Both Derrick Lewis and Alexey Oleinik loving own. Also on that card, Beneil Dariush (POTN in his last 3 fights) vs Scott Holtzman, Bruce Leeroy vs Giga Chikadze, Nasrat Haqparast vs some dude, actually looks like a pretty solid card.smertrioslol posted:I will not abide trashing of Derrick Lewis

Gassed or not Lewis can always just knock him out. I'm looking forward to him also just standing up when oleinik tries to grapple. Great match up.

He doesn't reach Dada 5000 heart failure levels of gassed but he's always breathing hard after a round, still dangerous in that state though. I forgot about him straight up lying down to rest in his last fight, lol

Snowman_McK posted:Nah, he was nowhere near beating pettis. He got guillotined because he got outstruck and hurt by a punch. I haven't watched it since it happened, but I thought he was winning until he got decked by Pettis and tried pushing him against the fence again. He was doing a lot of takedowns that didn't go anywhere except burn Pettis' energy. e: all I could find were recaps. This one seems about how I remember it: https://www.mmamania.com/2014/12/7/7343101/ufc-181-results-recap-anthony-pettis-vs-gilbert-melendez-fight-review-analysis-mma

He was doing a lot of takedowns that didn't go anywhere except burn Pettis' energy. He was pressing him into the wall and winging punches that weren't landing. He was getting countered a fair bit and then one finally hit him at the right angle. If giblert was beating him it was in a way that directly lead to him losing.

Can someone explain to me why Whittaker is good at fighting his striking against Till looked like the bad heavyweight style where you stand there for a bit charging up then run forward winging random punches hoping for the best. Edit: I am thinking more of his punches than his kicks. Also I don't know anything so please enlighten me or w/e awesomeolion fucked around with this message at 08:16 on Jul 28, 2020 |

This was a significantly less technical fight than his previous fights have been, absolutely. He didn't seem to be super comfortable fighting at the range? He over-commits a lot to be sure. Especially that winging overhand right. He's got a really good jab and when he stuck Till on the end of it he had a lot of success.

That last point is such a good attribute of his. The number of times Yoel had him in a position that would have finished almost anyone else in the division, across two fights, was astounding. Bobby wrestling his way out of danger in the early going of their first fight had me standing on my chair yelling at the TV

Memento posted:As bad a fall as post-USADA Johny Hendricks? No. But a fall, nonetheless. Bigg Rigg was such an anomaly. A guy like shields or giblert has a certain amount of natural talent that shines through even without gear. They just needed juice to hang with the best in the world (who were also juicing). Johny fell so hard without juice that his last couple of UFC fights were punctuated by him buring his head in crotches to avoid strikes before getting knocked out by an adult film actor in a z-league bareknuckle boxing league. At least he dealt with the fitch problem.

I don't know if he'll fall as far as Johny but Weidman is another one who's looked just terrible since USADA started testing.

As much as I'm in favour of trashing Jake Shields has he ever actually popped? I know he had one fight turned over to a no-contest for what sounded like a dressing room violation.

I doubt Weidman is a USADA victim. He made his name on performing really well on short notice fights. I still think he's pretty talented. He just had a really rough run right when the MW division started popping off.

He just had a really rough run right when the MW division started popping off. Weidman started to drop off when the IV re-hydration was outlawed. I don't think it was as much PED as that was a huge part of his weight cut and strategy.

Ah yeah, thanks for the reminder. I do remember that drop off. I feel like maybe they could reintroduce IV hydration if they are monitoring the weight cuts by weight now?

Saline is an effective masking agent for a range of PEDs and they can't detect saline in a blood test, but they can detect plastic particles from the drip equipment.

I mean I am an unabashed Wide Man Fan, but I really do not think he was on gear. I think he was just not able to cut weight and re-hydrate like he was before the IV ban.

I agree with you on all points, wasn't refuting you. Just saying reinstating the IV ban won't happen due to changes in weight cut monitoring because the ban did not directly have anything to do with weight cutting.

I think I'm about at the end of the Platinum journey. It was fun and interesting for a bit, but now it just seems like I'm enabling mental illness by reacting to him. Things aren't going to go well for him over the next few years.
