Bisping is a pretty good fighter, but being a thin-skinned whiny manchild who can dish it out but not take it is never cool.

ICHIBAHN posted:Hmm. How can I be less stupid please Greggy? You've posted a lot of stupid poo poo, and people have responded by pointing out you've said a lot of stupid poo poo, and you've responded like an angry infant. This pattern is likely to repeat itself. Either ignore it, or respond with something funny instead of "gently caress off" or angry gibberish, because if I open a page of a thread and see a couple of funny burns from other posters and a bunch of shitposts from you, you're the one getting probated. I'm not your dad (probably) and I don't care who started it.

Rogan's openly said that if he had to choose between announcing UFC and his standup tours he'd pick the standup tours. He's missed one or two shows this year because they conflicted with his standup; it's likely he just has no interest in trying to work around the schedule of a regular Fox gig.

MrSmokes posted:The moment from Machida/Weidman that stood out the most to me was at the very end, after Machida attacked with one last flurry to try to finish Weidman off, and Weidman responded by beckoning him in a "that's all you got?" way. Weidman just gives no fucks. What a moment to cap off that fight. (lovely gif but I could not find another) Machida is great but honestly this was one of the greatest moments. Bundt Cake posted:Doerksen was the best fighter with a bad chin. In fact I think he did one of his classic give it away due to bad chin fights against Dollaway. Doerkson was beating the living poo poo out of Dolloway right up until the point he got punched to death.

In the past, the deal was always they'd do an interim as long as the champ had a scheduled date for his return, but if there was no time frame for return they'd be stripped. I believe the eventual Dominic Cruz stripping was the result of them deciding to switch to having a specified time frame instead, so this is probably just the second example of that.

But yeah I'm happy for no more doubleheaders, at least until the talent catches up to it. Sometimes it's just about which venues are available when.

If I was running things in Milwaukee the cornermen would lose their licenses and the ref and doctor would not only lose their licenses but possibly get charged with reckless endangerment. When you're in the ring/cage you are in the absolutely worst position to make rational, logical decisions you've likely ever been in your life. You depend on the referee, the doctor, and your corner to keep you safe when you can't do so, and every single one of them failed that poor kid.

Bluedeanie posted:I forget the names of the people involved, but I know there was a boxing match in the '80s where an Asian guy died. I know that's the reason boxing titles are 12 rounds instead of 15, and I remember reading the ref involved eventually killed himself. Did he face legal or licensing trouble as a result of that bout as well? You're thinking of Kim Duk Koo. I dunno what happened to the ref, though.

CommonShore posted:Can any of you more knowledgable guys (Mewse, Fatherdog) offer any explanation for the "no big hit" aspect of it? The only thing I can think of is that he had brought a head injury into the ring with him - if that's the case (and if it can be established via witnesses to his having been KOd in training, or something) the liability for Cushman and Roufus gets on par with the doctor. Accumulation of smaller punches can hurt as much or more than one big shot (such is the basis of Nick Diaz' striking game for example) and in fact there's some evidence that getting hit a ton of times at mid-hurt is actually much worse for you than getting knocked out with one gigantic shot.

DoombatINC posted:They'd run out of opponents for the man. His win streak had gone so long they didn't even bother counting them anymore. They had him fighting heavyweights. They had him fighting women. There was that one time on Fight Night where he went four and a half rounds against two german shepards. Finally, they made the only match they had left. Pay per view, for all the beans, Neil Magny versus Neil Magny. I feel bad this post came right in the middle of discussion of one of our dumb sport's mercifully infrequent tragedies, because it is ace.

Zuffa's earnings being down isn't really that much of a big deal in the long term; we already knew this was a bad year earnings-wise because of all the cancellations. The interesting thing about that article is that 40% is a revised figured 10% higher than their previous projection, and the reason for the revision is Cain's injury. Cain being responsible for 10% of the UFC's weekly earnings is a bit of a surprise.

Trast posted:There is also the casual fans desire to see heavyweights duke it out over the lighter weights. "Heavyweight Champion of the World" is still something that holds a lot of glamour. The lowest-selling UFC PPV Tim Sylvia headlined is higher than the highest-selling ppv Jose Aldo headlined. It's hard to overestimate the degree to which heavyweight is meaningful to the casual fan.

Gray would probably have beat Bendo at most points of their respective careers and might well still beat him now, although probably not since Benderson appears to be developing some punching power.
