junior gypsy you talk too much!
the way is to support werdun now.
Junior gypsy, man, forget about this sport, you will always have Cain Velasquez as your opponent, become a doctor, something else, man, or even a banana salesman, that's not for you, no CRITICISM, you will always have Cain Velasquez in front of you, and if you are going to fight against him again and lose IT'S GOING TO BE EVEN MORE SHAMEFUL YOU REPEATED THE SAME FIGHT YOU LOST YOU DON'T KNOW HOW TO PUT YOUR LEFT HAND INTO YOUR FACE MAN AND PUNCH A RIGHT OR EVEN CATCH HIM AND DROP HIM ON THE WAIST
It wasn't a fight, it was a beating, only Velasquez hit, Cigano didn't want to leave the net where he knows he's weak and didn't throw a sequence of blows when he could, and also...
Junior Cigano, you fight a lot, and a warrior, losing is part of it, let's go, you and our champion.
If you think this because you watched the fight, you have no respect for one, you won't have respect for the other, go watch ballet
You're the one who talks too much, you don't understand anything about fighting and you want to give your opinion. Every fighter is subject to this, it's a series of factors that involve, he didn't choose a good strategy for the fight but he's one of the greatest fighters in the UFC.
Nice fight, gypsy, Cain was scared of the frank exchange
Cain is the no. 1st of all, I would like to see jj get beaten by him lol
like Junio, a gypsy and an idiot, this guy is a black belt with a character like that, my friend uses legs, damn it, I wasn't even watching the whole fight, he just threw a kick, like Andersso Silva, he uses his legs, damn it, he jokes in a big way, shit, if you continue like this, you'll lose them all, use a penalty, train 300000 kicks a day, only then will you see the difference between Edson do Recife-
He's tired of being beaten, and being hit with a heavy weight is heavy!!
The gypsy took a beating until the fifth round!! It's difficult for anyone to take down Velasquez, but in terms of morality, it's a bloody fight. Wow, there were so many slaps on the ear that the gypsy almost went crazy!!
kkkkkkk it almost went crazy this was good lol I cracked
This site is rated 10 in comments about fights, keep it up for the better, a hug
Velasquez fights doped fdp
This annoying Velasquez made the fight ugly, with the fight tense, but the gypsy never took as many hits as he did that day. It's unfortunate..but we're Brazilian, we'll know if the fight wasn't already fixed.
I was already expecting the gypsy's defeat... he talked about starting a career in boxing because he already knew it would be difficult to beat the champion! lol (and he better be careful in boxing too)
Gypsy is very good but Velasquez is MUCH superior.
man what boxing is he going to do what a career he's going to do lol he's going to die like this when he's fighting
I would like to know why the gypsy doesn't hit Velasquez, only with Velasquez he fights without hitting?
Go back to your original profession kid..I support you but this time it was………terrible.
And for you, Dana White, I know that the Cigano x Velásquez fight was a combination of results, after all, you need a title based on your gestures, I understand that it's possible that no one sees it just me!!!
Talking about conspiracy theories, and that Brazilians are bad losers when it comes to MMA, is disregarding the astronomical amount of dollars in bets and advertising that goes on behind the scenes at events like the UFC. In fact, it's much more than that: it's naivety.
Anyone who knows the sport knows that the UFC is not PRIDE, and that Americans are not Japanese. Not that there is no corruption in Japan, or anywhere else in the world, but the difference is that if a Japanese person is caught stealing, they are likely to “put” a bullet in their head out of shame for their family.
Anyone who knows the gypsy junior, who saw him train in the fight academies in Barra, in Salvador-BA, even before he was a famous and successful fighter, knows about this athlete's aggressive style and strength.
What I mean by this is that “the game” brought to the ring by Cigano in edition 166 of the UFC is not “the game” we know from Cigano. It's as if Velásquez was fighting a sedated opponent, with both hands tied behind his back, and yet he had great difficulty winning that sparring-style confrontation. I've seen situations like this happen at Mr. White's UFC events, and honestly, it's getting boring. Even the fights are taking longer: because a fighter who knocks out at 0'20'' of the fight doesn't gain an audience, he doesn't pay the advertising budget. You don't even have to be very intelligent to realize this, or do you?
As for me, I'm losing interest in this type of “spectacle” and I'm going to stop following it. If Dana thinks he can make a clown of viewers, and write the results of the fights like the script of a trashy soap opera while filling his pockets, at least it won't be with my help.
