    He couldn’t..... could he?

    Maybe not Hendricks came on well.

    Rig needs to find a way to get this guy down.

    They're the same size. He was younger, his wrestling is better than GSP's so he nullified GSP's biggest advantage over everyone else.

    I know some fans don't want to hear it, but reallly.....everyone was juicing.

    Without a doubt. Remember Overeems size a few years back.

    Hendricks off to Bellator I guess.

    1-5 in his last 6 bouts, with the win being a decision over Lombard.

    That, coupled with his issues making weight and general ****ery and the UFC will be rubbing their hands at giving him the chop.

    Some of those punches on the replay look nasty

    Namajunas via KO/TKO
    Is that not another early stoppage or am I drunk?

    If Hendricks fights again it has to be against Machida or something not against anyone ranked.

    Nah, very good stoppage IMO. Johny was about to get knocked into 2018.

    He was being pummeled. No real defense

    Sorta borderline. He got hit with two big uppercuts, I was shouting at Big John to stop it, but as he started to wave it off, Big Rig was on a single leg/ankle pick

    Should he not have given him a chance though.

    He looked toast but let him take a few more, meh maybe not.

    Dunno, five, or even three years ago, I would have agreed with you, but I've come round to the idea that early stoppages are better than late


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,571 ✭✭✭0byme75341jo28


    The stoppages in New York generally seem a bit more cautious than usual. Wonder if the commissions are allowed dictate that diet of thing?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,084 ✭✭✭✭Kirby


    I'm excited to see Wonderboy fight somebody not named Woodley.

    2-0 Wonderboy. Masvidal caught him nicely once in that round but Thompson looks a class above him here.
