am in shock here, couldn't see it at all
great to have a new contender

Really enjoyed that!

Call Me Jimmy

Very impressive

ricero

Jasus he made a show of jacare. Fair play to him. He is so quick on his feet and takedown defence was excellent. A serious contender

Wow. Wouldn't have called that in a million years. Never really rated Whittaker as highly as some did but I have to eat my words now. Quality performance.

I remember we discussed this, and in fairness you did say you'd eat your words if hes not destroyed by a top fighter or grappler :pac:



Absolute animal the guy is,


Anyone think it was early stoppage?

UFC rankings don't mean shít.

Why??

Rankings are pretty much spot on for both these guys considering their records in the division and it's not like they were miles apart in their placings.

I thought Whittaker had only a small chance but he really impressed me there!

Mario Yamasaki was waiting for an invitation to stop Whitaker from flat-out murdering Jacare. Crazy late stoppage.

Well he's made a fan out of me now, that's for sure. No problem admitting he made me look a right mug. :pac:

Gamebred

I think the way he stopped it made it look a bit weird but Jacare wasnt escaping that barage there on second viewing, I'd say UFC wont be happy if they gave him a big money contract now hes locked in for 8 more fights.

Joe Rogan trying to sell this Swanson/Lobov fight is hilarious.

ricero

He needs to call out the likes of romero there for me and solidify himself as top contender for the belt

John_D80

Didnt see anything wrong with the stoppage. Souza was doing enough in terms of movement after he was dropped to be allowed carry on. It's not like he was just covering up.

It was stopped at the right time.

Its strange as it looked like he was gone completely and it should be stopped but then seemed to come slightly back around and then you would say he shouldn't have stopped it.

He got rocked a good few times so he can't be let get hit that many times but it felt a bit early. I dunno. A very strange one that I am in 2 minds

UFC will be DELIGHTED!!

Whitaker is a good looking fella and speaks English and is a straight-up murderer with his hands! Compared to a Brazilian with no English and a phenom on the mat (where most casuals get bored).

Dana will be smiling ear to ear. I've a feeling Chris Weidman is insane enough to fight Jacare next.

Gamebred

There will be some boiled urine if Ar-tem ko's cub I would pay to see it happen tbh mma fans would seeth.

I think that will be good. At least Artem goes for the KO and Cub does too.

Let them bang bro!!!!

mailburner

if he had stopped it 10/15 seconds earlier it would have made more sense
he was barely getting hit when the ref stopped it

What fight were you watching? When Jacare stood up he nearly collapsed, he had to be helped by 2 people to stand up and almost 100% of pundits and analysts on Twitter are saying Yamasaki was crazy late.

Twitter is never wrong.

Edit: I see why you had a problem on the actual timing while he turtled.

Defending the whole time? He was getting nailed. It was only going one way. Thought it was late myself.

Except when they said Brexit and Trump couldnt possibly happen :pac:



Hope Artem laps up main event slot next week cant wait for it sound bloke deserves it for all the hidings hes taken to allow Conor become double champ..

I actually think he took a big leap forward in Belfast. He improved a solid 10% if not more. I give him a chance against Cub!

Jacare literally couldn't stand up and stay up without help. He wasn't "rocked" once, he was dropped twice and his legs had gone from under him. It was stopped far too late and ironically because it was so late, it actually looked early. Surely if 2 people need to hold you up, you can't fight on!

Gamebred

I half agree, if you stop it there we dont see any crazy comebacks,


He went to turtle by choice I'd of given it another few seconds personally.

I think waterson wins but I really hope they dont let her fight JJ if she wins. She will get torn up.

I think Wilson Reis is going to get the job done later with a 3rd Round submission. It might be just one of those nights and Dominick Cruz seems quietly confident in Wilson.

He will be tuned up in the clinch and spat out by DJ,imo of course.

The White Feather

I like both ladies but I think they would get eaten alive versus JJ

But then again I thought Jacare would beat Whittaker ....:pac:

Gaw Damn!!!!! that was lovely!

Great win for rose.

I actually ninja edited because I realised it came across a bit blunt

How about we're both right? Yamasaki was so late on the stoppage he ended up early?

Kirby

Even in Womens MMA....there are levels to this. Just shows how far away Page is.

Zero-Cool

****ing beaming!!!! I'm the only one to have Rose by sub as well :cool:

Gamebred

Surprised how one sided that was, volunteer to console Michelle if needs be....
