Khabibs standup is underrated. Islam is more patient and technical but Khabib just keeps up a relentless pressure because he has no fear of being hurt and no one could ever hurt him.

His stand up vs gaethje was way more impressive than what we just saw from Islam imo.

Nunes hadn't been vaccinated in mid-June, it appears. No word if she got jabbed in the interim. Probably not. Probably not enough time to get both either. LOL. What a **** idiot.

What's the point of any Nunes fight anyway? Nobody's touched her in years and nobody's likely to for a long time either. Just a parade of beatdowns.

Diego in BKFC makes my stomach churn. If there were a functioning athletic commission in a certain state, I don't think it would happen.

Some good middleweight fights scheduled. Pretty much all of the top of the division fighting each other.

Gastelum vs cannonier
Till vs Brunson
Costa vs Vettori

Izzy vs rob

If izzy wins I’m guessing he fights the winner of till Brunson if he remains a middleweight.

Would love nothing more than for this kickboxing lady with 4 fights to kick Kayla Harrison into a living death.

I don't think she landed a strike.

She head butted her hand a good 60 times.

Kayla is a beast. Legit goat level for female combat athletes.

Dunno how you could dislike her either.

She was some random kickboxer with 4 fights, of course she was going to get dominated that was the point of my post. Whose next, Cindy Dandois again?

Taylor Guardado. She's 3-1.

It is about time for Harrison to step up in competition, but even when she drops to 145 there's only like 5 decent fighters at her weight.

Wasn’t the girl a former world Muay Thai champion not just some random kick boxer?

She shill did **** though. All that reach advantage abs didn’t even throw a punch.

Edit- guess not. I thought they said that in the broadcast.

REDDzone · Post #1816 » by **REDDzone** » Fri Aug 20, 2021 3:17 pm

Not sure about muay thai, I see her pro kickboxing record is 2-1 which is what I was going by.

How did people see the kelvin v Cannonier fight? Seemed most had it Cannonier but I dunno I thought gastelum controlled a lot of the fight. I dunno, it was close.

The “total strike” count was a absurd, no way jarred outlanded him like 100-60

cowboyronnie · Post #1818 » by **cowboyronnie** » Mon Aug 23, 2021 12:00 am

^^^ I just skimmed the fight so certainly can't comment. I hate Canonier's style, the balled-fisted thing. Is he effective because he's just so strong?

Whereas Kelvin's combinations are glorious and beautiful.

That's all I have to contribute.

I'm pretty sure that Canonier is on some Q bent and believes in the spiritual power of crystals. So, uhhh.

REDDzone · Post #1819 » by **REDDzone** » Mon Aug 23, 2021 1:53 pm

Media scorecards had it like 17-1 or something in favor of Cannonier FWIW.

I did not realize that Ali forbid all his fighters from talking to Ariel. That's just nuts.

I'm not a fan of Kayla Harrison - as document on this page lol, but the fact that she's the only one who still does interviews with him, because she's a grown woman and does wtf she wants, makes me respect her for sure. Who works for who here?

Guessing Ali folds now that The MMA Hour is back.
