Rematch.
Every time Covington got hit in the jaw I winced.
Dude is pretty tough.

[Kopfjager]

McGregor is jacked!

Really good card tonight. I know Cowboy is a tuff bastard, but I think he's fighting for retirement money these days. I hope Conor doesn't bust him up too bad.

[Blackout]

Cowboy for the upset win!
(Hopefully)

[koko64]

+1, hope he lands a KO shot he's capable of, but I'm concerned for his welfare.

[Kopfjager]

Roxanne and Maycee are getting it on. That knee is done.

Great fight Roxanne, pure class act.

Diego submitted Anthony with a rear naked/neck crank. Good fight.

Osbourne was full of piss & vinegar for his debut, but didn't phase Kelleher, and got taken to the ground and choked out/submitted. Great work by Brian.

Pennington wanted this rematch with Holy for a long time, but got beat at her own game. Holy worked the clinch to perfection.


He made it quick, 40sec. Destroyed Cowboy, busted his nose right away with a shoulder strike. Not even a contest. McGregor is back with a vengeance. If and when he and Masvidal fight it's gonna be awesome.

[Kopfjager]

You guys may have already read this, but not only did Conor break Cowboy's nose he broke his orbital bone as well.

I've never liked Connor, but the training he put into the Mayweather fight has exponentially improved his stand-up game. The guy is likely the best boxer in MMA right now.

[Blackout]

I would have to disagree. I believe Tony Ferguson is by far the best boxer in MMA. Not a Conor fan either for the most part mostly because of his big mouth. But the man can fight.

[Kopfjager]

Conor is certainly not the best boxer in MMA. He's a beast though, and he's focused as make the beast with two backs right now. I'm sure he'd be a hoot to party with. All these dudes run their mouths, all of them. These guys aren't like normal (whatever that is) folks. The commitment to step into the cage is huge. To do it over and over, year after year is amazing.

[Kopfjager]

Nothing to do with MMA, but they've been showing a lot of NCAA Wrestling on the tube. I was a wrestler back in the day. (I sucked) The skill level of these guys today is off the chart. I love this sport. Three dimensional chess.

[Kopfjager]

Good card tonight.  

Several really good fights. Shevchenko is a machine. I don't see her losing for quite awhile.

Here comes the main event.


Jones/Reyes went at it hard. Amazing pace for light heavyweights. Dominick hit him with some bombs early in the fight, but John battled through to get the decision.

The judges were kinda make the beast with two backsed up tonight.

[Blackout]

Reyes got robbed. No way Jones won that fight.

[Kopfjager]

The system is broken. Joe and Dominick were talking about it the whole fight. Hard to believe at this stage of the sport that the judges aren't on par with the competition. Most are boxing judges, and I'm pretty sure that's not the same sport. Gaming Commissions in each state are different as well and become an issue. Legal/Illegal fighting where a shit ton of ðŸ'°ðŸ'° is involved.
