Yeah sort of like how everyone was impressed with Jon Fitch

the best part about fitch was the sudden deluge of new posters crying about lay and pray every time he fought. it made me a big jon fitch fan. but also i haven't seen any of his fights post-UFC aside from gifs of him getting smashed by burkman and palhares.

actually i take that back, the best part about fitch was when he hit terminal exhaustion bj penn with an overhand right and spent the rest of the round punching him from top position. to no visible effect. that was great.

Hi there, would you like to try some spicy products?
The best part about Fitch for me as a new MMA fan was Joe Rogan constantly gushing over how he timed slapping his legs and chest in tune with his walkout music just before entering the cage.

I liked watching Fitch big brother Erick Silva, get wrestled for a round and a half by old BJ Penn, and getting knocked out cold by Bigg Rigg.

stop the fucking fight, cornerman, your dude is fucking done and is about to be killed.
i watched bj / diaz again today. the first round really highlights how good bj was. fat, with not more than one round of gas, and a 6 inch reach disadvantage, he landed some sick shots on diaz and legit won the round. he could have beaten nick diaz at that point in time with one more round of gas.

BJ Penn fought undefeated Lyoto Machida at heavyweight just loving because and took him to a decision.

Baby J is probably one of the most talented fighters ever but also one of the laziest.

In his last 9 fights Askren has fought 0 fighters who are top 50 in the world in his weight class, and that's being generous.


Askren is like Fitch 2.0 or the version of Maia that left Gunnar Nelson looking like he had been attacked by bees. I'm really a fan of his wrestling and watching how he gets leg rides and maintains position to keep landing strikes, but in reality the watchability of most of his fights is live only and in the question "can his opponent stop his game? No? Ok I'm going to go take a dump."

They won’t fight each other. Could change I guess but that’s what they’ve said so far. I find it hard to imagine the UFC trying to change their minds with a fuckton of money.

Everybody has BUT the UFC has and its making Askren kind of pissy eyed already

Actually, Dana did say something about Askren fighting someone in the top 5 for his debut, so he half-assed announced it.

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

This was a thing for the reason to show just because you were a lovely college wrestler didn't mean you were a lovely MMA wrestler and vice versa, there's been so many champion wrestlers in MMA who washed put (Matt Riddle, Mark Munoz) and it also was apropos with Fitch as he was the perennial #2 at WW behind GSP who literally didn't start wrestling until adulthood so had no wrestling training at all in development years and it's loving GSP the best wrestler.

Clay Guida layed on dudes who were very lay-on-able and if they were at all better than that he just pretended to be the dancing guy from The Prodigy.

After Cormier gets booed out of the building for wrestling a boring decision out of Derrick, he'll get to eat free popeyes, which is a fuckin victory in itself.

bj is weird. he was like a born fighter. but also if he started losing at any point in the fight he immediately gave up. has he ever won a fight he didn't dominate? has he ever won a fight where he had to struggle? i can't think of any.
