UFC Fight Night: Souza vs. Mousasi

[Gomi]

Jacare's ground game can't be utilized if he can't get Weidman down, now will it?

jacare isn't afraid to scrap, and weidman would be foolish to try to take jacare down. He isn't on jacare's level on the ground, I dont care who he thinks he is.

Everyone is drinking waaay too much weidman kool-aid. Mousasi is no slouch on the ground, and jacare subbed him.

Scrapping with someone that beat Anderson Silva on the feet twice because of his timing and distance isn't gonna work very well, and as far as taking Jacare down, he doesn't need to do that to win, now does he?

Why hasn't Rashad gone to MW. That is the real question.

[Addthefun123123]

the octagon was 5 feet smaller tonight, interesting.. that favors the grapplers, kinda stinks

He can hold his own from the top. Everybody respected in submission grappling who has tangled with Weidman speaks very, very highly about his ability.

No, not really. If you can defend takedowns against the cage--most guys can now that are good--then it's neutralized. If it hurts anybody, it hurts the counter fighting, elusive types who like to circle out because it makes it easier for guys to be in range.

Can he? He packs a lot of mass.

[RoccoTanno123]

How is Souza off his back?

He;s a stud anywhere in the grappling department. Google his credentials.

Right now LHW is desperate for talent and MW is STACKED. He's prob better off staying up there.. Would love to him rematch machida for the lulz though

without the juice he doesn't have the power strikes needed to win fast. And dat chin is worse than ever. He's finished.

The first win was anderson being an idiot, and the second a total fluke. Everyone knows this, and if they don't they're the ones doing the USA USA chants. The last I saw, anderson was getting comfortable and tagging weidman pretty good before the leg break. You never know what's going to happen, and if the fight goes to the ground, (and don't be surprised if jacare puts weidman on his back) there's a chance weidman gets subbed.

Beast anywhere on the ground. Absolute beast.

the fact that you still dismiss Weidman's victories after beating Anderson for 4 rounds in 2 fights speaks to your own lack of credibility

he has had a great career, but i think he should stick to kick boxing. I will still enjoy watching him fight because of how crisp his technique can be. I put my name on my fav fighters and own it, haters gonna hate

[Krispy1]

For those who don't know Weidmans ground game he made it to quarter finals of ADCC after less then a year of JJ training and lost to Andre Galvao who is another level then Jacare

I guess, but the cage can sometimes seem to also be a place where guys defending the takedown get 'stuck' and run out of room to move back and out of the shot for takedowns, so I could see it being disadvantageous as well

Why the need to dance on an opponent you just defeated? #NotCool

the butt hurt is real... maybe jackson can let rothwell know how to get some fans?

LOL lack of credibility. OK. Put them at the same ages and see what happens. One is 40 and the other is like 26. I think we all know it would never end the same way. Weidman is not some MMA god who walks through everyone.

in for reem vs cro cop.. battle of the chins

[RoccoTanno123]

the peds definitely should not be discounted, but in this fight his skills were definitely worse. He used to be a lot better at punishing fighters for making mistakes like being out of position or over-showing strikes. After Ben successfully walked through a bunch of his strikes, he definitely was at a loss. He had a number of chances to counter in that fight--Rothwell was really showing those uppercuts for instance . He's also too used to guys just fading from his knees or something because he doesn't have any immediate followup attacks once he lands that strike and guys disengage. That's been very noticeable lately.

I doubt the Reem will stay at Jackson's, but you never know. TBH, if any camp fits him, I think he should go to AKA. If he's going to ever crack the top 5 again, he's got to improve his defense, especially with his hands, and he's got to add a few combos as well as learn to handle pressure better.

guess he prefers these antics:
