Yeah manhoef may be a middleweight but his power denies the laws of physics.

Ben Askren talks a lot of poo poo for a guy who's best win is a split decision over jay hieron.

Vag Assault Weapon posted:What was the deal with the octagon size at the Bendo vs Dos Anjos event? I remember WEC used a smaller cage but the Bendo/DA cage looked even smaller than that was. It was the wec size cage. The event in Macau was the same day and used the full size cage. I would think they have more then one but who knows.

He's definitely gotten better but it's important to remember he is really fast and athletic in addition to hitting hard. Seeing how he does with a really solid technical dude in Mousasi will be really interesting.

I think the angle is screwing it up a bit, I've never met weidman but I've met overeem and he is hilariously broad shouldered. Also weidman looks a little chubby while Alistair is in fight shape. Wouldn't be surprised if Chris is about 230 here.

For real though I'm at a loss for how charges got dropped, I know some guys who train with Pablo and from what they told me he went outside to calm him down and got threatened too. I know florida is a joke but still.

Marching Powder posted:yeah, but when i'm half the world away and know nearly no details i shouldn't passionately object to some rear end in a top hat returning to work. i don't only assess peoples characters on criminal convictions you crazy person or convicted felons would be the only assholes From what I have heard through the grapevine Thiago is usually a great guy but has anger problems. Like I've heard of him flipping the gently caress out and destroying an over matched dude in sparring after he got caught with a hard shot.

Marching Powder posted:intriguing, yeah. nightmare, maybe not. jacare hits hard, but weidmaan can stand and win against lyoto and silva, so we'll assume he isn't threatened by jacare there. weidman's wrestling is a whole shitload better than mousasi's, who jacare had to legitimately work to drop. also, weidman's jits is by all accounts loving excellent. Weidman has very good jiu jitsu but jacare is pretty widely considered one of the absolute greatest of all time.

fatherdog posted:Plenty of people have a chance against him, and Jacare is one of them. Nobody has a particularly good chance against him, because he is a very, very good fighter who is a bad matchup for most of his division. These are essentially my feelings. 1st AD posted:I think a tall and rangy striker who can defend takedowns and maintain output/not gas has a good shot against Weidman, especially in a 5 round fight with MMA judging being what it is. Weidman would always have the opportunity to hit someone really hard and/or submit them, however. So Luke Rockhold?

An important thing everyone is neglecting is that Anderson and machida had to worry about the takedown while jacare doesnt.

Bluedeanie posted:Hence Anderson goading to provoke a standing attack in the hopes of finding a counter, getting knocked out from the clinch in their rematch and Machida not being able to use lateral movement because Weidman cut him off? Weidman feints all the time so you don't know if a punch or the takedown is coming.

MagicCube posted:Eh, well I just rewatched the first Weidman/Silva and if Weidman plays on the ground like he did against Silva I think Jacare would be able to take advantage of it much better than Silva did. However, it's kind of moot as well because I'm sure Weidman/Longo is smart enough to adjust the gameplan against someone better on the ground than him and not do the same against Jacare. Weidman wasn't playing at all against silva on the ground, he was trying to finish the fight.

"if i suddenly got put on the spot with a mic in my face on Brazilian TV after just getting beaten up for 15 minutes I bet i would say some really cool and coherent poo poo for sure" - me, goon who only speaks english and cant run 40 yards without getting winded The best was when Joe Rogan was pushing Anderson for a major life decision seconds after receiving a serious concussion, and while he was visibly trying to process how to handle having the most embarrassing thing in the history of combat sports happen to him.

The first card I paid actual money for involved Sean Sherk laying on Hermes Franca for 25 minutes and for some reason I stuck around. Actually that's probably why I love Anderson because he clowned Marqaudt right after that.

Will2Powa posted:I watch mma and know what the fighters look like. I consider some of the brazillion and hispanic fighters white(like condit or jds) based on what they would pass as and probably be defined as within those communities and I also considered fighters from the caucasus as white. Either way, whites still make a higher proportion when compared to other races. Which does contest the original sentiment that MMA is dominated by minorities. A decent showing of minorities, sure. But not "dominated". Why do you think about this so much. Why is anyone thinking about this so much.
