Covid19ton VS Woodley (http://ripple.stream/mmastreams/ufc-live-stream)

Covid19ton
LOL.

LOL.
Sorry Matty, i meant Covington of course! :D ;)

Lol...Kwon, any ideas why there was talk of the UFC cutting Cuttington? He was like 15-1 in the pros, and he was going to get cut? ???
Maybe that was fake news I was reading...but I heard it was because he was a "boring" fighter. I still don't get why any fighter would be cut with that kind of pro record.
Then he went MAGA, and was trending for a while. Covington is a worthy pro fighter, IMO.

Yeah, they thought he was boring, so that's when he came up with the Wrestling/MAGA-persona to make people hate him just so he would get views and voila, people tuned in to see him and he was not in danger of being cut anymore.
Even if you are a good fighter, it helps if you can do PR as well, like Conor McGregor. Conor would never have gotten the Floydwood Mac-Fight if he couldn't talk like he did.

I don't know if I even understand that reasoning, lol. It could be an autistic thing, but wouldn't or shouldn't athletic ability in one's sport be the primary factor?
I should re-watch "Moneyball". I remember one line in the movie where they were deciding on a player to either recruit or trade, and they mentioned that he didn't have a good looking girlfriend, and that that was the sign of low confidence? ??? Weird. Prior to that film, I just thought it all boiled down to playing ability.
Thanks for the UFC link, Kwon. I wasn't going to watch this card tonight, but the link is working great right now. Nice crisp HD.

it's mainly for Wrestlers and Wall 'n' Stallers and Lay 'n' Prayers, if you are an exciting Striker that can KO people, you don't even need to know the language since you are easier to promote.
If you are an Exciting Striker AND is able to talk and promote yourself, then it's a Goldmine for UFC and other promotions.

Good point. I guess George St-Pierre's winning streak and maybe his looks were enough for him to sell out pay-per-views.
Did they just say Darren from England is fighting?!

Yes, GSPs looks was a big part of it. He didn't have the most exciting personality (never shit talked) but he could play the "Good Guy" perfectly.

He looked like he wanted to quit with the fake eye poke. That beat down on the ground was a beautiful thing.🇺🇸
Dana said he should retire..and he should.

Oh shoot...Colby Covid-19-ton beat Tyron "Black Lives Matter and I'm Oppressed and the UFC Oppresses Me" Woodley? Is that three in a row now? Yeah, he should retire.

Her dad was an animal during 1990s early 2000s on the Jiu-Jitsu circuit. I remember McKenzie when she was just this sweet little girl. She is a genuine bad ass.
-
I disliked both of them but Colby is the real deal. Just total domination of a world class fighter. Don't care for Usman either. I wish Jorge could have beat him. The welterweight class isn't as stacked as it use to be.
Jorge and Colby would be a popular matchup that people would like to see but I think they're going to give him a title fight even though Dana hates him.

BROKEN!
WHERE U AT SNOOZEMAN! WHERE U AT STREET JESUS! WHERE U AT JAGO! WHERE U AT UKJEFFLEY!

Colby Covington believes Tyron Woodley wanted out of the UFC Fight Night main event.
Covington finished the former welterweight champion in the fifth round of the one-sided contest Saturday in Las Vegas. Woodley suffered a rib injury and verbally submitted as the two battled for position on the ground, but "Chaos" saw it as a way to escape the fight.
"I broke him," Covington said at the postfight press conference. "The (fourth) round, he quit. After I cut him open and I put vicious ground-and-pound, he was done. He told his coaches he was done. He was just looking for a way out.

Didn't Colby "Chaos" Covid-19-ton get finished in his fight with Kamaru "Kamala" Snoozeman over a similar injury in the fifth, only to the jaw?

No it was a ref stoppage in the fifth with Colby covering on his knees. He fought three with the fractured jaw and it was even going onto the 5th.
You can find the fight on YT. Great slugfest.

Yes, you should.

Woodley is done he probably was mentally out after the Nigerian loss

Dana White will do what's best for business. He is a professional at the post-fight, press conferences.
Hello? The Don King of mixed martial arts. They all follow the playbook that works. Until it doesnt.....

so black life matter tapped lol
I'm surprised this hasn't sparked international riots yet.
I wish Colby Chaos Covid-19-ton had leaned/kneeled on his neck for the tap.

Sounds like the Lawler vs. MacDonald fights.

I didn't have strong feelings about him one way or another. When I saw that -- forget it. Just another entitled, ungrateful nig.

Having a compelling personality and schtick helps to increase your marketability and fill the seats but in the end, as in virtually all things in life, it's winning that matters and gets people to love you. Fedor and Anderson Silva were hardly charismatic figures but people wanted to see them. To see how long they can go undefeated.

At the pre fight press conference he answered every question with "black lives matter". That's why I enjoyed seeing him get pounded on the ground and leave the ring tapping from broken rib pain. 👏🏻

I didn't see that but just now watched the 3 minute interview. Jeeze, poor guy. So oppressed. What a tool. So sick of these guys now.

Hypocrites just like the rest of them. Glad Colby called them all out.
In no way is he racist. Check out some of the ladies on his IG.😅
One is BMC/Kwon thread worthy.

I wish I saved the video where Colby is out in public and having a chat with a fan. The kid asked him what it takes and what he should do to as he wanted to become a UFC champ. Colby talked about all the sacrifices you have to make. The discipline it took. He mentions all the things he missed out on during his teen and college years, the parties and other social events. Using all his free time to train... I was kind of surprised at how humble and soft spoken he was. The kid was too and mentioned how much different he was in person and how he should show this side of him more. Colby replied that that is just how it is. The UFC is show business. Even when he was winning he was about to be cut. You have to be an entertainer if you want to be successful and make money. You don't last long in this business and you have to make the most of it.

A bit of that side came out of him when he dedicated his win to first responders and police. He talked about how police are being vilified by media etc. He really delved into it all.
For sure you are one injury or punch away from it all ending. Try to get that big pay day and save/invest your money.

Here's the vid I was taking about. "I wish I could. It's not what sells." Is the line I was trying to remember. Look at the kid's face. You can tell he was really touched and moved by Colby. It really made an impression that will stay with him for life and motivate him to pursue his dreams.

If GSP was a worthless fighter, it wouldn't matter if he had the most Compelling Personality in the world or the Handsome face of Henda, he wouldn't last long in the UFC.
An example is John Fitch, he kept winning and winning (with his what Dana White thought, very boring style and personality, ie non marketable) and Dana still wanted to boot him, which he eventually did.
If you have an exciting style that KOs people with spectacular moves/can ragdoll opponents and dominate them in brutal fashion, you don't even need to be able to talk the language and can have the compelling personality of Uncle Joon and the handsome face of Queen Vissy and still can be marketable lol
