Fat Twitter Man posted:the first three prelims were amusingly bad, then everything from the tiny Wanderlei Silva woman who screamed with each punch on was great I might put it on tonight. I like fight pass, but I hate it when good live poo poo gets "stuck" on there.

Highlights from the Shanghai card from me: - the incredibly corny translator - one Chinese fighter coming out to the theme to The Journey West, 2 coming out to two different versions of Once Upon a Time in China - none of the Chinese fighters having any mic skills and also incredibly soft voices not helped by the low mic - Li Jingliang charging over the cage all the while the door is open right next to him

Funnier how Chris Weidman got the poo poo beaten out of him by Rockhold who then got sparked by the GOAT inside a round (imo)

Chris Weidman got knocked out seven times in a row, so it's hard to blame him for saying weird, crazy things.

MassRafTer posted:Belfort. That's a good pick, but even then, his highs and lows are the products of the exact same thing. He blitzes early, then tires. He still looks like that crazy scary rush fighter early on, even when he loses. The Overeem that skillfully shut down JDS then put him out with more or less his first punch does not look like the same guy who was perplexed when Ben Rothwell showed that he'd seen an early George Foreman fight.

The lowest low of his career was because his sister was kidnapped and he completely lost his mind. Ever since he got his poo poo together it has mostly been because he's strong early and fades quickly, but there are also fights like against Anderson Silva where he got completely psyched out by Andy putting on a mask and couldn't blitz him at all.

Vitor's fight against Anthony Johnson was a landmark bout because Vitor had finally run into a man who gassed out and gave up even before he could.

Fat Twitter Man posted:so all you’ve seen of the fight is a gif of the finish I watched it live. Nothing happens for like two and a half minutes, there are a couple of very short exchanges, a scramble, and Vitor gets flattened with a kick he never sees coming. I dunno what bullfights you watch, but generally the bull and fighter doesn’t circle each other mostly feinting for four minutes before the bullfighter stabs the bull straight in the face.

I forgot about the kidnapping thing. I'll have to revise my question to 'Is there fighter so inconsistent who's inconsistencies can't be traced to a physical decline or a personal trauma?' I think it'd be pretty hard to find one as odd as Overeem.

Sometimes he's a killer, but just recently broke a 3 fight skid. I guess there was just a lot of hype built up around him after he kicked that dude's head off during TUF. He has no physical or emotional issues that I know of.

Wasn't he heavy favourite to win TUF but then Gastelum won when Hall just couldn't be agressive during the final and basically didn't show up. Then he merks some decent guys later on whilst losing tepid decisions to gate keepers and cans.

Vitor Vs Anderson imo is the best representation of Vitor's personal psychosis. He gets beat, acknowledges that he got beat, then slowly and publicly starts reframing the fight, and it incrementally turns into a freak loss out of nowhere as he was just about to deliver the death blow. I think it's one of the reasons why he's had such a long career, and the fact he's now getting stomped without having any success at all is why he's close to retiring.

willie_dee posted:Wasn't he heavy favourite to win TUF but then Gastelum won when Hall just couldn't be agressive during the final and basically didn't show up. Uriah Hall tends to have trouble pulling the trigger when he needs to, and it seems he does a lot better when he’s angry and motivated, whether by people saying he has no chance against his opponent or by the death of Paul Walker. I think it’s not productive to psychoanalyze him for the same reason I’m not going to say someone could win more fights if he improved his squat form; I’m not his S & C coach or his sports psychologist. I will say, as someone who’s watched Uriah Hall win fights he should have lost and lost fights he should have won, that he needs to develop a jab and throw combos more so his offense is more threatening.

He's a counter puncher who waits for openings, but is kind of slack about generating those openings. You could argue that it's about level of competition, but he murdered Gegard Mousassi and got cautiously outpointed by John Howard.
