the whole card - PPV and prelims - ended up as just 8 fights. Ended up doing 125K buys on PPV. Think there's been a couple of other cases of cards like that as well. When they half-arsed it or put together a shite lineup and it ended up imploding. It's like it's karma. It always seems to be these weaker cards it happens with because they don't stack the undercard strong enough for the card to survive and withstand a big name pullout. This isn't exactly the same thing of course. This was always a pretty deep card. But this card being one of those 'doomed' ones does kind of serve them right, IMO, with how they fucked about with the main event situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a fight he claimed he wasn't fit enough to take when the name being touted was Miocic, but now the name is Lewis it's suddenly possible. He thinks he can beat this guy with an injured hand and not much of a camp. He weighed it up. There are other factors involved in this. One being the UFC gave him a silly offer and Lewis is coming off a hard victory over a dude that was beating him so bad his balls turned into a volcano. Again, DC was very dismissive of No Time (more so than Lewis), but he killed him. Christ, even when he twatted Stipe he couldn't train for weeks because his back was messed up. Again, if you check his IG out you'll see a bloke that is clearly not taking anything for granted. If he was going full Rocky in 3, he'd have done that WWE tryout.

Paid Members wandshogun09 Posted October 21, 2018 Author Paid Members Share Posted October 21, 2018 Weidman vs Jacare is confirmed as the new co-main. And David Branch is staying on the card against Jared Cannonier. Says MMAJunkie, MMAFighting and all the usual places. Glad Branch kept his spot on the card. Happy with Weidman vs Jacare as well. I actually prefer that to the Rockhold rematch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members ColinBollocks Posted October 29, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted October 29, 2018 Triple posting, mofo! Anyway, fight week. Lewis looks like he's working his arse off for this. He's looking quite trim. Still not buying that DC is taking Lewis lightly at all, which will no doubt get whipped out should he lose. DC is grinding hard in the gym. The more this is dragging on, the more I'm desperate to see Lewis win. I really love DC, but Lewis' wife deserves to get shagged while Lewis has the belt on.
