UFC 200 Event Thread - Cormier v Jones 2

Interslice

an amateur bjj fight at ufc 200 :cool:

RonanP77

I'm happy to see Sage win, 29-28 was fair. I'd like to see him do well. I was impressed with some of his ground work.

Swashbuckler

I don't get the hate. He's 20 and plenty time to improve. I like him to be fair. I think he gets a bit too much hate coz he's being fast tracked. Not his fault.

The White Feather

Have to go back and look at that fight again sometime but I thought Marin won that.

Its not hate for Sage as I think he is great. Just pointing out the obvious that his bjj needs work and this is the UFC. The highest level. He doesn't get a pass because he is young

They were like two amateurs. If Sage is going to be fighting cans, it shouldnt be in the ufc.

Feel sorry for Diego & Joe after all their years given they should have been on instead of that glorified amateur exhibition.

Don't get the Sage hate at all? He's 20 years old ffs!

yep. considering most ufc fighters get signed in their mid to late twenties, he's a scary prospect for the future. i think the hate's cause the ufc brass love him and he looks like a action figure.

What fights were you watching? :eek:

He's hated for a number of reasons,I dislike him because he claims his last loss was a complete fluke due to a sore throat,he'd should take his loss like a man,if you were impressed by him there or marin you're new to the sport and grappling,you'll learn lads whitebelt stuff.

Marin falling over the top when trying to take the back had me bringing hard. Seriously bad stuff.

I'm pretty sure they'll get a bonus for Fight Pass sign ups to watch them. I think I heard Ariel Helwani say a while back that it's more lucrative for fighters to be on Fight Pass than on the televised prelims.

I always know who's headlining the Fight Pass card rather than the Fox prelims.

Chris.

Watching on fight pass on a 360 and it keeps buffering every so often...Trying my best to keep calm 😖

I get what you're saying but again that's not his fault. Ufc obviously like his marketability.

This fight should make up for the absolute sh*te-show that was the last one.

Media members scorecards. 18 or so for Sage, 4 for Marin.

If his claims about his loss being a fluke and wouldn't happen again were true, he should have run through Marin, who was clearly being fed to Sage for that reason. But he barely scraped past him. He can only fight so many cans, when he meets a legit fighter he'll get destroyed unless he makes a drastic improvement.

love the lower weight fights, so fast.

Gamebred

Tj's win over Barao was one of the most impressive wins ive ever seen always looked out for him great to watch.

Said it on the mma hour,Barberena would rape him again.

For me, there is always only one TJ ....

TJ Hooker!!!!

Subcomandante Marcos

10-9 TJ. But not by much.

Dillashaw shaded that I'd say
