I hope we hear what's next for Rory soon, he's easily in my top three favourite fighters and I really believe he can be champ. Also this is his official instagram account icon

manyak posted:I dont even like Johny but hes no Johny. He has a bunch of KOs for sure but he will never ever be in a Fight of the Night, he either lands an overhand right or he gives up and literally cowers against the fence. I respect not wanting to watch fights but if you just watch this couple second clip from the Rory fight this is what the entire thing was: https://streamable.com/l1ih there's no way Woodley isn't going to have one of the shortest title reigns if he schedules a defense of his title before the end of the year, which he plans on doing, so I don't think there will be too much time for him to gain a ton of fans. That being said if he does somehow finish Wonderboy, GSP, or Diaz I'll be alright with that. But I'm thinking he loses his belt immediately within 90 days of getting it and then most people are just gonna ask when does Robbie or Carlos fight for the belt again. Woodley spends more time as an analyst on FOX.

david carmichael posted:Should not a fan of Velasquez be down with the overhand right/boring fence cowardice combo Lol. but yeah if Woodley was undersized for the division and aggressively pushed forward all the time and chain wrestled instead of aggressively trying to back up and leave the cage thats probably all it would take for me to like him. Cain is a way more interesting fighter, and equally boring as a person

Cain posted a video with him and Conor recently and I imagine them as a Rocket/Groot duo from Guardians of the Galaxy. Also is the reason Cain has such good HW cardio because he's like smaller than Rockhold?

TimeWaster posted:Of course, I'm dumb. For some reason I kept thinking Nate was a WW. Carry on... I don't feel quite as dumb now. Even the UFC doesn't know what division Nate's from. In their latest video it introduces him as a UFC Welterweight at 0:20: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Wv9vPoi_Rw Anyway, the rematch makes slightly more sense if Conor's trying to get back to a LW Title shot but beating the #4 LW contender at the wrong weight is still kinda a weird way to do it.

I wouldn't say I'm a fan of Woodley's fights, but I do respect his business acumen. He understands the short term nature of prize fighting and is driven to make the most amount of money with the least amount of damage inflicted on his person. Is it entertaining? Not really, but when he's older, he's the one who's going to have to suffer the consequences of getting punched in the head. I loving loved Lawler's title reign, but there's no doubt that those wars had a price.

Tron killed Koscheck and now dickhead shark-man Robbie Lawler with sick-rear end KOs and drat, look at that physique. No irony needed imo.

gently caress Woodley as a fighter and other fighting related stuff, but I think it's dope that he's gotten a bunch of cool movie parts.

If he was only worried about making the most money he probably shouldve endeared himself to fans at some point. I respect it in theory but im not gonna be like "well his fights suck but Im buying the PPV because i really respect his ability to take money from me and offer no entertainment in return"

Nate Diaz is on Jimmy Kimmel and he's walking up behind people poo poo talking him on the sidewalk - he comes off pretty funny and good natured.

I guys I really appreciate the surreptitious well wishes I have received over the past week not posting. I'm basically the executor of my grandfather's big rear end estate for my father who is really capable of productive decisions right now so my posting output is way loving lower. I'll be back. (Funny story - haven't weight over 205 in about six or seven years. Was weighed a week and a have ago. Went to the doctor complaining that my feet were swollen like sausages. Weighed in (clothed) at 235 lbs! Want to gain over 25 pounds of water that will appear as fat in less than two week, brother!? Just get some pain meds that hate your anti nausea meds! This is what I get for proclaiming a month ago that I'd eventually get back to Jiu Jitsu.) My apologies if it's been covered to death by this point as I normally read every line of the threads but I just jumped ahead to here - What the gently caress does Holly Holm do? Goes from beating the Ronda death machine to dropping two in a row? This sport is so loving cruel.

handsome only face posted:all the best fighters have horrible devastating losses like Chuck, GSP, Lawler but people want to point and laugh at Conor when he loses because they don't like him for saying insane crap like that he would beat Chad Mendes or Jose Aldo. Actually it was super funny that he lost to ten day prep camp cabo Nate Diaz after declaring himself a god, dressing up like el chapo, declaring himself the p4p #1-9 fighter on Earth with jones and mouse being 10 and 11, and him and his coach stating they would be competing for the welterweight belt after they ran through Nate in one round. I think it's all that crazy poo poo talk that was followed up by him refusing to do press for UFC 200 because he needed every possible second of training to even stand a chance against the Ivan Drogo of Stockton in the rematch he demanded in the first place, and then subsequently getting yanked from the card. It's really all of that stuff that has people having a laugh at McGregor and not just that he took a loss. I don't think anyone thought it was all that crazy when he said he could beat Chad and Aldo. threeagainstfour fucked around with this message at 06:40 on Aug 3, 2016 |

the abc is the group that meets and passes rules saying that they're changing all the weight classes and then the actual state commissions say "no you're not" right?

Never heard of the org but from the article it seems like it's actually composed of the state commissions so buy-in at one of their meetings should get reflected by action at the state commission level (except for New Jersey who dissented)
