cashfl0w Posted March 20 Report Share Posted March 20 The GOAT of MMA, the Motown Phenom (MTP for short), Kevin Lee returns to right one of the first wrongs in his career when he had to fight for the title with a staph infection, or get skipped and ignored for years.. Tony Ferguson gets his head bashed in at UFC 290. Say stupid chit below. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yesterdays_Hero Posted March 20 Report Share Posted March 20 Do you think they re-signed him because his brother is huge on TikTok? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nyte Posted March 20 Report Share Posted March 20 (edited) Kevin Lee should win this in a landslide In contrast, if he loses to a washed up Tony Ferguson, might have to get the boot again But I think the former will happen If Kevin Lee fights to his potential, he'll be a nice shake up to the division Edited March 20 by Nyte 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PlatinumClegg Posted March 21 Report Share Posted March 21 155 or 170? Tony is washed but if it's a lightweight fight Kevin will show up at 159.5 pounds. Then he'll immediately cry for the 165 class that Khabib gave him. Where he couldn't finish an actual retard named Diego Sanchez. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They resigned him because he's clearly the GOAT. I know it's a gimmick but this dude failed when matched up against a real estate agent. Twice I believe. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Listen to you bashing the man for making sense and wanting the divisions not to start randomly jumping up 15 pounds when it would benefit him if they just kept going up 10 pounds. You sound like a goof right now. The divisions should be 135, 145, 155, 165, 175, 185, etc. Not this weird all of a sudden we go up 15 pounds crap. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like 12 years ago. I don't want to see boxing divisions where it's 3 pounds, 4, 5 and 7. I agree that 155 to 170 then 185 to 205 is big jumps. I would like to see 155, 165, 175, 190 and 205. And I'm not hating on the man. He's still young and he's athletic. He has room for improvement still and potential. My biggest issue with Kevin Lee seems to be him having a mental road block. I know Diego is tough but Kevin should've dogged him at this point. There's a massive age and mileage difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlatinumClegg Posted March 21 Report Share Posted March 21 And yes I know he won the fight 30-27. I thought he was going to cave Diego's skull in. Maybe my expectations were too high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ijosef Posted March 22 Report Share Posted March 22 As an avid fan of Keith Hackney vs Emmanuel Yaraborough type matches, I'm totally in favor of openweight. However, I see how the regulatory bodies might (well, they definitely would) pitch a fit if you had someone like Derek Lewis fight someone like Demetrious Johnson. The particular bout is something I'd absolutely love to see, proving that size and strength matter a crap ton and finally putting to bed the myth that technique trumps all. Johnson is clearly more skilled and far more technically sound than Lewis at every single aspect of the game (and by a wide margin), but there's no overcoming Lewis' immense size and strength advantage. But, back on topic, I'm 100% in agreement with the ten pound classes. I think 135-205 with ten pounds between each class makes sense, coupled with some sort of weight-cutting management (hydration testing, day of weigh-ins, etc - I don't know enough about it) to make guys fight closer to their natural weights. I'd also remove the cap for heavyweight, since it's unlikely it would matter that much and heavyweight is heavyweight. "Super heavyweight" is a stupid class. If you're anything 206 or over, you're a heavyweight, just like boxing does it. Maybe, just maybe I could go for a 225 cruiserweight class but I don't know how that would work out. I'd name it like this, but only because I don't like the term "junior": 135/145/155 - same names they have now 165 -Welterweight 175 - Super Welterweight 185 - Middleweight 195 - Super Middleweight 205 - same 206+ (no limit) Heavyweight 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even though I completely agree I don't think anyone is calling for a 215 division. Every single fighter at 205 is just a smaller heavyweight that drops down typically from 220-235. However there have been even bigger light heavy's. Gus and OSP both weighed 240 for their HW fights. Forrest, Chuck and Rampage were all well known to be over 240 between fights. Anyone remember Mike Whitehead? He would fight at heavyweight only a few pounds under the 265 limit and then his next fight would be at 205.
