There have been a couple of cracking fights thus far. Who do you have for this weekend between Cory and TJ? TJ has ALOT to lose if he doesn't perform here coming back from the doping ban. That said Cory has a super opportunity to shine for the boss man Dana. As we saw with Kris "the punching bag" Moutinho(LOL), fight of the night can change your world in minutes. That hunger may just give him the edge over TJ. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got Cory all the way. His last 2 fights against Marlon Moraes and Frank Edgar was exceptional. He has the full arsenal of MMA skills to challenge for the title. His loss against Sterling taught him a lot. But then again who can put up a fight against Yan and expect to win (except if he disqualifies himself. Lol) 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm very keen on the rematch. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couldn't believe Team Ortega got 4-0 to start with, I'm also surprised how little they talk about the couches. I think I heard Craig Jones say maybe 2 lines worth or words I'd also like to hear what the other couches are about, but alas. So far I'm enjoying it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So far I've managed to do a max of 4 of the possible 5 sessions a week available to me. I am aiming to do 5 sessions this week but we will see how it goes listening to the body and taking a session off when needed has been a necessary lesson. I am busy nursing a sprained foot, sprained thumb and bruised tail bone working around that during training makes you think a lot more about where you're open and absolutely preventing certain positions for your self to avoid further injury to the same area. Some days I murder dudes, some days I get railroaded. It's the motion of the ocean which makes things feel very fair in general. At no-gi I've learnt a lot of submissions and leg lock play, where-as at gi (which I am coming up to about a month of training now) we haven't technically learnt any submissions yet.. so sometimes I'll whip out some submissions at gi which technically none of the other white belts on my level have learnt yet. They mostly just go for rear naked chokes in the rare event they can get to my back. Sometimes they comment that I'm using hacks, it does feel like a cheeky advantage but hey We are generally told to roll with guys on our levels but there is an open invitation during live/technical rolling at the end of class usually to roll with anyone you want. I got paired with a blue belt once and it felt like I didn't know anything, he just rag dolled me and I just ended up defending the whole roll. The biggest improvement thus far has just been the fitness. In the beginning I'd tap just because a dude was putting pressure on my chest while I was already exhausted. That hasn't happened again in a good month or so now. Since working from home full-time having the gyms to go to on the regular has really been great. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coach would line the whole gym up in front of you and have each one of them kick and punch you to build your core and legs. I would go home looking like I was beat up after every practice. Cut lips, bruised legs and body pains for days at a time. I gave it up as it made me a generally agro person, which was the opposite of what I planned to achieve there. Good memories though! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, I remember punching our instructor in the gut as hard as I could and he just laughed. Went so hard landed up cracking a bone in my hand, after that I was like fuck this.

Ill_Evan Posted December 12, 2021 Share Posted December 12, 2021 Holy moly these last two UFC events were great! Usman and Rose keeping their titles, although going to the decisions was subpar. This last UFC was just a knockout/submission fest, very cool very yes! @The Grass BaasI've changed my mind of Sean O'Malley. I support the man now. Pena beating Nunes with an odds rating of +1000 fok me. Lastly that crazy RNC by Oliviera, wow wow. Dustin isn't bad at jitsu and got taken like that nuts 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Grass Baas Posted December 12, 2021 Share Posted December 12, 2021 @Ill_Evan duuuuuuuuuude!!! The SugaShow!!!!!!!!! I think I have been watching him since he came into the UFC after the DWCS. Super entertaining guy. I love the karate style guys. I couldnt believe Pena beat the lioness. Absolute madness. That means the guy that bet $300k on Nunes winning is pissed off. But serves him right. Betting $300k to make a measly $20k, he deserves it. Lol. I am super sad for Dustin but Charles is really good. He took a beating and still made it. Just like he did with Chandler. And the Whitman fest was unbelievable. I have been dreaming for a Whitman triple banger and man did we get it. Once again Justin Gaethje was an absolute monster. Even though that went to a decision it was crazy crazy crazy. What a way to end off the year. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marzcanna Posted December 13, 2021 Share Posted December 13, 2021 (edited) unfortunately I missed Charles and Dustin's fight, but im sure it must of been war, my money was always on Charles tho, the dude has been very impressive in his last fights and hes showing everyone exactly why hes the one holding the belt, the dude is a master at coming up with something crazy (usally a submission from no where) if not that than he ll pull out a crazy strike to knock you out, hes very unpredictable & that makes a fighter very dangerous in my opinion Edited December 14, 2021 by Marzcanna 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Figueredo has never been this on point with his weight cut as well and he looks hungry to get the title back. Could swing either with both fights but I second your call. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both matchups are very good, each fight will represent the best of each fighter at this time. I do not doubt both Gane and Figueredo both have more than enough to take their respective opponents, they are both hungry. I just think that Gane and the mind games with regards to his couch (whom is Ngannou's former couch) releasing those sparring videos of the two, and then Figueredo coming in really agro and with a bone to pick. I think Ngannou and Moreno are mentally at an advantage here, they are both way more chill coming into the fight. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
