UFC on FOX 18 -- JOHNSON v BADER (Jan 30)
- Thread starter Madrox
- Start date
wish LBOP did a live show for this.
I think DC exposed the blueprint to beat Rumble: wrestling/GnP. Don't trade shots with him, just grind him down and gas him out. The crazy part is Rumble actually is a good wrestler, but doesn't use it consistently. He's in love with landing that one big shot, barely even jabs. If he comes in tonight setting up his shots, defending the TD, and pressuring Bader, it's a wrap for Bader. Otherwise, I see this fight looking like Bader/Evans.
Sage Northcutt.
Don't know what to make of him yet

Good timing.
That Kovalev v Pascal II coming on afterward

Of course, Northcutt's opponent is short notice.
2nd round Barbarino with 8 days notice is giving Northcutt a show
The way they're spoon-feeding this kid is a shame, borderline sham. He's gotten some sketchy calls and handpicked opponents... but this dude is giving him the business tonight. Even though he's looking doughy soft and huffing wind already in the second round. A full camp, I don't doubt the beard dude might whoop his ass. Sage looks like trash.
You know i blame the UFC for Marketing and pushing this kid too fast.
LOLOLOL & Sadness
want UFC to stop fucking with these kids futures for ratings and commercials

Bottom line: the kid wasn't ready, period. He panic tapped. That choke wasn't going to finish him, but he was finished. I think getting beat up and cut on the floor shook him. The choke just gave him an excuse to throw in the towel. He has NO killer instinct.
i turned my head and noticed that.....wowWell there you go BAM BAM
he applied a 50% choke and ol dude tapped fast
Dos Anjos will destroy Conor.....nuff said
Dude needs to stop bullshittin' and go get that Abercrombie & Fitch modeling contract. This MMA shit ain't for him.
If he fights his fight, he should. Aldo could have destroyed him too, but let Conor's mindfuckry gas him up to rush in like a fool. RDA should learn from Also's mistake and handle his biz.
tru words
Ol dude got taken to the short end of the pool and drowned.
He gonna have to learn on how to be mentally tough
and weather the storm, when there is adversity & pressure
applied to him in the octagon.
He still young in his mma career; so he can make some
grappling and takedown defense adjustments.
2nd round will be something to see
In his own way, he pulled a Rousey (on a much smaller scale, of course). Rousey got hit--HARD AS FUCK--and it busted up her face. She mentally checked out on the spot. Once dude drew blood from Sage and smothered him on the floor--where his flashy, rangy moves were nullified--he mentally tapped out. I'll give Cono McGregor one thing: of all the UFC fighters on the hype train, he seems to be the most mentally tough. Probably because unlike the others, he's tasted defeat before.
Alcantara looking really slow and off balance out there.
Ben's going to go full retard and finish him.
He is on herky jerky looking dude, especially at that size. He better not fall for that southpaw shit. Josh can stun him with a jab.
I like Barnett, but Rothwell might squeek a win.
