After watching his training videos, I’ll be surprised if Barboza last more than 1 round. He will be knocked out or submitted but will be fun to watch, both are top athletes.
The real spectacle will be Holm vs Cyborg, that is going to be an striking war. Looking forward for Dec 30th, very good card to finish the year.
He’s had shit advice for years though. I’m guessing he thought he would always have a hard time with the fight weight, compared to what he walks around at.
A change in staff, and he’s now cutting weight like a pro.
Looking to smash smaller opponents rather than moving up to 170 like RDA. And he talks about doing it for the challenge of fighting the best, for the pride and where he comes from(watch the video I posted above where he says that).
BTW the weigh in just finished and he(khabib) made weight, it was like 155. 5 and Barbara 155. Holly and cyborg both looked like zombies. By far the worst looking during the event.
I thing it was GSP who said he felt sorry for the way she was smashing her opponents, that she was too violent:ok_hand:, I will look for the interview and post it later.
Tomorrow will be a great night for MMA fans, the card is great., looking forward to watch cyborg she is so exciting to watch fighting.
Certainly doesn’t look like a guy that can make 145. Kevin Lee needs to get himself a nutritionist too, he & Khabib are capable of cleaning this division out if they can make weight comfortably.
Despite what he said, I think the actual plan is 2 fights at 155 and then 170 (IIRC Joe Rogan or Schaub said one of his coaches said this).
