PBP UFC Vancouver - De Ridder vs. Allen Official PBP Discussion: Sat 10/18 at 4pm ET

[MMA4Life]

I was referring to Cajuns -- originally Acadians, French settlers in the northeast of Canada that got expelled by the British. But trying for a flippant quip doesn't leave much space for footnotes, alas.

You might as well explain the ramifications of the Louisiana purchase and how it led to the subsequent gold rush as the colonization moved west.

Saar it is a good day to of being of Canada!

Que? No hablo ingles.

Am I trippin? Yall think Allen is a bum? I understand he’s not a world beater. But a bum??! Cmon man. He’s had plenty of shining moments to show he’s legit.

RDR is sloppy and has been a plot armor fighter for a while. Kind of like Driscus. The result didn’t shock me that much…other than the stool quit.

But honestly, am I missing something besides mmath?

I have seen those moments as well and thought he was going to dominate but then had some mediocre fights and sometimes looks a little soft. However, I did not realize until tonight the fucker is 26 years so

later sherbros, gonna cook up some dinner

dinner didn't turn out great. tenders too spicy

 

[Diggie]

RDR must have been sick or injured or something. I really can’t believe he’d just shit the bed like that and quit.

 

[MMA4Life]

It's definitely a bad year to be an American.

At least I know I’m free.
And I won't forget the men who died
Who gave that right to meeeeeeeeee. Fuck youuuu US citizens get a bad rap.

Sounds good though. Good going on your orange belt.

Pride the Japanese MMA team is organization isn’t for you then.

We should all get together in June and celebrate Pride FC. If we pool our money we can get Wanderlei there

 

[DrRodentia]

It’s all subjective. Don’t worry about me. But yeah, I don’t find Belal entertaining. I consider him a safe fighter. Smart. But not dangerous in terms of damage and/or finishing ability. I respect his mma intelligence. He does a lot with a little. But I just don’t enjoy his overall style.

I just think he gets some unjust hate. Especially after his showing against JDM, where he showed a lot of heart and was down to brawl. Thought that fight might have warmed some folks up to him a bit, despite the loss.

Not to say he hasn't been boring multiple times in the past, or that I think a fight with Garry will be particularly exciting, with both being kinda safety first guys.

Good point. And a ton of heart. Many men would have folded after round 1. He’s young, hungry, and keeps improving. I still think fluffy remains his perennial undoing. Fluffy is also improving and I don’t think Allen is going to catch up. But, Allen? I think he has a couple more upsets up his sleeve.

Counter it with a nice cream based dipping sauce.

*insert cum joke*

Fair perspective. I think the JDM fight forced him to brawl. Belal doesn’t do well if he can’t fight his fight. JDM made him fight at a different clip. Respect to Belal that he didn’t melt under the pressure. But that’s clearly not his style.

But if anyone gets lulled into Belal’s style, it’s likely going to be a long boring fight. lol.

But again; this is just my perception.

Be a west coast Canadian. Relatively mild temperatures year round. Doesn't get really ever get colder than -10 (celsius) at most.

Lotta rain though.

 

[don't ask]

No point deductions?

I'm not sure.

I forgot his name.
