I dont think Wonderboy can handle the pressure. Not to take anything away from the Hendrick slaughter that it was, but Hendricks started losing the INSTANT he sat in kicking range. At the start he closed the distance, landed a hook and grappled. He did well while he was grappling too for a long fight, kneeing the legs at least 6 times in their short exchange. But then he sat back and tried to cruise like it was a 5 rounder and never once looked for an inside leg kick against a circling opponent.

Wonderboy wasnt fighting a 5 round fight, no body shots, no leg kicks, all to the head. Rory doesn't fight duration fights, he is always fighting in the moment whether his opponent is looking for the takedown to GnP or the overhand right to end the fight. If grappling is the best option then he will take it. If standing is the best option he will do that.
Wonderhype will lose. Bouncing up and down is a waste of energy. Over rotating your hips leaves you vulnerable to kicks.
 
wonderboy hasn't proven his gritty toughness like rory has matt brown broke wonderboy when he got him to the matt and with tons of pressure

rory is much more well rounded too
 
oh yeah!? well i got Wonderboy by 2 Miles!!

but seriously, tough fight to pick, should be interesting.

Rory was the underdog...He was such a steal, the man has proven himself....Wonderboy beat hendricks, a man who can't cover kicks.

thats a good way to look @ it. obviously rory has shown he has the toughness and well roundedness to hang with anyone, but wonderboy seems to be improving incredibly. fun fight.
 
I agree that Rory is more well rounded so he probably should be the favorite ... but i dont see anyone beating Stephen "by a mile" atm
Sick fight !! ... cant wait
 
Go put 1k on Rory then OP let's see how confident you really are.
 
Wonderboys striking is just on another level and he will prove that yet again when he floors Rory
 
Don't be shocked if Thompson rolls through MacDonald. I don't care what anyone says after the fact, nobody in the world could have predicted with any real confidence that Thompson would finish Hendricks inside 3 minutes and it wasn't like it was just 1 big strike out of nowhere to finish the fight, it was an all around exquisite performance from the first second to the last. Hendricks had never been stopped before and had looked better against the champion than anyone else has (could well be 2-0 vs Robbie with just slightly different judging in the rematch).

I wouldn't be surprised if Rory wins by decision either, but I think a Thompson stoppage is a bit more likely.
 
I got Rory by a nose.

But given that he came off a devastating loss, while Wonderboy just whooped Hendrix but good... it's a dangerous fight...


Though skill-level-wise, they match up interestingly... should be a great fight.

I would agree when it comes to standup. Thompson was already one of the best pure standup fighters in the world before he was even in MMA. Now he's adapted his other worldly striking to combine with a real MMA foundation and the potential is limitless.
 
I really thought Rory would be champ. We'll have to see how he rebounds from his last fight, that was a vicious fight to recover from. He's been out for a year too.
 
I got Wonderboy. I believe he will be more aggressive than Rory and out strike him.
 
With all of the shit talking and BS marketing that goes on, I have to say that one of the most intriguing parts of this fight is that the majority of the fans have respect for the guy that they think is going to lose. It's all, "I think fighter A is gonna win, but fighter B definitely has a shot" For such a big match up between 2 top guys, there is almost no shit talk, because everyone knows that both of these two warriors are going to bring it. I don't give a shit who wins this fight, I'm just thankful that I get to watch it.
 
Cant wait for this fight and a tough one to pick but man did Thompson ever fuck up Hendricks in his last outing so tough to pick against him.

And Hendricks has looked a shell of himself after USADA. I got Rory too!
