UFC Fight Night 129: Maia vs. Usman Main Card PBP Discussion 10 pm ET/7 pm PT/3 am UK

[Michaelangelo]

Surprised the crowd never started booing. That was truly a terrible fight

they did whistle for some romo action

 

[egk]

Would be incredibly stupid, risky, and dangerous. However, yes it would be impressive.

The thing is these guys fight for money more than anything. Woodley is the perfect example. He puts on boring shows then whines that he can't get a money fight. Who wants to watch guys like Colby or now Usman fight away from their strength because they're terrified of going to the ground with a bbj ace? Instead they turn the fights into shitty striking matches then they'll whine that they aren't getting title shots or getting paid. You gotta put butts in the seats.

 

[Gio]

I hope Maia announces his retirement after the judges call

 

[aerius]

Surprised the crowd never started booing. That was truly a terrible fight

I'm pretty sure they fell asleep like I did.

 

[Mister7]

Who gave Snoozeman the first?

 

[Scurvydawg]

Man. Fuck that Usman guy. Fuck him right in the ear! Lame bastard played it beyond safe. Pulled some dirty shit. Will never cheer for that hoser again. He has no business headlining cards.

 

[chaka]

Hope he doesnt try to talk shit about that performance.

EDIT: X-Rays, or it didnt happen

 

[fortheo]

Man Maia has a terrible corner

Terrible management too, allowing him to fight Masvidal, Woodley, and covington back to back to back in a 6 month timespan, and then accepting a fight against Usman on 3 weeks notice. Bad choices towards the end of Maia's career.

 

[HAWTRIDDUM]

Main event is a gigantic borefest

Would be literally the worst decision in UFC history.

somehow i wouldnt been mad at it

 

[Mmmmmmma1234]

Looks like another big 30% from Usman.

 

[ImNotSurpisedDonks!]

Usman didn't really up his stock with that performance. Have him and Colby fight next.

I say Wonderboy Till winner. The interim champ should not have to defend their belt.

 

[TheGZA]

This is so sad. Maia is such a likeable figure. Sucks to see him get the worst three opponents in his division back to back and get rekt like this.

UFC burying Maia. They gave him a short notice five rounder for a reason. Sad.

 

[Grapplefest]

He broke both of his hands now? Lmfaooo..

 

[K-Town Punk]

Usman riding out a boring decision he won by nothing than cardio and defending one-dimensional takedowns from an apparent post-prime Maia that seems to have none of that left what made him so great and dangerous, which was his creativity and extreme tenacity. What a stud lol, and that guy wants to fight at the level of in-prime Woodley, Thompson etc. No chance. It's sad to see Maia in this condition though. He's not getting beat up or anything, but he seems like he's got not passion, no drive, like he's just going in there to make some money.
Btw, what kind of judge scored the first round pro Usman? The latter 4, obviously, but the first was all Maia.

 

[Gambit MMA]

lol, this guy has excuses every fight

 

[Dart Feld]

 

[Workaholic]

Did he just say he had two broken hands?

 

[BlkBeltJones]

Hahahaha thanks

 

[MGS]

31%

 

[Sgt Smith]

That was a pretty dull card.

 

[Soul On Ice]

"Broken Hand Usman" has never lost a round
