Both also have good ground games but would rather stand. C.Anderson has an unbelievable chin and great stand up and wrestling and Blachowitz has good hands so should also be a good fight and as you said he lost the 1st fight so he knows he has to win this one. I thought Andersons last fight against the up and coming Johhny Walker was gonna be a good one but Anderson looked great and TKO'd him in the 1st round.
It's one of those cards that aren't the best looking on paper but those are usually the cards that have the best fights.
I'm actually looking forward to the next card cause i wanna see that P.Felder vs Dan Hooker which i would think will be another stand up war.
UFC 248 now is on another level as long as Romero makes weight. That whole card is great on paper.
I don't know about anyone else but me and my buddies are really missing FS1 having the fights. This streaming crap sucks. I hate when it goes blurry cause of course we like to be our own judges during fights but when it goes blurry of course you can't see if a strike was significant or not. It has gotten better but still happens once in a while. Also miss being able to watch the post fight show right there on FS1 after the fights at 1:00am. We use Firestick and it's just annoying all the buffering and crap you gotta go through to get to them. The whole thing annoys us but ESPN is paying the UFC so much damn money to have them that we're pretty sure it's something we'll just have to deal with for a while.
That Felder vs Hooker fight is gonna be flames. Those two are gonna scrap and managed to turn it into a legit dislike for one another. It's one of those fights where I really like both guys and that makes it hard for me to pick a winner. But it's got FotN written all over it.
Agreed on 248 too, not a single bad fight on the main card and the prelim has a couple of really fire bouts.
I've been using the app through Roku and I have to stop the event and restart it two or three times per event because it gets choppy. Definitely a frustrating thing to have the fight skip a bit or the screen go muddy, especially when we're paying for the app on top of buying the PPV.
Also on that Gus tip, my brother used to always feel Gus won that first match. Jones in a rematch is a completely different animal though, I'm betting he'd come in heavier and actually make similar adjustments to the Gus rematch speaking of. Dom probably won't be able to set up the anglular movement that set up his leg kicks if Jones makes him come forward. I really want to see how Adesanya handles Romero before I speak on the Jones superfight. I want to see how his wrestling holds up, I think he's a legitimate threat to Jones depending on how he wears the 205...he's got the frame for it but then you'd think Max has the frame for 155 too.
That's a shame. It's always nice to find a woman here who can hang. (This is like a segment off a Curb Your Enthusiasm episode. "The dude that uses a female username online."
