Yep really hope Lawler does it. Respect Woodly too, he's a tough fuker. Reckon he'll smash the other lad.

[mickO)))]

All fair points. I think the hand break issue is exactly why gloves should be taken away. I know it won't happen but it would make for compelling viewing. I love old Bas rutten fights, pancrase, all that stuff. Headbutts should def be allowed. I think the current rules definitely favour wrestlers and ground and pound. Would be great to see that reversed somewhat.

Yep UFC fight pass is one of the most fairly priced subscriptions I have ever had all the Pride, pancrase, UFC and loads of other things most of have never even heard of. I remember seeing an interview with Bas he said the UFC tried to get him for a long time before he joined but he thought the UFC was too dangerous so he kept putting off signing a contract with them. Have seen it mentioned in a few interviews and I definitely think making headbutts illegal was the downfall of Mark Coleman before Maurice Smith beat him he looked unstoppable.


Can't wait for Saturday will be interesting to see how Askren fares haven't seen him fight before but he seems to have a big reputation. Will be rotting for Jonny Bones in the main event can't wait to see him in action again.

Good to see Sky has Bellator now. Going through my first free month of Dazn now and while it's great getting all the Bellator prelimns I don't think ill be keeping the subscription because Bellator and some of the boxing is all I would watch on it.

All of the UFC and Bellator has been very disappointing so far this year so hoping for big things on Saturday night.

The fuckin look Lawler gave after that ass slap... he was fucking PISSED. Askren got an achievement notification after that...

"CONGRATULATION - YOU HAVE UNLOCKED 3 ROUND ROBBIE LAWLER #FYL" 

Damn I hope Robbie fucks his world up

[DeletedUsermNqGIiIuGy]

Christ I'm so fucking bothered over that fight...

[DeletedUsermNqGIiIuGy]

WTF is going on tonight :O

UFC 235 Spoilers below

Sanchez V Gall - Gall had nothing on him at all. I'm guessing they put Gall (5-2) against a long timers like Sanchez (29-11) to see if Gall could get the win and push himself up but he looked totally out his dept in that fight.

Walker V Cirkunov - 36 seconds! And then the dope goes and fucks his shoulder up trying to do that snake roll thing.. MORTO!

Stephens V Zabit - Stephens won that, really surprised the judges gave it to Zabit or did they just get impressed for his attempt at the pettis cage kick.

Garbrandt V Munhoz - I think they should call him Cody 'no learn' Garbrandt from now on. He's just become so well known for being too  emotional in the ring and BANG.. again he gets taken out again. 3 fights in a row he's been KO/TKO'd within 1-2 rounds for similar shit.

Torres V Zhang - Was actually a good fight, Zhang seemed so strong in their but Torres really took it o her and ripped her down well. Honestly though Torres won that.

Lawler V Askren - WHAT THE ACTUAL FUUUUUCK. I was screaming at the tv at like 5am! What an absolute shit show. Robbie was fucking destroying him. He was getting out of the clenches etc and slamming Askren around like a rag doll. He would have gotten out of that position 110% but NOPE.. in comes Herb and 'oh hey can you talk to me and let me know you are OK while the other guy has his arm across you chin.. oh your hand went a bit limp... HE'S DONE U GUYZ'.
So pissed over that and Askren fucking ran from it fast, immediately 'oh im just here to fight, im not the referee'. His streak was done if it hadn't been for that shit stoppage. I will say when you look at the live footage robbies arm goes limp but it was just after he took it down from the cage so you might think he was out.. but ffs every other part of him was still going. Agggh so pissed.
Askren saying he doesn't want to fight him again... no shit you don't.

Woodley V Usman - Just WOW  Was not expecting that at all. TBH at the start when Tyron was coming in and waiting for the fight to start, he didn't look as 'determined/focused' as he looked in previous fights like with Till.
But he pretty much dominated the whole thing. By round 3 Woodly just looked like he had nothing left whatsoever like all his confidence was left and he was just trying to survive. Really amazed by that fight.
*Ref Mark G was standing them up so much though even the commentators were like wtf is he doing.
But even when he did Usman was up and walking straight for Woodley like a psycho ex girlfriend.. he was on him like a bad rash. Crazy

Jones V Smith - Fair fucks to Smith, he powered through a lot of shit. Got a bit boring towards the end but Jones just had him. Jones had something like a 12 inch reach advantage which is just mental!

[DeletedUsermNqGIiIuGy]

Just to add... I wonder if Woodley is going to go down the Stipe route now and just get left to the side giving all the shit between him and Dana

[ldj]

Only caught the two title fights, Robbie/Askren and Cody/Munhoz fights.

