1-1 going into the third ,I think

Wayne Jarvis · 28-09-2019 9:04pm

Why is Kavanagh the one giving instructions between rounds if Gunnar does almost the entirety of his camp without him?

Fromvert · 28-09-2019 9:07pm

That was extremely close, tough to call a winner. Think Burns might have edged it.

The White Feather · 28-09-2019 9:07pm

Either Gunni was just poor in that round or he was injured. Maybe his leg. Just held him against the cage a lot and didn't do anything. Then may have lost the round with that takedown by Burns

Zero-Cool · 28-09-2019 9:07pm

Jesus that was poor

ricero · 28-09-2019 9:08pm

Nelson is bang average. Time for him to hang up the gloves

eagle eye · 28-09-2019 9:10pm

Burns won that fight quite clearly 29-28 imo.

rob316 · 28-09-2019 9:10pm

He needs to go to lightweight he could be a real force there.

Whelo79 · 28-09-2019 9:11pm

Gunnar is just too pedestrian. He needs to seriously pick up his pace in fights.

He doesnt seen too interested in fighting often since he had a kid. He's not top 10 and he struggles to do enough to win close fights, striking not good enough and struggles to get into top position with his takedowns. He seems happy enough to compete once/twice a year and bounce around the outer limits of the top 20/25.

Ego, Kavanagh is damn lucky he had McGregor in fairness

Fromvert · 28-09-2019 9:21pm

It's Gunni's decision who is in his corner and dishes out the advice between rounds. If he didnt want Kavanagh there he wouldnt be there.

I think this too. He spends far too long waiting for openings that often never come.

Fair play to Joanna Jedrzejczyk making weight considering she told the UFC last week that she wouldn't be able to. cant imagine the past week has been fun

Was wondering if it was all a ploy to distract/off-centre Waterson?
I'm not sure, but that type of scheming something I could easily imagine of her!

Brussels Sprout · 11-10-2019 5:53pm

I think Waterson herself has voiced that same suspicion. That'd be some next-level mind games if true although if it really it was it could have back-fired since the UFC offered Waterson a completely different fight that she turned down.

I wouldn't say fair play. Obviously she could make it as she did so why did she say it? Laziness, mind games, negative attitude? No way to say but it doesn't speak volumes about her confidence.

mailburner · 12-10-2019 11:51pm

Elliot should have kept that standing, was doing well up till that

derfderf · 13-10-2019 12:14am

Good fight this one

The White Feather · 13-10-2019 12:18am

The fights so far have been fun. I hope I haven't jinxed things by saying that now!!

mailburner · 13-10-2019 12:19am

I hope those two get a reward for that fight

Have to admire Griffin to come back so strong in the third

The White Feather · 13-10-2019 12:26am

Gifford took some amount of hits to the head in that round......!!!

mailburner · 13-10-2019 12:34am

Corner need to stop this

The White Feather · 13-10-2019 12:36am

Corner should have pulled him out. Don't like seeing this. He looks wrecked

The White Feather · 13-10-2019 12:40am

Normally love a KO but that was tough to watch. Gifford should have been stopped by his corner or the ref earlier

Mehaffey1 · 13-10-2019 12:46am

Just tuned in at the start of Round 3 there, didn't recognise that as a UFC contest.

Obviously we all know it should've been stopped long before Gifford was falling untouched due to being battered and exhausted. The only other comment I can bring is I wish we heard as much controversy, outcry and negativity over this refereeing mistake as we would over something like Herb Dean's call between Robbie and Askren. Just because they aren't the main event or superstars doesn't mean they don't deserve the same level of professionalism in the Octagon.

Also, thought corners were getting better at realising there is no benefit to letting their fighter getting knocked out or submitted but not in this case.

Rant over.

The White Feather · 13-10-2019 12:56am

Very nice sub by Spann there

Mehaffey1 · 13-10-2019 1:05am

Spann ruining my accumulator there, just got into gear quicker than Clark in my opinion.

Another Light Heavyweight match were you walk away thinking who in the world can challenge Jon Jones aside from Santos, been that story in the division for 6 months plus.

Jamiekelly · 13-10-2019 1:52am

Corner asked Frevola what's 7 + 4? He answered 10...jesus

He got it right the second time tho!! :pac:

The White Feather · 13-10-2019 2:40am

I had completely forgot about Chris Weidman. Should be interesting to see him back in the Octagon

martyos121 · 13-10-2019 2:52am

Haven’t seen an up kick KO in a long time, Price landed it perfectly!

The White Feather · 13-10-2019 2:52am

Beautiful upkick KO!!

mailburner · 13-10-2019 3:52am

50/45. Calling it now jj

Next four rounds won't be any different imo

Mellor · 13-10-2019 4:02am

Amazing jiu jitsu is not a huge benefit when you’ve zero takedowns.

JJ v Waterson looks like a demo for why Thai style kicks are more effective than traditional martial arts style kicks.

mailburner · 13-10-2019 4:05am

Watersons back in this one.... really?

One good moment is all

Wayne Jarvis · 13-10-2019 8:37am

There is something very scary looking, to me at least, about James Vick getting knocked out. I think it's how lanky he is, how long his arms are and the way he flops down to the floor. That's 3 knockouts he has suffered in 14 months, he should seriously consider taking a good bit of time off at the very least.

I know it's irrational but it bugs me that Michelle Waterson smiles when she loses. She was beaming after this fight!

She was almost in tears doing her interview?

I didn't watch them, I just watched as far as the decision.

The Nal · 13-10-2019 12:25pm

Got home from the pub and switched on Davis vs Gifford. Urgh. Horrible to watch. Went to bed.

The ref was so bad he got pulled from the rest of the card by the Florida Athletic Commission. Was horrible to watch. What's even worse is Giffords father was in the corner and didn't think to stop it at the end of the 2nd round.

EagererBeaver · 18-10-2019 9:45am

#stillmyboy gonna get brutally KOed again tonight.

Please just retire.

rob316 · 18-10-2019 10:25am

It's on tonight, not tomorrow night just for anyone who may not have been aware.

Mehaffey1 · 18-10-2019 1:14pm

Can't see Weidman being successful here. Great card too.
