Actually looking forward to this

Pretty Meh, card. I think Potier made one mistake, he should have just threw caution to the wind when he managed to wobble him, take him to the ground and smash the **** out of his nose.

Tony Ferguson will be the exact same fight. Nate Diaz vs. Jorge Masvidal will be awesome

the power of Ne Waza ;-)

I had a kid with me watching it, I say Kid, hes 6.1 75kg with as close to zero body fat you are going to see outside of a bodybuilding competition, half Serbia half South African, dad is elite special forces and mates with Mirko. He wants to be a MMA fighter and if they gave our wins for scary looking dudes he would win everytime. But I was telling him, if he was my lad and he wanted to jump into a ring against this generation of fighters, if you are not worldclass at Judo, BJJ or Wrestling its a ****ing non starter. On the undercard on the early prelims ther was another lad from SA fighter and Kick Boxing phenom, he simply got in his pocket, put him up against the fence and hit with an occasional elbow, knee, eventually scoring a couple of take downs and winning. Dominc Cruz who I think is the smartest commentator in the game, said, that kid better get used to it or change his game because thats what everyone will do against him.

Brought us onto a conversation about Khabib, how do you beat him? I basically said until he faces another worldclass wrestler like Matt Huges in his prime, he will have his way with everyone, You only get one small chance with him and thats if you clip him, he has a chin but he has been wobbled two times now, I honestly think you jump on him and try and smash his nose into a 1000 pieces, chances are you are not knocking him out, the nose has to be weakest part of a figher, does not matter how tough you are, you cannot train your nose lol then again he could probally wrestle half blind from muscle memory.

I see a lot of bjj techniques in krav maga

[Nicey]

Yeah, it's just a collection of techniques which are very usable in real-life situations, developed from the ground up for violent unplanned situations. I think BJJ is the absolute best traditional martial art which is effective in a real-life situation, hence why you would see a lot of it in Krav.

I saw the Overeem fight last night. I probably shouldn't spoil it but **** me, that was nasty.

[Alex]

Yeah **** me. That photo is grim.

[ntto]

Kabib just retired

[RichC]

McGregor stopped by Poirier. Cracking effort from him there

[fabinho]

You can't keep jumping in and out of the fight game expecting to win against guys living the warrior life. The moneys corrupted him and the hungers not there. He should just retire (properly).

[fidget]

lol - I'm happy with that
Typical arrogance from McGregor.
If you take a wide stance and don't even try to check any kicks you deserve what you get.
He's got no ground game at all and his standup isn't even that special anymore.

Good to see McGregor isn't bitter about not being able to put an old fella on the floor