But for those who are satisfied with being treated like fools by the UFC, which is more like those Mexican wrestling shows, the North American police are investigating a million-dollar bet on Anderson Silva's defeat to Chis Weidman. After all, who would, in their right mind, bet US$1 million on an underdog? Maybe someone who had the gift of clairvoyance, or talked to ETs, I don't know. You see, the gambler was depressed and decided to “waste” the money in a very stupid way, just to punish himself, but, unfortunately for him, exactly the opposite happened and he doubled the amount in less than 24 hours. After all, what type of investment on planet Earth would give such a return? In fact, how much is the savings account yielding (per month)?! Now I'm going to send an email to Dana to see if he includes me in “some dirty scheme”. I have a new champion for him. He doesn't fight at all, but he photographs well. Oh! Soon we will have the title back in Anderson's hands, and the UFC will make a few thousand more dollars, as usual. Oh! I forgot! Anderson won't win: he kind of said in the last interview that he was going to retire. Fights like these are like the dream of retirement. It's big money, friend.
I wasted a little time reading all this shit you posted. Wake up, crazy... Gypsy would gain a lot more by becoming the belt holder again... and another thing, I wouldn't want to get beaten up by anyone, not even for 50 million dollars, much less from Cain... whoever bets 1 million, has another 500 million To spend, don't talk nonsense. Cigano lost, he fought hard but Cain deserved it. And Cigano had to get beaten up a little more, to stop using that shitty shield on his chest.
AGAIN THE GYPSY SHOWN THAT HE WAS NOT PREPARED AND LET CAIN DOMINATE. HE WAS ALWAYS RETREATING AND SHOULD HAVE GONE UP WITH EVERYTHING.
As long as Cigano is fighting for Corinthians, it will only be defeats…. Since he joined this team, he's been nothing but pissed off….
Cigano held firm, resisted several blows, but unfortunately the result of the fight was expected. It's difficult to contain Velasquez's fighting style and grip, who proved to be very efficient in the fight.
The Brazilian lacks the resources that the American has, an excellent combination of standing and ground fighting, with his sharp boxing and impeccable wrestling.
They forgot to tell Cigano that it was MMA. Better luck next time.
This Cain Velasquez guy was lucky!
He just kept pushing Júnior Cigano to the side because he knew that if he didn't do that, he would lose fatally. You saw how much Cigano resisted, wanted and deserved to win. Which unfortunately didn't happen!
Cigano, congratulations on this truly epic, incredible fight!
“THIS CAIN VELASQUEZ GUY”? I can see that you don't know about Ultimate Fight Championschip, really, hey... You're just in the bloody house son, don't make me laugh... Velasquez is much more complete both in strike with his very refined boxing and in wrestling, he turned up gypsy and could have more how many more fights, gypsy doesn't fight head on, and the only one who was lucky was gypsy in that first victory, when Cain Velasquez had been out of action for over a year (y)
Cain, the Best Heavyweight in the World of recent times. Complete. It gave logic and that was it!
very good
It's no use, the guy doesn't raise his fucking guard!!! give it there
This Cain is shit, he spent the entire fight clinging to Cigano’s rotten tactic…
Velasquez canceled Cigano's game, who only has one quick punch, Velazquez closed the distance and tired Cigano. He didn't do anything more than that.
damn gypsy! you let the guy beat you the whole fight. you lacked willpower.
I think this gypsy coach and fisherman because all the time the gypsy just stayed in the hammocks, he's going to dance like a better gypsy or he's going to say that this time you were having family problems again....
Tiago Fino Short stands out in the 61kg bantamweight category
Velásquez “won”, but “DID NOT DEFEAT” Junior Cigano. He avoided striking as much as possible, winning due to fatigue. Congratulations Gypsy, you are a champion!
Cain Velásquez “won”, but did not “defeat” Junior Cigano. He avoided the exchange and won due to fatigue.
WHAT A BEATING THE GYPSY TAKEN… LOL
This guy doesn't know how to fight without grabbing, right? She looks like a whore all the time wanting a male.
Guys, most of you who commented don't know what fighting is...I just read comments that didn't even make any sense...go train and then talk about fighting...
Junior didn't chicken out but he got the worst of it and to make it even worse when he ironed the tie he left his head in trouble congratulations on not giving Velasques just the face to hit but softening his flesh too
I await your return in support of a legitimate warrior T+
OSS
CONGRATULATIONS JUNIOR
Junior didn't shy away but he got the worst of it and to make things even worse, when he ironed the tie he left his head hanging, congratulations for not giving Velasques just the face to hit but softening his flesh too
I await your return in support of a legitimate warrior T+
OSS.
Junior has to train more and fight with his guard up, he hardly ever kicks.
