I can't remember when i been this excited for a card. Prelims start in one and a half hours. --- Well done Kara-France!
LOL wha I didn't finish watching Sterling's fight but he was getting his ass whooped by the 3rd round. Gonna watch it again...
Look Chael I already called it -> 3:1 for Adesanya was just too much And that was stupid scoring. 2x 10:8. gimme a break. Yes Jan won, but in what manner. He won by taking to the ground a 185 pound guy, while he himself was 220-225 during that fight. Israel has fought the more perfect fight. I have no idea why in the middle of the fifth he suddenly decided to go for histrionics instead of defending takedown.
Yan barged into him like a rugby player, very difficult to defend. At least we got the full 5 rounds. The prelims were good, Kara-France showed incredible heart /skill, i loved that fight, enjoyed the Cruz one too and the Yan /Sterling one.
If Stipe wins, he retires. But what if he loses? Along with Velasquez and Minotauro, Stipe is easily the most conditioned heavy in the history. Perhaps not the strongest, or fastest or most talented. Stipe seems to me like just the optimal enough combination of raw strength from any position, speed, agility, durability and intelligence, without perhaps(??) exceeding in any of these. I still feel like he's the most physical guy in the heavy history. It's kinda hard to explain without writing 10k words article...
I've not heard he's retiring is he wins, John Jones is taking on the winner i hear, who looks incredible right now at HW. I enjoyed Stipe's 2nd fight against DC especially those body shots he pulled outta the bag, and i agree Stipe has many fans the boy in work i talk ufc to most is huge Stipe fan. But sure Noisiv, all i've heard is Jones gets the winner, i've got Stipe personally vs Francis, i think his fight IQ is too much for the big guy.
