Just because someone wins a title fight doesnt mean they earned the title shot in the first place, case in point Dan henderson could win this title fight despite being 4-6 in this UFC run and losing brutally to all the top guys hes fought. Unfortunately its one of those things thats easy to make fun of despite being true, just like the whole "when two guys fight each other the person who won isnt necessarily the better fighter" thing

I've done two gimmicks so far, one was popular, the other not so much. My third and possibly stupidest has been going on for 5 weeks, and I've got another weeks to go. I'm taking steroids cycle and holy gently caress they are amazing. I don't know if it's ufc chat worthy but I don't see how anyone in the ufc isn't taking them, because they should be. I went from 145lbs to 170lbs but kept the same body fat, my lifts have gone way way up, and I can now kimura light heavy weights whereas before they could muscle out of it with both my arms vs their one. I wish I had done them sooner. I do appreciate everyone's advice including those who pm'd me saying not to take them, but I have never been so happy in myself in a few ways (women are all over me it's amazing)

While they probably could and should be promoting him better, I think "slimy" might be pushing it given that the only reason he's champion to begin with is they allowed him to keep a shot he got because his opponent was too fat to fight while sitting out for nearly a year, in stark contrast to how many promised title shots have been unceremoniously yanked from deserving contenders in other divisions because scheduling changed.

I had to check, but it was actually about 18 months and in the mean time everyone had forgotten about him I think

That dude who wrecked Smolka will hopefully keep winning so that we have multiple interesting FLW prospects. Disappointed Dodson lost but I was really surprised how fresh Lineker stayed despite putting everything into his punches for five rounds, yelling at Dodson because he was unable to cut him off was lame not badass though. Olivera is a twat and I don't like him at all and he should give up calling himself Cowboy after being owned by Cowboy.

Its one thing to plod forward like a Diaz and not be able to cut off the ring, but Lineker was literally running after him at a bunch of points during the fight. At a certain point its almost impossible to effectively cut off the cage, especially for the smaller guys, its just a giant circle and you always have a chance to just turn and run away for a bit if you want to. Making fun of someone who turns their back and runs away in a fight is always cool imo

Yeah I kind of wish they fought in a pro wrestling cage match cage instead of a big circle because you'd actually be able to cut the ring and people couldnt just jog around for 25 minutes if they wanted to. I think that was intentional going back to UFC 1 though and its a weird gracie bias thing that is now stuck in the sport forever.

I guess but apart from I think round 4 when he was badly rocked Dodson wasn't really fleeing just staying out of range and landing his own heavy shots.

It may have been intentional on someone's part but making it easier to circle out wouldn't have been a Gracie bias, since Royce spent pretty much all of those fights desperately trying to close the distance and clinch with guys.

Also wrt to the smaller guys having a harder time cutting the cage I did not think of that but also kicks are essential tools for good cutting and Lineker doesn't seem to be able to throw them very often.

I think at some point I read the Gracie's wanted the big giant round cage so there'd be room on the ground, it wasn't for standup.

He didn't seem to use them when cutting the cage or herding Dodson but I'm probably wrong or misremembering! My main disappointment with that fight is Lineker/DJ would be mad hype after that.

He was also backing Dodson into the cage a lot so it was weird. Sometimes he did good work cutting off the cage and sometimes he'd just chase him like he didn't know how.

nah you remembered right. he didn't. because he's pretty bad at kicking.

having anyone thinking you beat dodson, let alone many people, while never jabbing and rarely kicking and throwing nothing but heat is spectacular in its own right so i'm not really in a position to suggest things to him since i didn't think he could be as effective as he clearly is.
