Cro Cop and fedor <3 legends.
Silva still has the best Counter striking in mma.Psh Rich will wing it outi believe in him. You have to realize Vitor's hands are fucking fast, Silva trys to do his "dodging shit" wont end well. he got tag'd by Sonnen a few times doing that shit. Imagine Vitor tagging him with Vitor's power. Silva will be in HUGE trouble. Im sure Silva is better at striking, HOWEVER he cant take stupid chances like trying to stand in front of Vitor and dodging his attacks. Its psychologically intimidating is it works, however that's not worth the risk. Half the time i have to rewind and see what punch Vitor threw when he kncoks someone out.
Bader has power and is stronger than jones. Look at their physiques, Bader looks like he is out of bodybiulding class 24/7 and looks bigger than Jones, is that a 8 pack i see?. Jones has the speed/creative striking advantage. Bader has the power advantage.
All in all, this is a fucking STACKED fight.
Cro Cop and fedor <3 legends.
Fight of the year or Insomnia treatment of the year. Those two are just doing the same exact thing over and over again. Edgar- Maynard 3 is the same exact thing. Maybe if they actually when for submissions/actual striking than attempting and defending take-downs it might be better.
Im okay when it gets to the ground actually i enjoy and love it. But it really starts to be annoying when Maynard strategy is the same thing he came with the first time. Look at Fitch, his game has never changed he basically just held Thiago down for 3 rounds.
I agree with fitches fights always being a snooze fest but did you even watch maynard/edgar 2? The both of them engaged in striking through almost 5 rounds and when they weren't doing that they were sprawling like crazy. If round 1 wasn't "actual striking" then idk what is... unless you consider "Actual striking" to the guida/sanchez fight which were barely if at all technical strikes (basically swing till one drops) which edgar/maynard both aint into because there more technical strikers and think before they make a move in the cage.
and this fight is a foty canditate and it aint to early to say that. More fights will happen through the year that could possibly be better then that bout but that doesn't mean this fight wasn't foty candidate worthy.
ITs not like he hasnt had good fights, they are exciting fights, he just seems to get the nods.Well that was pretty random lol but still, Dunham first round KO please
Leonard Garcia should have the nickname. "Leonard "The Split Decision" Garcia!
I really dont like this dude. He thinks he wins the bullshit decisions he gets.
He hasnt had a good fight since forever, thankfully Hominick toke him down finally. i was a little worried Leonard Garcia was a about to get another split after that fight tbh.
I dont point Edgar-Maynard for FOTY, but I did like the fight quite a bit.I agree with fitches fights always being a snooze fest but did you even watch maynard/edgar 2?

The fight was good, they were striking a lot. They are not submission orionted fighters. Frankie has one sub, but they do not train for sub's. They are wrestlers that can strike.I did indeed see the right and i saw Maynard drop Edgar and i felt some hope, but Edgar's chin was too good. I saw the entire fight and i could not see any knock-out power in either. Both of them were sprawling, but wheres the submissions? All i saw was some striking that was a complete snoozefest.
Only memorable moment was when Maynard drop'd edgar down once, and after that i felt a snoozefest coming in. I just dont feel the adrenaline for Edgar VS Maynard as i do for every other division's championship matchs.

...........
-.-
After I steal your 5c I might.
I think the consensus is Fedor will annihilate him though.
He almost lost to a LHW
If i had more money, I would say put your money where your mouth is.
My list right now on ranks
1. Shogun
2. Rashad
3. Rampage
4. Winner of Jones/Bader
5. Winner of Griffin/Franklin
6. Winner of Machida/Couture
Well you're the pokerking aren't you?
Jones has not fought a top 10 LHW yet. No way you can put him that high. I like the guy but that's way too high.
Griffin beat a washed up Ortiz, no way you can put him that high either.
Machida lost to top 3 LHW's, no way you can drop him that low.

Iza cashed my paypal out

He has dominated every fight. If he wins, I will be fine with him that high.
Griffin beat a washed up Ortiz, no way you can put him that high either.
Griffin also beat Rampage/Shogun. I believe the winner from him and franklin is near a title shot
Machida lost to top 3 LHW's, no way you can drop him that low.
