Generations Posted February 11, 2019 Report Share Posted February 11, 2019 The main event on Saturday was a ton of fun to watch. Wish it was 5 rounds. Yeah. I loved it. And I hated reading all the comments online about it being boring or underwhelming. Like...what the *Censored* were people watching? Not the same fight I saw. Guess there wasn't enough dick-swinging, disrespect, or blood for some "fans". One of my favorite fights in a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Generations Posted February 15, 2019 Report Share Posted February 15, 2019 I'm going with Daley in the Bellator fight. Flashy KO's vs small names, and theatrical antics do not a proven-fighter make. MVP probably goes for an unnecessarily flashy spin attack, and gets hit with Daley's bomb of a left hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Generations Posted February 17, 2019 Report Share Posted February 17, 2019 So...that went about as I expected. MVP got clowned, and basically got exposed for what he is. Fight could have gone either way...and that's pretty telling in itself. Story of the fight was Daley trying to stay out of the range of Page's long limbs...but if he pushed a little harder, he could have taken it. MVP is probably the biggest example of "all flash, no substance" that I've ever seen. And it's especially funny that some of the same people who talk shit about McGregor can sit there and praise MVP...because McGregor is definitely a more rounded athlete in every sense.

Generations Posted April 2, 2019 Report Share Posted April 2, 2019 MMA is severely lacking in young talents these days...and it's not for a lack of talented athletes (I know it isn't). But, for real...I'm tired of the only MMA news being about dudes who are past their primes. It hurts the entire industry to force "big names" into the spotlight just to make money. A guy like Josh Barnett ain't worth shit in 2019. And it's not just him. It's...all of it. It's the Bellator tournaments with a bunch of washed up has-beens, it's UFC ignoring their rankings to reward whoever they want...it's all of it. There are great young fighters on every side of the globe, I just wish we could start seeing them where they belong. We're getting lower quality fights, and paying more for it with shit like Fight Pass and ESPN+ I started watching stuff like Sumo and Muai Thai just for a palette cleanser...for something "real".

Lunchbox Posted April 2, 2019 Report Share Posted April 2, 2019 Think Zuffa selling to WME was the writing on the wall that the promotion peaked, Joe Silva quickly saw the writing on the wall that the company wants fights with exciting feuds and not logical matches due to rankings and that was the end of quality build up of younger talent. Now they just thrust young and exciting talent towards stardom and they lose a fight quickly and fall back down the card to never recover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Generations Posted May 10, 2019 Report Share Posted May 10, 2019 From the look of that dude, someones moms basement. Nah...a beef plant, actually. And he's not as hopeless looking as the last guy. Here's a better picture of his overall size: Anyway...this is how someone should break into MMA. Whether these people are below Jack or not, he's doing it the right way. Only difference is, a major company like Bellator is willing to book this, rather than a random indy fed (which would be the normal way of coming up). Props on Jack for grinding through the nobodies before he tries to pick a fight with even the bottom tier of somebodies. I really have to assume that he'll have an opponent with at least something of a name or image after this fight. There'd be no reason for him not to.

Generations Posted May 11, 2019 Report Share Posted May 11, 2019 Dammit...why does Andrade giving Thug Rose an actual rose have to be so adorable? Was that meant to be a mind game or a death threat? I don't even know what I just saw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lunchbox Posted June 9, 2019 Report Share Posted June 9, 2019 Watching Donald Cerrone blow his nose was so wild. And that head kick KO in the co main was so vicious i just sat in silence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Generations Posted June 10, 2019 Report Share Posted June 10, 2019 I don't like Cerrone (for political reasons)...so, I was happy to see him get demolished. I kinda feel like he blew his nose intentionally, to try to get the fight inked down as a no-contest. He even asked them to review the final punch at the buzzer because he said he got punched in the eye. Yeah...the buzzer punch was a shame...but, no one ever thought he got punched in the eye. I think he knew he was done, and he thought he could get the fight thrown out by making his eye look like shit. A calculated risk that definitely didn't pay off. Btw, what exactly are the rules for strikes at the buzzer/horn? Because, they always say "protect yourself at all times"...and I kinda feel like those strikes should have the exact window of the end of the horn. If the horn is still blowing, I think that should be legal...even if the punch was thrown when the horn was clearly heard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lunchbox Posted June 10, 2019 Report Share Posted June 10, 2019 Honestly i blame the ref on that one, usually they get in closer to the action around the 10 second mark and get in between as the buzzer sounds, dude was nowhere near them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lunchbox Posted August 3, 2019 Report Share Posted August 3, 2019 Shes not wrong in how Dana treated her during he run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Generations Posted August 3, 2019 Report Share Posted August 3, 2019 I'm not even a Cyborg fan...but, this is classic "you aren't worth as much to us as you think you are, and we're going to bully you into a lower spot on the card". Dana and UFC do that shit constantly, and it's one of the biggest problems with the product these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lunchbox Posted August 3, 2019 Report Share Posted August 3, 2019 He was saying she was scared of Nunes minutes after she said she wanted a rematch with her its mindboggling. Dana is a huge reason why i don't follow the sport the way i use to. The shit he pulled with Helwani put such a bad taste in my mouth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Generations Posted August 3, 2019 Report Share Posted August 3, 2019 All the mma media keeps reporting that Colby "dominated" Lawler...but that fight was honestly sketchy as *Censored* in my opinion. Lawler didn't appear to want a finish. There were entire rounds where he was showing the technical ability to shrug off everything Colby threw, and he never attempted to capitalize off any of it. Came off as very odd to me. I'm not even a conspiracy guy when it comes to fights...but I'm leaning towards a fix here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
