Umm, Poirier is a BJJ black belt.

Dustin gave it a go and made Khabib feel a right hand.  But honestly, that's about as close as I can see anyone getting to Khabib right now.  His wrestling is from another planet.

The man is the best I've seen. Nobody, not Barbosa, not Conor, not Dustin P. has even given him a test. Pure dominance. 

The way he rocked out of that guillotine was textbook perfection. No panic at all just technique and strength. The Jordan of MMA grappling. 

Dustin is beating himself up but there wasn't much he could do outside of catching him with a one hitter before he could get him against the cage. That guillotine was slick as hell and against most anyone it's over there.

Yeah not all BJJ black belts are equal obviously. Tony is 10th planet, plus he's got an actual wrestling background. He also isn't a cardiolet like pea head and cokehead Conor. Tony is also as unorthodox as it gets. Khabib destroys guys who try to use the standard striking and standard takedown defense. Tony throws crazy everything and will literally summersault to avoid a take down. 

[TexArcher 39074]

Yeah, Tony's a badass.  

I'm just saying, Dustin IS a legit BJJ guy.  

And Khabib doesn't make mistakes for anyone to capitalize on.  He's not my favorite fighter to watch by a long way, but he's really impressive.  He just crushes top level guys.

[52-80 19377]

khabibs fights are copy & paste because its so goddamn easy for him, and nobody can solve it.  and im not sure when anyone can ever solve it while hes still fighting..

Agreed, just saying, Tony has won 12 strait in UFC. Khabib has won 12 strait in UFC. Let's see em fight.

Yep. Hope Cowboy hits em with the 10 hit combo and KOs em though.

[JohnnyRage 1617]

@Zavalaare you able to capture that front flip reversal on a rear naked w/ body lock by Skelly on Griffin in the second round?

i thought louis smolka got cut by the ufc

[Zavala 1384]

Yeah that's the first time I've seen that. It seems like a great idea but man the headbutt risk is high. 

I've got two games on and 3rd smaller screen playing UFC. Saturdays have been extra comfy with CFB and MMA. 

Who ya rooting for in the main card?

That was poor, Cowboy. 

[Scraps 13809]

Lol both fighters mad at ref....one for good reason the other has no clue why hes mad

[52-80 19377]

atta boy homer simpson

[JohnnyRage 1617]

It’s the fighters job to finish till the ref calls it...even if it’s against your friend. His multiple attempts at anticipating the stoppage, made it worse.

[Zavala 1384]

Wow maybe Cowboy is CTE'ed and Gaycheese can fuck with Khabib if Tony loses. Wild.

Texas kickoff vs. West Virginia @ 2:30

 

UFC 243: Whittaker vs. Adesanya  @ 9:00

 

[TexArcher 39074]

Gonna be a good day, Tater.

[youdunnf'dup 2147]

I can’t wait for this fight. I’ve been looking forward to it as much as any fight all year.

And for those who care:

The marquee matchup for the evening will pit the UFC’s middleweight king, Robert Whittaker, against the surging interim champ, Israel Adesanya. At first, Whittaker opened up with a favored line of -150, with Adesanya starting out his betting life as a +120 underdog. Since then, the betting public bit on the plus line for Adesanya, sending his mark into the favored realm. He is now an option at -115. As for Whittaker, the wagers on his opponent dropped his moneyline to a less favored landing of -105.

 

[JohnnyRage 1617]

I’m not super familiar with Whittaker,  but he’s super impressed me in both of his Yoel fights, even  persevering through a compromise knee.  I think he has the better fighter, but I will be rooting hard for Israel.  Losing wouldn’t be the worst thing to happen to him.

 If I had ESPN plus, I would be willing to pay for this one. 

[JohnnyRage 1617]

The weigh-in stare down for this first prelim fight looked interesting.

That last chin shot with both fighters on their knees.

Pitolo throws pretty combinations, but he better get those hands up. He keeps eating that left hook