Another embarrassment for Brazilians… Weak gypsy!!!
It's a shame to see what UFC has become!!! In a fight without manipulation, Junior would never lose this fight.
I know junior
Maybe when Cigano learns to put his guard up, he'll be able to stand up to Cain Velasque. who comes from a very good boxing school…he looks like a steak, raises his guard Gyganoooo…
Gypsy, I'm your fan, but you need new coaches, hire Ricardo Dabaga, you'll see what real boxing is, a hug.
I honestly don't know what's going on in the head of a trainer who trains Gypsy, he already knew what was going to happen and made the same mistakes as in the last fight, he didn't evolve and he didn't prepare….Learn Gypsy, boxing is no good…
It's incredible that it was a fight that only saw Cain Velasquez fighting.
It's no use, if Brazil loses in football and playmaking, if it loses in UFC it's playmaking, are we unbeatable in everything, are you serious?
If Brazil loses in football, it's a set-up, if it loses in the UFC, it's a set-up, are we unbeatable? Speaks seriously
you and other gypsies….
the best strategy is the winning one, Cain completely nullified the gypsy…
Cain is already very good, he still fought intelligently, of course he won
the gypsy also, he let the guy play his game, of course he was going to lose
WHAT IS CERTAIN IS THAT GYPSY MADE THE WRONG PREPARATION, HE HAD TO INVEST IN AEROBIC, IN ACTIVE GAS, ONLY TRAINING AFTER WORKING OUT VERY HARD, IMPROVING CATCH FIGHTING AND JIU-JITSU, BECAUSE IN HAND HE (CAIN) KNEW HE WAS GOING TO LOSE . IT'S MMA, YOU HAVE TO TRY TO LEVEL THE ARTS BROTHER, I KNOW YOUR TEAM IS TOP BUT, THIS FIGHT WAS IN YOUR FACE, IT WAS GOING TO BE ENDURANCE, RESISTANCE. THE GUY JUST TAKEN THE POWER OUT OF HIS ARMS.
junio pow trains kicks pow like that you kill us all with shame cassette I train capoeira if you want me you give perfect kicks old man don't do that my friend the guy was on top of you all the time you didn't give a kick
junio pow trains kicks pow like that you kill us all with shame cassette I train capoeira if you want me you give perfect kicks old man don't do that my friend dude was on top of you all the time you didn't give a kick dude be ashamed damn train but run punch a stone so you knock this guy down important warning, train a lot of kicks, a thousand kicks a day, here's my recipe, my number is 81 84598922
Cain only knows how to fight grappling! the Gypsy should have realized this and fallen into it in an explosion of direct blows! Cigano has more body than Cain! Cigano in the next fight against Cain, don't let him keep grabbing you, when he sees you, you'll fall for him with several direct punches and put him down.
Even losing
just the fact of being Brazilian is already a time for all of us
This gypsy only knows how to comment on fights
Gypsy: an immobile fighter.
Congratulations to Cigano, he took a lot of beatings, but Cain grabbed a lot, the fight always ended with the American's grip, when it comes to striking I'm more of a Cigano, but Cain landed some blows that confused the Brazilian, but congratulations Cigano, you are the guy.
junior you should retire because fighting again will be another massacre. just caught
I thought Velasquez used the punch and grab strategy several times, Cigano could have noticed and tried another fighting strategy!
This shit is not for striking.
CAIN VELASQUEZ. THE BRAZILIAN KILLER……
Congratulations to the site!
Cain's physical strength made the difference, he looks like an angry Tiger hunting, so we can't do what the people who are criticizing the gypsy do, we have to see that Cain Velasques is a very prepared fighter in terms of his repertoire of blows, without a doubt the best and the Cigano He endured a lot, half of those who speak badly don't even know what it is to fight or hit a punching bag, let's comment respectfully on a guy who has already given us joy, but here and in Brazil the “People” only value victory… Cain no. 1 Gypsy number 2 in the world!
The guy was a warrior, he's very tough, he can take a lot of hits...I think he needs more qualified trainers...I've only seen him boxing...he needs to improve other martial arts!! For me, an example of this is that Belfort changed his fighting style the most..
there was a lack of clinical eye….blows coming in….I guarantee that the only thing missing was technique…..resistance against technique doesn't solve it….finally Velasques used a dirty blow…he pushed, pushed against the fence using fatigue and finally pulled, trapping the arms and he threw the gypsy's forehead against the ground... and it was over... without vision... there is no victory
Gypsy!! You are a disgrace. You shouldn't wear the Brazilian flag on your clothes. He's not audacious, much less an MMA fighter. Get out. Change parents. I should have caught a lot more.
