Stipe v Ngannou and Volkanovski v Ortega at UFC 260. Two good cards for March.

 

[Ciro_DiMarzio]

Didn’t see this one coming? Had this been talked about much or have I just completely missed it. Usually know when a fight is being made in the ufc especially one this big

It's only been talked about for about 3 month marra.

Nunes and Anderson in March as well.

I've heard he runs his own show nowadays when it comes to training camps, that's pretty much obvious already how he took a few Boxing kids from Crumlin to his base in Portugal. I don't even know why he needs the kids when he's got Lobov who's an animal in the striking game who's also a Southpaw and you got Johnny Walker recently joining the camp but when it comes to tactical instruction someone needs to be held responsible - Surely he's not daft enough to ignore the coach pre-fight talk?!

What would a pre fight talk do when you've been doing whatever you want for the past 3 months in camp? Nothing I'd imagine

Kavanagh is probably just the bjj coach and sorting out training locations etc

Aye, it’s part of the three title fights on UFC 259, with Yan v Sterling. Be some card that like, Nunes will do her within two rounds I reckon.

Aye I like Anderson but suspect the same. Just been looking through the upcoming cards and there are plenty I'm looking forward to.

Edgar Vs Sandhangen
Dariush vs Ferreira
Arlovski Vs Aspinall
Reyes Vs Prochazka
Edwards Vs Chimaev

Cant wait for the Miocic v Nganou fight.

Wonder if he will win this time hes a proper beast like. Both of them are its mad how much the sport has evolved.

Used to have Tim Sylvia as the UFC HW Champ.

A prime version of him would get demolished by the majority of HW roster.

Anderson reminds me of that Brit fighter, can't remember his name, Big Slow was his nickname. Lanky and awkward and as fast as a glacier. Nunes will kill her haha

If you want to see how much 1 person has progressed and how the sport is evolved, Amanda Nunes is probably the person.

She once upon a time got KO'd by Cat Zigano, since then she's KO'd Cyborb, Rousey and Holm in 1, submitted Tate in 1 and done the double over Shevchenko and not one person is remotely close to her, it's actually mad how far she's gone.

Was at the UFC dowm manchester when he fought Henderson

Ill.never forget it. Id probably.class it as the best sporting event ive ever been to. Atmosphere was unreal

 

[Ciro_DiMarzio]

Aye. I did have to Google which series he was on. He is still fighting but loses more than he wins.

 

[coyneeee]

Jake Paul fighting Ben Askren in a boxing match ffs.

Smart guy Jake fighting someone who has zero stand up.

Awful. I think he might actually KO Askren.

When all this shit started I used to always winge about the YouTubers calling out legitimate fighters but I’m just as sick of the pros for entertaining them now.
