Two of the three people you mentioned were all forced to move up by the UFC because they couldn't make weight anymore, the other one was a big name who was sliding down the rankings who Dana tried to save.

Yeah, and they moved divisions to fight. Just like Johnson could easily move back up to 155...

Side splitting stuff. Showing more of that famous wit you keep alluding to.

Subcomandante Marcos · 13-10-2018 3:45pm

Unranked FW MJ who is 2 and 5 in his last 7, 4 and 1 of those being at LW where he lost his top 15 ranking, should move up to fight the number 2 ranked LW, if he beats an unranked FW team mate of the number 2 ranked LW, and your logic for justifying this is because two lads who can't put down the donuts and a lad who was getting murdered were all forced to move weights by the UFC?

Have a think about what you're saying.

That's it man. Keep digging, just dig up.

I'm not surprised you have that number.
I'd say stick at those classes for a while yet.

Yeah, one more loss and he has to go and queue Conor "if Artem goes, so do I". Bit of a crazy match making all the same.

Imagine Michael Johnsons delight when he got the call to fight Artem. Christmas coming up, easiest night at the office he will have had in years. I like Artem but jaysus.

Great chance for JOhnson - KO Artem - get on the mic talk **** about Artem/Conor and call out Conor - only way he is getting that payday.

But if it was such a joke, like you keep saying, why wouldn't you turn around and say "ah yeah I know MJ ever fighting McGregor is preposterous"

You doubled down and kept trying to apply logic which supported your claim that the fight could feasibly happen, when it's never going to happen in a million years. This is the issue.

Were all MMA fans, we don't need to be told that fighters fluctuate from weight class to weight class.

evolving tipperary · 13-10-2018 4:02pm

Fair enough. Point taken. I just couldn't believe anyone would say that the issue was weight and being in different divisions - two close divisions (not a heavyweight taking on a strawweight) could prevent a fight.

What do people think of this Martyn Ford development with KSW? Is it possible to move around a 6ft 8 and 320 frame at speed? (Why does part of me want to see DC destroy him? https://www.instagram.com/p/Bo1g0TBAems/?hl=en&taken-by=martynfordofficial )

cletus · 13-10-2018 7:02pm

They did the same thing with Pudz years ago. Freak show. The Polish like their fighters big, obviously

I'd highly doubt he has more than a minute's cardio in a very high output sport, he could be made to look very foolish if he doesn't get a fast ko.

Last 2 pages I've seen it suggested Conor should have fought Denis Siever (not even in UFC) instead of Khabib and should fight Michael Johnson next. It hurts to read at times

Who knows I saw Eddie Alvarez was ranked 5th at Lightweight last weekend at UFC 229 and he was not even under contract to UFC as his fights were fulfilled.
Apparently heading to One Championship now.

Yeah, typically people agree with wanting to see the best vs the best. Which is why everyone laughed at your McGregor vs Michael Johnson suggestion.

I'm surprised you're not suggesting DC vs Linton Vassell

I'd far rather see him rematch Jon Jones. That fight was early in his career and his first loss. He's improved so dramatically since then. I think it would be an interesting match now.

No. It has to be DC v the journalist CM Punk fought

Nobody actually said that. Seeing as you like being literal. I said "they are in different weight divisions". Which is an undeniable fact. Yet you still tried to say it was incorrect :pac:

Could a random FW fight a random LW. Of course, nobody suggests otherwise.

Article in the Sunday Independent today from Joe Brolly calling for UFC to be banned after 229. Likened it to slaves fighting to the death in Django unchained, implied it was a miracle no-one died, twists absolutely every single fight on the card into a warped depravity (even mentions that Waterson posed nude, for good measure) and of course had to mention Juao Carvalho. Utter tripe from the first word to the last.

Meanwhile a decent balanced article in the Sunday Business Post about how UFC has allowed itself to slide into a promotion that promotes and rewards increasingly terrible behavior.

Joe Brolly is a sanctimonious prick and an egomaniac. I highly doubt he knows anything about any sport apart from GAA. PS there have been several club GAA games this year that have descended into absolute brawls.

Clifnotes of the article

- coudnt believe choking was allowed and mcgregor was about to die from it, or slip into a coma for ever but for the grace of god. Oh and he could easily have had his trachea crushed, miracle this didn't happen.

- blood is the worst thing in the world and you'd have to be a savage to not be physically sick when you see it. Never mind brain trauma, blood is the real enemy, these people are barbarians

-women! Unbelievable, and a joke about poo. Savages.

-Basically all fighters and contests have the character and animosity between McGregor and khabib, they are all clueless savages and if we watch it we are only interested in it for it's deepraved savagery.

Oh and everybody who loves mma loved the riot and the bus stuff and loves everything about mcgregor and they only like ufc it because it's violent and angry and the want to see people get hurt.

Paully D · 14-10-2018 1:17pm

Thankfully, there’s never any violence in GAA.

There’s often the undertones of a real jealousy thing going on with Brolly and the hardened GAA crew regarding Conor and MMA.

They can’t stomach the fact that he’s a multi-millionaire for prize fighting whilst the GAA crowd train 5 nights a week and play a match once a week whilst getting nothing but hardship for it.

Most of them are losing money to play it FFS.

Dtp1979 · 14-10-2018 1:22pm

Ye but at least the GAA guys aren’t a bunch of savages locking themselves into a cage and fighting with no rules, to the death by any means necessary.

Brolly should be writing about what's going on up North in his own sport - a spate of incidents - including the latest:
