Official MMA discussion thread pt 2: UFC 268 in MSG Usman vs Colby 2, Rose vs Zhang 2

He ripped off his fighters?

He gets them to agree to whatever the UFC puts forth. Also fyi I'm an Ali hater not sure if you know of his past and he is well documented of his support for Trump on twitter.

Khabib too?

There are other managers out there if they are dissatisfied. My guess is that he might not fight for every last dollar but he probably keeps them busy and making money. Dana is a ball-buster when is comes to that.

I would say Khabib is underpaid for being undefeated and having a whole country and the Muslim world behind him

Yuri vs Bones

[NoStatsGuy]

that was a great showing for the female strawweights.. man rose is so clean with the striking

[Clyde_Style]

Really good fight. Glad Rose won. I had her at 29-28.

She made the right adjustment with her footwork to avoid the previous outcome. She had to keep her distance a little longer so she was not able to pop as hard, but she still outlanded Andrade. She had to fight a very technical fight and she got it done.

Nice shiner girl

I'm guessing that would have helped Andrade tonight. Rose looked a little gassed, but that may also be due to Andrade landing several big shots. But Rose's stamina was good in her 5 round championship victories so I guess you never know until you get to the championship round. But she took as much punishment against Joanna so maybe Rose's battery was higher in those fights. I think the great fighters have that extra willpower to get through late rounds when they just feel off that night. You can't always feel perfect every time you step in the octagon.

excited for this next fight, Aldo cannot be taken lightly. I actually have him winning. Only 33 though it seems he is closer to 40 lol

[Clyde_Style]

Somebody is going to get hurt in this fight

[Clyde_Style]

Aldo just laid on the ground and invited Yan in and got hammered. That's not strategy. Seemed very lazy really

[NoStatsGuy]

that body shot hurt, aldo needed a break lol

//edit

thats an aldo round tho. i have it 1-1 (19-19)

[Clyde_Style]

Aldo should kick relentlessly. It would win him the fight. Otherwise, he gets flat footed and allows Yan to dial in with the bombs

[NoStatsGuy]

yup agree, aldo since a couple fight just kinda stopped using his legkicks like he used to. its his most dangerous weapon, and sometimes he just seems to forget about it

And his body work the first two minutes of the third round was very good. Then he almost stopped and Yan probably stole the round from him

[Clyde_Style]

So does Yan KO Aldo in the 5th?

[Clyde_Style]

Aldo is giving up

[NoStatsGuy]

god damn what a mauling

[Clyde_Style]

Youth was a factor. Aldo looks like an older fighter now. He won't contend again.

Yan was good, but Aldo looks done.

[Jscratch1200]

That was tough to watch after awhile.

[Clyde_Style]

That leg sweep by Yan was pretty slick

[NoStatsGuy]

what do we say about the stoppage? too late?
