re: UFC Fight Night: Woodley vs Burns

That’s why I love the biggest events with the UFC. They have Joe Rogan. I think he’s great, and I honestly love how there’s no big news on him for what he says in his podcast. And it seems Dana White doesn’t care.

The guy talks about drugs and a lot of controversial things on his podcast... imagine a big NFL commentator or ESPN commentator who talks about doing shrooms and DMT on a podcast regularly then is still working for one of those companies. I feel like some people would lose their shite.

You can parlay together Amanda Nunez, O’Malley and Menifield at +110 next weekend

I think something is up with Woodley mental game man.

Dude probably needs a sports psychologist. It was pretty clear that everyone in his camp, including himself, knew that he needed to not do what he ended up doing. However, I don’t think Burns or Usman turned out to be great match ups for him with their pressure, feints, and ground games, so it’s probably much easier said than done.

I think he could still put in some respectable performances without really changing anything, but it’s not like he has a lot of time left.

Colby wouldn’t sign the contract not Woodley

Honestly it might take someone like Colby to light that fire in the belly for Woodley

Bc dude is not that same after Usman broke him

Colby didn't refuse to sign a contract. he even showed text proof that was a lie. Woodley has backed out of the Colby fight once (elected an unnecessary surgery at the time) and he backed out of the Usman fight twice.

either way, Covington vs Woodley absolutely needs to happen. those two have been at each others throats for years.

That ship has sailed, especially with this loss. The money fight for Colby is masvidal. I don’t get the appeal of masvidal Vs Diaz 2 From a fans perspective. I’m sure it makes some dough though.

Ufc really fricked that up because champion woodley vs Colby would have been a great bout.

As for woodley I think the dude is just checked out of fighting mentally. He is clearly still a top level athlete but people change. Kind of like Rory Macdonald saying he just doesn’t have it in him anymore to be a savage. I think it’s the same with woodley.

Meh none of them really have impressive wins besides Burns and Usman who's the champ. Colby has beat Maia who's 7th that's it, and I guess you could put Lawler in there for one of his wins but he's 12th and on a 3 fight losing streak and actually lost to Dos Anjos.

Burns has beaten Maia and Woodley, honestly those aren't that impressive to me both dudes are done in my opinion.

We know for sure at 155 they want

Khabib vs Gaethje
Poirier vs Hooker

Eventually they want Conor fighting for the belt but they can do Conor vs Nate III at 170 in the meantime.

So at 170 you have four guys and the champ

Usman
Colby
Masvidal
Burns
Edwards

Usman has to fight someone and you can do another big fight with one fighter being odd man out. Hell throw Chiesa into the mix as well. Just need to get guys to commit.

Couldn’t catch the fight I see 2 judges had 50-44, sounds like an arse whooping. I didn’t realize woodley is fricking 38, he can’t have to much left in the tank

Who do y’all think they get for the July 4th card? Any chance for stipe vs dc 2? Hoping Conor gets on it also

I think those two and what someone else posted in that it just looks like he's not into it anymore is what we saw last night. He'll probably look for one more fight to try and end it on a win, but who knows. It just looked like he was somewhere else last night
