Gassy fat guys on street beefs are gassy fat guys that do not fight or train. Kimbo/Dada 5000 was a fight between two people who ostensibly train to fight daily. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DQMIBmPcsVw

Dada for-real died in the ring but doctors were able to save him Then Kimbo popped, overturning the fight Then Kimbo died of heart failure 3 months later I don't know if there will ever be a more cursed fight, but I loving hope not

Mr. Nice! posted:Dada 5000 literally died multiple times during the fight. I like the halfhearted, second long sternum rub the ref gives him before he walks away. Also I googled Dada and he apparently started a bare knuckle fighting promotion where the fighters fight in this, which is barely big enough for one man to fully extend his arms.

Jon Jones wants to be the face of another promotion if the UFC won't pay him what he wants, but that quote made me laugh out loud.

Yes, I guess you're right. I wonder how Ngannou/Jones would play out. Ngannou is pretty close in reach and Jon hasn't looked unbeatable. I'm unsure how Jones' wrestling would fair unless he can soften Ngannou up a bit. I'm also curious about Jones' clinch. I dunno if I'd want to clinch with Ngannou. Have any of Ngannou's opponents had any sort of kicking game? I'm drawing a blank.

moctopus posted:Yes, I guess you're right. I don't think Jones has any answer for Calm Francis. I'm sure he has the confidence to get in there and fight, but he's right to not do it for anything less than a gently caress off and retire forever sum of money. I think he knows he's going to sleep if he gets in the cage with him. Get loving paid, jon. If the UFC won't pony up, go mop up scrubs in the B leagues.

I think the expectation is that Jones will stay the gently caress away from Francis and try to kick at his shins and run away for 25 minutes, although Jones has put on a ton of weight so who knows what it will actually look like.

hosed up to think that of the Kimbo vs Dada 5000 fight, the one who died during the fight is the one who is still alive. Jon Jones should get paid, but he's definitely not going to get Conor money when historically, he doesn't pull anything near Conor PPV numbers.

After reading those derek brunson tweets i started thinking about the difference between what top QB's get paid vs. what the worst special teams guy gets paid in the NFL. Then I remembered that the fighters don't have a union and there isn't a CBA. the independent contractor thing is horseshit and i hate it and i hate that the top paid guys just look out for themselves instead of bringing more attention to how lovely most fighters have it

Why did Jon move up to heavyweight again? I just remember him looking vulnerable in his last couple fights at LHW and then dipping out and vacating the belt.

Jack Slack had a great proposal to trick fighters into unionizing. Anytime they complain about pay or treatment by the UFC just say "unionize, bitch"

College Rockout posted:Why did Jon move up to heavyweight again? I just remember him looking vulnerable in his last couple fights at LHW and then dipping out and vacating the belt. He’s tired of cutting weight and since he wrecked DC who wrecked most heavyweights there was no risk. Calm Francis is a different story.

Ngannou's scary. He genuinely seems to have one of a kind power. The shots he put Cain and Overeem out with looked like absolutely nothing. There shouldn't have been anything on them. Instead, both shots immediately switched the guys off.

Do u have the Overeem punch confused with another punch or what because I agree about the Cain punch completely but if I had watched ngannou vs overeem live I would have thought he killed him

When he would start hitting people, they really respected him. Anthony smith was terrified to throw anything in the later rounds. I feel like Holloway has the same talent.

But you see, normally when Overeem gets hit like that he doesn't leave his body and high five The Grim Reaper before being roughly returned to his body with a 6 inch longer neck. He just fights through it.