Why the hell didn't the gypsy use his larger wingspan as an advantage, and even in Cain's grapple he could have hit him a little, I don't want to say much more but it looks like he was a little scared.
with this sura!!! I thought twice about trying a rematch because this was 2 sura for 1 men. It's 10 times to believe or still believe that there will be a 3th cup.
Gypsy doesn't have a strategy to beat Velasque, his game Velasque already knows what it is.
GYPSY FOR ME AND CHAMPION OF THE PEOPLE.
Cigano, you gave Velasquez a lot of chances to beat... you're certainly much better than him... I think you didn't really believe in this fight... because you had everything to win... but all the best... good luck
the gypsy is very slow, and has no rhythm, it's just size, shit

It's Gypsy Sandra Rosa Madalena. She is the woman who lives only to be beaten. Suck it Gypsy, see if you go home now to crochet, wash and iron. UFC was never for you.
I'm reading people's comments and laughing a lot. Velasquez is a monster and showed it in this fight, and the gypsy is a hell of a fighter, but there's no way around it, the guy is a beast!
It's not difficult to see that Cain has a lot more tricks than Cigano and physical preparation in terms of resistance, there are people here who say that he avoids exchanging with Cigano, in my opinion, yes, a little...but I also notice that Cigano hasn't been successful on the feet either. because Velasquez connects the blows very well, Cigano's departure is to change the training focusing on wrestlers and muay thai because only boxing will always be this Velasquez tour
There was a lack of resistance. You have a blow. Train your resistance more.
Cigano only won the 1st fight by luck, with no comparison between the velasquéz x cigano. The other 2 fights were just a massacre by the Maxican!
fighter who talks a lot, gets hit a lot
fighter who talks a lot gets hit a lot
Gypsy is unable to fight Velasquez for all the time Gypsy was unable to put his strategies to defeat Velasquez because Velasquez has not left his morale or Gypsy or Gypsy is afraid of the guy or else he goes back to train again because he forgot everything he learned hahaha
It's part of it, the guy is a stupid shell, he just wants to be there and who knows what the weight of the glove is.
Bla bla bla bla!!! I can't understand why the gypsy's coach doesn't tell him that fighting just defending himself is impossible to sell. While Cain fights head-on, looking at his target, the gypsy fights all the time sideways, defensively waiting for the blow to counter-strike his opponent. It is said that he fights Karate because he does not anticipate the blow, because Cain always finds distance and gypsy, what kind of training is that/ I don't understand with a frame like that and you don't know how to use it, for God's sake. I don't want to believe he sold himself to get so much. Damn Brazil is always Brazil so many good people in martial arts here and the gypsy. It's worth noting how brave but! There's a lot missing there.
Cigano is going to learn a little jiu jitsu any other fighter would have grabbed Velasquez's neck and finished this guy, this cain won't last long with that belt and not the ugliest fighting style, that's just the gypsy to lose twice to a guy this bad….
Fabricio Verdum won't even last the 1st round against Cain Velásquez, Cigano went until the end and proved to be a tough fighter and the only one capable of beating Velásquez once...criticizing is easy, difficult and he's fighting in the gypsy junior's place...thumbs up ..
Wow, you're a good gypsy but it looks like you fought with fear, get on with it, this one isn't even good
Where are the gypsy's trainers? How can they let a boxer like him stay on the fence? They didn't see that the guy's game was to take away space, they messed up badly, Velasquez's corner used the fence as an ally... Gypsy, I fight alone, if it was a straight fight he would have had a better chance, he needed space and movement to let the guy run after him.....
Hey guys, can you learn to write first, it's horrible.
go back to school, then you go back to posting, the nonsense you post, ok!
It made me angry to see this fight. The coach said, boo the blows!, guard up! He didn't do any of that!
I think he needs a new brain...
…Impressive, he trains alongside AS and didn’t use elbows or kicks… Cain smashed it!
the gypsy is not prepared, he doesn't know how to fight on the ground, he doesn't know how to defend himself or counter attack, mainly he doesn't have a guard, so if the fight doesn't start well then it's for the gypsy, I think he needs new trainers and especially a new brain because this one doesn't work anymore due to the amount of beating it took, raise your guard, gypsy, otherwise you'll need a new face hahaha
THAT, LATELY THEY JUST CATCH AND NOTHING ELSE, IT SHOULD HAVE FALLEN ON 1 RAUDE, SO THEY DON'T CATCH SO MUCH.
gypsy man, you are a warrior, congratulations.
