This makes me wonder whats the point in having weigh ins if you're going to be 15 pounds over for the fight, is this something that most fighters do.

Yes. That's the whole point of cutting weight. To get an advantage by being bigger than your opponent. poo poo, just for amateur bouts I've gone from 250->205 and back in the space of a month, with the last 20 pounds of that being water.

Ok so its expected that you're going to put on 10-15 lbs after the weight cut then? Ah, that makes more sense now that I think about it.

Just out of curiousity, since you've done a weight cut before hows your body/mind feeling that day you do weigh in.

Like god drat poo poo. You're weak as hell and your body doesn't really move the way you'd expect it to. I always kinda feel like I'm moving around under water. As far as my mind, it can feel pretty panicky the first couple times you do it, but eventually you just sort of learn to ignore your brain's instinctual "dying of dehydration" alarm.

I know a lot of pros cut a hell of a lot more water than I've ever done and I honestly have no idea how they do it. If I was cutting as much as I'm guessing Gleison Tibau does, for example, I'm pretty sure I'd just curl into a ball and sob tearless, half-dead sobs until someone stuck an IV in me.

Cyborg missed weight once because of her period :allears:

Because blood running from the cooter hole makes you gain 5 pounds.

If she hadn't roided herself out of having a period, I'd believe that. Crazy hormone stuff happens during the menstrual cycle and some women end up clinging to or gaining a lot of water weight during their cycle.

basic is a slang term for lame, boring, or uncool. I think white people start using it when it was in that one kreayshawn rap. "basic bitch" means "woman who is lame".

I'd agree with the sentiment that Esparza is a pretty lame person, but she also tore Rose the gently caress apart in their fight so I'm open to the idea that she can be a cool fighter when not dealing with the TUF grinder. It's sad to whine that you're not being promoted enough when you don't even try to appear interesting as a person to the fans, however. You get out what you put in in that regard.

I actually always kinda liked Chris Leben's tattoos. They might mostly be stereotypical stuff, but they were all pretty well executed which is pretty surprising for a barely-functioning alcoholic and drug addict who doesn't know how to pay taxes.

Barncat has some sweet tattoos as well.

I think Overeem's striking defense is too oriented around pure kickboxing and it does him a disservice in the UFC. If you watch his K-1 fights, he's pretty good at shelling up and letting punches deflect off his forearms and gloves. That doesn't work as well with MMA gloves and the MMA striking game requires good movement as a fundamental component of defense. Overeem has, for brief moments at various times, displayed at least some knowledge of how to move around, but he constantly ignores this skill for varying reasons. Sometimes it seems like he comes in too bulked up to actually employ movement well without gassing himself. Other times it seems like he comes in expecting to totally outmatch his opponent and simply doesn't even make the attempt.

There's some mythical 240lb, humble Overeem out there somewhere that's killing guys on the regular, but he is not the one who occupies our universe.

At least we'll always have this magical moment:

Pettis is kind of a shitbag and isn't even really well received by MMA fans in Milwaukee,
except for the hood rats that frequent his lovely bar that causes problems for the nice strip club in the same building.

I remember despising him before he was even a thing, as he had a Pontiac sunfire or cavalier or some garbage with lovely window stickers in the back window stating his name and current MMA record

He is a fun to watch though.

I had the opposite impression of how Milwaukee receives him, but I also grew up in the hood rat parts of Milwaukee so I'm probably talking to different people then you.

Also, that strip club isn't that nice. They do sell memberships, though, which makes me laugh for some reason. Hey guys, let's go to the titty bar. I'm a member!

A matching clause isn't a no-compete clause. It just means Bellator has the right to match any other offers, and if they do he stays with them. They're not uncommon in sports, and the one they had in Alvarez's contract held up.

Can't the UFC just offer Rampage more firm show money than Bellator can match and cut away any more intangible bonuses in his contract? How do things like PPV points get valuated in a lawsuit?

EvanSchenck posted:

Cain was 11 for 33 on takedowns in the second fight, 2 for 13 in the third. Stipe was 1 for 18. What those fights showed is that you can use the threat of the takedown to force JDS to exchange in the pocket. Velasquez, being insanely brutal at that range, beat the piss out of him from there. Stipe, not so much--he got outstruck in every round anyway and lost the scorecards 49-46. This wouldn't really work for Jones, either, because that's his weakest striking distance and Junior would probably kill him in boxing exchanges.

In the pocket might be the worst area of Jones' standup, but that doesn't mean he's bad there. He's able to throw elbows and spinning poo poo from close range in a way that no other fighter seems to have figured out. It might be unconventional inside fighting, but it works for him and it's unlikely JDS has faced a style like that before.
