Are the Reebok tops really required in the cage? Can that really be the case? Just imagine missing out on the freak spectacle of Vitor's entire musculature lifting Hendo off the ground on Phantom Cam.

Phew. I thought I read that in the last thread. Must have been a fever dream. I guess it wouldn't even work unless it was rashguard tight.

FishBowlRobot posted:Not to get away from the important topic at hand but could someone educate me, as a relatively new and somewhat casual fan, on how a fighter like Chad can effectively deal with the huge reach advantage a talented striker like Conor has? I have Fight Pass, so if anyone has some examples of similar matchups that'd be cool to see. How it plays out depends on more attributes than just the reach difference. If the shorter-reaching fighter is also the slower fighter, he's gonna have a hell of a bad time. There's a reason why there's such a correlation between above-average reach and fighter success. If the shorter fighter is as fast or faster, he can use pressure to close the distance and stay at a distance where his punches are more effective. He needs to have enough different entries and timings so that he doesn't get figured out and caught. Look at RDS vs Pettis and Melendez vs Pettis. Both guys fighting Pettis were having tons of success smothering and stifling Pettis. In Melendez's case, he got caught while executing his formula.

FishBowlRobot posted:Thanks for the fight suggestions. The most recent short punchy wrestler vs tall reachy guy fight I could think of was Jones vs Cormier. I've seen Pettis vs Melendez, but who is RDS? Is that supposed to be RDA instead?

mewse posted:- Her Judo coach dropped her when she said she wanted to do MMA. Her mom told her that MMA was the dumbest loving idea she'd ever heard because there are no women in the UFC. With hindsight these people look foolish, but she was wading into a sea of uncertainty without any money to do it. quote:- She's pretty bitter about TUF. Tate and Caraway would instigate constantly, then Dana had both sides into his office to say "stop doing pranks" but they'd still be petty. She says they targeted Edmond specifically because they knew he was the most valuable coach on the team. She had a heartfelt speech to her team after their first loss that lit a fire under them and the show didn't air it, opting for a hot tub scene at the fighter house. quote:e: Oh and she explains that UFC were bringing her in from Strikeforce, there were constant contract fuckups so Dana would be flying her to events in the UFC private jet to announce her as a UFC champion, and then there'd be another contract snag so people were like "why are you around Dana all the time" and the rumours about them banging started.

What was Pendred's walk-out song? I swear there was a bit from Slough Feg's version of Dearg Doom in there. Couldn't hear it that well on the PPV.

Bubba Smith posted:head kicks seem like they break through people's guards all the time. If you don't brace your arm enough, the leg is gonna keep moving in. It's also just hard to do a straight up block to a hard kick. It's easier to, as fdog said, to be moving away from the kick.

Ditch posted:Yet TAM has a solid reputation for being clean and getting there through non-stop hard work and living in a place that makes it easier to stay in shape. I've never heard TAM have anything other than a non-reputation as far as juicing? In the same way that I've not heard anything damning or accusatory about AKA or Jackson's.

attackmole posted:Don't lots of people kick that way? Gives you more power. Not with that kind of commitment to keeping the support foot fully planted. Plenty of people step out to the side or start with their foot oblique to the target, but few use the base leg like Bas did.

The thing that bugs me about this is that her torso is twisted away from the throw, right? In the real life picture, she's throwing from opposite stance, but her torso is the same way.
