UFC 205| MSG| Conor McGregor vs. Eddie Alvarez | Weidman/Romero| Woodley/Thompson

:goodnews:

 

so the average ticket price was 850$ ? :tick:

 

That was all too easy for McGregor. Didn't even break a sweat.

 

Simple technique: use the teep-kick as a range-finder and to stop your opponent swarming....then use the accurate straight-left over his right.
Álvarez just didn't learn from knockdown #1...

 

There's Really NATHAN Like a Conor McGregor Fight Night...

Sports Bar is MORE Crowded, Got to Arrive EARLIER to Get a Seat, PRETTIER Women in Attendance and People Cheering as If they're RINGSIDE, During the Ringwalks, Intro's and the Fight Itself...And McGregor Never EVER Fails to Make for a MEMORABLE Moment...Even the Loss to Diaz was a Helluva Fight w/a Shocking, Sudden, Swing in Momentum...

Eddie Alvarez SAID All the Right Shit, WASN'T the Least Bit Intimidated and Looked to Be in TREMENDOUS Shape...Nonetheless, McGregor Treated Him Like a Straight Up SCRUB...Wiped his Ass w/Him, Repeatedly Bounced Him Off the Canvas and EASILY Stopped Him...Conor Stuffed the 1 Takedown Attempt Alvarez Mustered and Beat the Shit Out of Him, Otherwise...

It's Now SAFE to Say McGregor's Power TRAVELS w/Him...Alvarez Dropped to the Canvas Just as "Mini" Mendes, Aldo or Diaz Did...3 Different Weights, Varying Styles, yet All FELLED by SINGLE SHOTs from McGregor...@ the Rate he's Going, McGregor May Start to Be Thought Of as a Chuck Liddell or Rumble Johnson, in Terms of PURE, 1-Shot, MMA Punching Power...

Reigning Champion of 2 Weight Classes???...WOW!!!...





REED:mj:

 

Yeah, he Got MORE Work Out of his Live Session w/Artem, On the Countdown Show, than he Did from Alvarez...





REED:mut:

 

REED Feels BAD for Tyron Woodley...

Dude Just CAN'T Get a Break...REED Thought he Eeked Out a Decision and Didn't Have a Problem w/the Official Verdict, but THE WAY He Learned it was a Draw was Fucked Up...Granted, as Soon as Buffer Read 47-47 Twice, REED Yelled Out "Mandatory Draw"...REED Ended Up Having to Explain How He Knew That, to 5-10 People...

Woodley Beat the Brakes Off of WonderBoy in Rounds 1 and 4, But 2, 3 and 5 is What COST him...Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay Toooooo LEERY...Tooooooo Many LULLS...Woodley Definitely EXPOSED WonderBoy, but He Needed to Put Forth a Tad MORE to Definitively Win...He Completely NEUTRALIZED WonderBoy's Kicks and Unorthodoxy, Yet Still Showed Tooooooooooooo MUCH Respect...

WonderBoy's Got HEART Though...Face Busted Up BAD in Round 1, Caught in a TIGHT Choke for Like 2 Minutes...Never Tapped, Never Lost Consciousness, THEN Finished the Round G & P'ing Woodley...

Good Fight, but REED Would Like to See Woodley and WonderBoy Face Someone Fresh Next, Instead of Going to an IMMEDIATE RE...





REED:mj:

 

Joanna vs. Karolina GRADUALLY Grew More Interesting...

No Doubt, Karolina's Studied Joanna's EVERY Move for Years, Which Lead to Joanna Playing it a Bit SAFER Early...She Seized Control and was OUTCLASSING Karolina, Until Getting Clipped in the 4th...Definitely Hurt, Joanna GUTTED it Out...REED Was Impressed How Joanna Used her KICKS to Maintain Distance, w/Her Back to the Fence...

REED Wouldn't Mind a RE in this Instance, Due to the DEARTH of Competition @ 115...If REED Ain't Mistaken, Karla Esparza is the # 1 Contender, but Joanna DESTROYED Her to Win the Title...No Suspense in a RE There...

Karolina and Esparza Should Fight, and Joanna Should Move Up to Face Someone Like Carmouche or Correria, Just to Test the Women's Bantamweight Waters...




REED:mj:<strike></strike>

 

Joanna sucks and is boring. Everytime I see her, the announcers are hyping her as some kind of some dangerous killing machines, yet, she always win a boring dec, looking sloppy and unexplosive in the process. One of the reason why I can't wait for the fad of women mma to be over.

 

How about those odds?.... 2 to 1 favorite,.. a strict stand up fighter - no ground game - inferior hand speed, power and strength,.. that just never sat right with me. :nono:

With those tiny gloves, fighters like Woodley, Johnson and Garbrandt can beat anyone instantly,.. if those guys are ever big underdogs on the tote and as guardian to Floyd's treasure, Reed should put some petty cash on it.

