Why did UFC keep this as a 5 Round fight to begin with? I know RDA was training for it for the main event the previous week until Fiziev had visa issues and then got Covid this week, but no way should a guy on 5 day notice be in a 5 rounder. Goddard is arguably the best ref in MMA, but fuck him, Moicano’s corner, and especially that doctor.
Letting that go also puts RDA in a shitty position. He either keeps pounding this dude like a psychopath and potentially killing him or he takes it a little easier on him like a good sport but then risks getting fluke KO’d with 4 seconds left
I know dick about MMA but go Masvidal because Covington seems like a deplorable human, odds seem to be favoring me going to sleep upset over something I don't care much about.
Both of these guys fucking suck as human beings so fuck both of them. Hope they have a boring ass fight that ends in a weak decision.
Colby smothering him right off the bat, really thought Jorge would give him a challenge for at least a round or two.
Jorge is not bothered by Colby's ground game. He hasn't been sub'd since 2009? Ha Jorge KO/TKO is only a matter of time.
not saying this to you in particular but it always seems like people tend to be surprised to find out boxers and MMA fighters are typically just horrible people. they're hit in the head a lot and prized for their violence, of course most of them are going to be incapable of being normal human beings.
When you see Colby walking forward with his hands up that means he doesnt have a power hand/side. Only a matter of time. Tick Tock...Bing Bong.
I am under no illusion most of these fighters are shit heads, but Colby and Jorge are the most outspoken about their political shitty-ness by a wide margin.
He's good, really good, but Covington is better. They just have the unfortunate position of being in the same division as Usman
Thankfully, Colby has pillow hands and shit submissions, because he’d be one of the greatest fighters in history if he had power or subs.
Except he just signed a huge deal because 1 flying knee against autistic Ben Askren tricked the casual fans into thinking he was good.
He's 37 and the only good wrestler he's defeated in the last 5+ years was a bum with a flying knee to start the fight I'd watch him fight Diaz again, but if he fights a wrestler with a decent chin... probably gonna be a bad night for him
I think Covington just cost Masvidal the rest of his career. How do you take his "BMF" title seriously now? He just got smushed for 5 rounds
I'd pay if they did an entire card of fighters from that region (Dagestan?) and also that Moldovan psycho that's always roided out
He'll come out and whine about how Colby didn't want to fight and just wanted to hug him and if Colby was a real fighter he would have stood up and banged with him leading to a KO. Jorge is who he always was. He struck gold with the long hair, street Jesus bullshit, the 3 piece and a soda line, and the knee. But he's just a middle tier fighter who talks a bigger game than he ever delivers.
I didn't. I know my contribution in this thread tonight was laughable but I still think Masvidal is the better fighter. Wrestling is hard to overcome and JM has a history of being timid. Bad combo.
I get you like him more and Colby is more hated but unless you want to use a fighting metric outside of MMA, Colby is a way better fighter
Colby definitely won per MMA/UFC rules. He optimized his body and his game plan for that. Per the rest, there's literal film of Masvidal fighting in backyards. Your fly by night accusation is way off. He even got a Bodog shoutout tonight by Rogan.
God damn I'll admit I'm not an expert on this stuff, but this is the argument you are gonna use for Masvidal? Listen to yourself.
