Dangersim posted:Flyweight division needs some work. All the divisions need work except 155 & 170 since the rest only have 1 or 2 real challengers at any given moment and an injury could gently caress it all up. Other than that you're always looking at rematches, dudes who failed drug tests, guys coming off a loss, or injured dudes. So flyweight isn't really any worse off than the others, just Cariaso has no name recognition whatsoever so it makes the decision seem worse than it is.

If you watch a decent amount of Muay Thai, this is how throws out of the clinch often play out, and that trip is very much one of those (except foot sweeps like that are technically not kosher in MT). e: for your not-giving-a-gently caress pleasure: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sqCPn4-eB5A Gregor Samsa fucked around with this message at 22:25 on Jul 21, 2014 |

Flyweights have really good fighters too except Demetrious Johnson fights every few months so he's beaten all the top guys in little over a year. if he spaced out his fights more like Weidman then he would still have 1 or 2 top guys remaining, and it would give UFC more time to build dudes like Seery/Lineker/Makovsky/Formiga/Cariaso/etc. into dudes you might care about watching fight for the title.

The heavyweight division is in pretty bad shape too. It's a division where the shambling corpse of Frank Mir is still ranked at number 10 for crying out loud.

Heavyweight is actually in the worst shape. Werdum is a great challenger but after that you have tons of dudes who are coming off of a loss and Overeem whose last 2 years have been hilarious and disappointing. Hunt/Nelson is the only good fight coming up and there's really no way to not make that a title eliminator unless Miocic gets another win under his belt that isn't from a middleweight.

The only way to save heavyweight is to make it competitive. We've got to get Velasquez and JDS to retire.

Rumble Johnson should quit cutting weight altogether and fight at 265 cause I guarantee he would be fighting for a title before long. Andrei Arlovski is one of only five guys in the entire top 15 that are currently riding on a win streak. Rumble already has more recent wins at UFC's current heavyweight division than 80% of the division. lmao

Heavyweight is pretty cool as long as you don't give a gently caress who has the belt. Cain can tour Mexico building his name as a UFC branded luchadore for a year as far as I'm concerned and return periodically when someone new miraculously manages to take out two/three gatekeepers in a row without making GBS threads the bed somehow. Edit: I'm such a raging nerd I'm not sure if that was a reference to claw balrog, boxer balrog or the balrog in LOTR.

Man, I remember being really excited about heavyweight about two or three years ago with Lesnar/Carwin/Reem/Cain/JDS. Then Carwin turned into a shambling old man, Lesnar retired, Reem did some embarrassing things, and JDS/Cain fought three times and got played out. Outside of the long shot rise of Hunt, Werdum's been the only guy who's looked kinda impressive in the meantime.

It's really a shame that Shane Carwin was made out of balsa wood, and that Brock Lesnar doesn't believe in potatoes with his meat, and that the UFC started testing for the Ooze from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
