Chael's biggest MMA regret was not getting up after falling down from spinning poo poo. As a fan there are too many frustrating Chael moments to chose from.

"Barao wasn't overrated because he was the best in his division, as proven by the fact that nobody was able to beat him, until somebody beat him." By that line of argument, no champion is ever overrated, since all of them are unbeatable until they get beat.

Dead Snoopy posted:So, who do you think they reserved Toronto for? You know the UFC have been there at least twice with no GSP right? 152 and 165 both had Jones headlining, and Canadians still showed up to watch. I'm sure the UFC would love to have him there, but they don't need him like they used to.

I'm not trying to be the contrarian and put it past the UFC to rely on the company logo itself to be the biggest attraction, I'm simply reiterating that for this market they'd throw a proven draw into the headliner. They wouldn't book a Maia vs. Condit - fighters who purists love and/or respect but its unproven that they 'move the needle'. They're not going to turn a huge market over to Paige Van Zandt or Yair Rodriguez yet before they really embed themselves into the consciousness of the general public.

Eh, I'm willing to be wrong but I don't think Jones has ever been a draw, at least in fights he managed to show up for. Before he became Daniel Cormiers worst nightmare, the average PPV buyer was lukewarm on Jones to say the least. It's only since he went properly off his rocker that he began to become a fan favourite.

fatherdog posted:"Barao wasn't overrated because he was the best in his division, as proven by the fact that nobody was able to beat him, until somebody beat him." which is why if you are actually trying to rank world champions for some reason besides making conversation, you look at how many times they were able to defend their belt and against who barao was overrated when dana called him the best ever or whatever. not when he lost to another great fighter after beating up the entire division. i don't think barao is even the conversation of most overrated champion ever and the people that do usual just cite Dom as their reason which i squashed earlier. I take back my Forrest pick tho, much like with Bisping, nobody ever even thought he was actually the best fighter in his division, so he can't have been the most overrated.

Dead Snoopy posted:Absolutely, I'm just wondering aloud who it is. I don't think Toronto is the market where they repeat what just happened in Vancouver and put ANYBODY on the card. NY is shaping up to feature Cerrone/Lawler (and possibly J. Champ). McGregor is up in the air, as is Woodley. The Bisping/Hendo has another location set. Rousey is M.I.A.. Sage & PVZ aren't ready yet. Diaz has this Canadian bias because he felt he was robbed in Montreal. Mexico is on the horizon and a few key people are spoken for. They are gonna get Jon Jones.

Renan barao was and is good. Outside of all the women champions ever save for one I can't think of any champion in like 6+ years that was undeserving

Barao, like Pettis, was and is a good fighter, but a good fighter with obvious, exploitable holes in his game. Lots of people said as much during their reigns, and since they were usually responded to by their fans with "LOL NO HE'S THE CHAMP", seeing someone exploit exactly what was pointed out as exploitable and make them look foolish provided a lot of satisfaction to the people who'd been calling it all along.

I love pettis but it's really obvious that he A doesn't punch very hard and B half of lightweight could hold him down for three rounds if they really wanted.. like dating to WEC. In a lot of ways Smooth Ben Henderson is the perfect fight for him because he's a good wrestler who mostly just wants to scramble, which lets pettis look cool instead of try and maintain wrist control for 15 minutes.

Hey... this isn't "trolling". These are two true facts: Fact 1: Women's MMA is in it's infancy and the fighters aren't that good, which doesn't mean there shouldn't be women's MMA. Fact 2: It's extremely tasteless and fairly racist to laugh and cackle at photos of black athletes with their lips and faces all swollen up & enough of you are boxing fans that it's mind blowing to me that anyone would have to say this.

Just looking for some context here: why the gently caress did Frankie Edgar ever fight B.J. Penn three times in the UFC? Edgar beat him twice by unanimous decision in 2010 and then it looks like it was the main event for TUF 19 but who in the world was thinking there was unfinished business there? Were the 2010 matches really fireworks displays or was somebody a fill-in as the team coach and that's just the direction it went?

bj explained that he really wanted to beat frankie because frankie was the only one who was viewed as better than him and the only thing standing in the way of him being considered the greatest lw ever. BJ was right about Frankie getting robbed.

Like Chris Leben. He had the choice to go be a lawyer, but he didn't. So, in a way, he deserves to spend the rest of his life financially compromised.
