UFC on ESPN+ 9: Iaquinta vs. Cowboy (May 04, 2019)

[firekillex]

Love it!!! Suck it ballerina dancer!!!

alllllll day

[firekillex]

man these 2 warriors putting on a show...
hats off to both of these guys , coming in with a ton of skill and heart .. this is MMA

[JIBBBY]

Cowboy chin held up, taller and rangier fighter wins by decision.. Not my guess but it makes sense if this 5th round continues and trends the same way which it should..

Cowboy to tall and rangy with is punches and kicks on the smaller man.. Noted!!!! Reach is big in mma strikers..

[firekillex]

thats the biggest ive seen Cowboy ever look at 55 by far... looked huge in there
if his chin can hold up at 55 and his mental game is there he can beat anybody in the world ... mental game is his biggest weakness
looked like a killer in there tonight with the swag , would like to see him against Tony Ferguson as well that would be bananas

common theme i want anybody against Ferguson

[JIBBBY]

Cowboy is back on that horse. Nice showing.. RSPK

[Hugo de Naranja]

Boooommmm. Cowboy win another win. NEVER fade him against an Orthodox fighter. 12-1 on picks tonight.

There are myths in MMA and they are Tito's cardio, Roy Nelson JU Jitz game, and Raggin Al's power. I think i saw one of them ten years ago.

[Sanity Check]

Al Iaquinta KO'ed Diego Sanchez awhile ago.

I think everytime Cowboy has fought someone who beat one of his teammates he's ALWAYS put a massive beating on them.



Its like something out of a Rocky movie.

First dog call I posted that didn't hit over the past few months.

4 out of 5 is it?

.

Maryna Moroz could be a live dog, looks like she's training out of ATT in florida.

Mazo looks a bit green.

John Phillips looked tough on his feet of late.

Panic wrestling could be Marshman's only chance, here.

He missed weight by 2 lbs hope panic wrestling isnt his gameplan cuz that would be cheap bruh.

Figueiredo got outwrestled & lost his fight with Jarred Brooks 30-27 in one of the biggest judging robberies of all time.

Formiga could be a live dog there with him working on his wrestling to compliment his grappling.

Some of the favorites should be underdogs.

Initial lean is towards Aiemann Zahabi and Merab Dvashvili being flipped odds.

Don't quote me. I haven't begun capping this event, yet.

Above "flipped oddds" means = Vince Morales and Brad Katona.

4 for 5 on dog leans. Many of them made on page 1.

Technically John Phillips didn't win his fight but I think practically everyone 99.9% of people scored the fight in favor of Phillips so I'm counting it as a win where official judges got it wrong.

[PaperTrail07]

nice work sir......whiffed on Zahabi and Theo......Zahabi does not want it enough to be in the UFC IMO....skills there ....heart NO......as for Theo.....the speed advantage was huge.....i didnt think it would be.....eating fuckn crow on that......nice calls by everyone....not best card for me ....

Boooommmm. Cowboy win another win. NEVER fade him against an Orthodox fighter. 12-1 on picks tonight.

[PaperTrail07]

your not kidding......Jordan mein….ect...lol

[JAKEPEAVY21]

could not have been more wrong on Iaquinta, he got starched

on to the next one...

[PaperTrail07]

Right there w ya...…..counted too much on his cardio......cowboy=more skills.....just like the juan adams fight.....buhallar=more skills......was surprised to see everyone on that but cool to see everyone cash!!

could not have been more wrong on Iaquinta, he got starched

on to the next one...

[TPowell]

Good night for me at a little over 4 units won but should have been even more with that Adams decision. Amazing that not even one judge gave him the 2nd or 3rd round for a split since he easily won R1. Bhullar is so trash

[UncleChael]

Cowboy gonna fuckk him upp!! Let's gooooo

#22 sharppp #undefeated #undisputed

You're looking at the reflection of perfection. You're looking at the man who gets all your attention. You're looking at the man with the biggest arm. At the man, with the greatest charm, the man in Chicago who will do harm to the guy three doors down. Whatcha gonna do, when you know who? How ya gonna deal, with the man of steel? How ya gonna react to Sonnen's attack

Settle down Shlomo

Time for theodorou to get his ass beat!!! ABOB in full affect time to beat up the pussy!!!

