    basically....just ran across this video, never heard of the channel


    too bad when you talk trash, you have to back it up....everyone isnt cut from that clothe.

    in this era, people want the accolades before they put in the work.

    They can say what they want about Floyd....like they chastised Ali....he runs, doesnt go to the body, he cant punch, he is nothing but a big mouth and so on and so on...he backed it up and put in the work to talk trash....look at their resumes then look at ronda rousey's and conor Mcgregor...they have a long way to go before they get anywhere near their)ali and pbf) success


    some people appreciate a good loser, a good effort more than a dominant or outright winner

    I like winners....they are motivating

Id bet a paycheck he mops the floor with Macgregor, I honestly think he is going to make Macgregor look really bad, so bad I dont think theyll be career recovery.
      I'm as casual MMA fan as well and would have to agree with the fact Dos Anjos is a monster and one hell of a ju-jitsu practitioner. Dana White although in some ways a great promoter but lacks the intelligence to make big fights even bigger. White should have convinced McGregor to fight Diaz to build reputation a 155. Instead being thrown in with the wolves against a bigger version of Aldo. Plus it would have made for a bigger UFC 200

        EXACTLY what I was thinking bro! Nate wouldve been a quick $ grab and a welcoming to 155. As for dos anjos the dude has great jits and is built like a collegiate wrestler. His kicks to the lead leg are crazy fast and hard to which is why I think Dos Anjos has the advantage in every aspect of the fight, stand-up, clinch, and ground.

          Agreed... I dangerous fight for Mcgregor, more so than Dos Anjos. White is always quick to lose his cash cows, throwing them in a fire with no water.... I personally think Mcgregor is a interesting fighter, but he lacks ground game that Mendes showed in what little time he did. Dos Anjos is a much more well rounded fighter than 99% of the fighters McGregor has fought outside of Aldo; who is past prime.

          I like McGregor but his style is perfect for Dos Anjos. Much like Ronda Rousey and Holly Holmes. People were so high on Rousey, they bet she could beat up a former 2 time boxing champ(19 title defenses) and a woman yet to be taken down in her MMA career... The dumbest thing I've seen, throw in a girl with little boxing technique(people claimed her coach was an elite boxing coach... That Dude don't know sh** about boxing) and expect her to KO that girl who only lost once by KO(if memory serves correctly) in which she showed more heart than most men.

          Holly and Rafeal are gonna become the two biggest stars but won't because we see the obvious bias toward fights from the promoter. Which is sad.

            mcgregor was the underdog against aldo and opened up as the underdog against dos anjos although the public has bet him up to the slight fav as of now. i don't see how that is the same as ronda being a 20 to 1 fav against everyone. mcgregor is intriguing because he's not expected to win and yet still does. ronda was the opposite. she was intriguing because of her domination.

              in the end this is just a floyd fanboy video. don't hate on floyd!!!! haha you got knocked out floyd is the best! how can you compare boxing to ufc? 2 dozen world champs in 5 divisions yeah that's because boxing has 4 times more world champs and a hell of a lot more divisions. competition is going to be much tougher in ufc since it's so concentrated. losing is bound to happen at a higher percentage. also ufc fighters don't have the same power as boxers. conor can't force dos anjos to wear pillow gloves, fight in a huge cage, and have a ref who lets him hold the cage every time dos anjos tries for a take down. i think that would increase his chances of winning greatly yet when boxers do that its just greatness that's all. greatness.

                Mcgregor's gonna be the next one. He's finally moving up weight, which he shoulda done a while ago.
