UFC196 would be known as the night of the subs lol.. Near naked choke from behind for 2 unexpected outcomes. Those were 2 Amazing fights.

Tate and Diaz too strong with their BJJ!

I wonder what this means for Holly now, will there be a rematch or would Ronda be back to try and take the title back? My bet is on the future pr0n star to win on either count :)

Mcgregor surely will now have to go back to featherweight and defend his title against Edgar.
 
Yeah he did look a bit reckless in that fight. He was trying too hard to get a KO in!

Now I feel bad for Holly lol, she did so well in those earlier rounds just slipped up with trying to throw Miesha off at the last second.
 
McGregor turned it into a Boxing bout, and I say McGregor turned it into a Boxing bout. He had Diaz backpedalling the entire Fight but still chose to Box. He had every opportunity in the World to kick yet didn't. You don't Box with a Diaz.

You reckon McGregor was scared of Diaz's BJJ so didn't want to risk kicking. McGregor's training partner lost the Ultimate Fighter Finale by sub. You reckon their camp isn't confident in their BJJ. McGregor spoke about energy after the Fight. I wonder if he didn't have the energy to kick, and his footwork wasn't there either.


Check out Holm's entrance music. Isn't it that dancer Flatley's music. Get them feet moving. Dance baby dance!

i know this is hard for an ignoramus to understand, but money isnt everything, especialy when it comes to peoples ego and pride. ronda admitted to being suicidal aftet her loss, surely the money should of made her the happiest person on earth?

Says the gold digger himself.

mcgregor isn't Ronda. Did you even listen to the post fight interviews. Connor is fine, great head on his shoulders. Your dick comment about the 145lb champ to go back to tarring driveways because he lost a 170lb fight. He took a risk, good on him. Does bagging him make you feel better about your own mediocre life?

Ronda wasn't the richest person on earth if you are trying to make the stupid comparison of money to happiness.

Keep trying.

another mindless response from you that makes little sense.

Come on do better than that. you just hate on people like Connor because they have achieved something, it makes the pathetic feel better about their lives. Then try and bag me by saying i don't make sense but can't actually pinpoint what I said wrong.
 
What are people's thoughts. I think if Ronda fights Tate I would be supposed if Tate could win especially if she takes her into deeper rounds. Rondas confidence is likely not great anymore and Tate has learnt from each fight against her.

Holm v Ronda. If Rondas coach isn't as stupid as everyone expects he might be they should have a much different game plan than last time. If Ronda waits for the opportunity and gets her down its all over.

Maybe still to commenting on something you actually follow. Connor is a showman and a fight promoter and very good at it. He has been very respectful to his opponents after the fight including this one. He plays the game to build hype for fights. Even casual MMA fans have worked this out. Try again.

the funny thing is this has all been great for the 135 women's division. Before it was dull with Ronda beating everyone now there are some proper challangers and rivalries but all you hear from the nuff nuff brigade is Dana is going to be upset.
 
Haven't checked this thread in weeks as I had to catch up on some events.

I know the English are basically convicts, but damn, there was a robbery that night Silva fought. I would have given Bisping round 2 and Silvia every other round. Possibly a 10-8 in rounds 3 or 5. Almost as bad as the Dominic Cruz robbery.

I wasn't expecting Tate to win. No doubt she had the better ground game, but I assumed Holly would be too quick to allow it to go there. Massive hole exposed in her ground game. Imagine if Ronda could have gotten a hold of her instead of trying to prove a point with her boxing. It would have been funny if Tate pulled off an arm bar. I don't think it's a good idea to put Tate against Ronda again. So many other fights to make first. Give her Nunes who fought on the same card.

The MacGregor fight went as expected. MacGregor was put in an awkward spot to save the card. He had to fight someone, but a 170 fighter is just too much. Especially Diaz who is a small 170er. The stand up was always going to be close, but the ground game was going to be Diaz all day. Submissions are Diaz' strong point and MacGregor's weak point. Mendes was even able to hold him there without a training camp.

Diaz isn't a 170 pounder. He doesn't even weigh 170 in between fights.

I also wonder if McGregor's competitive personality prompted him to Box with Diaz. Now Diaz is claiming he's the true 145lb Champion. Kunt just wants another pay check at 145 or 155.

Wonder if Nick could cut to 155. That would be great, Nick Diaz versus McGregor, also Nick might be washed up.

Could be an elimator between Rousey and Holm to see who fights Tate. I wouldn't be surprised if Holm beats Rousey again but Rousey beats Tate. Style makes fights.

Rousey did make a name for herself fighting a lot of second rate fighters. The UFC hyped the shit out of her.

You can't just shoot in or bum rush a Sprawl n Brawl/Boxer though. Rousey had to throw with her before her chance to get in came.
 
I missed this. Check out the first 30 seconds of UFC 196 Embedded Ep 5. Nick Diaz tells Nate just before the UFC 196 Face Off "that fucker even touches you, its on. Don't even wait!". What does Conor do. He hits Nate's hand.




Good on yah Nick! :)

A lot of her opponents were Part Timers. They had to hold down 9-5 jobs while Rousey trained Full Time.
