Fight Club - the thread for all things fighting
First rule of Fight Club... only talk about things combat sport related
Recap from the weekends card, how good was it? Overeem the can, can't stay focused long enough to see out the round that he was well a head on.. lol. This has certainly raised Travis Browne's credentials. Who is next for him Werdum?
Michael McDonald and Brad Pickett fight was also a great fight, Pickett has some heart! Good job my McDonald showing the maturity to slow the pace and finish him off next round.
Connor McGregor also another flashy start, shame about the injury.
Didn't watch Faber, the only fight of his I have enjoyed was against Aldo.
Looking forward to the next Fight Night card, Robert Whittaker Vs. Court Macgee should be a cracker. Not an easy fight for Whittaker.

John Wayne Parr Muay Thai superstar is currently over at Tristar (Montreal) training with GSP. Apparently invited over after failing to qualify for the next Australian Ultimate fighter season (link).
Interesting tactic by GSP, I understand he would want to keep some distance between himself and Hendricks to avoid that straight left, but constant kicking may a caught kick and a straight counter or at least see him on his back for sometime.
who are you liking for this fight?
Hard to look past GSP he is a proven winner. i would like to see him lose though. take some of that "legacy" pressure off and watch him open up and start finishing fights again.

Overeem is not a can. He had the fight won and let himself get caught. Twice in a row now. Browne is good. I actually tipped him in my tipping comp.
Mike Mac is awesome. So is Pickett. Great fight.
McGregor is super exciting.
I think Whittaker will be too fast for McGee.

GSP takes it. If Hendricks doesn't catch him in the first 45 seconds with the big left, it will be vintage GSP. Totally agree about him finishing fights, but he still dominates like no other. Hardly ever loses a round.

Huge shame. Would've loved to see him on The Ultimate Fighter. Speaking of The Ultimate Fighter i saw a promo for the new season. Looks interesting.

What a busy week next week is, two awesome Cards in 1 week.
Whittaker is alittle disrepectful with that stupid keeping the hand down crap in his last fight, even though he won try that again a season opponent and it will be lights out real quick. See what happened to Silva when he dropped his hands. I think court McGee at welterweight will be to much for him to handle. Also good to see Benny Alloway on the card as well.
I think Mcdonald will get Barao on the next one, pickett didn't fight bad but just couldn't answer what Mcdonald put out there. I would like Mcdonald to fight Faber next. I think Cruz should also be stripped of the belt you can't go on that long with an injury.
I am also looking forward to watching Kevin Gastelum at welterweight. He was the last pick on the TUF and ended up wining it and at welterweight he should be handful.
GSP v Hendrick as much as I like GSP and I can't bet against him I think he will get out wrestled it won't be a knockout but he will get beaten by a better wrestler. I hope not cause I want to see UFC sign up Ben Askren and let him fight GSP.
I am hoping Pettis gets Henderson.

The hands down tactic wasn't disrespectful, it was to help avoid takedowns, which is the only thing that Colton has. It was a very smart tactic, that worked brilliantly.
If McGee can get a hold and dirty box, the fight is his.

It didn't help Silva to put his hands down. It might have been a tactic that if he got tagged it would have been lights out. I still think Mcgee might get it, unless Whitaker can get in/ get out quick, Maybe the Tristar advantage might help him.

He won't use the same tactic against McGee. He could do it again Colt because he has zero stand up ability. Against McGee, he'll get ko'd if he keeps them low.Silva has used the hands down tactic for a long time. He just got way too.cocky and should not have tried it against someone who actually had a.stand up game.

I think the glass jaw has come about the same way Liddell's did. Accumulation of punches over the years. Some of his Pride wars were brutal, particularly with Shogun. The thing with heavyweights is that they hit so hard, pretty much anyone is going out with a solid shot, Big Country excluded.

ok, overeem may not be a can, he is overrated though. brownes win was more about how big his heart was than how shit overeem is
whittaker's hands down was to entice colton to strike and utilize his speed to counter imo. agreed if he does it against mcgee he will have his ass handed to him. loving this fight though, two of my favourite tuf contestants, i think mcgee takes the fight off experience and size. being the aussie though im rooting for whittaker, he will have his hands full though.
silva got caught, plain and simple. he was flat footed and ran out of room to slip the punches. praising weidmans stand up is a bit much, he wasnt scared to come forward and thats what earned him the knockout. weidmans ass will get handed to him in december, it will be silva vs. leben 2. for the record i am not a silva fan...
next week will be huge... also looking forward to see soa palelei vs nikita krylov. Wonder if soa will freeze like he did against sanchez and i've also heard a lot of hype behind krylov, curious if he is just another "M-1" fighter...
also looking forward to dylan andrews vs papy abedi, brad tavares vs bubba "pea heart" mcdaniels, gastelum at 170(will be a beast), cerrone vs dos anjos, mir vs barnett, varner vs tibau.... SOOOOO many good fights on paper hopefully they all deliver!!!

If you guys enjoy TUF, check out Bellator Fight Master. Highly entertaining and in a lot of ways, better than TUF. Although, Greg Jackson is annoying as **** .

his feelings towards robin givens and her mother would be something special... like a hallmark moment.
i really loved his thought process in the stare downs. once they broke eye contact with him, he felt invincible.

Couldn't agree more, I am not a fan of Greg Jackson, Winklejohn on the otherhand is complete opposite.

Winklejohn is a champion. During fights, I want to strangle Jackson with the way he tries to influence the judges.
