Paid Members Egg Shen Posted September 24, 2020 Paid Members Posted September 24, 2020 could have sworn Tuivasa had been cut last week? Quote
Paid Members WeeAl Posted September 24, 2020 Paid Members Posted September 24, 2020 Yeah I thought that too. Maybe this is one of those "win and you're in" situations. Last chance saloon, pink slip for the loser. Quote
Paid Members wandshogun09 Posted September 24, 2020 Paid Members Posted September 24, 2020 Now THIS is the type of fight you book Robbie Lawler in. Been calling for this one forever. Quote
Guy Bifkin Posted September 24, 2020 Posted September 24, 2020 I dunno Wand I think Lawler's done. Can see Perry beating him, which would be awful. Quote
Paid Members wandshogun09 Posted September 24, 2020 Paid Members Posted September 24, 2020 That seems to be pretty much the consensus opinion from what I’m reading online but I don’t know. Perry’s nothing special. And while Lawler’s definitely not the beast he used to be, he’s lost to Magny and Covington in his last couple who are both hard to look good against at the best of times. Covington probably beats everyone in the division not named Usman (although maybe him too in a rematch) and the Magny fight came together last minute as Lawler stepped in to replace Geoff Neal. I’m not saying he hasn’t lost a couple of steps but I wouldn’t say he’s done just yet. This Perry fight will answer a lot about what he’s got left because on paper this is right up his alley stylistically. If he looks gunshy here, yeah I’d say he’s finished. Quote
jimufctna24 Posted September 24, 2020 Posted September 24, 2020 I don't get the same hard-on over Lawler that most do. But if Perry managed to beat him, it would be almost as sad as when Schuab beat an ancient version of Cro Cop. Quote

Love that fight. Exactly the kind of bout Lawler should be in at this point. Even if he loses, he's going out swinging. Quote

Paid Members wandshogun09 Posted September 26, 2020 Paid Members Posted September 26, 2020 Colby Covington reckons him vs Masvidal is in the works for December. What happened to Jorge vs Nate 2? Although to be honest, fuck that BMF bollocks. I’d rather see this. The Colby-Jorge thing is a fresh fight with a backstory going back years. The Nate thing was just a re-run of a one sided beating. I’d watch it but I’m over the BMF thing. If 170 shapes up something like this over the next few months... Kamaru Usman vs Gilbert Burns Colby Covington vs Jorge Masvidal Leon Edwards vs Wonderboy Thompson Demian Maia vs Khamzat Chimaev Robbie Lawler vs Mike Perry Niko Price vs Michel Pereira Neil Magny vs Vicente Luque Gerald Meerschaert vs Mickey Gall maybe, just to get Our Gerald back in the win column. That leaves...maybe Woodley vs...Cerrone? Diaz? I don’t know. Probably forgetting a couple of obvious ones. I’d be well happy. This would do me for Welterweight. Quote
Dzeko10 Posted October 2, 2020 Posted October 2, 2020 (edited) Breaking report from Combate's @raphamarinho : Cody Garbrandt is out of his bout against Deiveson Figueiredo at UFC 255 and is being replaced by Alex Perez. Perez was scheduled to face Brandon Moreno at the event. Not Ideal that. Edited October 2, 2020 by Dzeko10 Quote
Paid Members wandshogun09 Posted October 2, 2020 Paid Members Posted October 2, 2020 Yeah was just about to post that. Can’t be COVID as the fight is still just under 2 months away. Cody must be injured. Seeing all sorts of comments how this is a disaster and that Figueiredo vs Garbrandt was the big fight that Flyweight needed but...was it? I mean, it was bigger than Perez or Moreno sure. Just because Cody had the belt at 135 for a bit, coached TUF etc. But I think people are overestimating how big a name he is. Fig vs Cody probably wouldn’t have done much better than any other Flyweight title fight on top. We’re talking marginal differences surely. Cody’s not some game changer. People going on like that was a ‘money fight’ must’ve lowered the bar for what’s considered a money fight these days. And besides, fuck him. He was jumping the queue anyway. I didn’t have a big problem with that but I’m not feeling sorry for him that someone else is getting the shot now either. My only disappointment here is that, while Perez is alright, I’d have preferred Figgy vs Moreno myself. Oh well. Quote
Paid Members Egg Shen Posted October 2, 2020 Paid Members Posted October 2, 2020 Figgy/Royval is the fight Quote
Paid Members wandshogun09 Posted October 2, 2020 Paid Members Posted October 2, 2020 I thought about Royval but thought it might be a little bit early for him. But fuck it. I’d have been all over that if that’s the direction they went in. Quote
Paid Members Egg Shen Posted October 2, 2020 Paid Members Posted October 2, 2020 quite surprised at that news, that said i could see Johns making a good stab at it in Bellator. Quote
Paid Members wandshogun09 Posted October 2, 2020 Paid Members Posted October 2, 2020 (edited) Bellator signed Rustam Khabilov today as well. That’s an even bigger surprise than Johns to me. Surprise that the UFC have let him loose, not that Bellator have picked him up. Probably just a case of his contract coming to an end and him wanting to go elsewhere. Khabilov is coming off a UFC win, has won 7 of his last 8 and has a win over Jorge Masvidal on his record (albeit years ago). Edited October 2, 2020 by wandshogun09 Quote
