Figured we might get a thread going instead of creating fight-specific threads that people may or may not see.
So . . . how about them women? Womens MMA is no joke. You have a killer at bantamweight in Amanda Nunes, a beast at featherweight in Cyborg, and a tiny girl with the sweetest smile in Thug Rose at strawweight.
If you missed Joanna Jedrzejczyk's title defense against Rose Namajunas, that is must-see. Joanna was a huge favorite to win b/c she's a killer and has been holding down the title for a couple of years. Nobody saw Rose winning, especially how she won that fight - straight thug!
Not sure what's next for Cyborg. Who wants a piece of that? Nobody. I'm sure some bantamweight woman would be willing to step up to get hammered for a payday, but there are no serious challengers at the moment. I think Holly retires - she's not gonna beat Nunes or Cyborg, so why bother sticking around at her age. I think she wants to have kids, so she better get started very soon. I'm sure Joanna will come back, mad as hell. I wonder if they'll make her fight a top contender before a rematch.
Then there's the men. GSP relinquished the middleweight belt, and I don't see him coming back for another fight at that weight - it was a helluva return to the octagon, but c'mon now. Looking forward to seeing him at welterweight - GSP v Woodley!
Mac - who knows. Dude is rich now after suckering people into that farce w/ Mayweather. Could be a while before he's back. And would he really want to come back against Ferguson or Khabib?
Talk of TJ Dillashaw dropping down to 125 to fight Mighty Mouse Johnson. Dunno how he'd manage - he looked ripped in the bantamweight title fight against Garbrandt. Gonna have to do one of those Macgregor style cuts. He'd be real dangerous for Johnson.
Ngannou vs Miocic coming up.
