  • Jon Jones Vs Daniel Cormier 2

    What can we take from the first fight between Jones & Cormier? Jones looked very dangerous in the first round significantly less so in the 2nd Jones had a range of attacks – a knee tap & a left cross, elbows, oblique kicks & body kicks Cormier had only 2 go-to attacks, a wrestling tie-up…

  • Can Conor beat Floyd?

    Well, the simple answer is – “yes, but it’s unlikely” Conor was beaten on the feet by Nate Diaz, who had him in big trouble & close to getting knocked out before Conor was forced to shoot for a double leg takedown, which ultimately led to him getting mounted and choked. A few things to…
