So I am going to give this sport a go.
Please post details of the next fight worth watching and who the best fighters are
Every time I see a post in the Muhammad Ali and the fight game thread, I think it is boxing, hence this more specific thread.

I have enjoyed watching George St. Pierre fight.

Yay!
I'd fight MMA. I guess that makes me a redneck? Oh noes, how will I go on with MO's disapprobation?

Sport at its finest.

sorry for the confusion, I started the thread to point out how much Ali had influenced a particular mma fighter, Dominic Cruz. I'll try to provide a little context for you prior to the next mma card.
There are 11 weight classes (3 women, 8 men) and of those respective weight classes the belt holders are:
3 Brazilians
3 African Americans
1 Irishman (white)
1 Englishman (white)
1 Polish (white)
2 white Americans
There are no rednecks among the 5 belt holders who are Caucasian.
Francis Ngannou is going to be a legitimate problem for anyone. I was talking to friends last week about the fact that after we watching the first fight with miocic I couldn't believe that he was actually able to even last two rounds. He had the adrenaline dump and somehow managed to not get put out until the 5th. Now that he knows how to sprawl and even reverse takedown attempts I can't wait to see what he does
I am not a huge GSP fan. I always felt like he was the king of getting a takedown and doing nothing with it. Which is fine because the opponent doesn't want to get taken down, etc.
I did love his all around style, and when people took pot shots at his retirement I thought it was absurd. He's a legend. He always came off as a great guy. The sport is better with him in it. I'm glad he's back, but I can't say that I'm a huge fan.