Ahhh yes Brunson comes out with the "measured" approach. I'm not gonna chase this guy, I'll just wait in the center. Meanwhile Elias racks up a million significant strikes against the air that the judges are incredibly impressed by.

Nice to hear the Canadian fans boo his ass. Even they're growing tired of it.

ufc should kick elias out for fighting stupid. this guy truly has no fans.

LIGHT WORKKKKK
brunson looked bad tbh but Elias is just so absolutely garbage Brunson still got the win ... had to put more in when it went +105 , was sweating that out bit

im literally shocked how Elias is even in the UFC , least skilled UFC fighter ive seen in a long time... run away ,throw kicks with 0 power and throw standing hammerfists its crazy.... watching with friends who dont watch MMA a ton and they literally thought it was a joke

Love it!!! Suck it ballerina dancer!!!

That was weak. Boos were very deserved.

Elias Theodorou, Wilson Reis among cuts to UFC's roster

Elias Theodorou, Wilson Reis, Marcelo Golm and Eric Shelton have been released by the promotion. A UFC official today confirmed the news to MMA Junkie after an initial report by Brazilian MMA media outlet Combate.com.

[firekillex]

never wish for somebody to get cut, but im not shocked about elias being gone... that style was tough to watch... basically just exploiting the rules/ scoring system for wins and not even fighting

[Thrilla]

The UFC just lost with Theodorou one of the most physically beautiful men to ever compete in the sport of mixed martial arts.

LOSERS!

[Thor4140]

Be nice to see him matched up with Jake Shields. Maybe we can chip in and start a promotion. These two would rock the house. We prolly couldn't sell ten seats

[Thrilla]

What shampoo does Theodorou use? How does he get that nice glow?

[PaperTrail07]

Pretty shocked they cut him as well...as much as he is "not exciting" he fills a card and usually eats up 20 mins...

to be honest im not shocked at all, it makes the ufc look bad when people from his home country are booing him during the fight... Dana hates guys who dont come to fight and Elias is the definition of that.. you cant throw 10 feints in a row, run away then throw a standing hammerfist for 2 minutes and be in the UFC lolll its disrespect to the fans who pay to watch the fights... literally when he fights in Toronto and i go live, thats my queue for a bathroom break... Hopefully he finds his way but i cant see him being in the UFC again

Couldnt agree more. With the looks he had, he could get a lot shiet for free like Vant Zan, could have build his brand, but he choose to hammerfist like a baby...like a fakking baby. Youre in the UFC, try to outclass people, try to punish people, and make them second guess their own abilities. Prove that you want to be there , for the fans, most of all for yourself. Maybe you inspire a couple of people on the way as well.

Elias said, thanks, but no thanks.

[firekillex]

even Paige at least she actually comes to fight , she doesnt have the most skills but she comes out and scraps which i can always respect win or lose... of course the name of the game is hit and not get hit .... but elias just throws 10% power and runs away, i can never respect that kind of game point blank it makes the UFC look like a joke when people are watching and think they can beat a UFC fighter lol

No need to take a shot at Jibby

jibby vs chuck liddell book it

[PaperTrail07]

I mean I get its a show but its also MMA....I respect his record....you want him out....toss him 2-3 more killers/bad matchups that roll him up .....let him have another chance IMO but pick smarter/tougher fights for him...

If Elias Theodorou has kids and a family someday and is proud for them to watch his fights in the UFC, everything is 100% cool!

But if Theodorou doesn't want his future wife or kids to watch his fights because he's embarrassed of his performances, then there might be a problem.

[Thor4140]

jibby vs chuck liddell book it

Nice catch lol
