I'm for McGregor pero I kinda liked Nate to win...
1-4 McGregor
2-3 Nate
Rd 5 close but Nate landed a nice elbow, dirty boxing and takedown, I guess those 2 or 3 knockdowns gave the fight for McGregor.

I just read that BJ Penn suffered an injury. He pulled out from Fight Night Manila.
sana yang album na hawak mo ay hindi pirata, mahirap ata mag-isip at magpuyat ng ilang araw at parang kang may karay-karay na buntong-hiningang hindi matuloy-tuloy

Yup, which overall, is good for BJ Penn. Because Ricardo Lamas would have mauled BJ.adams_song182 wrote:I just read that BJ Penn suffered an injury. He pulled out from Fight Night Manila.
I just checked the main card and the card overall, and it's pretty garbage.

So the ufc fight next week was cancelled, not just because BJ Penn pulled out of the figt, but the government was going to drug test all UFC fighters and staff. If anybody popped positive, their passports would be taken by the government. UFC thought it would be prudent to just cancel the event.
The card was gabage anyway, but the government's treatment of this entire thing was ridiculous.

Two-weight world champ! Officially the GOAT! Nobody has done what he's done to Eddie and Aldo! This guy would have destroyed Dos Anjos, and after Khabib's performance last night, I don't doubt that Conor can knock Khabib out in the first.

Indeed, Conor. Indeed.

ronda is still one of the best female MMA fighters out there.. and kaya pa bumalik sa top ulit just focus sa strengths niya which is her ground game.. striking should only be "supplementary" and wag ng ipilit masterin pa.. and yep nothing changes.. floyd will beat ronda and even mcpussy in a boxing match.. but he'll get killed by them in a MMA match..
sana maging active si ronda this year and ma reclaim ang title by the end of the year..

boxing movement talaga weakness niya...dati pa kapag nakipag-trade siya ng punches walang galaw ang ulo niya up straight lang. Sa tulad ni Nunes na heavy striker and excellent sa boxing ganun talaga kalalabasan. Tumayo lang siya sa harapan, walang step back or head movement man lang.
change the trainer...at least improve the boxing movement para sa start up makaporma siya sa pag-iwas. Nasa kanya na yan kung willing siya, para makabawi man lang siya ng panalo.

Cody Garbrandt was super impressive against Cruz. That was a performance I would have never expected out of him and we saw dimensions to his game that we never saw before. I thought Cruz allowed himself to get drawn into Cody's counter punches too much and was willing to exchange more than he should have, but for sure he'll come back stronger. I think Cruz should take on the winner of Rivera and Caraway while TJ and Cody fight for the belt. That was a great fight, and I thought Cruz was done in the fourth for sure.
Also, nothing really shocking with Ronda's performance. I picked Amanda to win by TKO just because Edmund is a trash trainer (what he did to Travis Browne's movement and clearly Ronda's lack of evolution and improvement is proof of this). As soon as Ronda got hit with the first stiff jab and didn't move her head whatsoever, the outcome was decided. I noticed this in the second Tate fight, which I knew was going to be to her downfall, she will willingly eat strikes just so she can get a hold of you, and against great strikers and power punchers, it's not going to work. Meisha even rocked Ronda significantly in their second fight, before she foolishly attempted to clinch and wrestle with Ronda.
Anyway, I think she's done unless she switches camps. She needs to round out her striking game because the blueprint on how to beat here out there. Just maintain range, avoid grappling and clinch exchanges, and wait til she cracks. I think Ronda can still beat fighters like Juliana Pena, and Rocky Pennington, but would get eaten by fighters like Schevchenko, and maybe Zingano even in a rematch.
