    Won't last long - Patchy Mix stops him in May.

    He'll probably wet himself again and then they'll give him an easier opponent again.

    No I don’t think so.

    Frans Mlambo has a few wins in Brave.
    I think Will Fleury has too.

    There were others who fought on those cards previously. Sure they was the odd win.

    DJ kod by a knee while he was down a week after he said knees to a down'e opponent in the UFC is pretty mad.

    Moraes looked massive compared to him.

    He was badly hurt by the uppercut that put him down in the first place as well. Stunning KO.

    Yeah the whole exchange was class, it was a great finish.

    Well, Pitbull made mincemeat of Sanchez. That was an alright Bellator card. Lara vs Wanatabe though, is it just me or they both look like two amateurs in there - so much wild, sloppy action on both their parts. Also Lara's choice of garment was questionable, few camera moments where they very quickly switched because it looked like it was about to get x-rated....reminded me of this.

    Female sports outfits are strange.
    Bikini bottoms on their own looks normal. As in Swimming, surfing, beach volley ball. Even similar in gymnastics, or sometimes athletics.

    But stick a mini skirt over it. And it changes the perception. A quick flash as the skirt blows up seems risque, where as on full display and nothing to see here.

    It's really not that at all. For example there's nothing wrong with Dennis Hallman's choice of atire there either from that POV...except with the friction and movement of a fight, you are far more likely to be exposed versus wearing more normal fight gear (and Dennis actually was).

    Nothing whatsoever to do with the garment inherently, and everything to do with choice of garment for a fight.

    I was talking about the perception of outfits generally. Not MMA specifically.

    There are many things wrong with wearing a pair of budgie smugglers.

    Some good fights in PFL last night, Pettis got smashed up by Clay Collard, very very good fight to watch. Got dropped twice in round 2 then nearly came back in round three to win landing a head kick and flying knee.

    Lance Palmer got manhandled by Bubba Jenkins, was very surprised at that.

    Brendan Loughnane Knocked out Shayman Moraes to go top of the FW league with 6 points for that win. Lovely finish.

    Romero out of the Rumble fight.

    Was really looking forward to that one.

    Luke Thomas and Brian Campbell live hosting Big John and Josh Thompson live from Bellator/Mohegan Sun at the moment. Will be a pile of fun or weird, most likely former :) They have started by talking about how broken hearted they all are too re Rumble/Romero falling out.

    The bookies say he's a 30% shot.
    I'd have guessed that was about right, almost on the generous side.

    Looks like they got it wrong.

    He won. Deserves the credit. Good use of elbows to punish Patricky for not controlling for the arms from that position.
    He wasn’t destroying him up to then or anything. Possibly should have been evens not I think about it.[/quote]

    Great win for Peter

    Lovely kick by MVP to mess Anderson's nose up but I'm not entirely sure what he was thinking by keeping his hands so low and blocking the kick with his face

    Some damage down from that, I'd love to see MVP against Raymond Daniels in Bellator, few fights back in the day in the Irish open.

    Not quite Mike Perry bad but it was pretty bad alright.

    Just watched the Werdum PFL fight. Other guy clearly taps, Werdum relaxes the triangle and the the other guy keeps fighting and gets the win.

    Ref ****ed up, as did the people ringside, should be overruled.

    it was a good win..but a lucky one imo.

    He was losing 2-0 in rounds. The jab was working for him really well but it was evident he didnt have the power to hurt Pitbull. The leg kicks really hampered PQ but ill give him credit, he dug deep and those elbows were tasty from the bottom.
    To get a title shot is a big call after that so maybe a rematch in Dublin with a full irish crowd behind him would be better.

    Two judges had it a draw and the other had Queally up.

    He wasn't according to the scorecards.
    The first is maybe a toss up, but there's no way he lost the 2nd. IT was 1-1 at worst.

    Ah yes but SBGi so he won't get credit on here. At the end if the day Pitbull didn't control Peter on the ground and allowed himself to get smashed with elbows. Credit to Peter and a good win. Finding a home for legal elbows from bottom does not equal a lucky win


  • Registered Users Posts: 39,031 ✭✭✭✭Mellor

    That's it in a nutshell. His positioning in guard was poor. It's like he defaulted to BJJ for a minute.

    One FC had an event in India earlier today.

    As usual they had a few Muay Thai fights, one of which involved Irishman Seán Clancy from Cork.
    Another of the Cian Cowley school of 5294491291736 time "world champion" of unverifiable belts given to people in GAA halls.

    Got the absolute ****e slapped out of him.


    Brandon Vera also fought Arjan Bhullar for the heavyweight belt.
