The current version of Jacare is a scary dude. The first fight was evenly matched and I think Jacare has improved more than Mousasi since. I think Mousasi gets his ass handed to him.
First off, this card, on paper, is much better than last Saturday's PPV. For a while, Mousasi looked like he was the real deal, then all of a sudden, it looked like he just stopped caring. Sleepwalking against Keith Jardine of all people, losing to King Mo, he just stopped fighting with any urgency at all. And like Trp says, Jacare just keeps getting better. I think Jacare finishes him within 4. And Ben Rothwell punches Overeem's ticket to Bellator. TFK
I would actually like to be wrong. I hope Mousasi stops Jacare's momentum. To me, Jacare is the most dangerous MW in the world right now. He's developed scary punching power to go with his top- of -the -food chain BJJ. That being said, both Kennedy and Rockhold used wrestling and pace to give Jacare fits so he does have some holes in his game. I'm just not sure they're holes that Mousasi has the skill set to exploit.
I'm surprised Mousasi beat him. Haven't seen the fight, but Jacare seems clearly better from what I have seen.
Well, Jacare took Mousasi down and kept top control for a couple minutes before Mousasi landed an up kick that knocked Jacare out. It wasn't a performance that proved who was better. That's why I think Jacare wins tonight.
Lauzon & Chiesa are Going HARD on Each Other in Round 1...Good Shit... Lauzon was BANKING on Being STRONGER in the Clinch, but that Didn't Appear to Be the Case...Still, Lauzon Seems More TECHNICAL, While Chiesa's More UNORTHODOX... REED:shadow:
Elbows, Knees, Punches, these Dudes are Dropping BOMBS on Each Other... Chiesa Gets a HORRENDOUS Cut Opened Up Over his Right Eye, from a HUGE Knee...Doctor Advises Referee, Herb Dean, to Stop the Fight... No Doubt, We'll See a RE...This Shit was JUST Getting Good... REED:clapagain:
Chiesa's Cut is the LENGTH of his Eyebrow & WIDE Enough to Stick 2 Fingers In... OUCH!!!... REED:wtf1:
Surely, You're NOT Talking about the Mitrione Fight???... 1st of All, it was CLEAR the Brother DIDN'T Even Want to Be In There...He CIRCLED AWAY from Mitrione for the "Duration" of the Fight & Never Threw a Single Strike...Then, he Gets Forearmed Shoved to the Ground & is NON RESPONSIVE as Mitrione RAINS Punches & Hammerfists Upside his Head... NATHAN Wrong w/that Stoppage, in REED's Opinion... REED :shadow:
I tought it was a ridiculous stoppage. THe brother seemed to defend himself intelligently. Sure he was hurt but he was not out of it. Lately, it seems that they are really quick on the trigger
From Day 1, Mitrione's had Good MMA Boxing...He Looks to Be in BETTER Shape than REED's Ever Seen, Too...He'll NEVER Be Heavyweight Champ, but REED Could See Mitrione Involved in Some INTERESTING Bouts Along the Way... REED:shadow:
no, he got stung 3 times in 10 seconds,he was far from ko'd. He was still defending himself when he was hurt. Sure, he was probably on his way to get ktfo, but still, I hate stoppage like this, especially if the fight his just a few seconds old.
Hmmmm... @ 1 Point, The Brother was FACE PLANTED on the Canvas, EATING Punches & Hammerfists, w/Out DEFENDING Himself @ All:dunno:...The Fight was COMICALLY Brief, but the Stoppage Looked LEGIT to REED... Mitrione is a CAPABLE MMA Heavyweight Who was In there w/a Dude we'll Likely NEVER See Again, in a UFC Octagon...5-10 More Seconds & Brother Would've Been UNfuckingCONCIOUS... REED:up:
I thought Rothwell was a lock if he could make it out of the first round. Turns out Reem couldnt make it.
Overeem has a Very EDUCATED Standup Game & his Offense & VARIETY of Strikes are Very ENTERTAINING to Behold...But @ the End of the Day, he has the Punch Resistance of Amir Khan... Even as Overeem Punished Rothwell w/Kicks to the Legs, Knees & Kicks to the Body AND Punches, You just KNEW Rothwell Would Catch him & HURT Him, Eventually... Overeem is Sooooo TALENTED, Soooo SKILLED (as a Standup, Offensive Fighter), yet Soooo BAD, Simultaneously... REEDalm:
That's right. But it seems you still haven't learnt this :: The truth is you overrated the shit out of him even on Roids, he was never that good.
