after neil magny's first win on the tuf finale i actually said something along the lines of 'magny showed promise and want to see more from him'. i think i might be neil magny's only fan.

A facial expression has never been more worthy of its owner's nickname than Tim "the Dirty Bird" Means

I remember Neil Magny looked kind of good last time he fought so I'm pretty sure I know nothing about MMA anymore.

Tim Means is pretty bad so Magny might be able to pick up another W here.

MassRafTer posted:Was he in such good shape the night of the fight of the century? If I remember correctly, in Palelei's post-fight interview with Ariel Helwani he explained that he'd injured a rib during training a week before the fight so he was already in poo poo condition. Then during the fight, basically the first thing that happened was Krylov landed a kick to the injured rib. At the time I thought he was probably just making excuses, but going by his performances against Pat Barry and this poor bastard it looks like he might have been telling the truth. He doesn't seem like a particularly good fighter or anything but Palelei-Krylov was so bad that it's sort of weird and dreamlike in my recollection.

I thought goons overhyped how bad the fight was generally, with the exception of the final takedown attempt from Krylov in which he attempted a sloppy double leg then was too tired to stand up so curled up for a nap on the mat.

That earlier fight was as trashweight as it gets. "yep let me just get my leg over your gut here, thanks m8"

I can't remember anything from the Means fights I've seen before but so far it seems as if the majority of his offence is very slowly, sedately even, walking forward into clinch range.

Neil, when you knock a guy on his rear end he's supposed to be the one clinging to a desperation takedown.

Magny's corner psyching him up for some tepid kickboxing.

Magny should try to lay and pray in the third because I think Means is going to go all give no gently caress redneck on short notice that's actually holding is own quite well on him.

It's pretty funny that Magny is so diligent in circling away but the minute Means pushes forward he does the Arlovski dash into the fence.

It was a combination of both guys being completely gassed within the first minute or so plus the weird poo poo Krylov was doing off his back. He was throwing up a lot of stuff that sort of looked vaguely like submission attempts but didn't correspond to any actual thing. 1st AD posted:Nice calf stomps Means is actually doing a number of odd things, like those open-hand slaps to the ear from the clinch.

The only thing Neil. Magny should do is go to night school and get a degree because this prize fighting thing is obviously not making him happy, much less the people around him forced to watch his fights
