UFC 205

Anyone looking forward to this?
Fucking badass card...Gonna be awesome...

My picks for the title matches:

• Alvarez
• Woodley
• Jędrzejczyk

 

McGregor - Alvarez will be awesome. Alvarez is like Nate Diaz in a lot of ways: badass ground game, never say die mentality - he's going to test McGregor for sure.

You're right, Woodley is a beast. Dude is lightning fast and wields ungodly power in his right hand. But Wonderboy is like a character out of Blood Sport - champion kick boxer. He can KO guys with kicks from out of nowhere.

The first title fight will probably be the most fun, IMO. It's the women's straw-weight title bout between Joanna Jędrzejczyk and Karolina Kowalkiewicz, both Polish women. Joanna Jędrzejczyk is one mean girl, I enjoy watching her fights as she is tough as nails, and like all true champions takes fighting very personally.

 

8:30 PM but not until UFC 407

 

Haha...not really man. CM Punk's big draw was that he came from the WWE and went straight into the UFC. It was kind of a freak fight, an experimental money maker for the UFC. Can this guy with no real MMA background compete with top level martial artists? What will happen? Well, we found out. CM Punk got his ass absolutely handed to him within the first 3 minutes of the first round by 24 year old Mickey Gall. What can Punk really do at this point? Train for another 2 years and then get his ass beat again? He's done. There is no way forward for him.

 

Sure. He'll probably get beaten there though, to be fair. He's 36 years old and has only 2 years of MMA training. But the reality is that's where he will stay. It would be like any random 36 year old with a good level of physical fitness trying to get into the NFL or NBA. It just ain't gonna happen. Top level athletes who compete at the professional level have been on that path since their teenage years at least. They are the survivors of a brutal process of natural selection which weeds out all but the strongest of competitors. Sure, it makes for good entertainment having a 36 year old try and come in the UFC and be successful, but the decades of work just isn't there.

But Mickey Gall is one to watch. Brown belt in BJJ at 24, solid striking. I want to see how far he goes.

 

that shit was nasty...four punch combo. time to sleep...
