Why, you think someone with not much fighting skill but with 1 hit can knock someone out because his born with it ( genetic)and so has huge power should win the fight vs a guy whos born with less power ( genetics) but has developped fighting skill and can hit him 10 times while getting hit 1 time , do not deserved the win if he took 1 or 2 shot that hurt him badly.

I disagree.

Think of it this way. You are a mega billionaire crime boss with evil intentions to take over the world. You have a multi leveled hideout that a capable hero will have to enter and work their way up by fighting your henchmen to get to you. At the end of each level you post one tough boss that guards the stairs with the sole purpose of keeping you safe. You gonna post bisping or hendo by that staircase? Conor or Diaz?

Next question...all in their prime, five choices of fighters from weakest to strongest, who are your level bosses right to the end boss who is your last hope?

This is a serious question. If I win the lotto I have a lot of revenge planned.

One of the dumbest arguments I've ever seen on here, well done.

Top floor: Fedor
Wanderlei
Mark Hunt
Anderson
Lesnar

Overeem, Rampage, Liddell, (fine, Jon Jones), maybe GSP before he got the belt you could add in too.

First, LOL.

Most of Henderson damage was done in rd1, there were 4 other rounds left. Also, some people's face shows more damage than another.

Ronda will fight Nunes @ ufc 207 on the 30th of December

Ronda opened as something like a -280 favorite.

McGregor has apparently vowed to never fight in Nevada again after they fined him 150K for the pre-fight incident. Think I read that he headlined 4 of the top 5 MMA box-office fights in Vegas history, so that actually makes something of an impact on the local economy.

I worked the commission hearing. Wondering what he expected would happen.

They could have suspended him and there is a strong probability that NY would have respected the suspension.

They were tossing around a fine of 25k to 300k and settled on 5% of the purse.

re: Bisping/Hendo.
I had it 48-47 Bisping but can see 48-47 Hendo and I'm not even that offended by 49-46 Bisping. Strikes in the 2R were like 42-11 before the H Bomb to close the round. There needs to obviously be more clarity in judging and there need to be more 10-8s not that I thought round 1 was a 10-8.

re: McGregor
Don't blame him. That fine is outrageous. A fine of ~50k with substantial community service would have been way more fair. The commission got greedy and just wanted a piece of his $ after he continued to brag about his pay day. Nate is not going to take his fine well at all during his hearing.

re: Ronda
Pretty amazed the line is that high and I'm currently tempted to put some on Nunes. Edmond is a dumpster fire and there's no way he's going to improve Ronda in the next two months in her standup. Nunes picked apart Miesha and should look to use the blueprint Holly created. If she can avoid the clinch and subsequent judo toss it could be another quick and bad night for Ronda.

Also re: UFC 204 as a whole.

On paper the card looked pretty horrible. But man I thought it delivered. After the snoozefest decision in the opener (lol at Santos calling out Chiesa btw) the next 9 fights were finishes followed by the Bisping/Hendo war. I really enjoyed it.

Perry is a dick but has huge power, Diakiese is a super fun prospect, Alcantara had some really slick combinations to sub Pickett, Bektic is back on track, Struve actually looking competent, Manuwa flatlining OSP, and Gegard continuing to move his way up. Fun!

I don't see -280, must've got bet down.

See -215/+170 on 5D.

Tend to think Rousey comes back strong.

If Rousey wins then her and Pena seems logical. Then maybe 1 more with Miesha for the $ and that is probably it. Don't see her doing MMA too much longer.

Are you having a stroke? I say "Bisping won" and you say "Nope, Bisping won"

I even highlighted it for you...

They could just keep rolling him out in MSG. Conor gonna sell out Vegas or New York regardless and New York feels like a better spot for him between the 2.

Of course then you sell the big fight in a couple years when he returns to Vegas.

There's probably not too many fights after NYC for Conor. I kinda believe him when he says he plans to retire before he takes too much of a beating. Think he'll do at least one big one in Ireland and maybe another in NYC at Barclay's.

I think Nunes is pretty beatable, given that she's been beaten several times. She has a bad loss to d'aelio and also lost to Zingano right before Ronda steamrolled Zingano.

Ronda is somewhat of a mystery box, in that we have no idea how she will react to this adversity. Not clear if her disaster of a coach can change her striking approach - she's got clear talent/potential to be a reasonably good striker, but the execution and strategy are awful.

Conor has brought so much fanfare and commerce to Vegas with his fights. He also bought real estate in Vegas. Maybe he just wants to make them sweat a little before he returns.

150k does seem like a shakedown

I like how CM acts that Vegas will die without him now that he isn't fighting there.

Shows how much of an egotistical tool he is. People crap out all the time and Vegas keeps churning. Good luck CM.
