Ngannou is just dumb

by Arquitecto Sun May 10, 2020 4:36 am

Ngannou is rather overrated given he is based around his one-hit power so is the Deontay Wilder of MMA but if he hits you most likely you will drop and be out cold.

Definitely heard the sound of his punch and it was rather sickening.

Makes you appreciate Stipe more for how he totally handled and outwitted Ngannou, let alone dominated.

Holy shit.

Stipe was legit the only one who wouldn’t be lights out from that one punch Ngannou hit him with.

I don’t think Stipe’s chin can withstand another punch like that tbh. Ngannou is the future. Never seen a stronger puncher in my life.

Relative to MMA I agree.

Glad to see Cruz back and sincerely hope he ends Cejudo who is a constant cringefest whether it is part of the act or not.

Hope ring rust is not prevalent for Cruz who is amongst the smartest fighters in the game.

by Arquitecto Sun May 10, 2020 5:06 am

Cruz taking a lot of energy with his footwork alone yet when he attacks Cejudo aims to grapple and clearly its tricky for the former.

by Arquitecto Sun May 10, 2020 5:08 am

The commentating team is so biased towards Cruz due him being part of their team Laughing

Good stoppage

by Arquitecto Sun May 10, 2020 5:15 am

Questionable stoppage and one of course backed up by Rogan & Co. but this fight reminds me of Cruz's last fight and that was his loss against Garbrandt. Where he is so built on his unique style of footwork he almost buys into his own hype so much and let's the fight fly by without actually doing much.

Cruz is a proven winner but really nothing was done here today bar fancy footwork and being dominated by the most annoying fighter in the organization.

Didn’t expect him to retire

by Arquitecto Sun May 10, 2020 5:17 am

& Cejudo announces his retirement in an arena without a crowd.

Annoying as he is clearly he had a lot more in the tank so disappointing to see him go out. Beat the greats in his three of his last four in Cruz, Mighty Mouse and Dillashaw.

by Arquitecto Sun May 10, 2020 5:18 am

& to be honest he has proven himself against the best he can face.

by Arquitecto Sun May 10, 2020 5:24 am

And now for the main event.

I see a easier win for Tony than most thing.

JG is a superb fighter but truth is people are carried away by his violent finishes and aggressive nature and against top opposition he has not been the best. Poirier and Alvarez the best example.

Ferguson is a cut above and should finish this fight the victor, especially given how well prepared (and conditioned) he is.

by Freeza Sun May 10, 2020 5:33 am

JG is fun as a fighter because he’s probably the second best wrestler in the division. But he just wants to bleed.

by Freeza Sun May 10, 2020 5:41 am

Gaethje looking goooood

by Arquitecto Sun May 10, 2020 5:42 am

What a round.

Definitely rate JG above there who has the cleaner and more accurate shots.

Then again Tony will look to adapt as he usually does first round so should see an improvement.

by Arquitecto Sun May 10, 2020 5:45 am

Ferguson is just not normal the way he takes shots like that and barely reacts, facially speaking.

If JG can keep his gas tank beyond this the fight is his since we know Tony will go full five rounds without slowing down.

by Arquitecto Sun May 10, 2020 5:47 am

Not smart by JG swinging too hard given he is losing energy fast by this point whilst Tony's cardio is basically the best in UFC.

by Freeza Sun May 10, 2020 5:47 am

I don’t know how Tony can take these shots

by Freeza Sun May 10, 2020 5:47 am

That uppercut. My god

by Arquitecto Sun May 10, 2020 5:50 am

Huge cut for Tony yet he just keeps gaining on JG despite the damage on his face clearly indicating him to stop.

by Arquitecto Sun May 10, 2020 5:52 am

Twice I just saw JG blink in confusion how Tony can withstand such clean and heavy shots.

by Freeza Sun May 10, 2020 5:53 am

He takes stupid damage

by Arquitecto Sun May 10, 2020 5:54 am

As it stands JG wins the fight but the tide will turn based on the cardio and energy expenditure difference. If not definitely for the former.

by Freeza Sun May 10, 2020 5:59 am

4-0 to JG so far
