PBP UFC Fight Night 223 - Song vs. Simon: Official PBP Discussion: Sat. 4/29 at 4:30pm ET/1:30pm PT

6’5 is crazy for a welterweight

 

[Liverkick-king56]

Not hating on the guy but seriously Collier needs to be cut, you have to remember he was ripped and lean 185 MW, and now he is cutting to 265.. weighs in at 266.. so he probably is like 290 in the cage and is totally out of shape and exhausted and slow after a few exchanges, and the expression on his face is like he doesn't have a care in the world.

I have big doubts he trains often, especially for a pro fighter. I think he just half-asses it and doesn't overly care, just wants money and to get paid. Its not just the huge weight gain, its his facial expressions too, he doesn't really care when he loses.. like when Tom Aspinall beat him quickly.. his facial expression was not upset, it was like ''meh". He is just half-assing it all

He actively avoids training.
Such a shame because he shows such nice technique that you can see there was a love for the sport before but that fire died many pounds ago

Joe Martinez is very underrated. Prolly my all time most fave announcer

 

[Kowboy On Sherdog]

Is he actually 6'5" though?

Yep..

But is he taller than Mir

 

[Sixstring]

Doing pretty good and I hope you are as well! I plan to be recording tomorrow and
I may have a rough demo done as well.
It's in skeletal form but I'm liking it so.... fingers crossed I get it done.

Hope you'll let me check it out!

How tall is Brooklyn Wren? Asking for a friend.

 

[Espresso]

Yadong's warming up now

 

[spooNN]

That's a looong drink of Welter

A long welter? Does sound like a drink.

 

[xHeadx]

5" Height difference. Someone is cutting.

 

[MMA4Life]

6'5 170

I'm Lean rn and 170 would be so hard to cut too. Sounds miserable.

I think they're being told to say things to drive up interest in the fights, it's just irksome when it's not at all accurate so often. I know Cormier and Anik are thorough with watching tape and taking notes, they've seen these dudes fight more than I have.

Yes, it's their jobs to sell fights. DC probably forgets half of what he watches.

 

[Quietus]

They’re calling it Fight Night: Song vs Simon.. I suppose that’s better and more alliterative than Ricky vs yer Dong

 

[heavyarms21]

Quinlan a good sized WW vs a MW.

 

[Neck&Neck]

Bro should be shooting hoops

Is he actually 6'5" though?

6’7” when not cutting weight

 

[Jackonfire]

High level stuff boys.

That back take was beautiful

 

[Espresso]

Who says no to Yadong-Waters?

 

[Cobra Kai]

What does Waters weigh right now? He looks huge for WW

 

[IneedSometop]

He doesn’t even look like a beanpole in there either looks strong

 

[MikeyB]

Yep..

But is he taller than Mir

Dude had to cut height to make heavyweight. Also this fight was legit close to a murder.

 

[heavyarms21]

Waters controlling distance
