Re: MMA Thread II

Post by tlombard »

I forgot the guy's name but apparently a couple of weeks ago a guy from St. Charles was slated to be the victim of the young MMA phenom that Bellator is promoting at Madison Square Garden... and beat him in 24 seconds or something like that. Suck it phenom!!! I love it when the patsy doesn't play along and the golden child takes a beating.

That being said, the commentary I ran across all seemed to agree that the guy from St. Charles was a horrible decision on opponent for the 20 year old kid in his first professional fight so maybe the kid won't be a complete bust. The bits I saw all seem to think that it was really stupid to put the kid up against an experienced guy with 10 professional fights for his first bout. Probably something to that.

Speaking of StL MMA, Tyron Woodley is defending the belt at UFC 214 now. Jones-Cormier 2 for the LHW belt, Woodley-Maia for the WW belt, CYBORG fighting someone who's name doesn't matter because they're about to have their soul ripped from their body, two of the ultimate gamers in Lawler-Cerrone, and Manuwa-Oezdemir is an absolutely stacked card.

Jones over Cormier - Decision
Woodley over Maia - TKO
Cyborg over Evinger - TKO
Cerrone over Lawler - Decision
Manuwa over Oezdemir - TKO

Not too many examples of wasted talent that top this. It's really too bad because he is fun to watch.
