    Imagine Conor vs GSP at UFC 200 :eek:

    I would probably have a heart attack and die. I only got into mma when GSP was at his peak.

    Enjoy guys and gals,I'm out. Night.


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,539 ✭✭✭John_D80


    Have to give the first one to Schevchenko.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 51,342 ✭✭✭✭That_Guy


    Tentative opening round. Shevchenko looks so stiff in there.

    Really??? I dunno about that pal .

    Brilliant corner translation there :D


  • Registered Users Posts: 9,839 ✭✭✭Jelle1880


    Nunes is so superior with her ground game. Shevchenko can't do anything.

    edit: That was a stupid move, she was about to finish it if she'd just kept choking her.

    I thought she was the only one landing any real strikes tbh. Nunes didn't do anything when she had her on the ground.

    She's getting feckin mangled now though.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,520 ✭✭✭✭martyos121


    Shevchenko is one tough lady!


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,752 ✭✭✭Lights On


    She did well to last through that round! Needs a finish to win it

    She might get up, she might get up....nope, she's back down.

    Nunes will finish it.

    Shevchenko did well to escape but Nunes should have finished that.

    Something not nice about watching women getting cut open like this.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,520 ✭✭✭✭martyos121


    Hopefully Sage is watching this.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,513 ✭✭✭tinpib


    Very gutsy by Valentina there.

    Hardcore Henry sounds like a steaming turd to me.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,534 ✭✭✭Brussels Sprout


    half an hour since i turned it on and I think the "hardcore Henry" count has been at least 45

    You taking the piss? Skip the women's fights in future


  • Registered Users Posts: 9,839 ✭✭✭Jelle1880


    Great composure by Shevchenko to get back into that fight.

    Nunes seems ****ed now.

    Aye sure, I will just do what you tell me.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,752 ✭✭✭Lights On


    Nunes will just about edge it. Great showing from Shevchenko in the 3rd though, left it too late to start turning it up

    It's the logical conclusion if you don't like watching women get cut open.....stick to the mens fights.


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,539 ✭✭✭John_D80


    I know I'm in the minority but I think Schevchenko won the first and third here.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,271 ✭✭✭TireeTerror


    Much better third round there. If it was out of 5 it might be a different result.


  • Registered Users Posts: 9,839 ✭✭✭Jelle1880


    Has to go to Nunes, but great third round from Shevchenko.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,683 ✭✭✭Subcomandante Marcos


    29 - 28 Nunes, Shevchenko lost it by being so cautious in the first.

    Nah, I like screwing my face up in mock horror.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,520 ✭✭✭✭martyos121


    Even if any judges gave Shevchenko the first, Nunes took the second 10-8 in my opinion. Not enough 10-8 rounds are actually given.


  • Registered Users Posts: 850 ✭✭✭lougal88


    29-28 Nunes

    Actually, say what you want about Sage, he's not a patch on the true hero of Karate Kid.

    Pity Shevchenko took a round to get into the fight.

    3 more fights before McGregor.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,752 ✭✭✭Lights On


    She was too slow to get into it. That 3rd round was a different fight altogether though!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 51,342 ✭✭✭✭That_Guy


    Judges called that spot on. I had it 29-27. That second round was very dominant.


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,539 ✭✭✭John_D80


    Title shot next for nunes surely. Both of tonights co main event fighters would make for fascinating match ups for her.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,246 ✭✭✭ardinn


    Joe should just ask her about irish politics cause she has absolutely no clue whats he is asking her!

    Too many people misinterpreted the true hero and villain in that film.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,364 ✭✭✭✭Kylo Ren


    That last kick to win it by Daniel on Johnny was illegal too. #Nvr4Get


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,977 ✭✭✭PandaPoo


    Watching the press conference, Diaz reminded me of Brendan Dassey in Making a Murderer :o The touch butt comment was epic though


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,335 ✭✭✭sonic85


    That was a great fight. I thought if Shevchenko was a bit more aggressive in that last round she might have finished it - nunes didn't seem that steady on her feet. Thought she was struggling a bit


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,924 ✭✭✭✭Zero-Cool


    Lets go Filthy, give EA a reason to patch you into the new game!
