Ty1990 posted:Does anybody have the cliffnotes on why exactly there was beef there? Ludwig came in and immediately just about everyone in TAM started to look dramatically better at striking, except for Faber, who it then came out wasn't working with Ludwig at all and didn't like him due to "personality clashes". Then Ludwig opened his gym in Colorado and started splitting his time between there and TAM, and some of them continued working closely with him (most notably Dillashaw and Castillo) and some of them didn't, and then Faber brought in Kampmann and Ludwig pretty much stayed in Colorado and the TAMs that continue working with him went there for part of their fight camps. I would imagine there's some bitterness on Ludwig's part on essentially being pushed out despite being objectively good for the team, and whatever had Faber disliking him to begin with certainly isn't helped by Ludwig not being real shy about saying so.

Bubba Smith posted:Holy poo poo I should have bet waaaay more money on Zak Cummings. I remember fatherdog saying he's a pretty decent fighter a while ago and didn't show it on TUF (I believe, could be wrong), but jesus. Cummings was one of those guys who was pretty good on the B-league circuit and benefited enormously from TUF allowing him to train full-time and hook up with better coaches; you could see him visibly improving and his post-finale UFC matches really bore that out. His only loss after that was to Gunnar Nelson and even then he really took it to him in the first round.

squarerandom posted:I still have no loving clue what Catch Wrestling is and how is it different than regular wrestling for MMA? fatherdog posted:Back in the early 1900's, up through the 40's and 50's, although professional wrestling was thoroughly predetermined, it was still expected for the top guys to be able to actually wrestle/grapple, because otherwise you were at risk of someone who could "shooting" on you and beating you in a match you were supposed to win. Because of that, "catch wrestling" as an actual grappling style existed, and has survived in places. While the idea of top guys being "real shooters" basically died in the 70's and 80's in the US, in Japan it survived in certain promotions, and consequently there was a lot of live grappling training that went on behind closed doors. Saku was a prowrestler long before PRIDE began, and he turned out to be very, very talented at the real grappling side of things.

fatherdog posted:I would expect Caraway to lose any striking exchange handily in this fight, and be able to take Wineland down but unable to hold him down. If he wins it'll be because he makes Wineland spend so much time getting up and pressed to the fence that the striking is minimal and he grinds out a decision.

Saunders is one of those guys with a fun, flashy offense but a lovely defense, so against guys who aren't good enough to take advantage of him he's mad fun to watch but he can wind up looking like garbage very easily

You know, this actually is one of the best examples of actually winning from the bottom in MMA I can think of, because Robertson is literally unable to do /anything/ here.

Dirp posted:Is this the first time anyone has actually used rubber guard and did something meaningful? He was using rubber guard when he omoplata-ed somebody a fight or two back, I think. Vinny Magaelhes has used it a fair amount but I don't recall if he got anything interesting with it in the UFC.

Saunders probably should win this 29-28 because he won every second of the first round up until he got dropped and he recovered immediately, but at least one judge is probably going to disagree

EvanSchenck posted:Jim Miller is looking really good in this fight. I thought Castillo looked a little lost in the second, like he was just hunting for the one headkick or overhand that would change the course of the fight, while Jim is picking him apart. It looked to me like early in the second Miller figured out that Castillo wasn't defending leg kicks, and since then he's been hammering on it and it's really disrupted Castillo's ability to move

I had Miller winning the first two, but they were both close and that takedown probably lost him the third and may have lost him the fight, depending on how blind the judges are for this one

manyak posted:Pretty solid fight, i gave miller the 2nd but couldve gone either way imo. Miller took a little bit to find his range and the gaps in castillos footwork but he was a little too tired to capitalize. Amd every time he took a rest for a split second he was getting kicked Yeah that's kinda how I saw it, he was beating up Castillo's leg all through the second but having to keep chasing and turning to nullify Castillo's angles really tired him out

I like Lawlor and hope he wins, but 2 years of ring rust, going up a weight class and coming in two pounds light doesn't inspire a lot of confidence.

Barao's completely stopped jabbing so he's basically hosed; using the jab to set up his kicks was probably the only way he was going to have any serious success on the feet given TJ's footwork
