UFC 210: Daniel Cormier vs. Anthony Johnson II-The Official Live Discussion Thread!

[scooterbrah]

tbh haven't watched a bellator event in a while. I like Chael on his podcast and I'm a biased cause he is one of my fav fighters. I thought he would have done well

i will admit that i am currently not on the chael train so my opinions on him might be a little skewed at the moment. but once he gets rekt by wanderlei silva I will be back on team chael.

[CorytheKiD]

Can't believe Rumble chose to go out like that.

[Twice11]

Rumbles heart wasn't in it.


People don't like DC because he's like the Mayweather of 205 divison, but the guy is highly skilled and smart. Not sure what Rumble was doing.

[Gainzzz]

There's no other explanation for Rumble's gameplan. He has obviously fallen out of love with MMA and didn't want to take any damage in his last fight.

Really curious about what else he's going to do. I know he's big into dog breeding or something, so maybe it's that.

Fuk, he's one of the most watchable fighters ever.

[Serb-Muscle]

Absolutely stupid. Retiring in the prime of his career when he can finally start making some good money.
Potato in the cage and potato in life.

How is that stupid you ****ing potato. The thing he might be going to do might pay better and it's his personal choice.

[*ShaGGs*]

Outside of an eye injury, every one of Rumbles losses in MMA have been from rear naked choke.

[Jburn]

Ahh another Saturday night, another lackluster UFC card.

Hopefully McGoat will drop the whole Mayweather shtick and come back to defend his title (for the first time in over a year, lmao)

[ExtinctionOG]

Isn't this like the 5th time Rumble has lost to a RNC? Lmao dude definitely has some serious weak points in his game to fix.

[DirtyTorque]

When is the post fight conference?

[Millington]

At long last Rumble is going to make use of his degree from Lassen Community College. A bit of a head scratcher, there are many people he can easily beat en route to an eventual payday with jones. I doubt the guy has more money than he can spend. But potatos gonna potate.

interesting. When ever I hear about anyone (particularly people with a good amount of money) from Georgia and Florida being interested in breeding I automatically think it's for game dogs (fighting dogs), that **** is so prevent in that part of the country. Hope it's not something like that cause as much as I like rumble I love dogs, would have to write him off

Edit:. Just found the dogs, they're Frenchies, mirin even harder now.

hmmm...make millions from UFC for another 2 years, or make ok money doing something else.
If he had actually fought to win that fight, he could have gained a serious fan base as champion, but he instead chose to not take any damage and go out like a potato.

You can't even write a cover letter and quit your last job out of fear so I'm not expecting you to be able to comprehend this.

[Gizzyhardcore]

well, this would be a great analogy for why people dive in soccer.

You can get penalties to win games.. so people dive and it looks stupid.

In MMA if you can get your opponent disqualified by over dramatising something (acting hurt) the same motivation is there... and chit happens

Also wtf at Rumble, but thanks, I bet on DC and method of victory submission, so I am a couple hundy richer lol

[Swept]

Pay attention.

DCgoat just had one of the best post-fight interviews in UFC history.

Jones will be back to son him

[freuddcoco]

rumbles heart wasn't in it.


People don't like dc because he's like the mayweather of 205 divison, but the guy is highly skilled and smart. Not sure what rumble was doing.

mayweather never got decisively beaten by a dude who had been doing a bunch of drugs prior and didn't even train hard or take the fight really srsly and isn't even in his prime yet while dc is 38... Mayweather of the division lmfao ur crazy

[seanb1979]

We just went full WWE and it hurt my soul

definitely appears to be headed that way and it scares me since this is the only sport i enjoy anymore

[PepperedAngus]

post fight presser in 30 mins:

The Chris making excuses. smh... basically confirming he thought he was going to win via illegal knee so he was going to sit it out, then was told it was legal so now he wanted to fight again. Dudes stretching his arms out to try and make two hand contact exactly as the rules were re written to avoid people doing so easily, yet he somehow believes hes been slighted in some way after trying to game the system and getting caught and basically TKOed but trying to get the win via illegal knee stoppage.

fuk that.

[seanb1979]

Did anyone else think Rumble was gathering his coaches together so he could say '**** yall you're ****in fired'

[PepperedAngus]

Did anyone else think Rumble was gathering his coaches together so he could say '**** yall you're ****in fired'

im being 100% serious when I say, yes. Look back at my post after the fight- I literally said just that. And thats what he should have done if their gameplan was what he was following, because that gameplan was full potato

EDIT: here was my post after the fight

Rumbles gameplan was full potato mode. You simply cant tell me thats how he trained and what he worked on...he had multiple oppotunities in the clinch to reset and strike, but kept going for reversals and his own takedowns...damn that is just dumb. He better fire all his coaches.

[jfindon]

Did anyone else think Rumble was gathering his coaches together so he could say '**** yall you're ****in fired'

First thing I thought as well.

[skinnytobulk]

Did anyone else think Rumble was gathering his coaches together so he could say '**** yall you're ****in fired'

Same.

[FIREnICE]

someone needs to confirm if that was their gameplan or rumble's decision once he got inside and decided to just give up

wait, why were his coaches outside the octagon to begin with? were they perhaps mad at rumble for disregarding their gameplan?

[DrewDarden]

I'm thinking Rumble got some kind of tv show/reality show or something.

[greg_84]

Did anyone else think Rumble was gathering his coaches together so he could say '**** yall you're ****in fired'

It's funny, that's exactly what I thought, then when he said he has another job, I was like "what could be better than a pro athlete, porn star?" and several people have posted that too. Great minds think alike.

I'm assuming it isn't porn as I'm sure he could do that and fight at the same time.

[Gainzzz]

I'm pretty sure he breeds a very specific bully type, basically the complete opposite to a fighting dog but they're very expensive.

Could be something completely different though, who knows.

[adamsz]

Did anyone else think Rumble was gathering his coaches together so he could say '**** yall you're ****in fired'

my first thought exactly lol

[Mr.PissShivers]

Rumble to play for the Rams?

EDIT: here was my post after the fight

It's not his coaches fault, Henri Hooft left the octagon fast as fuk because he was disgusted. Guarantee that's not how they trained. Actually felt bad for Rumble when he was trying to find his coaches, I knew he was retiring.
