Lloyd Boner posted:Does that mean it's a good thing I picked Lamas or a bad thing? Well Oliveira has a 2-1 record in fights where he missed weight, so he is roughly 66% good at having an unfair advantage over opponents. On a related note, that's four times missing weight in 11 appearances at featherweight. Win or lose I would think he is going to get the Lineker treatment and become a middle of the pack lightweight from now on.

After Fergusons last fight I honestly thought RDA would pressure him and get a TKO within 3 rounds but I'm happy to be proved wrong, especially when the person he could end up fighting next is Conor. Every press conference will be a flurry of insults and indoor sunglasses.

david carmichael posted:Rda stopped winning exactly when ugly toney poked him in the eyeball Maybe I need to watch it again but it felt like the momentum was already in his direction when that happened, to the point where he was frustrated by the opportunity given to rda to recoup and pick out one of his five coaches he could listen to. How much of a loss you reckon the absence of Cordiero was in that performance? RDA was on UFC unfiltered and said his regular jiu jitsu coach couldn't make it either.

Dunno if anyone has watched the fighting for history ufc 205 countdown thing but early on you see Coach Kavanagh explaining how they treat sparring like the real fight. The sparring partner doesnt talk to Conor before, they turn the music down and take it seriously. Ok, I see the wisdom in that but then it cuts to the sparring partner - Artem. Jesus I hope thats them trolling and they're not actually using him to simulate a savage like Alvarez

fatherdog posted:He said the plan was to use kicks and takedowns, and aside from a couple decent leg kicks in the beginning he threw pretty much nothing but punches, so "boxed too much" is in fact exactly what he did wrong; there's nothing weird or dumb about that quote. And Conors plan was to punch Nate's head into the crowd, he got very tired trying to do just that. The two differences being - Conor accepted that fight at 170 on a few days notice and it's well documented that he says wacky poo poo all the time - Long before Alvarez v Conor was ever even mentioned, Eddie was doing the rounds in interviews casually saying Conor is overrated and that if these dummies fighting him would just adopt a better plan they would beat him easily. I'm not saying it's the apex of weird dumb poo poo, but with that context it's somewhat poetic Again, without all the talk of there being no Santa Claus and don't let the dog out and the rest of the nonsense, I'd probably just nod and move along. Wait, I just now realised something, is that why Conor showed up at the pre-fight presser dressed like a pimp santa? I saw it was a nod to Joe Frazier a few pages back but he really did look like a pimp santa.

Work Friend Keven posted:All in all though, massive respect to Eddie for fighting someone who was so clearly a bigger fighter (Conor's last 2 fights were at 170 even, for those unaware). Well Nate was 3x bigger than Conor at 170 and Nate is a regular sized lightweight so that means Conor was actually well below 80 pounds when he fought Eddie. He is a giant slayer.

fatherdog posted:Yeah, and that plan was using kicks and takedowns, and he didn't do it, because he spent the entire time boxing. So when someone asks him "What did you do wrong" what exactly would you expect him to say other than "I boxed too much"? That's literally what happened. It's not an excuse and it's not weird or dumb, it's a literal description of what he did wrong. You are being weird about this. At the risk of you thinking me weird, why is my original point wrong? I compared the quote to Conors energy comment after Diaz. If you don't think it was amusing to see Conor say that at the press conference, more power to you, but it still amounts to the same thing - claiming the result came from something the fighter could control (using a lot of energy, not boxing as much) rather than something they could not (the person they fought was better at fighting than they were).

fatherdog posted:A) Whether the gameplan would have worked or not is immaterial to the fact that he didn't follow it, so when someone asks him what he did wrong, "I did this instead of what we planned on" is a completely normal and reasonable answer A) we agree that both quotes are similar in relevance, so that's sorted at least B) In the second fight sure. Conor was better at fighting in the second fight than he was in the first as a result of that experience. But the only way that could change the outcome of the FIRST fight would be if Coach Kavanagh had a time machine. I dunno it feels like we're getting dangerously close to philosophy at this point, I just liked how he said I boxed too much three times back to back. I just want to smile a bit.

Nierbo posted:Eddies takedowns were atrocious in this fight though and he barely committed to them at all. I feel like the koscheck/chael method of steamrolling a guy and committing all the way is the way to go versus connor, not the 'half hearted jab and duck a lil with your head still at chest level' style. Maybe because by the time he or Mendes had a chance to even consider doing that, they had already received nasty kicks to the midsection and felt the power of his hands. Take a few of those and you will hesitate to charge in with your head down lest it be the last thing you do.

Yoel Romero was getting an olympic silver medal at about the same time Randy Couture was slapping Randleman around in the UFC. Wrestling is a really chill sport from what I hear, so he probably wouldn't need any help staying healthy up until the age of 39 in the even more chill sport of MMA. Did he ever serve or was all that marching and saluting even more obnoxious than it looked?

One guy controlled handily for three rounds, and the other guy put him in real trouble twice. You could make an argument for either and I wanted Wonderboy to win but I had it for Woodley. Don't listen to me though, I tend to score by Pride rules rather than round by round. Also I'm pretty retarded.

Also, they must want to break into Russia pretty badly if they are going to take Conor there. This weekend was the first time in five fights where he didn't do Vegas, and that was for MSG. Maybe Conor was serious about not paying that fine and thumbing his nose at NSAC?fatherdog posted:If Rogan says it, they're probably talking about doing it, but the likelihood of either of them having signed an actual contract to do so at this point is approximately zero Pretty much yeah. And then the likelihood of either of them making it to fight week without a Khabib injury or a Conor diva moment are slim.
