I hope you get crushed to death by a fat guy trying to commit suicide by falling out of a window and when the paramedics answer the local bystander asking if you'll live, he just says "fat chance" and laughs.
From Brian Ortega's Ufcstats page


He's not that great at getting takedowns. I'm surprised he got one on Max, who's pretty good at stuffing those.

I know we've all hated conor here for years at this point - but 145 Conor with his IV was as dangerous a 145er as they come. Ortegas exactly the kind of guy he'd have decapitated coming in and it wouldn't have even looked close. Now if Ortega learned to wrestle now that max taught him stand up... I think Ortegas better off at 155, with as little as a cut as possible, as he is a big guy. And he needs to concentrate on reliably getting dudes to the ground, where he looks like a magic person.

I'm trying to think of anyone who's similar to Ortega who he decapitated coming in and the closest I've got is Diego Brandao.

I was trolling Conor fans on twitter for fun today and just talking mad poo poo to get them riled up and I made something up on the spot that I ended up actually kinda convincing myself of in the moment that I thought might be interesting to run by the thread lol

That thing is : 'a champion who never defends their belt ain't a real champion'

Which I think might hold up - obv we're not counting injuries and other poo poo that caused an interim or something. And I think I could forgive someone for getting their belt at an older age, maybe after losing some title shots, and peacing out on top once they get it. There may not even be that many of these.

Obv this is just for fun (and to get under the skin of Conor fans), but what do yall think, am I just an rear end in a top hat or do I actually got something here

It's been a saying in boxing for years. Dunno if I agree, but you're not the first to think like this.

sup brah?
I disagree. If you beat the guy/gal who has the belt and they wrap it around your waist, you're the champion. Barring some crazy happenstance like the aljo fight, you're the best in the world for that particular ruleset and organisation at that moment. Anything after that is legacy.

who's similar to ortega full stop? nate, kind of? which does make me think that ortega/conor could look a lot like the first nate fight, or the second one if conor came in as laser focused and prepared as he did for the nate rematch, but he definitely won't, so the first one.

Nate Diaz has a lot more polished boxing.

EDIT: like, poo poo, I hate Conor but if you're easy to hit like Ortega you're probably toast.

that's true but i feel like it's kinda hard to judge ortega's striking since in two years he fought a round against a conscious TKZ, four more against an unconscious one, and then one of the two best strikers in mma's best striking division.

Uuuuh! Seek ye me?
i also think ortega is disgustingly tough, probably tough enough to get through however many rounds of gas conor has, since volk hulking out like that in the third round would've probably been the end for almost anyone else. and then ortega was still fighting back in the fifth. but maybe he'd just die.

nate choking conor out was one of mma's finest moments. in fact literally everything about that fight from the second it was announced is one of mma's finest moments. still lol at touch-butt in the park.

That guillotine was insane. Like, I've been in guillotines from the other blue belts at bjj and it's a hard as gently caress thing to get out of, you tap and then move on with your day with no shame. And Ortega is like a meme-level guillotine wizard.

Ortega is a walking bobble head dripping with the latent power of gracie jiujitsu. Which is to say Nates a lot better than him on the feet, and peak conor was much better than him on the feet. Way I remember it Diego brandao was better on the feet.

I am dubious of the cop's statement that jones headbutted their car because anytime cops are involved with a black man I assume they were smashing his head into the hood of his car. I could be wrong, but I have an inherent distrust of police until I see corroborating video.

Jesse told police "Jon came back and was not very happy." When they asked her if things turned physical, she replied "Umm not too physical but a little bit yeah."

When cops asked what she meant, Jesse said, "he touch the back of my head and pulled my hair a little bit but he did not hit me or anything."

However, cops said they noticed blood on her lip, which was also swollen. Jesse told cops it was because they were dry. Police also say they saw blood on her sweatshirt.

i can't imagine a cop passing up a chance to bully a guy who free from restraint would kill him and those with him if they didn't have guns and state authority. sure he may have bashed his wife, but cops don't get to do that poo poo despite it being the worst punishment he'll get in all this unfortunately.
