    Such a dick move from Ishihara with that "glove touch" at the start. I'd love to see him get sparked out after that.

    Well guys? Barnett or Nelson?

    I am going for Barnett as Nelson always seems lazy to me!

    Barnett by submission late in the fight, he will keep Nelson on the ground and tire him out then lock in the sub late on for the win.

    Cracking fight that. Shame Ishihara didn't lose after his little stunt at the start of the fight though.

    What way are they going to sort the UFC contract and trophy now?

    It would be like having a huge slug on top of you! :D

    I didnt realise for ages that Nelson is actually a bjj black belt but Barnett tapped out Dean Lister (albeit in a grappling tournament not mma) so overall I see Barnett winning

    Not really, Brandao has just taken the sport more seriously since the McGregor loss. His weight cutting has been better, same with his training camps and and hes getting the performances as a result. The Diego that McGregor fought is a different one to the one in the cage now.

    Trying to keep Nelson on the ground would be suicide, he's a high level BJJ black belt under Renzo Gracie, just because Nelson doesn't go to the ground doesn't mean it's because he can't.

    dunno man brandao was doing this before mcg and now doing it after.
    have to disagree with you, but in a friendly exchange of views kind of disagree.

    He got touched by Greatness and has now improved like Holloway and Poirier! (although don't mention brimage :P)

    Im quite aware of Nelsons ground game, but standing in front of Nelson isnt the place you want to be. Barnett has an excellent wrestling game and his best chance is to grind Nelson on the ground and against the cage and tire him out then lock in a sub.

    still dont see how going to ground with nelson is a good decision, if the guy gets on top of barnett good luck breathing with that fat ass on you

    The difference as I said is his approach to fighting, not just him getting wins. He used to miss weight and was just lazy in his approach. Since the loss to McGregor hes upped his game and comes in looking lean and ready to fight and is taking it more seriously.

    He was reported have told Poirier he would stab him in the neck before their fight. Its the same fight that he weighed in 7 pounds over the limit. Clearly with that kind of carry on he wasnt taking things seriously and needed a reality check.

    I'd love to see Joe do an MMA fight. He has TKD and BJJ . Id say he would do well. I know he is 48 but I mean if he fought someone that age just for the hell of it!

    Nah he's admitted before on podcast that his jiu jitsu and stand up is sub par, plus why risk it his podcast is thought provoking I rarely miss it, he has the commentary, and apparently he's a funny stand up seen him live in ka theater in mgm during mcgregor vegas in July and was awsone
