Best way to beat George Dillman is just to be a non-believant and also move your tongue in the wrong spot. He said so himself. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Z0_n7tGnK0 also never forget the time Stephan Bonnar was in a news report about the chi KO not working https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pdrzBL2dHMI Mekchu fucked around with this message at 00:39 on Oct 13, 2020 |

Jack B Nimble posted:Is there a website for long form journalism on combat sports? Not articles on who won the recent fight, but deep dives on fighter biographies, gym drama, etc etc. Like, a breakdown of what went wrong in Rhonda Rousey's training and career would be an example of what I'm looking for. For more analysis on their fighting styles, you can't go wrong with anything Jack Slack puts out. http://www.fightprimer.com is his website

Tate won a title in a kickboxing org whose name I forget but it is the latest org by the guy who started It's Showtime. It's not super high profile but it's at least flown on my radar.

Okuteru posted:Jesus, it's been a whole year since there has been a question on this thread. 1) UFC has mostly stayed consistent in terms of content and the like. There are mostly changes that have been aimed at ensuring Endeavor gets their money back in the form of cost cutting (aka paying fighters less). It's also been a big deal for UFC to put on like 40+ shows per year as part of that effort to make money back as part of the deal they signed with ESPN. UFC also is mostly more open to being hostile towards the fighters who speak up or criticize the pay, the structure, etc. of the UFC as opposed to back in the Zuffa days where they were at least trying to publicly play ball with most of their talent. This has all led to the product feeling very watered down (see: any UFC Fight Night card in the Apex) and more or less makes the big events less special to watch from my view. 2) The deal will probably not affect the UFC a huge amount. It's likely for Vince to be put in charge of the new parent company for UFC & WWE to work on broadcasting deals and the like. UFC & WWE also have the same approach to talent acquisition, don't pay for good guys, find guys who are willing to sign low paying contracts and only use them as to cut costs for the company. Additionally, you'll probably see more cross over appearances as in people showing up to events to help promote each others brands and TV shows/events. I'm also gonna assume that over the next few years they're gonna phase USADA out of the UFC because that's a big money sink and the UFC have prior to all of this have not been shy to pretend they don't need USADA.
