How did Khamzat win easily? He wanted no part of the standup and just laid on him. I had it 2-1 Usman.

It was a dominant round 1 and then he still out wrestled him in the last 2 rounds. I reckon he won easily.

Disagree I think that's overstating his grappling exchanges. He did nothing but lay on him. Usman's effective striking won him round's 2 & 3 imo. If you think Khamzat won round 3 we were watching a different fight. Round 2 was the close one.

Let's run it back and make it 5 rounds.

Does this hurt Volk's legacy? He shouldn't have taken the fight on short notice but it's easy to say in hindsight.

Nope. That’s fighting.
On any given day something can get through and knock you out of the contest.
The only guarantees in UFC type competitions are for those using drugs.

PEDs are in every sport mate. In Lance Armstrongs era in cycling they were all on EPO.

It's common. I remember Chael Sonnen stating LeBron was on the Lance Armstrong medicine. I bet that is a massive reason he has had such a long career.

I still reckon Khamzat won easily but I'd like to see it again. I wonder if 5 rounds makes a difference. They are both beasts.

That doesn’t make it right.

I watched UFC 13 on Youtube last night.
Those were the best days when everyone was so crap at it. Blokes wearing karate pyjamas and shoes fighting dudes in Speedos.
A roid raging Vitor Belfort smashed Tank Abbott and Tito Ortiz was choked out by some bloke who was never heard of again.

The fights were interesting back then.
These days they are an absolute snoozefest.
Give me the aggressive hardarses anyday…Dan Severn, Don Frye, Ken Shamrock etc…these guys didn’t have multimillion dollar gyms and teams to train them. They were just tough animals who liked to fight.

Tom Aspinall is the new interim heavyweight champ. That division is such rubbish.
I reckon D.C. could've jumped out of his commentator's chair and beat Aspinall.

BKFC fights this Sunday. Perry vs Alvarez. Should be good!

At first I thought you were referring to yourself but I take it you mean the fighters.

It was good to see Meisha get a win.
I'd still like to see her retire. The girl she fought was perfect for her, but if she can't take her opponent down she's still gonna get killed.
She throws punches with her eyes closed.

 

[upthetigers]

Should put some money on Perry I see him getting the KO.
