He's just too old, he was 35/36 when he first started training to do any kind MMA training and is 39/40 now. It's a young man's sport unless you juice to the gills like a few have done. Took a lot of guts to do it and he deserves respect but he should walk away now and find something else in life that not only makes him happy but doesn't involve getting beaten up.
 
What a card that was!

Yoel Romero is one scary guy. Fair play to Whittaker ‘he may look weak but he hits like a truck!’ Great fight and a fair result given Romero didn’t make weight or even try to fight in round 1.

Some good fights on the rest of the card as well. Surely that’s the end for Arlovski (although he did well) and Overreem now.

CM Punk as well needs to give it up, he looked weak against a boxer. He’s as brave as a lion like but as they said incommentary bravery just gets you more beat up these days.

I dont like Colby, it’s like the Diaz brothers they have to talk trash to try and generate interest in a not very interesting fighting style. Someone should have told RDA to stop going for the takedown and clinching.

Difference for me is, the Diaz brothers are genuine weirdos. You can tell. And, despite it being used as a gimmick, they’re game for a scrap with anyone anywhere (a sanctioned fight maybe not, though). Covington is clearly just doing a McGregor/Sonnen/Trump impression without the charisma or comedic timing.

Good fighter though, the boy.

course mate, cant argue its working for him, but you telling me he pulls off bad guy? i can see its a part he is playing, keeps getting compared to pro wrestling type 'heels' whereas some fighters in the past are genuine d***kheads

all seems very rehearsed for me
 
See Holloway has been pulled from 226 this weekend. Was watching one of the interviews he did with Bisping and Bisping pretty much picks up on the fact all is not well, before it all comes out. Holloway looks in bad shape, hopefully he makes a full recovery.

That was one of the most anticipated fights on the card, it's all about the big guns now.

Someone checked Dana's blood pressure yet? :eek:

 
Trying to think of a way McGregor beats Khabib but struggling to be honest.

Very much like Mayweather/Pacquaio, where one style is tailor made for another.
