Congratulations once again to God's humble warrior, Jon Jones. Were there any fights worth catching?

I liked the Ceronne fight but Jury stifled his style pretty effectively. The most interesting thing was that it went to the ground in rd1 and Ceronne came close to finishing submissions several times, it really demoralized Jury.

And then at the end Ceronne was pissed that he didn't get the sub or KO so he just started kicking the poo poo out of Jury out of spite

Is it really "stifl[ing] his style pretty effectively" when you lose 30-27, are in danger of being finished multiple times and end the fight getting your rear end literally kicked?

I guess I mean he stifled Ceronne's desire to get another POTN bonus

People are asking how Jones got licensed if he popped a month before the fight. The :tinfoil: answer is that killing another PPV would alienate Jones's last remaining fans and the UFC was protecting him.

Because it's not banned out of competition but they tested for it anyway

I saw Cowboy on twitter last night asking the people of Boston where he could park his RV for the week since the campgrounds are closed due to it being January in Boston. If he has to move to a new Wal Mart parking lot every night, that could be a big factor :ohdear:

Every time a fighter gets a tattoo it becomes really apparent who here actually knows anything about tattoos. Given Barao's complexion that tattoo is all black and grey and its INCREDIBLY well done. Just an awful reference image. Similar to Mick Diaz's chest gorilla.

it's your right to have a weirdo vendetta against anyone you choose, but Jack Slack's striking analysis is really good and gonna be tough to discredit.

You don't understand, boxing matches from the 1930s don't have any relevance to the current day because athletes back then had literal chimpanzee monkeys strapped to their fists. It was a different era, where the heavyweight champ had two wooden legs from losing them both in the war and Mickey Rooney was president.

Cool Fight Science style thing with McGregor's kicks and stuff. I'm always dubious about how meaningful any of this poo poo is in an actual match, but it's interesting viewing, for sure.

I'm leery even to watch it since it magically appears right before a McGregor card

Jack Slack is overrated but still cool. It was funny how he assumed Cormier was going to master lateral movement leading up to the Jones fight for no conceivable reason though.

He absolutely didn't assume Cormier would suddenly master lateral movement. The whole article was "if cormier can do this"

Decades posted:

these things devolve into nonsense hypotheticals.

The whole article's premise is hypothetical, intentionally! It's titled "to kill the king" and explains a striking strategy that could stifle the champion's game. When the article we are discussing was posted, I asked the question in the previous thread:

mewse posted:

Have we seen lateral movement out of DC during striking exchanges? Most wrestlers bull forward going for a takedown

I didn't and don't have much knowledge of DC's striking style to know if the gameplan that Jack Slack laid out was feasible for DC, it turns out it wasn't.

You're painting this like Jack Slack wrote the article saying "this is how DC will beat Jon Jones" when he did nothing of the sort.

Elemennop posted:

No, he was saying what any fighter looking to beat Jon Jones should exploit and defend. His article barely mentioned Cormier. He does the same exact thing for every championship fight.

Exactly.

e: Another thing that Jack Slack pointed out was Jones' straight inside leg kick(?? not a kickboxer) that permanently hosed up Rampage's knee, and how to avoid it. I saw Cormier eat it several times during the bout.

You can say the same about his doubters. Its been a long time since i've last seen a figter who gets shitted on as much as McGregor. It seems that its 100% sure that if he faced anybody with a bit of Wrestling ability suddenly he is hosed and cant do anything but bend over and take it.

The Notorious European Dennis Siver took him down like 2-3 times.
