Intel&Sebastian posted:At least when GSP left he had the manners to make it look like the division coincidentally almost caught up to him at the same time. Jones being a bad person agaaaaain. I don't get this poo poo at all. Gustafsson put a beating on Jones so severe he put him in the loving trauma ward and Jones won by the thinnest margin. He would beat DC handily again and the second Gus fight would be extremely close because styles make fights. Let's not pretend Jones has been untouchable since Gus hosed him up please.

i hope the guy who probably beats women gets the fame and fortune of a title shot instead of bader. that's a really confronting thing to realise about myself, but speaks volumes for my opinion of ryan bader.

by the way i didn't watch gus / cormier live and only just caught up on it. here's some thoughts. round 1 was vintage dc and good poo poo. round 2 was way closer than the gdt thought it was, but a solid gus round. round 3 was a very good round, and up until the fifth minute was a dc round, but it was competitive. definitely not the one-sided beating the gdt made out and the knee / punch combo knockdown absolutely sealed it for gus and this is not ambiguous. round 4 opened up with gus beating the poo poo out of cormier for about a minute before cormier started throwing back. gus exposed his back while running away like a cartoon character which dc didn't use to get a body lock and gently caress him up for some reason. then gus goes back to pot shotting dc as he shambles in reminding me much more of the jones fight than the un-gassed dc, he even lands a monster body kick that made cormier regret at least one thing he did that night. i was waiting for the dc flurry that made everyone think dc won round 4 but it never came. gus won this round. round 5 begins with gus controlling the distance and landing an awesome right straight nearly a minute in which was the first significant strike of the round. cormier responds in kind soon after. both look incredibly hosed up in the gas stakes, but dc's forward pressure starts taking over and gus just can't stand his ground, resorting to the 'running' which i thought was going to be a huge issue in this fight (according to the gdt) but it really only became significant in this round. a dc round. in general, cormier's ringcraft has improved significantly since jones. the way he stalked gus was almost weidman-esque but he still lacked the angles to make him effective coming in against a guy who plays long as superb as the herb. in round 4 this went right out the loving window and he looked all the worse for it. gustaffson was landing those right and left shots to the body at will and if he used more of them, it could have drastically changed the complexion of the fight. it was seriously baffling me why he wasn't just throwing them all the time. they were all landing. gus's wrestling is superb. they both have the heart of warriors. everyone who predicted a dc steam-rolling in in the gdt / monthly threads should be ashamed of themselves. if you weren't paying attention i gave 2, 3 and 4 to gus fairly unambiguously and therefor winning the fight, but i don't begrudge dc a thing. a good fight, but definitely not a classic.

that's fair. if every time gus wanted to run, he instead smashed dc in the body with either hand or foot it would have looked exactly like the jones fight. this isn't even that far of a stretch. it was there for gus all day and i think was more of a case of gus not backing himself probably as a result of the rumble fight. which is ironic, considering it probably lead to gus getting hit more.

i once took a huge dose of acid after being up for roughly 20 hours on large doses of ecstasy and cocaine. 1 hour in i was given some random anti-psychotic that was supposed to kill the hallucinations and put me to sleep. instead i had full blown open-eye hallucinations of anthropomorphic clams dancing with 'i'm losing my loving mind' being spoken to myself on repeat while my physical body is on the toilet making GBS threads and this is literally, literally, the most insane thing i've ever seen.

Chain_of_Dogs posted:Pretty much. It seems like fans tend to forget that things are subjective. I'm not even a Bader fan, but hell at this point I'll root for him just to see the haters get mad. nobody, and i mean nobody is legitimately mad that you have stupid opinions. it's really funny that you think you're being subversive and clever though when we've had atom doing the same gimmick since forever and not a single soul has ever gotten mad, rather they've occassionally voiced exasperated disbelief or in some cases disgust (the mark hunt joke) but i've never seen anyone get mad. you aren't clever, so if i can head off your gimmick right now with this post that would be for the best.

Bubba Smith posted:I don't think TJ is a bitch for leaving TAM. Team Alpha Male is a great camp but after so many years there TJ and the other little alpha males have mostly learned about all they can from Urijah and the other coaches/fighters. Even though TJ is way ahead of the rest of the division I don't think it's a bad idea to go train with new people and hopefully expand his game even further. what the gently caress? it's really solid advice to not let personal relationships get in the way of business and that it's entirely possible to stop doing business with someone and still remain friends as long as nobody takes the decision too personally. i'm betting the fallout from this will be something along the lines of faber saying to tj 'i'll miss you bro' and then they work out in a small room one last time. also faber has never taken fighting tj off the table even when they were both at tam because they are both professional fighters.

