See gracie vs kimo. See gracie vs a prime shamrock. Comparing going up in weight in boxing and mma is completely different.

You make a point but we're talking about striking as it relates to the fight and McGregor expecting to KO him.

Weight doesnt necessarily give you an advantage in BJJ but having long and slender limbs certainly does.

Mcgregor is a good striker, not a great fighter. Going up in weight as a small fighter with only striking abilitity is extremely hard. If he had a ground game or size he could. All he does is talk and puts on a great show with his mouth though.

The sad part is alot of fighters out there right now are better fighters and not getting a quarter of the money this guy does. Thats why the ufc has became a show where boxing is still an art.

Weight class didn't come into play all that much, he gassed out after 3 minutes in round 1 because he was throwing haymaker after haymaker and jumping around like an idiot. Once he gassed there was no way he was KOing Diaz... and when he gave his back it was because he was already KO'd and clearly gave up, unlike Holms who was actually put to sleep.

You see that fight in Holms as she went out!? Throwing punches AS the blood left her brain.... fighting is ingrained in that woman.

Felt like the Golden age again (minus having the whole card stacked) with the big moments.

Dana was just telling Miesha Tate to retire last year like a wise-guy douchebag when Miesha said she was waiting for a title shot and not taking any bullshit fights.

Feels good when the bully doesn't get his way. Not sure Miesha deserves the belt in 2016, but she's paid her dues and I was really hyped for her.

There can only be one (tm).

Chael coming off suspension this summer. Jones poised to go on another tear. Big things.

Also GSP coming back for a little showcase I reckon soon. Could be a hot end of 2016.

Anyone catch the prelims with the Japanese guy (Ishihara) who won and doesn't speak a lick of English?

One of his mates must have told him to say it, but I died laughing when he said "I love you my bitches".

The post fight interview he said "As long as I can KO someone and get girls, I'll do it all day."

Already like this guy
