That wiretap saying the Cavs lost Paul George due to wanting pick protections is crazy. Top 5 sure, but lotto protected, wow. If they could have turned Love & a pick into George, gotta imagine Kyrie stays too. That team has a legit shot at beating GSW in my opinion. Definitely mows down the east.

He apparently punched someone from the Holland team in an exhibition game. Him and Griffin will now have something to bond over.

He already can't stay healthy, why risk it? A little shove/cussing and move on.

Name everyone he's beaten above 170 lbs.......... sorry but weight is a huge issue in fighting and Green has already demonstrated his ability to accurately kick opponents.

Dude, Green is a bball player. Conor is a trained fighter. That's the difference. If Green was a fighter than yeah he'd stand a chance.

Yeah, I know. I watch far more MMA than you do and I stand by my statement.

Love matter of fact statements like that when you have 0 idea how much the other guy knows or watches about just about anything.

Just saw Scal playing in the 3 on 3 for the first time on tv, decided to check out his stats. How is it possible for somone to play half the minutes in the 3 on 3 tourney games and average 2 ppg? And be a captain no less..... Goat status

Its easy when you've been to and watched hundreds of MMA events going back to Pancrase and Pride days. Did you watch UFC this weekend? How about Bellator last weekend? How about the new Legacy brand on AXS? Did you know Aldo fought in a JJ tourney this weekend and lost? I watch a ton of MMA and I'm happy to go back and forth with anyone on this topic and be confident that I know exactly what I am talking about.

I don't watch any of it. It's the fact you matter of factly post it as fact that you watch and know more about MMA than the other poster. You have no way at all of knowing that. You could say "I bet i watch and know more", but you can't just say "i watch far more than you."

But you just stated that Dray has "already demonstrated his ability to accurately kick opponents" as if he has had some kick of fighting experience.

I think the weight difference could potentially tilt the scales for Lesnar over a much more talented Jon Jones, but Draymond is not even a fighter. I mean, have you ever watched basketball players fight? They are terrible fighters, generally speaking.

London2Boston · Post #618 » by **London2Boston** » Mon Jul 31, 2017 9:58 pm

Draymond would crumble after like two leg kicks..like how is this even a debate?

my son at age 2 watches more lion guard than anyone on this site, but that doesn't mean he is qualified to determine who would win in a fight between Hyinas and Lions in the wild.

and by your own statement I was 100% accurate. You are commenting on it while knowing next to nothing about MMA.
