UFC 205 - Conor vs Alvarez - NY

[SBJJ]

I think there's a very good reason Woodley tried to avoid a fight with WB.

No doubt. He did NOT want this fight.

Rory clowned wood and wb beat Rory. Just saying

Yeah a lot of time MMA math is completely irrelevant, but here I do think it matters. Because what we're talking about is how Rory used range to land and avoid Woodley's power. And Woodley just had no answer. Wonderboy is on another level than Rory in terms of using range and distance (he just showed us that).

If Woodley had a better gas tank maybe you could argue he gets 10 more minutes (possibly) to find Wonderboy's chin with a bomb since it's 5 rounds. But I think if the fight goes past 3 rounds you are really going to see Wonderboy lighting up a very tired Woodley.

Rory showed that Woodley is terrible if pushed onto the back foot.

And wb is faster than Rory and arguably more technical. Rory used the jab to confuse wood. Can't remember if wb leads with the jab

I don't think it's even arguable that WB is better technically than Rory. Yes speed played a factor in how easily WB handled Rory but it was also the angles, approaches, and masterful use of distance.

Other than maybe Cruz there's nobody that uses angles as well as Wonderboy imo.

I had to turn the last one off when Firas compared Hendo taking TRT to a woman becoming a man. Hopefully this one is less idiotic

Its not like he would admit it though.

If hes broken his nose fight will be off

Replying at all, and in such a blasé manner makes me fairly confident the rumor is not true. But we shall see.....

I really dont think Woodley can win with an early KO second straight fight. He has never fought a fighter with WB`s chin. Even Gastelum`s chin is not on the same level. But do you think 1,57 for WB has a good value?

What fights did Wonderboy show an amazing chin in? I'm not saying he has a poor chin but I just don't remember him eating huge shots. I do remember him getting dropped by Ellenberger and recovering well though.

Just hit these:

0.25u Conor RD2 +625
0.5u KK Decision +530
0.25u Stephens Decision +850

If Conor finishes Eddie it'll probably be in the first round or two. KK probably loses but I still see value there when it's her only real path to victory. Edgar has never been finished and that fight is most likely going the distance so again, I see value at +850.

 

[Sham5916910]

Stephens defo has value at +850

 

[Joseph Budden]

Yeah i've had my eye on Stephens dec too. Very likely Frankie can use his wrestling enough to win rounds, but that line is too sweet

The guy who broke the story that mcgregor got ko'd in the gym now says its nonsense.