Two title fights were kinda boring, I feel like Jones took it easy on Smith.

Wasn't expecting Woodley to get outwrestled like that either, before this fight I'm pretty sure he was tied for highest takedown defense percentage with Jones.

Felt bad for Robbie there, that suplex he hit on Askren was badass, tbh, if it had been stopped during that ground n pound it would have been less controversial than the actual stoppage, Askren went limp a couple of times during it.

I'm not a fan of Cody but I felt bad that the fight went down hill for him after the clash of heads, seems like it pissed him off and he threw all game plan out the window. Three straight KO losses for a young fighter is pretty bad too. It was a great fight while it lasted though.

I actually fell asleep after R3 ended in Jones V Smith fight and woke up start of R5   

Regarding Cody, he doesn't look like he's learning from his losses. That's 3 in a row where he's gotten 'emotional' and gotten KO/TKO'd.
He's going to continue that streak until he learns to handle the fight better. You see what he's like when he's full of confidence like the in the Dominick Cruz fight. Clean, Smooth and on point with all his shots.  It's like as soon as he takes some shots or it gets difficult he drops his game plan and starts swinging.

[Circlepit]

Sanchez put the young pup back in his box!!
Walker looks like he will be a force but need to see him take a few slaps first.
I wanted to tear my hair out during the Robbie fight. Askren was all but dead yet he let him take more wallops. Retarded stoppage.
Woodley can go shite. He was outclassed and Godard just seemed like he wanted them to leather each other.
Jones.... away and shite too.
Garbrant is throwing his career away. Simple as that. 

[mickO)))]

Finally the years first good event.

Fair play to Ben Askren even though the win was controversial he worked a miracle coming back from that slam and hiding he got at the beginning of the fight. I love the way he keeps giving Dana White shit now at every opportunity.
Ben only got $3500 for that fight.
Glad to see that gimp Mickey Gall get a hiding I can't stand him and apparently now Sanchez is saying that Gall bit him during the fight.
Johnny Walker looks promising but my god is he a retard he's not funny at all and seems to think he is.
Woodley was very disappointing.
Jonny Bones did the job convincingly as expected who even has a chance of beating this man? Fair play to Smith for giving it a good shot and not taking the easy way out after the knee. He won me over after that fight.

[DeletedUsermNqGIiIuGy]

Oh god, just had the best mma related experience ever. I really wished I'd recorded it.

Girl I live with had a friend over, guy in his 30's.. never seen MMA just heard all the stuff about mcgregor, mayweather and what not but never actually sat and watch any fight.
He said he'd like to may get into watching it as it sounded cool etc .. so I asked him if he wanted to check out a fight while he's here. He's all for it so I bring him up to my room to watch.

Not putting on any conor ones or the likes... stick on the Robbie Lawlor V Rory McDonald fight.. 

20mins of WTF.... WTF... WHY THE FUCK IS THIS ALLOWED... HE'D FUCKING DYING.. STOP!!  OMG HIS LIP... HIS FACE!!!!!

Safe to say he's not gona delve any further into MMA 

[DeletedUsermNqGIiIuGy]

Only saw the headline fight but safe to say Masvidal is a stud. Thought he was gone after that knock down but he came back and just laughed Till into another planet 

Also that fight  backstage with him and leon edwards, he lit Edwards up for talking shit   

"yeah i had to give him the 3 piece and soda, then glide off" 

[Circlepit]

Till got blasted big time. He popped Masidval but to no avail. Where does Till go now? Prelims soon I'd say.
That backstage slapping was like a big fuck off th shit talking.
Gunnar Nelson can't seem to get a string of wins together.

[DeletedUsermNqGIiIuGy]

With Till I don't know, I wonder if they will look at moving him up a weight class. I mean the wonderboy fight was the first time in a long time he cut cleanly and there was talks even from him about moving. But like a number of fighters he knows the advantage he has fighting in that class so not surprised he's staying. Wanting to hold on to that win streak.
I don't think he'll be gettin bumped to prelims just yet. as out of 20 fights, he has 17wins , 1 draw and the last two were losses. 1 was to the champ Woodley hows a fucking bheast and then this one to masvidal. All the recent trash talk he started doing to get a fight was just silly and he looks even worse now for losing like that, if he's hitting the brick wall now progression wise then he will need to make some changes in order to contend with the others and learn he can't just overpower people.

Yeah I didn't see that fight but 3 out of his 4 losses are decision losses but yeah, it seems hes up, down, up for the last 5 years. He seems to be stuck down the chain
