Gaethje shocked me with how easily he disposed of Barbosa, a perennial gatekeeper himself. Much like Barbosa I don’t give Gathje much of a chance against the top guys but seeing as how I never pay and therefore never miss a card, I’ll be checking this one out.
He has big power though, I feel he could catch Ferguson early. He also has a strong wrestling pedigree though he doesn't use it much in mma. Tony Ferg has struggled a bit with strong wrestlers before.
I don’t believe in Gatjhe’s power. I think he caught a couple guys with perfect shots for those couple one punch KO’s he landed but I’ve also seen him unload the kitchen sink on other guys who took his power with no problem. I won’t be shocked if he beats Ferguson but depending on how it happens I would think a lot less of Ferguson afterwards. IMO this is closer to a stay busy nice payday fight than an actual threat to his winning percentage type of match for Ferguson. It’s not that Gatjhe’s a bad fighter it’s just that he fights dumb and puts more stock in entertaining the crowd than employing an effective game plan.
Great fight. LOVE Gaethje. Like Tony. Don't wanna see either lose. I feel like Justin will beat the shit out of Tony on the feet and use his wrestling to keep it standing. Justin by ko in 3 in a ridiculous war. Justin also kills Khabib by the way. EASILY.
I think JoM and lbs. are overlooking Gaethje a bit, but you're severely overeating him . I do think he matches up better against Khabib than TFerg though. I expect Gaethje to wilt in the latter rounds as he blows his wad early and Tony takes over.
Tony is wide open to be clipped. I definitely think Tony has a lot better shot versus Justin than Khabib. Khabib would have nothing for J.G. Khabibs overrated wrestling is not taking J.G down and in the stand up fight Khabib gets slaughtered. JG ko 1 or max 2 Khabib.
Dana White is MANY Things, but a Bullshit Artist AIN'T 1 Of Them... For Better or Worse, Worse or WORSER, He's Probably as BLUNT as Any Figure Head of Any Branch in Combative Sports...He was INTENTIONALLY Vague About the Makeshift, Last Minute Locale of UFC 249 Out of FEAR of State/Local Government Intervening... And That's PRECISELY What Ended Up Happening... w/Out White FORMALLY Announcing a Destination, Word Obviously Leaked Tachi Palace Reservation was Indeed "The Chosen One" and QUICKER Than You Can Say "Governor of California" Gavin Newsom Reached Out to ESPN And Disney, the Company that OWNS ESPN, and the Event was Cancelled Altogether... REED
Theres nothing to elaborate about. Just sounds like typical white bs. If he really does it, kudos to him, but ill believe it when i see it
It was ALREADY Set Up Bruh... Brett Okamoto CONFIRMED UFC Fighter's Received Their Flight Itinerary, Hotel Bookings, etc...But 1nce the Governor of California Learned an Indian Reservation in HIS State was the Designated Spot, He Reached Out to Disney and ESPN to Cock Block the Entire Event... REED
No different place Tachi Palace - Wikipedia fight Island is a supossedly empty Island on which they would build the infrastructure to hold fights
Brett Okamoto on Twitter Jacare's got the coronavirus, but "What are you talking about, you GOOF! The card must go on!" Dana
Tony by 3rd-4th Round Stoppage...Gaethje Has His Moments, Undoubtedly, But Tony's a Higher Level Fighter... Rooting for Cruz in the Co-Main...Cejudo's Conor McGregor-Wannabe Schtick is FORCED and Played Out Already...He's a Good Bit SHORTER than Cruz, But Cruz Has Had What, Like 2-3 Fights in the Last 5-10 Years???...Wouldn't Bet a Whole Lot On This Fight Either Way... Taking Rozenstruik Over NGannou, Even Though NGannou's Favored...This Really COULD Boil Down to Who LANDS 1st, but REED's Betting it'll Be Rozenstruik... REED
