colonel_korn posted:Gilbert Melendez Watching this, I immediately noticed something--what is Melendez's height vs his reach? He's not tall for a LW but his arms look bizarrely stretchy, like he could scratch his kneecaps without stooping. edit: also finishing the video, Rogan's commentary is embarrassing. There's a bunch of exchanges where Diego whiffs several wild hooks, Gilbert slips them and rattles off a sharp combination that bounces Diego's head around, and Joe responds by praising Diego's toughness.

EmmyOk posted:Those leg kicks that keep making Collard stumble are so nice Benitez has some neat strikes. that crazy elbow when Collard had his back, the heavy southpaw kicks, the left straight to the body is money. Collard probably sucks so it doesn't say a ton about Benitez as a fighter but he is super fun E: collard looks like he's dying from all that body damage plus the altitude

Don't forget that Pendred's last fight before this one was a total mess where he decisively lost every round but at the same time did exactly the most minimal, dogshit performance to convince a judge that he actually won each round, leading to a decision victory that baffled everyone who actually watched it e: like I remember posting in the GDT that his performance was like a scientific experiment in how to do as badly as possible while still "winning" the round on the scorecards

EmmyOk posted:Also out of interest how sore are foot stamps in the clinch? They always make me wince a bit, but the sound could be misleading. They don't feel good and in theory you could gently caress up a guy's foot and slow his movement, but in practice they're mainly a way to look active and hopefully stop the ref from breaking up the clinch.

EmmyOk posted:All I really remember about the Aztecs is our history teacher saying they were the scumbags of the pre-colombian era Yeah, they thought the continued existence of the world depended on continual human sacrifice so they were constantly killing people by flaying them alive, cutting the living hearts from chests, or other metal poo poo such as might figure in a Josh Barnett walkout song. They preferred to use non-Aztecs for this and they had to capture enough people to torture-murder 50 people on daily average (by the lowest estimates), so everybody in Central America totally hated them. This has been your UFC 188 Mexican History lesson. fatherdog posted:One thing people don't realize is that if you stomp someone's foot the main defense is for them to take their weight off it. If you've got a guy against the cage, making them take their weight off one foot lets you attack the other with single leg pickups or the same one with footsweeps. That's the reason Serra is always yelling for foot stomps. Thanks, that makes a ton of sense. And in fact you could see Camus did exactly that, it was just that Cejudo couldn't convert it into anything.

Tezcatlipoca posted:They had annual wars where they forced other tribes to send troops to be killed and captured by the Aztec army to fuel their sacrifices and slave trade. Yep, I was keeping it brief to avoid history sperging all over the active GDT. Big John was pretty content to let them work it out on the ground there, even without much effective activity. If Tecia can get more of those takedowns she could just ride out a decision.

Fork of Unknown Origins posted:Does that matter on PPVs though? There's still plenty of dead time and useless promos. You're right, but apparently they needed to make time to run a mellow Jedzryczyk vs Penne commercial which I would rather watch than Tecia talking about how she laid motionless on top of Hill edit: Wait who are these guys? I'm watching the main card right now, wtf? This guy is 4-1 and the other guy lost to Dennis Siver in the prelims of a fight pass card? gently caress off

Rosa is fading, that shot was pathetic e: why does Rodriguez keep refusing the top position? He's had so many opportunities to get on top and just stood it back up, but he doesn't seem totally dominant on the feet, either

Le Saboteur posted:I thought that would be UD 29-28 across the board. Don't know why a judge would give it to Rosa. Rosa had a lot of time in dominant positions. I think it depends on how you score the triangle attempt in the first round. You could give Yair the round for threatening the finish like that (I do), or you could give it to Rosa for escaping and maintaining a dominant position for most of the round.
