I was sad to see Tim Elliot gone. His fight with Dodson will forever own.

Marching Powder posted:i just rewatched that round and nothing, besides the punch that sat him on his rear end, was dangerous and gil reasserted control in a matter of about 20seconds. 20 Seconds of getting punched in the face is a long time. Even if it's by Diego Sanchez.

Also, since early 2012, Fabricio has managed to have one more fight. He's not Donald Cerrone.

Heavyweight is the garbage division. It's full of guys who won't cut weight, guys who can't cut weight and like, 3 good fighters. Mark Hunt is somewhere in the sweet spot of that Venn diagram. But yeah, altitude is a killer. My girlfriend, Mexican and currently very sad, talks about how walking down the street in Mexico city is tiring, the air is so thin. Cain only spent two weeks there, the big idiot. There'll be a rematch, because it's heavyweight and you could count the number of people in it that matter on one hand. I wouldn't be at all surprised if it went differently.

I remember hearing that it was a standing KO before I saw it, and just assuming that was a typo.

manyak posted:the altitude thing is stupid. It sucks that thats all the people will take out of that fight when it would have looked the same anywhere else and theres cool stuff to analyze in it Saying it was the only factor is indeed dumb. Werdum put on the best performance of his career in that fight and spent months at altitude preparing (I vaguely remember hearing something about him being there for three months) To deny it was a factor is equally silly when Mexico city is the same altitude as Colorado Springs.

The best part, which I didn't notice the first time, was when Carla tries to fake a takedown to set up some punches, and just eats another really hard right hand.

Can they give Machida an easy fight now? There's no shortage of bad, unremarkable fighters at middleweight. Just let him beat up one of the 800 guys called "Pitbull" or something.

Then you just market it as "X fighter given a big step up in competition" then Machida kills him and I don't have to cry.

Seltzer posted:I think Lyoto was/is not as good or bad as people think. He used to fight at LHW and despite being undersized, that weight class has always sucked aside from maybe 4 fighters at a given time so he did reasonably well at 205. On the other hand all of the fighters that Lyoto has lost to recently at middleweight have been really really good. So I don't think he was really amazing then or really bad now. I think he's been pretty consistent but on a bit of a slide. People talking about Yoel's age aren't taking fight years into account. Yoel has only fought 11 times, started in 2009, and has only lost once. He's not as beat down as Machida and is still very quick for his age. Romero is also Cuban, which is like a genetic cheat code. This is according to my totally not racist Mexican girlfriend. Shumagorath posted:I want to see more main events that end like his fight with Dolloway. That kick sounded like a gunshot. The Dolloway fight was really comforting. In a world where Werdum is a good striker and Luke Rockhold might actually be as good as he is handsome, that fight went exactly the way it was expected to. And holy poo poo Romero is magic.

MysteryNad posted:Machida still looks as good as he always did. He's just 37 and past the point where he has noticeable improvement between fights. The talent level is passing him by. When he was on his first run to the title he was facing guys who didn't know what a jab or a feint was, or that you can avoid strikes by moving to the side instead of fleeing backwards into the cage. He also always had incredible timing, but he never developed the kind of power that Anderson had. The guys he has knocked out have bad chins or terrible defense. The only guy with good defense/chin that he finished was Franklin and that was a perfectly timed kick and he was at heavyweight. That's why, in retrospect, the Bader fight is a little misleading. This enigmatic fighter with the unique style had sort of been figured out, and Bader elected to jump at him with haymakers as if Machida's entire career hadn't happened.

Man, I'm glad its accepted that Jones' punch hurt Machida. There was a long time when it was just owed to Jones suddenly remembering to wrestle.

Bubba Smith posted:Pretty sure Cain Velasquez makes everybody's greatest ever list and he's one loss away from having the exact same *win rate* as Lyoto Machida post winning the belt. And fighters who do end up with crazy long win streaks usually have some qualifiers in there. Whether its fighting poo poo fighters in amongst the good ones or promoter shenanigans.
