UFC 199 (6/4): Weidman vs Rockhold, Cruz vs Faber

[Shaazzam]

And something like half of his losses have been to guys that got busted for doping, or were doping legally.

[REDDzone]

He's a very good fighter, but I don't see all this extra power you guys are talking about. Rockhold overextended himself badly and paid the price. I think he finished Cung Le 2-3 years ago, otherwise its been a really long time since he put anyone away.

It had me questioning Rockhold's chin, power normally doesn't appear from no where (absent PEDS) but chins can go and Rockhold trains at AKA... Though likely just good timing.

He's never had that one punch knockout power and what I saw wasn't that power. It was perfect combinations hitting with perfect precision and timing. Bisping did a great job on capitalising on Rockhold over-extending himself and not taking Bisping seriously.

This was similar to Weidman/Silva 1 in my books.

[REDDzone]

I seriously think they are going to do Hendo/Bisping next. Bisping stated Rockhold 100% wouldn't be his first defense, and Weidman was implying on social media that Bisping passed up a fight with him. I guess it leaves Jacare, but with people like Rogan promoting Hendo/Bisping II, I could say it happening.

Could you imagine?

[Jasen777]

Could you imagine?

Neither guy is a top 5 middleweight, IMO.

Agreed. Although either can beat any MW on any given night. Same with ViTRT probably.

[Headliner]

It would be a legacy fight, and prob Hendon last fight win or lose.
Either way, i'd expect Bisping to win it.

It would be interesting. Hendo being champ would be a really cool story...then he'd fight Jacare.

If you have Fight Pass and haven't yet seen Reyes vs. Kim, go watch it immediately. Probably the fight of the year so far.

Just watched it now. Holy Hell. Shades of Forrest-Bonnar or Gatti-Ward.

Neither guy speaks English, so I don't know if anyone was familiar with their personality, but there was no difference in-ring between that and Forrest-Bonnar.

No attempt at defense.

[cowboyronnie]

Just watched Strickland-Breese from the early prelims as well, which was two dudes really masterful at striking. Super technical.

The decision was ridiculous, mind you. Strickland was moving forward but also eating body kicks crushing.
