Some good fights coming up in the UFC. Are we good to talk about all combat sports here or would it be better to have a separate thread? I don’t mind either way

Based on the first fight, and Fury being fitter this time and changing up his camp, I don’t see any way out of this for Wilder other than a rogue cut or another silly decision.
Fury’s mind games are perfect, he’s not wading in playing the silly ****, he’s telling him he’s gonna go toe to toe with him, KO him in 2 rounds, that trick he pulled with the chair was planned and executed brilliantly. Fury is in Wilder’s head without the antics already, rest assured DW is spinning all over the place today.
I agree and I hope you're right , but they've set it all up to avoid a full press tour to avoid fury scrambling wilders brain
Imo wilder winning is bad for boxing because he cannot box , but his power really is like nothing seen before. Fury managed to passed 12 and the decision essentially meant he has to go 24 without getting hit.
Wilder was awful last time out against Ortiz, he’d lost every round, including the 7th when it finished, but....he just nailed him with one brutal shot.
Same as he did with Fury in the 12th of their first fight.
If Fury can somehow avoid one of his bombs then he’ll win the fight on points. The jive talk about needing to knock him out in order to win, is just that. He knows he can comfortably outbox Wilder, I’m just not sure he can avoid one of Wilders brutal shots for 36 minutes, and neither is he imho.
Trust me mate he’ll be in Wilder’s head now. He’s not gonna go toe to toe with Wilder, nobody would. But he’s said it now so and you know fine well Wilder will be chasing that slugfest in the ring.
If Fury wins the next one he’ll claim he doesn’t give a **** about the belt or the man anymore, devaluing the third fight altogether.
Wilder is awful thats why I think hes a stain on the sweet science... that polish football holigan did the same against him
The thing is he needs 1 shot over 12 rounds and not even a big shot ... just straight down the middle.. its so unlikley for him not to strike .
Describing the unbeaten Wilder as a ‘stain’ on the sport is incredibly dismissive of his achievements in the game so far. He’s put down every opponent he’s been in with, only Fury somehow managed to avoid the KO.
I’m looking forward to this rematch, albeit I think it’ll likely be a dull affair in the early rounds. Fury knows this guy can spark him now, and mentally that’s going to be tough for him to face. You could also argue the converse, that Wilder knows this guy has felt his power and got back on his feet. Which makes the fight fascinating.
I’d have loved to be there for this one tbh, but the decent seats were over $4k a pop.
Fury is far too good at defending himself. He’s not going to be that arrogant in the last rounds this time either because he knows the judges are gonna be bent as ****.
If I was a betting man I’d say Wilder will feign injury during the fight to save face.
I think you've misunderstood.
Im not discrediting what hes achieved, but I believe it makes a mockery of the art of boxing.
I am looking fwd to it also, but I think this time its light out for fury.
Then i think wilder will possibly kill joshua. Chinny
I dunno i think wilders pretty tough.. he gets his face punched in for every round by heavy weights thats hard to do ... but i really hope youre right.
I think it’s a shame he’s never bothered to engage a decent coach tbh, as if his boxing skills came even vaguely close to his brutal punching power, he’d be a hall of famer.
I tend to agree about the result tbh. He always seems to find a way to land, and the mental edge he’ll have will likely just about see him home. Albeit I doubt I’ll bet on it, as Fury could dance round him for 12 rounds as he looks in really good shape again.
I’ll defo stay up for this one, unmissable if you’re a boxing fan imo.
As for Joshua, I doubt he’ll ever be daft enough to get in the ring with Wilder personally. Albeit the lure of the dosh might prove to be too big an opportunity to turn down. It’d fill Wembley and likely be the biggest PPV in history.
