Dangersim posted:I your in such poor shape you start gassing minutes in your doing a really lovely job of being a professional athlete. Mma athletes have to balance a lot of competing concerns in their sport. The fact that gas problems aren't uncommon should tip you off that the kind of training fighters need to do can make it hard to keep up with cardio. Or to be more disingenuous, do you expect Usain Bolt to run marathons?

I don't really care about who has the more impressive resume between Aldo and McGregor, I just wish McGregor would come back and defend his belt rather than chase an extremely stupid, though insanely lucrative, boxing match with Floyd Mayweather.

actually basically every fight camp starts with me feeling bad about being fat after the last fight, so i'll go back to training to look good again, but there's no sense training without purpose... sure i'll take a fight..... 2-3 months later....

I'm just trying to picture the severity of your cut. competed. past tense. thank god. 72kg, which is like... 160ish? i cut from 78 usually, which is ~12 pounds i think, and that was cool, but once i cut from 82 due to life getting in the way of my camp and it was miserable. i won the first two rounds before gassing hard and getting thoroughly bashed in the third. the fight was a draw and i retired from getting punched for leisure. e oh and the tough cut i missed weight by 2lbs. sorry, my opponent.

Weight management loving sucks. I've water cut twice and dieted twice for judo and BJJ tournaments, and never any amount that anyone would consider "a big cut" by MMA standards. My biggest was 12 lb (158 to 146) in 8 days. It saps all of the fun out of it. After my last one I made several training partners swear to not let me compete at any weight other than "here's what I showed up at" ever again. Even there, coming into this past weekend, the memories of the unfun stress from the past tournaments where I did weight management were tainting my weekend. Now if my income and reputation had depended on it? And if I had to keep training full time around the weight management instead of just eating small sodium-free meals while working a desk job? Well fuuuuck that.

When I almost died I wasn't allowed to have water or food through my mouth hole for two weeks. Every time I became cognizant I instantly wanted to know when I could have water. It was typically enough to break me back into the space between conscious and out of your mind. (Don't get acute/chronic pancreatitis kids.) I seriously cannot imagine being expected to function on any level when you are thoroughly deprived.

Posted too quick - Here is the second half - Did you have any heavyweights cutting weight when you did? I'm curious if it's a harder or easier overall experience depending on weight. gently caress, should probably go to the training thread.

Loved it lol I have never cut more than 10 lbs for tournaments but it's never been easy. The first 8 aren't bad but it's the last few that suck the life out of you

Dangersim posted:Does he though? He's literally never defended one of the four belts he's held in MMA, so yeah, he does, quite a long way to go actually. He can start by defending a featherweight title. Aldo vs Conor also taught us exactly one thing about how these two match up and little else. Conor has the ability to sleep Aldo with the right punch at the right time. That's only one part of the puzzle in a fight and there's a poo poo load more to that match up. People treat it like Cain vs JDS at the end of their trilogy, rather than what it really was, a Cain vs JDS 1 where a total hammer of a punch put the other dude out and left more questions than answers about the two. Don't take that to mean Aldo is the Cain of this match up and would come back and dominate Conor in a rematch either.

Diaz even had a wrestling advantage for crying out loud and conor going 1 and 1 with him is cool. Not jaw-droppingly impressive but cool.

Nate has always given me the impression that he's not super interested in fighting and has probably never truly fulfilled his ~~~*potential*~~~ I've always thought he was watchable though, especially when Rory McDonald was dropping him on his head. As MP says though he's a very Anti-Conor fighter and would be a troublesome match up for any FW/LW counter-striker. I'm of the opinion that McGregor and Kavanagh are prepping (in so far as one preps for a theoretical fight 8 months from now) for fighting Khabib later in the year, they've had an American wrestling gold medalist in SBG last month. I on the other hand, think Ugly Tony will tune up Khabib and look forward to 209 in the immediate term.

He takes it (admittedly) irrationally personally when people sign a contract to hurt him for money and that's where his animosity towards his opponents stems from. He says he'd be 100%happy just teaching jiu jitsu, smoking weed, and running triathlons, but it just so happens he's one of the best fighters in the world and it pays real well. He's a really cool person and I'm a fan of his as a fighter and a person (and he's a loving excellent jiu jitsu instructor) and the thought of him teaching kids and smoking weed with millions of dollars makes me really happy.

Intel&Sebastian posted:So like, have you seen any of his fights after Roop? He got a lot better with countering at distance and conserving energy after Roop, but he did a lot of wild poo poo even in his best performances against Poirier and Aldo. I thought the Bermudez fight kind of looked like a return to a more brawling style, with how much he was getting tagged. But you're probably right and I'm wrong... it would have been harder to control range the way Bermudez was looking for the takedown, at least until he timed the uppercut.
