Bluedeanie posted:There is no evidence whatsoever that supports the intangible factor of motivation that Rogan and Goldberg go on about has any real affect on the outcome of BJ's fights, he is demonstrably in the sunset of his career and he is going up against a guy who has already beaten him twice — once very badly — in a weight class that while technically natural, will he very foreign to him and his lifestyle. This is a bad/stupid fight for BJ Penn. BJ being motivated might be bullshit, but BJ weighing less definitely leads to him lasting longer in fights.

CarlCX posted:I'm not sure how much of this is due to his size as opposed to the size of his opponents--if you think about the GSP, Fitch, Diaz and MacDonald fights his gas seemed to run out mostly in proportion to how much a bigger, stronger, actually-belongs-at-170 dude was beating the dogshit out of him, which is going to gas practically anyone. Its probably a combination of both, right? I dunno I didnt want to claim he was in better shape in case someone brought this up so i was being unspecific

Mr. Nice! posted:I find it funny you say Fitch beat the dogshit out of Penn. Yeah, the third round was bad, but Penn was gassed because he spent the first round and a drat good chunk of the second round Fitching Fitch. BJ was gassed and got his poo poo pushed in during the third, but his gas wasn't depleted because of Fitch beating up on him. I was really impressed by how he did against Nick and Fitch in the first rounds of those figths, basically I kinda think he showed as far as talent and skill he was a notch above either guy

Jones personality sucks so bad that with a whole team of business guys around him plus the stronger than ever UFC marketing machine with unimagined resources promoting an almost unprecedented streak of performances, he can't compete with the thousand yard stare, grunts, and one to three word sentences of Chuck Liddell

Weidman deserves to be the favorite, but the idea that there's no question hes going to be able to handle machida with no problem is ridiculous. I mean Im kinda stunned. Its Machida. If Weidman finishes him, its every bit as amazing as him finishing Anderson was. Probably more honestly, because Machida is better

doverhog posted:Maybe Machida can land another crane kick or something, but that seems about the only way he would win. If by that you mean timing his opponent perfectly, controlling the distance to avoid takedowns, then taking advantage of a small opening with an unorthodox technique, then yes, the only way he could win is with a crane kick

DumbWhiteGuy posted:I kind of discount the Rampage win over Machida because Machida had just been KOed for the first time in his career and was especially gunshy in the first two rounds, even for him. I don't debate the decision, but I think if that fight had taken place a year prior or a year later you would have seen a much different result so I don't think it is useful to bring up when trying to break down Machida vs Weidman. I understand thinking Rampage sucks so if Machida lost to him, thats bad because Weidman has not lost to a guy who sucks, and somehow that puts Weidmans experience points or whatever higher than Machidas. But Machida lost that fight by having two razor thin rounds and only kicking Rampage's rear end for one. Its not like he got knocked down or beat up at all. If he keeps the rounds razor thin against Weidman, he's already doing an awesome job. I mean would people still be bringing that rampage fight up as an example of anything negative about Machida if it'd been a five round fight? No probably not. he probably would've been able to finish Rampage. I dont hear a ton of people bringing up Jones' fight with Rampage as an example of why Jones stinks, but he basically did nothing for three rounds instead of 2. Obviously Jones knew he had two more rounds to work with, but still. I dunno I just dont see a guy being cautious against Rampage as a sign, especially Machida who is cautious against everyone including David Heath for two rounds, and Tito Ortiz Bundt Cake fucked around with this message at 20:02 on Jun 27, 2014 |
