Pimblett, even though I like him, is such an average fighter. The fact that the commentators were talking about a potential draw shows how crooked cage warriors is.

selassie · 02-09-2018 12:31pm

Would like to see Dylan Tuke fight Pimblett, big scalp to take if he can beat him.

jimmii · 02-09-2018 1:00pm

They've given him such a big hand up in the past wouldn't have been surprised if he'd managed to get a result last night too! If he really wants to go as far as he says he dies then maybe last night is the wake up call he needs. He can keep on beating the guys they feed to him or he can take some time out and really try improve everything and then come back and see where it takes him. Fighting every 3 or 4 months isn't going to help his development especially with all the cutting. Must have been incredibly painful behind the scenes seeing their golden bigger beat then the new champ saying he's off on holiday and the only person allowed to call him is the boss of another promotion!

I could see Jack Grant getting a shot at some point presumably on a UK card. Certainly knows how to finish and likes to try some different stuff like the jumping knee while being in the middle of a single leg!

I'm not a BJJ practitioner, but how the hell did paddy not finish that choke in the first round? It was sunk under the chin. Just not a strong enough squeeze?

My recording cut off bang on 11, half way through round 2. Bah.

Mine did that too. For this very reason I always record the programme after every Cage Warriors and UFC Fight Night event.

The choke was deep, you could see the discomfort on Bak's face, but Pimblet's forearm was under Bak's chin, rather than his elbow. This means he was sqeezing the windpipe instead of the carotid. Bak probably would have tapped to it in training, but had it been positioned better, he would have went out, just like the fight earlier in the night (the fighter escapes me at the moment).

Also, if Pimblet had the arm further around so he was on the carotids, it would have been easier to secure his hand on his own bicep, especially with the gloves on.

Make no mistake though, the choke was tight and Bak was in pain, and in trouble.

I dont think so I always have to stream it, great card this weekend

Rory v Moussai for the mw title
Rampage v Wandy for a bit of nostalgia

Banger of an event really. Can't wait for it. The top 3 are amazing fights and I'm very intrigued to see Pico again.

I'm actually getting giddy thinking of the main event, it's going to be bloody I'd say.

Subcomandante Marcos · 24-09-2018 9:44pm

The main event should be a great fight. Two very evenly matched fighters in terms of skill. I actually think they are possible the best 170 and 185lb fighters on the planet, if not number 2 on their respective divisions for Rory the only question is who's better between himself, Woodley and Askren and I'd fancy Mousassi over any of the top 5 at MW in the UFC.
Mousassi is a much bigger man though and has fought and beaten men a lot bigger than Rory but you can never underestimate Rory.

Agree with all of this, that's why it's such an exciting fight.

EagererBeaver · 24-09-2018 9:55pm

Ha, I suggested Mousassi was the best MW around a couple of months back and was laughed at for it. Definitely right up there.

Still crazy how easy the UFC let him go. I wonder if he'd go back, I'd love to see him fight Bobby knuckles (who I think is the best mw in the world) that would be some scrap.

I setting up a video camera point at tv and recording it live or getting a lend of a vhs video player.

Fell asleep and missed the WW fight but, dare I say it, Wandy-Rampage was...good? 2-2 now and, I hate to say it, I'd watch them do it again.

Channel 5 losd of bollox finishing

EagererBeaver · 30-09-2018 5:58am

Ridiculous. It switched over right in the middle of Macdonald's walkout. My, em, service provider has alternative options so I'm ok, but that's pretty embarrassing.

What u.s channels are showing it??

EagererBeaver · 30-09-2018 6:06am

It's on DAZN. Streaming service similar to Eleven. If you've a similar service, check your live events/ppv folder.

Mousasi too big and too long so far, jabbing the head off him. Macdonald always marks easily but he was very red inside 90 seconds.

EagererBeaver · 30-09-2018 6:09am

Macdonald went for a takedown and ended up in guard. Mousasi mounted him pretty easily and battered him. All over early in the second. Borderline easy for mousasi.

ASOT · 30-09-2018 6:10am

Love Rory but mousassi wayyyyyy to big. It was only a matter of time

martyos121 · 30-09-2018 6:11am

Utter dominance from Mousasi in every area there, thought the fight would last longer but the ground and pound was vicious. Looks like Rory’s nose is broken again, it’ll never be right after what Lawler did to it.

Subcomandante Marcos · 30-09-2018 11:38am

Gegard just too big, too strong, and too technically brilliant. The guard pass was fantastic.

ricero · 30-09-2018 2:00pm

Mousassi is the current goat middleweight.

The ufc were bonkers to let him leave.

I totally agree with you there. He's strong in every area.

I do think that he wanted to leave the UFC though. He was annoyed with the way the title was held up by Bisping so walked away from them.

Rory seems to take an enormous amount of damage. This is the third time at least he's gotten his nose broken, his last win ended up with him not being able to walk and he had to be carried out of the cage. And the Robbie beat down was simply brutal.
He was an idiot for taking the fight and more unnecessary damage.

It looks like the fight was fixed but they accidentally told both guys they were the ones taking the dive :pac:

Paully D · 01-10-2018 9:54pm

Gegard was 200lbs in the cage on Saturday night, Rory was 189.4.

MartyMcFly84 · 02-10-2018 9:26am

it was a very notable size difference

weemcd · 02-10-2018 2:14pm

That was fairly effortless for Mousasi there at the weekend. He has to be the most relaxed/laid back fighter of all time. Plus his jab is feckin lovely.

P.s Wand v Rampage was entertaining as long as it lasted, wayyyyy better than I thought it would be.

Agree on both counts, although I had unsurprisingly low expectations for Rampage Wandy, so being entertained was a relatively simple thing

Just curious how much would bellator fighters be getting paid?

MartyMcFly84 · 08-10-2018 11:19am

There is a wide range, but opening contracts could be $2,000 or $3,000 a fight all the way up to $300,000 which Rampage was paid for his last fight. Generally I believe Bellator is easier going with sponsors so fighters can make significantly more income from sponsors compared to the tight restrictions in the UFC.

they could really do with him now, can't think of a fighter I'd rather of seen wear ufc gold along with rory who almost had it (add condit to that)

whatever about beating the likes of weidman or souza he would have every chance of beating the type of fighters gastelum or whittaker are

I thought they had that booked for The Point Depot?? I've seen a few Irish fighters recently signed by them posting about fighting in 8 weeks time etc. I just presumed they were talking about that Dublin card.
