What happened at UFC 238?

Here are my picks

Henry Cejudo vs. Marlon Moraes

I got this fight right. Cejudo did weather that storm and I knew that he had to put some pressure on Moraes. I just thought that it would go longer. It looks like Moraes wilts under pressure-phonebooth fighting. It was right-hooks and knees from Cejudo, as he got the win. AND I love Cejudo’s little gimmicks, the dude was called boring, but now the man is fun and smooth, and a fantastic fighter. He called out some OLD folks in his post fight speech though. He should’ve called out Ricky Simon and Cory Sandhagen, if he wanted to be legit. read more

Here’s how it turned out

Henry CejudovsMarlon Moraes

These are very worthy challengers for the Bantamweight title. I think Cejudo beat Dillashaw fairly-squarely when the two fought, even though that dude was jacked-up on EPO. I think Moraes would whoop Dillashaw’s ass no matter what steroid he was on. Moraes always looked to me, like aliens made him in a lab. Anyway, I think Cejudo will win this one, because Cejudo has terrific wrestling. I think he’ll have to weather some storms though, but I think he gets it done in 25 minutes. A lot a grapple-fucking read more

Fury FC 32: Round by Round results

Fury FC 32 was in Humble, TX – a suburb of Houston. They had great amateurs and good pro fights. The promotion is starting to travel all around the Southwest and is gaining a lot of popularity.

Rey Trujillo vs Daniel Pineda – Featherweight

Round 1

Pineda takes Trujillo down, beats the hell out of him and rides him around the ring to get the TKO victory. 🚩Pineda wins by TKO

Pineda knew exactly what what he was doing. This was a world-class professional ground beating. Pineda easily transitioned from RNC to Arm-triangle, to hell-bows. He’s needs high level fights at high level organizations. read more

How to know if you’re a casual MMA fan

How to know if you’re a casual MMA fan

I don’t watch a lot of soap operas, but when I was little, I couldn’t ignore the fact that there was a doll that came to life on “Passions” – and I know a lot of people could not couldn’t ignore it either, because it was a very popular show. MMA is getting to be a little like that. People like popular talking points, people like drama. Okay here’s another example to get my point across – So I was hanging out at a local bar that I go by after work and I was talking to the bartender, and I was asking her if she liked MMA and she said, “no, I don’t like MMA but, I like Conor McGregor, because he talks a lot of shit”, and I said, “You don’t like his karate style? You don’t like his left hand? You don’t like how quick he is? Do you only like his talking game? and she said “Yes, I just like how he disrespects people and the whole back and fourth.” She went on to tell me that her favorite pro-wrestler was The Undertaker, and that she doesn’t really like wrestling either, but she enjoys the pageantry of it all – This is what the casual fan is. Back when I was 14, I didnt care about about Soap Operas, I didnt care anything about the story, all that I was focused on, is that a doll named Timmy came to life. read more

Rose NamajunasvsJessica Andrade

Namajunas has fantastic coaching. I think the coaching contingent at her camp has some of the best coaching for females in MMA (periodt), so I think she’ll be prepared. I have a feeling that Rose will want to play a little Jiu Jitsu with Andrade at some point. Jedrzejczyk wrote the book on how to beat Andrade, I think Rose will follow it

Jared CannoniervsAnderson Silva

Cannonier looks good at 185 and I think he’ll continue to look good. Anderson Silva can be a tricky fight for anyone, but you have to not let the spider get into your head. I see this one going the distance and Cannonier taking it. – His great coaching will get him through read more
