The UFC is both good and bad at marketing their fighters, I won't be taking any questions at this time.

Ad by Khad posted:How many of these jabronis are any good? I've never heard of at least 10 of these people and I know at least two of the fighters I have heard of are poo poo 1. KTFO by a fat dad in less than three minutes. Otherwise holds the HW defense record at 3 successful defenses. Also got KTFO by Stefan Struve. 2. Has a bad back. Is really a cool guy, but his body really isn't up for the game anymore. 1/2 of one of the worst HW fights ever against Francis Ngannou (because he couldn't move due to bad back). 3. Blaydes is possibly the only "good" fighter up near the top. He's a hot young prospect, and his only loss is to Ngannou. He still has a pretty short career, though, so we have to wait and see if he's actually any good. 4. Destroyed everyone until he fought #1 who just wrestled him like a big brother than he looked at Derrick Lewis for 15 minutes instead of fighting. 5. Volkov might be good, but just three years ago he was dropping decisions to Cheik Kongo and Tony Johnson. 6. Used to be really good. Still can kill people, but also gets killed hilariously just as often. 7. Former champ but old school brazilian training plus years of absolute wars have left him a husk of his former self. 8. Russian grappledad. If he gets ahold of your neck you go to sleep. However, if you keep him off of you, you're fine. 9. I'm looking at his UFC career and it's a loss to your step dad Tim Johnson, beating two "who the fook is this guy" types before winning a decision over Arlovski. Then he lost a decision to Werdum and got KTFO by Lewis. Most recently had a win over Struve. 10. Mark Hunt is old and worn down but can still knock a motherfucker out. He is a turtle, though, and is defeated by just flipping him onto his back. 11. Tai Tuivasa is a pretty hot undefeated prospect. So far I've got nothing really negative to say about him except he hasn't really fought anyone. 12. Another guy that's been knocked out by your step dad and derrick lewis. 13. Arlovski somehow keeps hanging on despite not having a chin since 2000. Has lost 7 of 9 fights since 2016 and exists just so they can say "former UFC hw champ" before getting destroyed by one of the prospects earlier in the list. 14. Giant of a man who nearly has jon jones' reach even though he's seven foot tall. Incapable of using said reach and gets folded into two often. 15. Willis is another young prospect. Hasn't fought anyone at all. Going to fight Mark Hunt next. We still won't know if he's any good if he wrestles Hunt. Very likely to be a walk off KO for Hunt's retirement fight.

that in 2018 Mark Hunt is a top ten fighter and Cain Velasquez was a collective hallcuination is one of the strangest stories in MMA

i think hunt is in the top 10 by sheer dint of being an active body, unlike cain, who at this point has a pristine oil painting of himself in the attic of AKA, while his own body is simply a container of cobwebs also, looks like meltz is saying woodley vs till is estimated to have hit 130k buys.

So they're going to strip DC of one of his belts before he even has the chance to defend it just to give another belt to Jones?

Gotta admit, as lovely as the whole Jones situation is, the reason they did it is pretty obvious since in spite of all that I'm still pretty excited at the idea of seeing Jones vs. Gustafsson

If Jon is truly clean I think Gustafsson will spark him, I'm thinking Jones will look more like the version that fought OSP.

I don’t think that Hunt is going to retire once his UFC contract is over, he’s gonna end up in some freakshow tournament in something like Road FC or in Bellator. An old guy kickboxer that used to be in the UFC is a prime Scott Coker signing.

True, but there have been quite a few fighters that have been knocked out and woke up emotional or were just emotional after a loss or win Interviewing the guy after he was hosed up like that was sad and he basically became Jesse from breaking bad

DC would be retarded to fight Jones at any weight, especially Heavyweight. Why risk the gigantic money fight with Lesnar for a sub-million buy PPV with Jones, because you know drat well that fight is going to Jones if (when) he wins.

Jon Jones is going to beat Gus for the interim LHW title which Dana will change to the undisputed title for some bullshit reason before popping for a cocktail of cocaine and Cold War-Era steroids then doing some more soul searching then a two-day stint in rehab

This may not be a great place to ask, but I'll try anyway. I'm collecting info on subs in the UFC, and categorizing them. Subs come in countless varieties, so I'm trying to have the smallest number of categories that is reasonable. I'm wondering about triangle armbars. Some finishes are listed as triangle armbar on sherdog or wikipedia. Some subs are listed as armbar, when there was a triangle also applied, and vice versa. I'd prefer to not have triangle armbar as a category because fewer is better, and there are other simultaneous subs that may need their own categories. But splitting them into one or the other is contentious. Any suggestions? I'm now aware of anyone really keeping track of info like this.

It's literally both though? Not sure what you're trying to accomplish. It's both a choke and a joint lock.
