Panama Red posted:I would but Torres or Markos in there before Moroz, even though that would probably be a good matchup. Torres is a dynamic striker. With Esparza having had her shot and Gadelha coming off an injury, Penne is the most logical option standings wise, just a terrible choice style wise. She's a great offensive grappler, it's sort of like Maia in that she will be known for one thing about her game, but just lacks the roundedness to excel. It would be funny of this ended up like Anderson/Maia tho. Praying Penne does what Cookie Monster couldn't What happened between Anderson and Maia?

Dangersim posted:The first 2 rounds are Anderson clowning like he's never clowned before, and talking poo poo while embarrassing Maia and it's super entertaining. He even does a Machida impression at one point. Just turn it off after round 2, because the last 3 rounds are him doing absolutely nothing to the point the ref threatened to take a point for passivity. Oh wow! Why was Maia not warned for passivity? Would it not require both of them to be cagey?

I thought it was neat watching Floyd put on a defensive clinic, I don't think a fight has to be Gatti-Ward to be exciting. Wlad's last fight was against a guy who started fighting when Wlad was on his 7th title defense.

I'd still like to see that rematch, I'm convinced Gus's biggest problem was that he was trying to fight a long and rangey fight as if he was in there with Jones.

My friend has trained with people who train in SBG and apparently McGregor vapes a loving ton, so don't be surprised to see him pop for Nick Diaz levels of weed. Then again I don't know my pal well enough to say if he's a pub talker or not.

Dana basically called Schaub a liarquote:“No, I don’t think we’re screwing our athletes on the Reebok deal. You know, any time we make any type of change here, people go crazy in this sport. It’s a great opportunity. Nobody ever said that these guys couldn’t have sponsors. They can still keep their sponsors, they can have all the sponsors they want. They can even have clothing sponsors. They just can’t wear it in the UFC. How is that different than any other sport? All the other sports, whether it’s hockey or football, baseball, whatever, everybody’s allowed to have sponsors outside the league, and not inside. And, these guys are getting all the money from the Reebok deal. I mean, all the money goes to them.”

Dangersim posted:How famous is Conor in Ireland? (You're irish right?) I am yeah. He's absolutely huge, the last two years he has been the second most googled athlete in the country only losing out to Oscar Pistorius. Without hyperbole you'd be extremely hard pressed to find anyone in the country who doesn't know his name. That's not to say he's beloved by everyone but he's certainly known. I'd say the majority of people like him than dislike him though and even his detractor's tend to admit "but it's great to see an Irish athlete doing well". If he beats Aldo he could probably convince the nation to back him in a presidential coup.

Bundt Cake posted:The reason to not be interested in Cormier is the same as it always was. He's proved he's really good at fighting, but every guy he fights crumbles under his pressure so the fights aren't really that exciting and are real predictable every time. All the posts about how hes a fake champ bug me. I like DC and don't hate his fights at all. I think it is just silly to act like you are the undisputed champion when your very last fight was a clear loss to the champion and you cried after it.

I thought Jack Slack made a good point saying it was madness for Weidman to sprint across the cage after Belfort. If that had been Machida or Anderson they might have killed him. Also if we're always hoping for the funniest outcome does that mean we're hoping McGregor subs Aldo off his back?
