Fascinating fight. Steamrollers steamroll until they can't. Costa v Adesanya is an example. Think chimaev steamrolls burns?
Those were two separate points. The latter was meant to point out Masvidal's career length, which is beyond substantial. He isn't some fly-by-night long haired two piece and a biscuit phony. Well, he kind of was per the UFC marketing machine, but he's been around.
I do because every fighter says Chimaev is freakishly strong. Like he could take down Stipe in a fight strong.
Did Colby call out Dustin to duck Chimaev? I guess Dustin is done at 155? I wasn't expecting that. I thought Colby/Chimaev would be the #1 contender for Usman after Leon.
50-44, 50-45, 49-46 JM caused more damage!!!! The fuck fight were you watching Wee Bey ? CC manhandled him the entire fight and I hate CC with a passion.
One judge gave him one round. It was an absolute dominant performance. Even JM didn't have shit to say.
Manhandled, smothered, outwrestled, yes. JM still did more damage. Above and below CC eye's, his legs/hamstrings. We'll never agree and I sound like a sore loser but having now seen a CC fight I see why the UFC threatened cutting him. Can you think of a more passive dominant top game? minimal GnP/sub threat.
Ya it was bad from a MMA POV I got excited early on when Masvidal was landing. Didn't think he'd gas like that.
Fuck are you even talking about? It's been a while since we've seen a more dominant main event. CC literally more than doubled him in strikes. Just say you're new and don't know wtf you're talking about.
I feel privileged to get the double play treatment but I'm just going to leave it at this, not all significant strikes are the same and box score scouting doesn't tell the whole story.
2x strikes and 6-0 takedowns tells the entire story. Cc dominated that fight in every category and the scorecards were correct. I wanted JM to win too but he got dominated. It wasn't even remotely close.
i can understand hating colby but he isn’t a boring fighter imo. his two fights with kamaru were very entertaining and i enjoyed this one as well. he isn’t afraid of anyone and will be in your face the whole time
There was a moment in round 4 I think where Masvidal hurt him but was either too gassed or too hurt to capitalize.
Yea he couldn’t wrestle Kamaru and had no choice. Last night sucked, wasn’t nearly the same as the Usman fights which were great.
Nope. That’s why Colby was able to fight his fight. As we expected. Jorge can go away for awhile now after that bullshit last night
but the ufc just paid him a top 5 contract lol and people in here thought it was a good idea. he is 37, will be 38 this year and on a 3 fight losing streak where he didn’t look good in any of them. who does he fight next?
Makes no sense. I have no idea who he fights next. Leon assuming he loses to Usman? Another beating on the way.
Masvidal is a world class shit-talker and a great striker. He is garbage at everything else, but people love to watch those two things, so his ratings are high. He used the McGreggor/Diaz formula, and has made himself money. I fell asleep in the second round of this fight. Awful headliner.
Sorry, I was at a buddy’s house and forgot to post. I’m shocked at the amount of people in here who thought that fight would go any other way than a Colby decision though. I don’t think he wants any part of Chimaev. The Poirier fight makes sense. These ATT boys are writing checks their asses can’t cash. A lot of humble pie when Colby walks through DP as well. One other thing I find hilarious is how upset they get at Colby’s schtick when Lambert is literally playing the same character in AEW right now. Shut the fuck up with all this on sight bullshit. Colby is selling fights.
Is there a report or tweet thread on russias nuclear capability? Seems like that would be one of the best things to skim money on considering no one thinks they’ll ever actually be used and maybe at this point it’s been going on so long that the bombs won’t even work
I didn’t say anything about that. I was talking about ATT wanting to fight him in the streets. Don’t dbl me, I have too much of a hangover to fight back today.
Haha na didn't mean to insinuate you said that. Just saying there's selling fights and then saying the shit Colby has. Not just the racist shit, the "Daddy" shit to ATT guys. I get them hating him just like I get Khabib hating Connor for the shit he said. When you say this about a man's son, "And they get to know that I'm really Parker's daddy. It's not Dustin who's Parker's daddy.", that's beyond selling a fight. There's selling fights and then there's being a cunt and Colby is a cunt.
My only point is Dan Lambert is playing Colby’s character in AEW. Talking all kinds of shit about Cody Rhodes wife. I’m well aware it’s scripted and everybody is in on it, but it’s all performance art to sell tickets. For ATT to be so upset with Colby but excuse Lambert for doing the same thing, they’re working themselves into a shoot. Especially when they don’t have a 155/170er who can shut Colby up.
Ahh I don't follow AEW at all so can't really comment on that side of it. You don't think Dustin can beat Colby?
Dana giving a huge contract to Jorge and not Francis is hilariously dumb I’m still also laughing that he just invented the BMF belt and let Jorge fight an old Nate for it and then never brought it out again
You pointed out the giant different in the middle of your own post. One is FUCKING OBVIOUSLY SCRIPTED, the other is not (at least to our collective knowledge).
I think Colby crosses lines, but again, he’s saying the same things their fucking gym owner is saying. It’s silly for them to get irl mad at Colby when he and Lambert are doing the same schtick. Enjoy the extra dollars he’s putting in your pocket and be able to separate real life from the entertainment business.