Bubba Smith posted:especially when the guy giving said advice benefits from it the most, that was my point. Of course he's going to tell TJ not to worry about Faber & loyalty when he gets to train a UFC champion now and Urijah does not. I didn't say it was the wrong choice, just I didn't like the statement he gave about TJ's situation. it doesn't matter if he stood to benefit from it or not there was absolutely nothing wrong with saying what he said as far as i'm concerned because the advice was solid.

holly is very nearly dog poo poo in terms of mma proficiency and the fight is such a foregone conclusion in my mind that it is nearly terminally uninteresting, making the promo something truly remarkable. ronda has beaten people way better than holly faster than i can turn off my alarm in the morning. i will spend the very short time this retarded mismatch is taking place thinking about robbie and condit fighting instead. and how if they were the ones fighting right now i'd be in the arena watching it live instead of watching it at an absurdly packed bar.

Snowman_McK posted:Well, he shouldn't have gotten comprehensively outboxed by Stefan loving Struve, then. getting stuck on the end of a 7ft tall man's reach the one time he remembers to use his length is way more excusable than being comprehensively annihilated by chael sonnen for 23 minutes or getting out kick-boxed by jake shields or indeed most low-points of most great fighter's careers

Mr. Nice! posted:Chael was juiced out of his god drat mind in the first Silva fight and would have done that to any other MW in the world at that time. There isn't any shame in what happened there for Silva, especially considering the ending. anderson was juiced out of his mind and looked like dog poo poo against nick diaz and was probably just as juiced as sonnen during that fight Snowman_McK posted:Not really. Also, it wasn't much to do with Struve's reach. He got out-boxed on the inside. Even if it hadn't been, it's a hard loss to overlook. Struve has a lot of wins, but they're mostly over people who's best win is Phillip DeFries or something. Miocic is a real outlier in that fight record. It's Struve's best win by a huge margin. i haven't watched the fight since it happened by i remember miocic winning until a 280lb giant hit him clean in the face at the full length of his reach a few times in a row and has backed that performance up with some absolutely staggering efforts against jds and hunto that bringing that particular fight up as if it in any way defines his career is stupid

Snowman_McK posted:It was a 250 pound tall guy and it was a bunch of uppercuts and hooks. Nobody who actually takes the sport seriously would say it defines his career. It's an outlier for both fighters, it's also a terrific fight and so it's easy to see why it would pop up in someone's memory quicker than the time he decisioned JDS and knocked out Mark Hunt? so your saying your comment that i originally responded to was stupid? i agree.

mighty mouse should be the one seeking the handicap of weight at this point. besides uncle creepy who cannot seem to get his poo poo in one sock long enough to warrant a shot at 125 there is not a single compelling challenger left at this weight. let me say though that uncle creepy on his best day would maybe take a round off mighty mouse if they fought now

Meowbot posted:the punch that dropped him didnt look like a nything at all, was it the bod shots or the head kick before it that caused him to wilt from that punch? It looked like such a glancing blow I dont know how it did any damage. I see you have never been punched really hard in the body. Also go back and look at the punch again. It hits the sternum so perfectly and cleanly it's closer to surgery than punching. You can tell when someone is hurt by a bodyshot because there's a split second between the punch being delivered and the brain responding to the agony.

Bubba Smith posted:actually in the interview TJ says it was a surprise to hear Faber be the one saying he would be fine with fighting him since he thought "they were a lot closer than that" and that "Faber is looking for a big fight in his career and I don't want to have to do it." Ariel prods like how he does so he does get TJ to answer yes, if offered the fight and there being no other options available he would take it, but then again repeats himself that he doesn't wish it to happen and instead it should be on Faber to change weight classes or find another big fight. So I think it's a bit of a misquote to say that TJ is fine with fighting Faber. if I had to guess I think Faber is way more eager for that match than TJ is for numerous reasons. nobody wants to fight friends btw, they do it because they're professionals which faber certainly is and tj almost certainly is. that was probably the first time he had to seriously consider the possibility and responded like a (reluctant) pro. i don't think it's misquoting him at all to say he would do it and be fine with it if you define 'fine' as being able to give 100% and not as in happy to fight a friend

attackmole posted:Is he really successful? I'm kind of confused how he makes so much money off nebulous podcast sponsorships when this forum is the only reason I know it exists. enough that he'd give up being a terrible fighter for an amount of money that would be regarded as obscene when viewed strictly from the standpoint of talent. he also claims to be losing hundreds of thousands of dollars thanks to the reebok deal. my theory is that schaub has a genetic mutation that causes people to give him money he in no way deserves
