Oh man, McGregor vs Gaethje would be a stylistically fantastic match up. As well as against Masvidal who, however, is not going to forget and ignore his wrestling skills.
Usman is way too big and I don’t really see, right now, someone able to handle him.
(From tomorrow on: special shoulder bump hits seminar in every gym in the world ��)

All these casuals don't know Jones was doing shoulder bumps years before Conor made his UFC debut...

Had to lol at Roxi smashing Maycee. Even without the injury in the 2nd Roxi was beating her up. Maycee was hyped up wayyy to much beforehand (she hadn't fought anyone of note). Good for her to get her first loss out of the way now. You lose, you learn etc.

Greene put up a good fight against old man Oleinik. Wish he put more energy into getting up rather than trying to sub him, that was never gonna happen.

Sadiq sorta coasted in the final round against Fili, but a good result nonetheless. Nigeria going strong.

How dumb was Rocky against Holm, ay? Holm fought smart once she realised Rocky had nothing for her in the clinch against the cage, but for some reason Rocky kept initiated clinch exchanges (and holding them with her underhook). Towards the end of the final round she started to break them and hit Holm with some knees and uppercuts, but I really don't know why she just didn't do that earlier. So dumb.

Finally, good shit by Carlos. That's all.

A bunch of people have shoulder-bumped before but nobody not even Jones has tried to use it as an offensive weapon in the middle of the octagon.

And yeh, I can't believe the ref didn't separate them more

Usman did they shoulder strikes against woodley also, but damn Conor had some speed on them, to be honest he looked pretty decent all round, I thought cowboy would go for the clinch and try mauy Thai style to beat Conor, but we all saw how that turned out..



Was a pretty cool card, my multi's really didn't work out though lol.






Also poor Pettis, he's just like.... Not good enough anymore man sadly. Everyone just seems to be better, even his win against Wonderboy he was getting smoked. But I feel bad for him he seems pretty cool, and it will be a hard pill for him to have to swallow

Sure he has...




And eh, Holm was staying active enough I thought. Onus was on Rocky to do something, but all she did (for most of the time) was hold Holm with that underhook. Some srsly dumb shit. Really wanted her to get punished for being so dumb, but I guess losing like that is justice enough.

@Jobo - Did Roxi ruin your multis? That musta sucked. And yeah, don't really know what Pettis does now ay. Where's he go from here? Unlikely he'll ever make it to title contention again, so what's he fighting for now? Mrmm.

the king is back

Na maycee wasn't in my multis I wasn't really on the hype train but damn she got smashed. Roxanne did awesome. Pettis actually ruined my multi's, for some reason even tho I didn't think he would win I put him in all of them... I blame hangover and underdog

Maurice did very well aswell I would be super triggered if I was him. I think he just needs to get a bit better distance control and lighter on the feet and he will be a big problem

Actually one multi I didn't have Pettis in that I was one off getting had kelleher losing

I really hope Conor fights either Gaetje if he is going for lightweight title, or fights masvidal if he is going for the welterweight. If he does a Nate trilogy I'll be disappointed

Yeh, I stand corrected. I watched Luke Thomas' recap where he showed other examples too, including some dude breaking someone's jaw with one (or that might have been from another video. I've watched a lot of shit about the Conor Cowboy fight because I'm a shameless fanboy).

I still think it's the most impressive example of their use though, he broke his nose and fractured his orbital. Yikes.

Yeah, it was pretty dope ay. You see that video someone released of Conor training shoulder strikes from years ago? Looks like he's had that up his sleeve for a while.

Also, know any good YouTube MMA commentators I might not have heard? Some of the less popular guys?

Jack Slack is great, so great that I even give him a few dollars a month on Patreon. He's got a whole bunch of history podcasts on boxing and MMA for his Pateron subscribers as well. Take a look. If you're interested in any of those titles I can PM you some links (just sent you two regardless).
