2701257, Nunes vs Holm & Jones vs Santos | UFC 239
Posted by Boogie Stimuli, Sat Jul-06-19 09:36 AM
One of the best co-main and main combos in a minute.

Will Jones dominate against another guy who everyone thinks has a great shot against him?

Who will prevail in the battle of the Rousey Killers?

People think Thiago has a great shot vs Jones?

Look in MMA we’ve seen anyone have a shot but Jones is a HUUUGE favorite and no experts are picking him

Yeah that's not just the case in MMA, it's the fight game in general.

"experts" ... lol
The vast majority of fighters I've seen make a pick have picked Jon Jones, but they usually begin with "Santos has a shot if he (insert game plan)." Others have straight out picked Santos (Latifi, Hermansson, etc.) Most think it will be a hard fight for both guys.


2701307, best fight on the card might be masvidal and askren.

2701393, I enjoy Ben's shit talking
Posted by ShawndmeSlanted, Sat Jul-06-19 10:30 PM
I also enjoyed him getting beat
2701394, Nunes is that chick out here man

She had Holly so damn tentative with the feints after feeling that power. Just flinching all over the place... made it easy to set her up for that kick.
Damn

She's on some real legendary shit right now. Stopped Rousey, Tate, Cyborg, and now Holm. Greatest woman to do it.
2701397, Man that was a winnable fight for Santos

That leg issue fucked him up tho. Jon was super cautious as always, but he was missing a lot when he tried to mix it up with unexpected shots like the random flying knee or the spinning high kick. That elbow that floored Thiago was nice tho. Even with Santos on a bad knee, Jon didn't wanna go for the kill... says a lot about Santos. Overall, I found the main event lackluster, but the under card more than made up for it.
2701398, That Blachowicz KO of Rockhold got overshadowed...

but it was nice. I was gonna talk about it, but then that Masvidal massacre happened.
2701432, Yo, this might be the best thing I’ve heard all year...
