[MartialArts] UFC Discussions

Got my tickets for the Adelaide show. As usual it was reported here as "human fighting" and had an opinion poll. Glad to see UFC fans got on there and shut down any retarded arguments.

I went to the one in Sydney last year. [MENTION=6722]Bazza20[/MENTION];
It was the 1st time in UFC history that every fight was a stoppage. I've been to state of origins, bledisloe cups, even Cathy Freeman's 400m gold at the Olympics. The UFC was not far behind them. Great spectacle, BUT a few silent periods when the telecast is on ads or pre recorded interviews between fights.
Would definitely go again without hesitation.

How good would it have been to be at the UFC event in Ireland when Connor McGregor was fighting. The crowd was going absolutely mental.

I have been to 3 in aus, on the last one at brisbane I went with kyle nokes brother and got free tickets about 15m from the cage, the mark hunt fight was mental, from now on I will pay more for better tickets,
 
After listening the Brendan Schuabs podcast I'm thinking he is planning on dropping to 205. He hasn't said it but he has mentioned a few times he isn't fighting for a while and has a lot of weight to loose.

Not sure it's going to be any better for him if he does. Jones, rumble, DC, Guss, ect.
 
l wonder how he'll look at 205... He seems around the same size as Stipe Miocic who could be another guy who might be able to drop. Some guys do better being smaller in a heavier weight class (Mike Swick @ 85 is / was a lot better than Swick at 170 l think) so time will tell. Schaub wasn't the fastest heavyweight though and l see him getting beaten to the punch quite a bit at 205...

Most recent podcast he had Matt Mitrione and he mentioned he was excited to see schuabs next fight. I'm sure he is going down. Schuab doesn't even have a fight planned. He has something going on.

I think it's not a bad move for him. Let's face it jones and Gus are bigger than him at 205. A bit less knock out power in 205 might give him a chance to use his BJJ that he thinks he is pretty good at.

It would be a good career move for him.. 2 wins in a row at LHW and he'd be near the top of the heap l'd say with how the UFC works.

Don't let Schuab get you into that darce to gator roll combe he tries going for every chance he gets...

l do see him winning a few fights against some of the top 15 LHw's though... Lil nog, Maldanado and maybe a couple of the aging 'legends' which l don't want to see him get. l don't really see him beating any top 10 guys.. maybe OSP or Manuwa? l'll guess we'll see how he looks at 205 soon enough.
 
I really can't see Shaub going any better at LHW, I just cant, maybe in Bellator or some other organisation but not the UFC

I see it as a very good move for him. As much as he likes to talk about how big he is he is tubby at HW. Not lean by any stretch. He could walk around at a lean 225 and make 205 easy. I think he may have the potential to make a top 5 205. I may be biased after listening to his podcasts he sounds like a good bloke giving it a fucken good crack.
