When Chandler was walking into them shots and basically asking for more near the end was mental. The division is unreal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tegis Posted November 7, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted November 7, 2021 Gaethje Chandler was the fight to end fights, but the star of last night Fat boy did good And Alex Pereira arrived in style 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoshVilla Posted November 8, 2021 Share Posted November 8, 2021 Brilliant card. Gaethje v Chandler was a FOTY contender. Top end of the Lightweight division is unreal. Rose did just about enough, but could have gone either way. Ground control at the end probably swung it. Usman is just so sharp, he looks unbeatable at the moment. If Edwards beats Masvidal (Edwards is the better fighter, but Masvidal is awkward) then he should be next in line, though sadly I don't see him beating him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see anyone beating Usman currently. Even though he did take a few shots off Colby, he doesnt swell or cut. Must be depressing for an opponent seeing his face after 5 rounds and he looks fresh as a daisy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Silvers Posted November 8, 2021 Share Posted November 8, 2021 Chimaev is the only one that stands a chance against Usman, he needs to fight a top 10 fighter asap, then maybe one more if he walks through them, I think he will, then let him at Usman.

Round 1 of the Holloway - Rodriguez was a thing of beauty, some of the shots / angles / movement were sublime. Ended being a brutal encounter like JG-MC, both contenders for fight of the year. Would love to see all 4 do it again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brumstopdogs Posted December 12, 2021 Share Posted December 12, 2021 Thought it was another event that delivered in bucket loads. Those last 2 fights just wow! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshVilla Posted December 12, 2021 Share Posted December 12, 2021 Gutted for Poirier, he was winning the stand up but Oliveira is just such a clever fighter. His grappling game is off the charts. Amazing that Pena came out with the win considering that Nunes was toying with her first round. If she'd have carried on attacking the lead leg it could have been a different fight. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im trying to think of a card that delivered like this one. There are outliers on fight-nights but this PPV was just spectacular. 9 finishes, spectacular KOs, slick submissions and the upset of.....**** it, how many years? The guy who threw 350 grand on Nunes must be thrilled. Cody, another in the long line of "dropping wheight-classes is generally a bad idea" 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for the Nunes/Pena fight, I thought it showed they both had awful cardio. That 2nd round they both looked like extras from The Walking Dead, flat footed, shuffling about with wild slow motion swings. Completely gassed after 6mins. Props to Pena though, I do like to see an underdog win. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almost like she had gotten so used to not taking damage so she completely tensed up and panicked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Silvers Posted December 14, 2021 Share Posted December 14, 2021 The thing with Nunes looking spent though is that she's always moving forwards and when someone's shots are connecting it bloody takes it out of you, Pena's jab was immense and some of the heavy shots will make you look like you've had enough. All that said, being so much better then everyone else, does Nunes even plan for 25mins? Nunes hits like a bloke, all opponents look like they've gone 12 rounds in no time.

Every month there is a cracking title fight, I know Dana has his haters but credit where credit is due. Boxing has been soiled by dodgy supplements, dodgy judges and worst of all, Youtubers.
