    When the rising star of the division is a fat, skilless brawler, you know the talent level is low.

    What a bore. Look like a bad toughman contest

    Well, a fatigue KO. Unsurprising, and a fitting end to that shitfest.
    If I was Dana White, I would fire these two guys trump style

    Totally agreed with all, but tbh, when a guy gets to 230lb and above, they just havent got the cardio for the various skills required for MMA.

    Hunt: 260lb
    Lewis: 265lb

    Yeah, right. Fat tubs of shit.

    Ngannou's the one getting all the hype. Lewis was never treated to Joe Rogan's nasal screams to be fair, but I essentially agree, Lewis should never, EVER have got this far,..if he just grew out his bald horse-shoe frizz, Dana could've been thinking well this time I might just get a piece of this innanet Kimbo stuff.:emoji_deer:

    And people were blasting Dada 5000 and Kimbo, but this shit wasn't really better, and was supposed to be a fight between top contenders lol. To be honest, I kind enjoyed both fights, in a ''watching a train wreck'' way.

    No I meant it's biological and physically proven that a human over that weight isn't going to be the most effective at MMA.
    Boxing is different though: the cardio and V02 max levels needed are way higher in MMA: 3 min rounds v 5 min rounds...using punches alone vs using punches, kicks, grappling...

    I think it has a lot more to do with these two guys being 2 bags of fat than any difference in the sport

    Anyone who thought that this fight was meant to reveal some future top contender obviously knows nothing about the sport.

    Guys doing MMA over 200lb is really tough on the cardio/VO2 max though...its a sport/fighting-style purely for lighter weights.

    I disagree. Plenty have done it just fine in the past. We just have an absolutely pathetic crop currently. One of the worst ever.

    Yet another instance where Jeffy was ridiculously off the mark

    Please... like anyone in their right mind saw Derrick Lewis getting a title shot at that point...



    If you thought I was off the mark, why didn’t you contest it at the time? lol

    Don’t go there Mr. Casual

    Cause ive realised years ago that your such a confused mess, that there is no point in having a discussion with you
