yeah lets see if he loosens up

*ok branch has no ground game
09-17-2017 , 12:45 AM
Wow and I thought he was gonna get knocked out in round 1.

Branch is supposed to be great on the ground
09-17-2017 , 12:45 AM

He definitely cant win a decision against Oscars boyfriend. Hopefully he puts the pressure on from round 1 in the rematch.

Branch is a legit grappler, it's just Rockhold's top game that is amazing. Second best in the UFC after Khabib.
09-17-2017 , 01:36 PM
Look what he did to Weidman and Bisping once he got there.

Branch had to avoid backing up into the fence at all costs. I think he was spent after rd 1 is what it was.
09-17-2017 , 01:51 PM
it is what it is
09-17-2017 , 03:51 PM
Rockhold murdered Lyoto on the ground too. Dudes top game is insane.
09-17-2017 , 05:08 PM
Rockhold's top game is almost as good as the Rockhold dickriding itt.

I knew there was a prime example I was forgetting.

Was there any improvement on his footwork from his last fight? I heard Branch was lighting him up in the first round and one of Luke's biggest problems is a tendency to retreat in straight lines,
09-18-2017 , 08:12 AM
branch hit him once and stiffened him up but luke recovered. wasn't a terrible effort, luke is just bigger and better in every way

When will they release JBJ's punishment? If he ends up with something like only 3 years when Machida got 2 years for fricken dhea I'll break something
09-19-2017 , 02:58 AM

Spoiler:
He's going to keep getting away with it

Isnt all this usada **** voluntary on the part of ufc management, or is it like some kind of stipulation for keeping fox/reebok contracts? **** is just ruining the sport, considering that everybody takes PEDs.

Such a joke

It was both I believe. They voluntarily entered the program right around the Reebok deal. Those two may have been related, but it was also right before UFC sold, so I believe they thought it would further legitimize the sport. I think it was purely about short term $ and cents.

Also GSP was very vocal about wanting USADA and even maybe retired over it. At the time they may have feared a fighter / union revolt.
09-19-2017 , 11:42 AM
Speaking of GSP - Bisping now saying this is likely his last fight. Lol what a towel. While it's been kinda funny watching him troll the division and shamelessly tie up the belt, this is pure bitchmade lemonade.

But somehow Edmond throwing Ronda under the bus bothers me more. Cyborg said she's not interested anymore but that they could fight in WWE, which is perfect cause that's the only place that clown Edmond belongs. Owned

it's def all about the money. people always forget (myself included) that ultimately the UFC's main income is selling advertising.

they aren't going to get the big big advertisers if the perception of their sport is a bunch of roided up meatheads punching each other. now that the fighters are tested above and beyond any other pro athletes it's tough to make that claim.

i think they're spending something like 10 mil per year on USADA which is peanuts if they think it will help lead to landing a very large advertiser.

I mean, if you just look at it objectively, he's 38 and had a looooooong career, its probably a fine time for him to hang it up. He's got other opportunities right now, I can't really fault him for wanting to step away.
