Anderson Silva coming back is really interesting to me actually because there's a lot of different ways a fight with him can go at this point. You can fight him straight on and it will still probably be pretty difficult, but you could also do any number of things, like kill and eat his pet parrot which will piss him off and make it harder to scout your location, or go out of your way in the marsh to find a sniper rifle early in the game so you can shoot him in his wheelchair on the docks and replacr the fight with multiple GRU search teams. You could even stop playing the game for a few days or set your ps2 clock forward so when you start up next time he's dead from old age. Very compelling, and just in time for Tim Kennedy to come back.

I'm cool with seeing Silva fight so long as he's not fighting top ten dudes anymore. Silva vs Hall would be fine. Silva vs Sam Alvey? Great. Put him against flawed guys so that if he wins we get a show.

anderson is in the same position that chuck was in when he was getting destroyed, he could probably beat a lot of people outside of like the top 10-15 but it's a waste to pay an old guy that much to fight a nobody.

It's women's 145. If you are breathing and can make the weight and are willing to get your rear end kicked, you can fight Cyborg.

I thought the name sounded familiar, but I couldn't believe that even women's 145 could get that stupid. It's the one I thought it was.

cindy dandois was the fighter that really brought to the surface my deep distaste for women's mma. i guess i vaguely hope cyborg power bombs her through the mat. the 145lb division is conceptually insane to me.

it's not even punching like a girl. i've honest to gently caress never seen anything like it. she somehow manages to keep her arm completely extended through the entire process of the 'punch.' at one point she goes to push a punch and then just brings up her other hand to punch with it too at the same time. at no point does she appear interested in causing harm or discomfort to her opponent

stop the fucking fight, cornerman, your dude is fucking done and is about to be killed.
i respect cyborg after the holly holm fight.

every other performance of her career repulses me on a primal level. it's a combination of her rampant and truly epic abuse of steroids, the almost impossibly low calibre of her opponents, the made up title in a made up weight division, and the fact that she is an actual draw that curdles a cyborg fight into a deeply unsettling farce that feels like a blood sacrifice to the ugliest parts of humanity brought into the light by the elephant man, frankenstein's monster, and pt barnum's parade of unfortunates.

the fact that requesting cindy dandois is among the most offensive acts of her career is staggering. that streamable of dandois fighting in the ufc is literally unbelievable.

Cyborg is whining because the UFC wants her to fight Nunes in December. Nunes wants the extra time to gain muscle to be a credible challenger at 145. Cyborg doesn't want to wait that long.

i don't want cyborg / dandois to take the place of any fight on any card because it is not a legitimate contest. nobody would sanction lawler / cmpunk. even the shadier native american commissions would pause at that. how the gently caress can the same commissions even consider what is ostensibly at least as big of a mismatch?

Cyborg ducking and trying to wrangle circumstances to be her absolute benefit has been her game forever, it's really weird to because she could still probably comfortably beat pretty much everyone.

poo poo, i respect it. getting paid insane amounts of money to take zero damage and effortlessly destroy a person who is explicitly there to lose while increasing your stock because your fanbase consists entirely of effete deviants with extremely specific kinks is an enviable point in the career of someone who looks like, and is, cris cyborg.

It would be a lot more palatable to me if she were just beating up bad legit featherweights rather than beating women significantly smaller than her bloody and sometimes missing weight while doing it.

I actually know someone who fought her, which I always forget.

the best natural 145er in the world other than cyborg just got embarrassed by holly holm's wrestling. i just... cannot get my head around the gulf in talent.

that's cool. any passingly interesting anecdotes? a guy i work with knew the aforementioned second best w145er in the world personally when she wasn't a pro fighter. he said, quote, 'she is loving huge'. that's my story.

And no, no interesting stories to tell. At least none that are mine to share.

right? the only other 'credible' challenger to cyborg other than nunes and they fed her to holm for no reason. unless you consider removing any credibility she had carried over from invicta while not changing holm's career trajectory one little bit a reason, for some reason.

I would watch Holm vs Cyborg 2, and I've a feeling that might be what ends up happening, if only because it's the only fight outside of the Rousey fight where Holly's shown much urgency or purpose.
