Looks like Robbie Lawler is fighting a giant

It is ridiculous that the biggest promotion with one of the stars of the sport has to ask to get a head pick.

Thats a dream matchup right there

Autecher · 15-02-2019 7:55pm

Actually from looking at Poirier's twitter he seems to be hinting at him & Ferguson being on the 236 card so I think Max is just having some fun with it.

Any further discussion regarding Fight Night and Cain vs Ngannou setup a thread and have it there. No one wants to be spoiled on the results here.

Felder suffered a punctured lung last night seems to be fine though

Collapsed lung, different, doesn't involve bone poking through the lung, hurts lick **** but easily fixed.

I knew that. Don't know why I said puncture. How did he finish the fight with that

In a lot of pain I'd say. I had it happen after a heavy clash in a rugby match when I was a younglet, wasn't very nice, tears were unashamedly shed.

Jasus no discussion about Big Frans win over Sea level Cain. Has to be a title shot or stipe rematch for Francis next.

There was as no event thread with it being Monday. And no spoilers allowed here. I'm guess it's ok now.
It's kinda a tricky one. When I watch it first, I thought he was clipped with an uppercut. When I seen him land in a W, I said "there goes his MCL".
But now it's not clear if his blew because he fell, or if he fell because his knee blew.

Also Ice Cream Kron. Delicious

Has there been any update on the knee? Ngannou showing real promise out there again. He's really turning things around after the Stipe/Lewis fight.

Would getting clipped not be the better outcome in terms of Cains career? All fighters can get clipped and lived to fight another day. Not many can keep fighting when their body struggles to last a full minute.

Gamb!t · 19-02-2019 12:06pm

Cain is certainly very unlucky with injuries which is a shame as he was some fighter.

They needed to give Cain an extra day to get injured.

Looks like he took full advantage!

Paully D · 19-02-2019 12:23pm

If you go back and look at the open workout, right at the end Cain’s knee buckles, he shakes his head and immediately waves off the workout.

He definitely wasn’t right, but Ngannou certainly connected with the uppercut to finish him.

EagererBeaver · 19-02-2019 12:34pm

Yeah, he got clocked. You can see his head snap violently.

Also, given how much he screamed when the knee went out from under him, he seemed pretty mobile afterwards. A funny one.

derfderf · 19-02-2019 12:34pm

Cain wasn't out after the uppercut. He reached straight for his knee as he fell. He was going down anyway, but he might have been able to recover if the knee didn't pop.
One of my favourites ever since he smashed Brock, it was tough to watch.

xckjoo · 19-02-2019 12:48pm

I don't think it really matters if it was the knee or a knockout to anyone but Cains team. Ngannou finished what was in front of him pretty decisively and that's all you can ask in a fight. Looks like he's well over his yips now. Looking forward to seeing what he brings to HW going forward.

TBH I wasn't impressed with Cain for the ~20s of action we saw in the match. He didn't look to be implementing much of a gameplan. Hopefully he's fit to fight again and we get to see if he has more to offer.

Serious amount of thumps in Bam Bam v Luque. Some fight

If Cains knee went while he was standing the finished was nothing to do with Fran. Which is the argyenebt a side are making.

But I don't that's what happened. I think a shot blipped him for a second. His weight drop, and his knee either popped on the way down or when he landed.

He landed like a child with wonky legs.

I got worried when he attempted a few head kicks tbh. Should have been spamming low singles.

in fairness an interim is warranted here....but i dunno if style bender should be in there

xtal191 · 19-02-2019 11:06pm

Def don't think Adesanya deserves a shot yet, he might've possibly had one of the easiest runs to a UFC title shot I've ever seen

Disagree really, Romero is coming off a loss and missed weight in his last fight. The only other option is Jacare, who Gastelum has fought and beat.

This is the fight to make. Adesanya is probably the most exciting propsect in the UFC at the moment.
