I would love to see GSP get a ROH KO off of a takedown threat to body-shot setup.

I thought Bisping looked great against Silva and against Rockhold. I don't think it's fair to put it down to Rockhold being cocky rather than Bisping exploiting his poor defense. Though then Bisping looked bad against Den Henderson and still managed to circle into his right hand multiple times despite being it's most famous victim a hundred years ago.

Kilometers Davis posted:That’s an odd way to excuse something that plenty of fighters have no issue with. The “not a role model” approach is another way of taking the IM POLITICALLY INCORRECT stance. Just, like, don’t be lovely dudes. It’s not hard and assuming everyone in the fight game can’t help but be dicks yelling slurs is a waste of a good platform that could reach the folks who think that garbage is okay and normal.

What is the absolutely official way for measuring reach/wingspan? Which height/reach ratios are the weird ones? Don’t just say Jon Jones please.

Spread your arms and they measure tip-to-tip. But you also allow the tape to lovingly caress the topographical low spots between them. It's an arm length and musculature map, I guess?

Kevin Lee just fought and is billed at 5'9" with a 77" reach (the same reach as the 6'3" Anderson Silva), which is a ratio of 1:1.115, very slightly higher than Jon Jones' ratio. A "normal" person has a 1:1 ratio, and Artem Lobov (5'9" with a 65" reach) has a ratio of 1:0.942.

I don't think there is some official procedure to measure how long someone's arms are. Some teammates or a really low paid UFC employee probably tell the fighter to pretend they're Shogun and use a tape measure. The commission obviously doesn't care since they let freaks like Nick Newell and Artem Lobov fight.

Kilometers Davis posted:I have a wider reach than Brock Jesus, are you a mech? Follow up to the reach thing - what point would a single arm be measured from? It could just be me, but I swear reach didn’t mean wingspan when I was watching boxing in the eighties and nineties.

tesilential posted:gently caress OFF What about calling someone a fag while punching them in the face? Which is what's actually being discussed. Captain Log posted:Jesus, are you a mech? I'm pretty sure that's why they do it fingertip to fingertip, because otherwise, the exact line between 'shoulder' and 'arm' would be pretty subjective.

It's an arm length and musculature map, I guess? In a perfect, pointlessly pedantic world, there'd be two giant bookends that you could move apart with your wingspan, so they'd only measure the linear distance between your fingertips. I imagine running the tape behind your shoulder blades would be flatter than going across the chest. Lucasar posted:I assume in boxing they don't care how long your fingers are either, whereas in MMA eyepoking range is an important factor (also grappling). I definitely recall boxing tale of the tapes showing arm length.

GSP has long arms but his reach is so insane because they go tip to tip across the back and he's got a giant back & shoulders (from steroids). See also: Brock Lesnar having like a 7' wingspan despite not having that long of arms.

The smokers I did (Muay Thai) used 20 oz gloves, so I never got to feel the joy of punching someone into reading glasses. I think I’m missing some sort of calling that involves poking.

On the scale of stupid and racist poo poo Bisping has done, where does throwing a water bottle at the nearest black guy after a white guy insulted him on TUF rate? That was where I started thinking maybe he was a dumb POS. I'm sad that he's probably going to grind out a decision against GSP. If we lived in the best time line, GSP would heel hook that chav into retirement.

If we lived in the best time line, GSP would heel hook that chav into retirement. In my experience, and I've "lived" all over there, Europeans literally do not understand the inherent black/white racism in America. I remember bursting into laughter at a huge sign in Germany that said, "BLACK MUSIC" over the hip hop section. This absolutely does not excuse racism from Europeans. But that moment with Bisping didn't strike me as being "racist." Just horrifically rear end in a top hat-ish. If you want to see an English person get good and American style racist, mention Pakistanis. Or Turks to Germans. Because I just mentioned race in a loving MMA thread, I'm going to go hide for the next hundred posts.
