Gilbert is donezo

[Killer Kadoogan]

ya don't say?

 

[blaseblase]

Gilbert looked like you would in the cage.

Yeah, probably. But that's how you would look as well so not a great flex there, pal.

blatant case of mma noobery, burns showed some elite grappling in that fight it took brady half the fight to get him down and gilbert was reversing and getting his own takedowns.

Not a great showing on the feet but overall he did show he is not "done"

 

[RockyLockridge]

Burns vs Colby is the fight to make now. They both look past it based on their last performances. They're not contenders for a title.

Colby should be fighting down even further he was already not a top guy he should be lowered to like rank 7-9 and made to fight top 15

 

[rjmbrd]

Burns probably beats 90% of fighters ranked outside of the top 10 and is competitive with the elite.

Brady is a world class fighter and they had a competitive fight. Burns is old. Stick around and see all your favorite fighters get old. Welcome to MMA.

Gave Khamzat the fight of his life..

 

[pick999]

His fall off needs to be studied

 

[dipstickjimmy]

How do you explain Randy and Glover?

I guess it works better for Hendo.

And Jan too

Fuck no. Colby should have to fight a contender for once. Burns has fought 3 rising contenders on winning streaks in a row. Colby does not deserve to fight him.

Colby doesn't deserve a contender, which is why him vs Gilbert makes perfect sense now.

Colby shouldn't even be in the top10.

Colby should be fed to the wolves at this point. The guy has spent the last 5 years ducking anyone of relevance. Feed him to JDM or Ian Garry.

Burns is done for sure but also was over rated at his prime.

I think you mean Colby.

 

[Craig Hogg]

His striking looked bad which was funny considering the commentators were going on as if he was like Poatan at the start of the fight.
In contrast Brady's striking looked much improved.
The grappling was pretty even though.

Seems super weaksauce to give him yet another chance to be in title contention with 1 fight. He absolutely does not deserve a fight with either of those guys.

Seeing him get his ass kicked by guys he doesn't deserve to be in there with just for the sake of it seems strange. If you don't like him, why would you want him possibly squeaking back into yet another titleshot?

I think Gilbert Burns is a great opponent due to them being near the end and likely neither ever contending for the title again. No throwaway fights needed IMO.

Colby should have to earn a fight with guys like JDM and Garry at this point.

So you'd rather he fight yet another old timer past the age of 37 on a two fight losing streak? I just want him to face an actual challenge. If he can beat someone like JDM or Ian Garry it will be an actual accomplishment. If he fights Burns what will that actually tell us? Absolutely nothing, he'll get to keep his top 5 status, and he might even get another title shot off of it if he waits a year. I'm sick to my stomach of the old guys perpetually remaining in the rankings and only having to fight other old guys. Enough of that crap. Colby needs to fight someone under the age of 35.

 

[SirRealKiller]

I think you mean Colby.

I mean both.

 

[DoctorStoppage]

He can’t pull the trigger anymore

 

[skylolow]

A lot of wear on that body.

Just got around to watching the fights from Saturday night and Gilbert looked absolutely lifeless. He reminded me of Tony in the past couple rounds of the Gaethje fight. I don't think he wins another fight in the UFC. I do not think he should be ranked at this point. UFC Gods, please give his spot to someone younger. If he wants to fight again put him against some bum and let him ride off into retirement.

I have been saying this since the Masvidal fight...

I honestly think his last major effort he had in his body was that loss to Chimaev... since that fight he has looked OLD and SLOW and even broken to be honest... he shouldn't be ranked that is a fact he is OLD.