 

Joanna's Fights Can Be "Boring" in the Sense that You KNOW it's Going to a Decision, but She's a Very ACTIVE and ACCURATE Striker...Knees, Punches, Elbows, Front Kicks, Spinning Kicks, She's Got a FULL Repertoire...

She's Just Completely DEVOID of Power...But Hell, She's a 115lb FEMALE...





REED:laugh101:

 

REED Will Admit 3 Female Fights (2 on the Main Card) was a Bit MUCH Though...1 Chick Fight on the Fox Prelims and 1 on the Main Card is MORE than Enough...





REED:mj:

 

for me, she's the perfect definition of someone who have skills, but no talent. You can see that she knows what she's doing, bur she lacks power, speed and explosiveness.

 

Never Sat Well w/REED Either...

WonderBoy was Billed as This "Athletic, Creative Striker", but Woodley's Arguably THE Most Athletic Fighter on the Roster...Woodley Was Definitely QUICKER, STRONGER and More EXPLOSIVE by a Good Margin...

And Again, Woodley COMPLETELY Neutralized WonderBoy's KICKS, After Nailing the Takedown in the 1st Round...And You're Right, WonderBoy Offered ZERO Resistance On the Ground...

Still, Woodley Showed Toooooooooooooo MUCH Respect in Rounds 2, 3 and 5...





REED:mj:

 

agREED...

REED Actually Wouldn't Mind if Joanna Took PED's to ENHANCE Herself in the Areas You Speak Of...Very SKILLED Fighter for Sure...






REED:mj:

 

If I were Woodley, I would be screaming for Conor Mcgregor over and over again,.. and it may work,.. because Conor's now got Nurmagomedov munching at his arse,...and if that wild russian ape merely hooks his pinky around conor's ankle,.. he's dead,... DEAD. :crafty:

 

agREED...

Woodley Wants a BIG Fight and McGregor's as BIG a Fight as it Gets...

After Taking the Title from Lawler, Woodley was Campaigning for Nick Diaz or GSP, ASSuming They're Returning...UFC Threw WonderBoy @ Him Though, but Today Woodley's STILL the Champ...

Woodley and Conor Apparently Had a Twitter Pissing Match a Few Days Ago, and a Brief Staredown Before the Last Presser, Which is Why Conor Spoke of "Taking ALL the Belts On that Table Over There" (Or However he Worded It)...

Obviously, Conor's BIG Business for UFC...Attempting to Hold 3 Belts SIMULTANEOUSLY, Would Sell a Shitload of PPV's...Nurmagomedov Looked like an ANIMAL Last Night...In Terms of Risk/Reward, He's a SCARIER Option for McGregor...

In Terms of LEGACY, the Direction McGregor Should Pursue is a No-Brainer...





REED:mj:

 

Reed please yes indeed,...and I forgot, ....Woodley has his own problems with Maia nibbling his lobes and whispering sweet nothings, risky and undesireable, so he's set up quite well to accept, and be picked, for a fight with Mcgregor,..

 

McGregor Demanding EQUITY in the UFC...

http://www.foxsports.com/ufc/story/c...ncludes-111316


He's Got the Company by the BALLS, Basically...Only Question Is, How BIG of a Share Does he Get???...





REED:mj:

 

Instead of wailing about this behind closed doors like a filthy sleazy little rat,... he's appealing to working class sympathy and pressure for a billion dollars to raise a child.

Awesome press conference,.. I haven't seen the likes of this since Floyd / Baldomir.

 

Talking of interviews, post-fight Alvarez looked utterly dejected as well as being bashed-up: his face looks like he went the full distance.

Won´t see him again in the Octagon...

 

He Got His Ass Whipped in What Amounts to HIS "Backyard", by a Shit Talking Irishman that BACKED UP Every Syllable...

Understandably TOUGH to Stomach...Eddie Alvarez is a Quality, World Class Fighter, but Conor McGregor is SPECIAL...






REED

 

:atu:

what a mismatch. Alvarez looked like a vagrant against someone who actually knows how to fight standing upright

 

No Doubt...

But @ Least Hillary Put Up a FIGHT...Alvarez was as "Competitive" as CM Punk was w/Mickey Gall...





REED:mut:

 

I'm not sold on Mcgregor as a lw, but I correctly predicted he would win easily. Alvarez is not elite imo, and was rather lucky to hold the title.

 

Hard to Disagree w/This...

Alvarez Looked Like DIDN'T Belong In There, So Either he SUCKS or Conor McGregor is SPECIAL...No Middle Ground...
