quote:One of the things that the ring does is provide a readiness score, which helps an athlete know how best to train on a given day. It was the change in his readiness score, along with some other data, that suggested Cormier should see a doctor. AKA coaches: hey, one of the guys got covid DC: i'm feeling a little unwell AKA coaches: U FUKN PUSSY!!!! LOL, LOOK AT THIS LIL BITCH!!!! also from the article: quote:On Tuesday, the UFC will announce a partnership with Oura Health, the company that makes the Oura Ring. The smart ring tracks health data and can warn of problems and suggest when it’s a good day to train a bit harder and when it might be wise to back off. if all ~400 fighters get a ring, that's like $120k in "extra fighter compensation" i bet the ufc can claim it paid out for 2020

A loving pandemic and these dumb coaches have the gall to not be extra careful but deride him when their top fighter tells them he’s feeling off.

I'm surprised Santos is healed already being that he annihilated his leg against Jones half a year ago.

Let's not forget that Glover vs Santos was supposed to main event last weekend's card, but had to get pushed back because Teixeira got the rona first.

Just on fighter development chat, Rafael Dos Anjos is loving mind blowing. To go from getting outboxed by loving Clay Guida and getting hypnotised by the stand up of Tyson Griffin, to turning into a loving destroyer, putting on two of the most dominant title shot performances I've seen and flatlining all three of the top WEC imports. He was always a talented grappler (his two mount takes against Terry Etim are slick as hell) but the way he kept going back to the drawing board and adding new poo poo to his arsenal and just physically improving is cool as gently caress. Also, Max Holloway. He was always pretty good, but he moved from being a talented and really tough brawler (who, amusingly, managed to actually get outboxed by Leonard Garcia) to a trio of performances as good as Aldo/Aldo/Ortega. Hollandia posted:Marlon Vera's evolution has been cool, especially coming out of Ecuador. Especially with his family story. Does anyone follow Ecuadorian sports news closely enough to know how his daughter is doing? I remember seeing something about her getting the surgery she needed, but no follow up.

His uppercut KO loss to Jeremy Stephens was highlight reel af. And then Stephens ran screaming face-first into the cage and bounced off.

Dirt Road Junglist posted:His uppercut KO loss to Jeremy Stephens was highlight reel af. I didn't mention that only because getting knocked out by jeremy Stephens (especially at that point) wasn't that embarassing. Even now, Stephens is capable of being dangerous despite the sport having moved past him and time finally having caught up with him.

How do you think the Ferguson vs Poirier matchup would have gone? I mean Poiriers boxing and power probably would have melted Ferguson the same way Gaethje did. On the other hand Poirier basically lost to Holloway and Ferguson is a bigger Holloway but with slightly worse boxing.

I think Poirier would take it. Tony is nearly 37 and he's still capable of cool stuff, I just don't think he's going to be able to continue stacking up.

I need to know what fight you were watching because there really is no universe in which Poirier "basically lost" to Holloway. Poirier had the power, and the pace, he hurt Holloway multiple times and never really looked in danger. Three and four were close, Holloway took the third and you could probably give the fourth to either man but Poirier looked fresh and sharp in the fifth. And I know Stockton rules aren't really a thing but Holloway was busted wide open, especially that knee in the fourth. I remember thinking that it might stop the fight between rounds, he had a pretty big cut on his eyebrow.

It's been a couple of weeks since my last rewatch, but from what I remember the only decisive round was the first. The four following were close.

What's funny is Jeremy Stephens isn't even old by fighter standards. He has just been in the UFC since he was 12 or something

Stephens time to change up his shtick and become a more well rounded fighter was a couple of years ago. As it is he's more disciplined than he used to be but he's still just lil heathen. Favourite thing he's ever done was get punched in the liver by aldo.

I think Poirer would handedly beat the Tony we last saw fight. He is a sound defensive striker with enough ground chops to maybe ward off the BJJ attacks. Solid defensive striking is what stymied Tony against Justin.

That fight was so unfair for holloway, really showed the difference between an elite 145er and an elite 155er. Imo holloway did really well but he got smashed.

Disciplined gaethje did look a bit like poirier in the Tony fight though. That check left hook started to become painful to watch as Tony dove into it over and over again.
