UFC Fight Night 82 Live Discussion - 2/6/16

[Left Hook Larry]

Please take a second and tweet to Dana White and the UFC about @Stephen Thompson getting a title shot

i think thompson can beat lalwer but i think condit and maia beat thompson

 

[Treadstone06]

That fight reminded a little of Anderson/Griffin.

Here we go with the loss of muscle excuse, they could have given Hendricks a fat man suit and he still would have went face first into the mat

I agree. I don't see why Woodley was ever promised a title shot.

OK Hendricks pulled out of their fight but come on you've gotta earn that shit

 

[sparkuri]

That Thompson beats Lawler

I don't know why they're making excuses for him when he's going to have a million excuses on his own

What are you talking about?

Lmao amen

Robbie is a beast but if Wonderboy fights like that against him it will be the same outcome as tonight. I can't see a welterweight beating Thompson with a performance like that. Defends the takedown from a great wrestler and then proceeds to light Hendricks the fuck up.

 

[teamquestnorth]

Thompson vs Woodley or Thompson vs Lawler. I'm OK with either one.

What are you talking about?

Stann and company man Anik was saying the lose of muscle possbile hurt Hendricks tonight

 

[SC MMA MD]

very cool. bet there's gonna be some excitement back in the gym.

Indeed. I expected Stephen to finish Big Rig tonight, but it is great to see it actually happen.

It isn't hard to believe, he looked considerably smaller than he ever has. Might be time for the 5'7 Hendricks to head down to LW.

I need to see him stuff Askren repeatedly before I'm ready to say I can't see any ww beating Thompson...

 

[Harold_Howard_The_Duck]

That said, Wonderboy looked INCREDIBLE on the feet tonight.

He looked tiny Wonderboy dwarfed him.

He got beat simply beat

 

[dacofty]

Please stop talking at Phil brooks. He does not have a similar record as hall, hall has manned up and fought 2 times Phil brooks has fought 0 times zetothefuckingro

I was thinking the same thing the whole fight. He looked tiny in there. There is no way he would go to LW, he'd go to MW before LW.

 

[BeardOfKnowledge]

He got beat simply beat

Has anyone denied that Wonderboy looked amazing? Hell, I think I was the first one to say how good he looked during the fight. Doesn't mean he didn't dwarf Hendricks.

I like Askren but he needs to realize that when he fights guys outside the top 50 his whole career he can't talk shit.

I can't think of a good reason he can't make LW if he keeps himself walking around 180. Honestly, he likely stays at WW and is Conor's first fight.

 

[IschKabibble]

Wow. Just saw the Mickey Gall highlight. No way CM Punk goes through with it. He's not going to risk his reputation, get embarrassed and let a young up-and-comer make a name off of his celebrity. I'll make a $20 paypal bet that the fight never happens. CM Punk never fights professionally in UFC.
