Romero had a completely unfair advantage missing weight by 3 fucking lbs. Both guys are huge for 185. Rockhold killed himself to make 185 while Romero didnt go the extra mile to do the same. Probably a tactic done on purpose. So now after being given an interim title shot coming off a loss, now Romero is being given a shot at the reall title after missing weight by 3 lbs. but then people say Conor gets preferential treatment.

_________________

The 3 lbs is unprofessional. But i dont call it a huge advantage. Rockhold was going to sleep +/- 3lbs. His style and the china just aint standing up to Mule hitters.

Anyway back the drawing board for him. You know all he has to do is fight 2 fights and Dana will give him a title shot anyway.

_________________

i thought Rockhold would try and take him down. that wouldve protected his chin plus a grueling battle on the ground wouldve served to drain that lil gas tank of Romeros. its hilarious that even professional corner men cant process simple shit like this. Rockholds ground and pound is 2nd to none.

_________________

I dont know man, Romero is an olympic freestyle medalist, you want to try and wrestle with that guy? I supposed he thought the print was to just stick with him, move, and wait for his power cell to fade.

Maybe Rockhold had some injuries on him that affected his gameplan. What I do know is that the style he's been employing doesnt hide his China very well. And he was moving forward okay at first until Romero got through and give him some worries, and it was backwards from then. Romero stalked him slow, which is smart, slipping and moving his head and mixed up his punches. Better use of his battery. We'll see how that works in the whitaker rematch.

_________________

that china wasnt gonna stand up to Romeros hands for 5 rds. i always envisioned Rockhold finishing a tired Romero on the ground. Rock has great stand up but always gets lazy and careless with his balance and footwork. Id like to see rematches with either Jacare or Weidman.

_________________

Losses with failed weight will always be tainted. It’s a shame really. Me, I probably would not fight a guy who missed weight by that much

Everybody remembers the great Castillo-Corrales battle, nobody ever mentions the rematch where Castillo missed weight by like 4 pounds and knocked Corrales the hell out in 4 rounds

yea i agree. maybe not a fight altering advantage, but clearly an unfair advantage. and in these high stakes fights, every advantage big or small can go a long way.

_________________

Yea the shit definitely aint ideal. But rockhold fought like a doggone idiot...so i find it difficult to think twice. Not enough depth in the division for him to not get a rematch.

So Cyborg, while shes been on the back and forth about the Nunes fight, has been throwing bread rolls at Megan Anderson, lol who shes sought a fight with, but for unknown reasons scratched from ufc214 last July.

Apparently the unknown reason had something to do with Visa issues, so Cyborg basically berated her on twitter for not having her personal affairs in order.....and accused her of working illegally in the US...and attempting to stage a marriage so she could stay in the country... and she tagged US Citizenship and Immigration Services.

If there has ever been a series of events that proves that Cyborg is a chick, this is surely it. Nothing but Drama, estrogen fuled Drama. Shes well off of the testosterone, shes gotta be.

i can't wait for Nunes to tee off on that overrated ducking ass PED infested disgrace.

A little, but Dana dont show him any fuckin respect. It's an Anti Mighty Mouse situation. Woodley only fighting the #1's that Dana puts in front of him, and Dana shits on him for it.

But I dont know why Woodley wants to fight a guy whos been away since Conor stopped him. Not a good look, Tyron.

_________________

Conor ain’t stop him but nate wants to fight him too apparently.


On another note, just seen an ad for HFC 3 the video game, with Conor on the cover again. Pretty gay. Dude ain’t fought in forever. Get off his dick UFC. I get why he’s on there, but they have other guys they can prompt up there, not really, but how about multiple champs from here and then, or giving other fighters a chance to shine.

I’m boycotting that shit anyway until they make a fuckin Boxing game

Woodley-Nate is such a terrible fight. i dont even see how it sells well and both guys would want top shelf A side money. Its a nonsensical fight on all levels.

_________________

Nate is hot shit it will sell decently with a good card.

What about the fight, you don’t want to see it? Why? Does Nate not stand a chance? I haven’t seen woodley in a while, Dana says he’s boring but he’s been winning, Nate is hardly ever in a boring fight

idk if Nates fire is still burning and ive never seen it burn without Conor as his A side, so idk how much of a hot shit Nates going to be when paired with a boring guy like Woodley. And while anyone can get got in an MMA fight, i dont like Nates chances at all against Woodley.

Artem Lobov, friend and training partner of Conor, thinks the UFC booked him for 223 just to bring Conor in the building in hopes of maybe adding some theatrics after the Nevermind-Ferguson main event. Or Conor could simply leave the building after the Lobov fight.

_________________

Is Conor done at this point?

Conor is trying to bait Floyd into risking his head in the octagon, and has Nevermind-Ferguson as a more realistic back up plan. Or since he wont be bound by the title, he could now very well come back vs Nate then challenge for the belt. he will fight again and we all cant wait.

_________________

Lets forget the Floyd crap. How long can conor be out of the octagon before shit starts to go bad for him?

I give Conor shit because he has work to do, and because I dont want to see his talent squandered by his own volition. But he deserved some time off after hitting the lottery. He needs to abandon that and not wait on a Floyd fight. No doubt in my mind though that he'll find the winner of Ferguson Nevermind, the only hurdle as pointed to by Austin and others is for these guys to actually fight, no cancellations, no injuries, no weight problems.

Please tell me you saw this tweet from Covington about Mike Perry over the weekend.

“Hey @PlatinumPerry, maybe having your ratchet horse faced girlfriend as your head trainer isn’t the smartest idea on planet earth,” he wrote. “But hey, when you’re the product of cousins f–king in Ocala (Florida) how strong can your decision making skills be?” he tweeted.

THEM's FIGHTIN' WORDS!!!
