Sandhagen also is far more dangerous when it comes to submissions than the fruity pebble fag

Sandhagen is a good fighter and better than O’Malley for sure but he has almost no chance against Merab

They should just put O’Malley in against strikers so we can get some fireworks. Fuck chasing the belt.

That wasn’t him

I think if Cory’s going to have any chance to win, he needs to find a way to somehow stop Merab’s constant pressure, or use it against him. He’s going to have to try and catch Merab closing the distance for a takedown. Hit him with a flying knee like he did to Edgar and stun him that way, or maybe he could get lucky and catch him in a guillotine too, but I think he’ll really need to just put him out to win.

I honestly think a flash KO may be the only way to beat Merab.

Henry wants Him ^

I like Henry but no desire to see him fight Sean.. there’s not much upside for Sean to take this fight - him
Vs Sandhagen is much better

If Henry still wants to fight, give him guys between the top 6-10. He’s gotten to a point where he is competitive with all of the top 5 but probably won’t beat them. But he can beat anyone outside of the top 5 and be a gatekeeper for contenders.

I don’t like Henry, so I’d like to see him fight guys who can dominate and make him look bad.

Michael Bisping was brutally honest about Patchy Mix for talking a big game but failing to deliver in his UFC debut.

Mix (20-2 MMA, 0-1 UFC) lost a unanimous decision to streaking bantamweight contender Mario Bautista (16-2 MMA, 10-2 UFC) on Saturday’s UFC 316 main card. He looked tentative and was outstruck. The elite grappler also attempted just one takedown, which was easily stuffed by Bautista.

“Patchy Mix sh*t the bed,” Bisping said on his “Believe You Me” podcast.

The former Bellator champion was very confident heading into the fight, calling himself the best bantamweight in the sport and one of the most hyped prospects to ever sign with the UFC. He also heavily dismissed Bautista, which is what Bisping mainly took issue with.

“Especially after the confidence and the sh*t talk at the press conference, and the way that he just dismissed the threat of Bautista,” Bisping added. "It was a forgone conclusion that (he’s) going to walk in here, destroy everybody, become the champion. Then you go up against Bautista, who is chipping away in the background, beating people like Jose Aldo but doesn’t get the fan recognition if we’re being honest, but a tough guy to beat.

“He was beaten soundly. He wasn’t in the fight. He didn’t really do much. On the striking numbers, it was surprising because they were kind of close. But Bautista was clipping him, he was landing good shots, and every time Patchy Mix took a shot, he was pulling his face. It was like, ‘Oh, I didn’t like that one.’ That’s not a good idea because if it’s close, the judges are going to go, ‘Well, you were reacting every single time to those shots.’”

Yeah but I actually thought the opposite about Bautista’s punches, it didn’t look like a single one affected Mix. He barely moved.

He looked like a deer in headlights.

Stage fright isn’t acceptable if you’re a professional fighter.
