EA UFC2 is 13 bucks on psn sale for ps4 right now if you're into that. I got on Jon Jones' tuf team as Chan Sung Jung and took out two people with spinning backfists so I got my moneys worth.

Edit: It's insane that they managed to make grappling and subs worse after EA UFC1

I was last on Team Tate as BJ Penn, which sounds about right circa 2017.

It certainly would appear that he spent a great deal of his service in the gym/behind a desk. Pretty sure a basic infantry role would ruin someone with his number of injuries. Goodbye knees and back etc.

Super happy that he's still contender material, its not a negative reflection on Bermudez that he went to sleep in round one, TKZ is just still very good.

I don't know anything about Korean mandatory military service but I bet famous athletes get special treatment.

Does their military have an esports team?

After Lim joined the Republic of Korea Air Force, he started putting his fame to work. After a month and a half an Air Force pro-gaming team was created. Lim found some retired pro-gamers who joined the Air Force before him, including H.O.T-Forever, CLon, ChRh, fOru, Rage, Qoo, Sunny and MuMyung. Together they formed the first military pro-gaming team. Two months after the team was announced, ACE (Airforce Challenge E-sports) was official. ACE first played in the 2008 ShinHan Proleague, and has participated ever since.[needs update]

Are there any in depth recent articles about his return and time off? Has he talked about if he kept up training other than keeping fit and being inspired by Dom?

Bermudez knew he wasn't a technical enough striker to stay out of a brawl, or a tough enough brawler to beat TKZ at his own game, so he had to hope he was a good enough wrestler to get on top. It was the right strategy, he just came up short.

I think it's fairly common for military cadets who become draftable talents to be given deferrals or altered service, often in recruitment or public affairs. David Robinson from the San Antonio Spurs is a pretty interesting example of it https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Robinson_(basketball).

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.

And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

TKZ's brawling definitely held up, and the counterwrestling was solid, but his attempt at head movement and movement in general wasn't really gelled.
The whole cocking his head to the outside and just keeping it there would be death against someone like McGregor. Not enough data to say where his chin is at now.

I cant imagine his chin has gotten worse unless he decided to do heaps of hard sparring as part of his training for his come back.

Fair point though, he hasnt had it tested yet.

Luckily McGregor will never fight at featherweight again.

Or, quite possibly, the UFC.

stop the fucking fight, cornerman, your dude is fucking done and is about to be killed.
there is a distinct possibility that bisping can outbox yoel on the outside for 5 rounds. yoel in rounds 4 and 5 would be genuinely pathetic. i wouldn't say it's a probability, yoel can cover distance and land shots with insane speed, but bisping is pretty loving good.

He did definitely gas against Jacare, but that's because Jacare is a physical freak himself.

I recall him slowing down against Jacare and thought he was lucky it was only a three round fight. He's also never gone past three, but then I don't think Bisping stays awake that long so I guess it doesn't matter.

hes an obvious cheat but hes a ko threat big time for 3 rounds and also a ragdoll threat although he does seem like a dumb aggressive guy who might not have the best defense . i dont know if bisping is going to be able to outwork yoel but he has the guts and cardio to survive yoels best i think. hes kinda relying on taking over in the final 3 rounds, or yoel gassing from beating him up
