He beat Michael Chandler twice, once by TKO, and went on to dive into a Nik Lentz guillotine in the UFC. I’m guessing he had some pretty tremendous performance anxiety issues that manifested in all of his fights in the UFC, except for the fight with Cowboy which he was, if I remember correctly, doing pretty well in despite being way smaller than Olivera. That was until he broke a rib and Cowboy took over. threeagainstfour fucked around with this message at 19:29 on Feb 15, 2018 |

He took a big pay cut to come to the UFC because he was confident he would become the LW champ...... lol

Remember when Rin Nakai's management elected to turn down a long term ufc contract for a two-fight deal for the same reason?

I'm grateful for Rin Nakai doing dumb poo poo so I didn't have to watch her

david carmichael posted: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. Weidman frustrates me because his skillset is amazing, and watching him wrestle when he's not gassed is very impressive, but his gas problem coupled with what seems to be the belief once he moves into wrestle mode he doesn't need to protect his face, are such crippling flaws.

Yeah since before the Ferguson fight I've felt like Kevin Lee was kinda being forced down people's throats. Now he tries to stay relevant by being a dick on social media. Still, no one cares.

I wonder why the young, talented lightweight who is 9-2 in the UFC with 4 finishes in a row over increasingly tougher competition would get a title fight when everyone else is too fat or boxing? We may never know.

# ? Feb 16, 2018 14:42 |

Yeah Kevin Lee is pretty good, handsome as hell and has an actual personality/character unlike most of these boring dorks. It really shouldn't be a mystery why they're pushing him

# ? Feb 16, 2018 15:01 |

Considering what he's actually accomplished in the cage, I can't help but feel he maybe insists upon himself a bit much.

He is a prize fighter that's his loving job. You sound like Joe Buck whining about Randy Moss.

I don't know who either of those people are. I just know Kevin Lee calling out Khabib after the Barboza fight caused me to roll my eyes so hard it made my head hurt. You can like Kevin Lee. It's fine. I don't fault you for it. He's definitely a good fighter. I just feel like his push came so soon. Sorry if this is the kind of thing Joe Buck says about Randy Moss.

He got a title shot after a good win streak when their first two options fell through. Quite a push.

This post reads like those nerds who cleverly (they think) said things like "ooh is this the day we all look for the Superb Owl? I love birdwatching!" or "yay, sportsball!" a couple weeks ago. 95%+ of this board is going to know who those two people are and understand the analogy.

I agree, in some of the media for the chiesa fight he was claiming he was the next Conor McGregor and he’s kinda emulating him just without the impressive wins or charisma and likability.

I know who Joe Buck and randy moss are but randy moss retired a decade ago so I still don't get what the post is about. It's fuckin weird that Lee got a title shot after beating trinaldo, chiesa, and one of the Khabibs. Usually you have to beat a contender.

I am very offended for Kevin Lee vis a vis mild criticism of Kevin Lee; so mild it borders on indifference really. Poor Kevin Lee. Just trying to make a buck.
