UFC Fight Night 156 Live Discussion - 8/10/19

I believe so, but I’ve never watched a Valor FC card. I think it is similar to the Bare Knuckle FC cards that have been occurring recently. Striking oriented, no ground grappling. Clinches allowed.

@jason73 is this Ken’s first event?

yes and i am assuming his last

Man this white guy is one big hombre. You can't teach size.

Im not suprised kens trying to get your money upfront.

Mark my words. That will be the biggest shitshow in combats sports. And we know how fucked combat sports are

The biggest shitshow in combat sports was when you fought your dad in the main event of a local ammy card at the Broward College Omni Center

 

[madmav]

Who

 

[Lukewarm Carl]

I can't remember Barzola ever being in a fight where he wasn't going wide open...

I also can't really remember anything of note happening in one of his fights.

 

[megatherium]

I had the pleasure of visiting Montevideo back in '78 after the world cup. What a great city.

Good for UFC to finally fly the cage down their.

He tapped to strikes

 

[Silverball]

If Moffett had listened to his corner’s advice, this decision might’ve been different.

 

[megatherium]

Inca power!

 

[madmav]

now a sacrifice for the Sun Gods

When I was still watching mma full time I remember Pettis looking unbeatable.

I'm surprised to see it wasn't so.

 

[Rambo John J]

bucket list style

Hot and cold, he had his good run but hes gone up and down in weight quite a bit lately, with mixed results. Always exciting to watch that hasn't changed.

Most recently, at 170 his Ko on Wonderboy was beautiful.

He was very one-dimensional and very beatable, even when he was champion.

I'm surprised he became as successful as he did before getting exposed by a decent wrestler. I guess after he lost to Guida they gave him favorable matchups.

The KO was beautiful but he was getting his ass kicked for all but 10 seconds of that fight.

He's undersized for 170 but that won't matter in his next fight because so is his opponent.

 

[Robbie Hart]

Did n8 just say he’s fighting the wheaties box dude?

 

[Limpy]

Let's go

You’re on!

 

[Hwoarang]

Rodolfo Vieira in the UFC. This is awesome crazy. Legit one of the best grapplers on the planet.

100% agree, Wonderboy was tuning him up. Agree again, like you said after he got carpeted he was protected to the Wheeties box a bit.

Still gave Tony fits not long ago, hes always good to watch, skilled everywhere.

I guess they might have jumped the gun with the whole Wheaties box thing eh
