basically what dennis is saying MM is the GOAT

Re: General UFC/MMA discussion, news, updates, etc.

And MM knocked Cejudo out in the first round.

There was never a real wrestling exchange. Sure, on paper Cejudo might be a better wrestler, and? Is TJ not bigger and stronger? Is TJ not the better striker to mix in strikes and takedowns? Is TJ not more powerful?

The difference is TJ is a huge step up in competition for MM compared to Joanna's, tbh.

MM stuffed two takedowns and got back up instantly after being taken down IIRC, plus he murk'd cejudo in the clinch, a clinch is potential filled position for a wrestler

MM is the better "mixer" TJ does have better striking tho
I agree that TJ would beat MM, im just saying MM does have skills

Re: General UFC/MMA discussion, news, updates, etc.

I guess the real questions is how big and strong will TJ be at 125. If he can manhandle MM like dom did when they fought at 135 then its gonna be a long night for the mouse, but if not we gon see

speaking of flyweights. I wanna see brandon moreno vs ray borg for the number 1 contender spot. that could be a war

Re: General UFC/MMA discussion, news, updates, etc.

TJ is a much better wrestler.

Wrestling > JJ

TJ could end the fight, MM couldn't.

He got rocked by Elliott, TJ would sleep him.

Cjeduo was a much better wrestler too, and Reis was a better grappler but none of that mattered in the fights.

Tim landed 1 punch lol, thats like JJ champs last 3 fights she got rocked and still dominated.

I still think MM can submit TJ but either way he is gonna decision the fuck outta him

I believe MM's MMA wrestling is better than TJ's tbh

doing some MMA math, who has better wrestling than henry cejudo on TJ's record?

Rory Mac fighting today!!!
I think the main card starts at like 930pm or some shit tho so make sure to hold off on napping

its gonna be tape delay broadcast, so you gotta stay offline for a bit if you don't want any spoilers

is it delayed everywhere?

I figured if we watch the bootleg stream we will get the UK broadcast

but if it is delayed in UK too then thats silly it doesnt air live anywhere

thats a good point, i doubled checked and getting mixed stories, spike claims its gonna be live around 9 pst time

I imagine they want the most views as possible, thus they will delay the broadcast on a more prime time, but hopfully they show it live first

Re: General UFC/MMA discussion, news, updates, etc.

w.e if he misses weight thats better bc he is never gonna defend at flyweight so itd be like the pettis holloway fight where only the one who made weight keeps the belt. although i guess that would mean it doesnt count as a defense for MM which would actually be hilarious if he had to fight TJ and didnt get to break the record

MM is def has faster hands then TJ, and TJ has better power.

TJ would be tough to take down but imo if it gets there MM would dominate TJ with his white belt jits

[Moose]

Re: General UFC/MMA discussion, news, updates, etc.

The only reason I'd have any doubt at all is TJ has never made 125. I don't think it would be a problem though.

MM definitely wouldn't be able to dominate TJ on the ground and he definitely isn't going to KO TJ. He's in for a long night or a really short one if TJ stops him early.



MM should be begging for this fight. With TJ and Cody able to make 125 it makes the Flyweight more interesting, but if MM is going to be a bitch it's still going to be a stale shit division.

[Potijelli]

Re: General UFC/MMA discussion, news, updates, etc.

id honestly rather hold off on cody vs tj if they make MM vs TJ since itll finally be like the Rosetta stone ppl need for the flyweight division

[Moose]

Re: General UFC/MMA discussion, news, updates, etc.

I'll be ready.

[Potijelli]

Re: General UFC/MMA discussion, news, updates, etc.



we will def figure out a name/sig bet too if that fight does happen

Re: General UFC/MMA discussion, news, updates, etc.

Yikes. Rory is a 3-1 favorite?

Might have to put some money on Daley.
