Joe Riggs looking like a beast lately!!!

[Swarthy]

Riggs has a pretty loyal fan base I like the guy but he has had his chances and he blew em all.

Joe Riggs and Johny Hendricks are similar, they always talk about how they only fought to some slight percentage of their potential, then miss weight and lose.

Joe Riggs is a true MMA OG if I ever saw one

He was a no holds barred fighter before he was an MMA fighter. He got the tats to prove it.

Joe Riggs 10years challenge would be just sad....

Robbie Lawler was pre gsp pre karo parisyan and pre tuf 1. He was during the time when Matt serra was a new fighter and bj Penn was just becoming well known. People forget how old school Robby Lawler is.

Dude legit looks like an orc from WOW (I think WOW). Very fitting nickname.

Spoiler

 

[Ogata]

He looks insanely good that it would be offensive to write no homo.

 

[infidelkastro]

Just dont give that man a gun. He might hurt someo......... himself.

For sure. Robbie Lawler fizzled out in his first UFC stint and he made it back with vengeance. So did vitor. Riggs can comeback and be a solid contender.

Then Lawler and Befort quickly fizzled after USADA started. The days of fighters making major comebacks 10+ years later are over. Chemically-induced comebacks won't happen any more...or won't last long if they do.

That said, Nick Diaz vs. Joe Riggs might make sense. At least Riggs has stayed active. No idea what Nick would look like if he ever fights again.

lost it...laughed to myself about the idea of his nickname being World of Morecraft...hope it was

Riggs has already done a couple of UFC stints. Would love to see him back, but he doesn't seem to do well in UFC for whatever reason.

 

[VinceArch]

This guy needs to do something different now.

2005 Riggs. He was Grade A, prime beefcake. No one is disputing that. He was a stallion. But 2019 Riggs...is in decline. Take a look at Paulo Costa here. That is a body that just won't quit. Now I bet if you pop those pants off, you're gunna find a bird that just won't quit either. I think the problem here is that Riggs's body quit. His bird quit. And unfortunately, it's no longer legit.

Wouldn't mind having him back.. Not the worst idea he has big power

He does? I mean he does have 27 wins by knockout but they are mostly tkos. I dont really remember his putting anyone out cold.

I agree on the vitor part but Robbie is still relevant in the UFC.

I like your idea with him fighting Nick again and you can bet I will be helping Riggs for that camp!

 

[genecop]

Always a fan, yea he looked good considering everything..

 

[Ogata]

I don't see a response just my quote.

I think Robbie is about to start a Condit phase if he keeps fighting. He wasn't the same against Woodley and looked terrible against RDA...and he got an ACL injury to boot. I think he and Condit's fight about 3 years ago was a twilight fight for both...like Chuck vs. Wand. He may prove me wrong, but I wouldn't bet on it.

He had a fight were he injured his knee in Russia but other than that he has been winning every mma and bareknuckle box fight since his UFC loss to Chris. It was frustrating because he had an injury and couldn't back out. But now he is kicking ass outside of ufc and deserves another opportunity.

Joe does look good he was never that explosive in the ufc with scrambles.

But lol that commentator sounded sad when that dan yates guy lost, he was praising dan all fight, and then sounded defeated at the end, i bet yates is the commentators buddy.
