UFC 209: Woodley vs Thompson 2 Sat Mar 4th

Gamebred

Yeah I know Ferguson has a very good wrestling pedigree has added some slick bjj too but I think Khabib is just relentless does reportedly be taking down the likes of Rockhold in the gym, his guard passing is sick too if he does get the takedown, was impressed with Fergusons cardio in Mexico so Im hoping for a 5rd affair here.

Honestly, I haven't been excited for a match-up like this since the first fight was scheduled, adds to the excitement that its for the interim strap (only time I'll get excited for it).

Ferguson has got some serious cardio, he lives in Big Bear which has the same elevation has Mexico City, trains there year round.

I actually hope they both take each other down. We've never really seen Khabib's bottom game and I'd love to see perhaps the best top game vs the best bottom game in the UFC if Khabib managed to take him down.

We've seen Trujillo escape Khabib a few times with similar rolls, and he isn't half as good as Ferguson at it.

Abel Trujillo escaped alright...into takedowns

He escaped the first few





Khabib eventually figured how to counter his granby's but again, Trujillo isn't half as slick as Ferguson.

Khabib had to grind out a decision vs Trujillo, Ferguson submitted him in the second

ASOT

He took him down 23 times; way more than grinding out a win. I cannot wait for this card very excited.

Also the whole he decisioned him; he finished him stuff is massivley flawed. Going to be a cracking fight though.

Ultimate Takedown Championship

He rag dolled him in that fight alright, still should've went for the finish though.

I enjoyed the fight tbf; eventually got it with MJ aswell making him quit, Abel didnt seem to quit thats what kept it going!

ricero

If Khabib was on top of me I'd just tap.

After what he did to Tavares(I'd be shocked if he didn't have long term brain damage from that)

MJ got off lightly with a kimura, still ate a fierce amount of GNP though.

The best about the mj one is him telling him to give up, i pray they make it to the cage if they dont it will kill the buzz of the card for me.

Same. It's so close now, both guys should be finished the hard stuff.

I think Dana would sue AKA if anything happened to Khabib, they've cost so many headliners in the last year.

Do ye reckon they have anyone lined up as a stand by replacement? Nate is training away by the looks of it but doubt he'd take it. Hope we don't jinx it now it would be so disappointing if either pulled out.

Not a chance Nate will, unless they are gonna pay him a flat fee of $5m. Ferguson and Khabib aren't massive draws and I think they'd want Nate headlining anyway.

I think Eddie Alvarez might be on standby though. Which is an interesting matchup for both guys imo.

Gamb!t

Will be interesting fight for sure,Hope Ferguson wins but I think Nurmagomedov will win.

Gamebred

Lando is on the card for that reason imo.

You think they'd put him in there for the Interim strap?

Part of me would love to see it, but the logical part of me says there are much more deserving guys.

Lando is exciting as hell but it's not a given he gets past Teymur who if you include TUF has like 7 KO's in a row

Gamebred

No there'd be no belt I dont think, just the rematch with a full camp v Tony or a good new match up v Khabib striker v grappler.

Great promo for Woodley v Wonderboy. Think the guy is Irish as well. He's the best on YouTube in any case.

Love kwozymoto, my favorite is his Hendo video before the Bisping rematch.

Muck Promo basically a compilation of interviews for 2 minutes much better promo makers than him,


this is a real bit of video editing right here

Pride was so good. Bring back the crazy Japanese girl screaming the fighters names as they come in. Bring back 10 minute rounds.

Nick Diaz v Gomi sums up the organisation I think. A crazy fight where Nick was allegedly high during the fight, two lads just standing and trading and then a Gogoplata to finish. Couldn't make it up.

Gamebred

Yep i wish I was a fan back then to see Pride at the time live some epic mma moments for sure, 10 years yesterday Diaz Gomi was,

on highlights videos I'll leave ye with one more of my favourites

Embedded is up.

I am incredibly excited for this weekend. I think its going to be really close with Ferguson and Khabib.

I wonder who Conner would prefer to win? I assume that Ferguson would be a better match up for him.

Mr. Manager

Khabib would maul Conor - he definitely wants the Ferguson fight (if he ever decides to grace us with his presence again)

Heard it all before, from Black belt to top 10 to top 5 to a wrestler to Aldo to Alvarez, all them were going to maul him never happens,

Khabib might maul conor or he might get knocked the f out in the first round, or the start of the second. MJ found that chin and Khabib was on weak legs, I think Conor would stand a good chance.

Mellor

I think people will have a different opinion of Khabib vrs Conor after this weekend.

In what way? If Khabib beats Tony the same way he beat MJ and RDA, my opinion would be that Khabib would be a huge favourite against McGregor.
