Marching Powder posted:vendetta probations It's not a vendetta probation. Mainly because when you post the r word, after Jerusalem has said on more than one occasion it's probatable, you get probated for it. That's him enforcing that rule. If this is such a hugely egregious form of forum moderation, take it to the Admins in QCS. It's literally what that forum is for.

Yeah I don't want Holloway to end up permanently like he was during that one scary interview, so hopefully the guy is ok now.

TheKingslayer posted:I wanna keep talking about how cool Max is. Both those fights are so loving good. The most impressive part to me is that Aldo looks about as good as he ever has in both. He might have lost a touch of speed from his early fights, but he's patient, meticulous and accurate in both, but Holloway just loving jumps on him the first time he makes a mistake. Then in the second, drags him into what looks like a wild exchange, but still picks his shots and avoids damage. Holloway is really something special

Fatherdog is fine, manyak and dunc dont use any internet associated witj their something awfuls because people were trying to use fyad stuff to impact their careers, and keven is trying to save all his creative juice for stand up/writing. The toronto card looks awesome. I like bektic and i hope they get someone to replace him because moicano would be great to watch

I think this is a tough one for Joanna, Shevchenko has three muay thai wins over her and is the better grappler.

I know in MMA things change a lot from straight kickboxing but I think you're right. Joanna might find herself in a weird spot after that fight.

She probably SHOULDN'T get a third shot at Rose, but from the UFC's perspective she's still the most marketable challenger at 115 unless Waterson can finally crack the top 5, I doubt they'd have any compunction about doing Rose/Joanna 3: This Time In A Shark Cage.

I'm thinking about it from the perspective of Ronda/Miesha, where Miesha was the clear top contender for Ronda but couldn't get the match because she'd already been beaten by her more than once. Of course Ronda's implosion against Holly Holm and Nunes makes me wonder if maybe Miesha wouldn't have ended up getting a win on her after all, given that until that point she was the one who had given Ronda the most trouble in fights.

And you could argue Carmouche gave Ronda more trouble than Miesha ever did, considering she did manage to dislocate her jaw in their fight while Miesha never really threatened anything. Speaking of, why is Carmouche not in the 125 discussion? She's dropped down and already has a win over Valentina.

TheKingslayer posted:I know in MMA things change a lot from straight kickboxing but I think you're right. Joanna might find herself in a weird spot after that fight. Joanna herself said pretty much the same thing when asked about those fights recently: it was a long time ago, they're different fighters now, it's not going to be a kickboxing fight (I think it will be though, just in the cage). The reporter did seem to strike a nerve by asking about it though, so maybe she's motivated to prove she can beat Valentina. In any event it's a more compelling match up than Sijara Eubanks and they're crazy for ever having cancelled this fight in favor of that one.

They probably think there's a better chance of Valentina being a star than Liz. They probably aren't wrong.

I think it's a little different--overarchingly because WME-IMG is a lot less picky about title fights and Ronda was a megastar who popped interest no matter who she fought whereas Rose, while cool as hell, is still only really known to people who already closely follow fighting--but mostly Ronda was also kind of spoiled for credible challengers: McMann, Zingano, Holm and Correia were all undefeated with good highlight reels and 3/4 of them were champions in other sports, and Alexis Davis was on a really solid tear, whereas right now women's 115 is actually kind of a mess, if you go down the top ten:
So you've basically got one obvious contender and one obvious prospect, and then down in the lower ranks they would love to market the poo poo out of Mackenzie Dern if she could make weight and win a couple ranked fights, and that's sort of it. So if their options are "a fresh matchup with a contender barely anyone cares about who's only sort of credible" or "do Joanna again because she's still beating top contenders and more people know her than any other alternatives," I feel like they'll go
