Cowboy needs to walk away. He’s got a good thing going at home and a lot of people wanting to be trained by him. He’s been badly beaten the last few times out and with little Danger(yes that’s his son’s name) only a baby, Cerrone needs to leave before CTE gets the better of him. Great ambassador for the UFC. Turned up on weight every time. Never backed away from a fight and stepped in at short notice.
McGregor looked good but I do wonder how much damage has been done cowboy in the last few fights.

Good to see the real story getting out
He was getting a lot of shit about constantly pulling out of fights and some people were convinced he had failed a drugs test etc etc

@raznomore said in UFC:
I had Reyes winning 3 out 5 rounds.
He was very good for the first 3 rounds. I gave the second round to Jones but it was extremely close. I know Reyes had the better striking stats.. however I thought Jones had the better of the exchanges in that round
I was cheering for Reyes and understand people scoring it for him. I am surprised by the number of people that think this was a robbery
The 49-46 judges card was bullshit though
How good was Jones's chin??
I hope they set up a rematch soon

I think Jones stole it with the takedowns for 2 of the judges. If you want t go 5 round with the champ you have to win outright. I guess he didn't do that.
I'm not sure if Reyes could fight that fight again and not be found out by Jones. I think Jones would level up as he did vs Gustafsson and up the number of kicks he'd throw.

Maybe.. there's so many questions about how a rematch would go
Is it possible for someone Reyes size to keep that pace up for longer than 3 rounds?
If he holds back does he lose more of the early rounds?
Jones might go for the take downs from round one?Jones would probably win a rematch.. however the performances against OSP, Santos and now Reyes gives the opposition more hope than the first part of his career.
Maybe the picograms have stopped pulsing

Do you have a prediction for the Felder v Hooker fight? It would be good to hear a non kiwi point of view
My by biased prediction is of course a Hooker win..
The first round is the biggest worry. Despite Hookers persona he is a deliberate calm fighter.. he evaluates the opponents in the first round before picking up the pace. Felder might get some damage in early
There's stories about how hard the weight cut is for Felder so the longer it goes the more confident I amEveryone seems to be talking about the striking.. but I think it might end by a Hooker rear naked choke late in the fight

@Duluth I know you said “non kiwi” but I want to talk lol....
Felder’s spinning back fist is dangerous. For him as well. Having broken his arm throwing it. He’s better than Iaquinta but I don’t think he’s this elite fighter he’s sometimes made out to be. He’s a brawler. Hooker is calculating and so bloody long. I think if he get that feint game going he could do some real damage.
Felder is a very good kickboxer and I think that’s where he has the edge. Kicks and lots of them will win him the fight.

Hooker's to lose.
Head and shoulders better than Felder.

I watched the open workouts yesterday
The pad work with Felder and Duke Roufus was the highlight. These workouts are generally a bit of fluff to build hype, but Felder dialled up the intensity
Seeing the speed of his elbows and spinning back fists up close was really impressiveGood to see Crute wrestle with Dan Kelly too
