Rockhold was talking about moving up
Gus said "Be careful, I'll gently caress you up because your teammate's a little wuss and won't fight me", basically

It's less calling out Rockhold and more trying to get DC to give him another shot after Stipe.

weidman is really good probably. he beat vitor while vitor was still hardly ever losing, beat silva twice even if the 2nd one was kind of a freak ending etc. so hes reached some real heights
I have a wild theory that's it's possible to be one of the best fighters on the planet and still lose against another one of the best fighters on the planet, somehow. really out there stuff

Isn't it somewhat common for fighters to take umbrage with guys moving to their class from another since it tacitly implies they think they'll have an easier time moving up the ladder there?

You seem to have a weird thing with me. Do you want a kiss?

Also I don't think Rockhold wanting to move up has anything to do with having an easier time moving up the ladder as it has to do with him having a harder time cutting weight as he gets older.

Nah. The unceasing urge to call men who fight other men for a living cowards denotes an insecurity that I don't find particularly attractive.

Sorry sweetie.

It appears Sage Northcutt has escaped his father's clutches and joined Team Alpha Male.

I feel like Tristar would have been a better place for him technically, but aesthetically and sexually speaking TAM is for sure the right fit and will take him to the next level.

i think rockhold's strongest part of his game is top position on the ground, but I don't think his wrestling is anything special, so that makes it hard against guys like weidman/romero unless they throw stupid spinning poo poo. but he shouldn't be striking with people unless he's setting them up for a takedown at this point

He should definitely continue lazily striking with people, so I can continue to enjoy watching him get his face caved in.

I think weidman is very good but wont be remembered as an all time great. I think the vitor fight showed that he was beatable by a barely roided quitter

What? Vitor got in about three punches in a flurry, didn't rock him, and got finished in less than three minutes. The narrative of 'Vitor nearly beat him' is one of the strangest things, along with 'GSP quit to avoid USADA'

It'd be funny if he somehow convinces USADA he's clean, but CSAC suspends him anyway and every other commission respects the CSAC suspension.

Vitor staggered him with a left, landed a few not so clean shots in that flurry then gassed and quit 80 seconds into the fight. I thought i said Weidman looked beatable, i dont think i said he almost lost.

Like i think skill wise you can say hes top 6 or whatever all time at middleweight. But i think in 10 years yhe skill gap will be just as big as it is between 2018's middleweights and 2008's middleweights. And accomplishment wise hes better than rockhold, but not really on par with anderson, bisping, hendo, franklin, belfort, etc. Weidman still has lots of time to keep building a resume of course, but as of right now i dont see him as an all time great. Merely very good.

i think his reputation comes a lot from being a good wrestler with good striking and that him at his "peak" is competitive with everyone and an unfavorable matchup for some of the other all time MWs like Anderson

I think the fight that showed him to be beatable would be any of the three where he was beaten. I just don't see how you drew that conclusion from Vitor flailing against his guard and looking kind of dangerous early on. It reminds me of being describing Che Mills 'lighting up' Rory McDonald.
