Her defense was terrible because her movement was terrible, and I'm guessing her movement was terrible at least partially because of her hosed-up knees which only seem to be getting worse.

Despite not having any knees she should still be able to circle left or right while stepping away. poo poo knees may make it more difficult to change levels, but she should still be able to step sideways.

Well, apparently her feet might be hosed up too? She broke one pretty badly as a kid.

Either way, Ronda is not too crippled to move laterally. She only seems to move forward or back, and the only two fighters that have ever made her move backwards are Holly and Amanda. I'm definitely not an expert, but lateral movement seems pretty vital and it doesn't look like that's been drilled into Ronda in any way.

how the hell isn't Rogan an MMA expert exactly

it's all he does alongside awkward kettlebell powersets

Its the new announcer that called himself an MMA expert. Joe Rogan is absolutely an MMA expert even if he doesn't know what a downed opponent is.

I'm pretty sure if Khabib can get hands on him that he's going to be able to wear out McGregor and submit him.

Also, it's completely irrelevant to a matchup with Conor, but Khabib was not getting lit up for 1 and a half rounds.

Here's the fight on fightpass:

https://www.ufc.tv/video/khabib-nurmagomedov-vs-michael-johnson-ufc-205

The first two minutes are on the feet. Johnson lands about 4-5 strikes total for the first minute and a half. He catches Khabib with a left and then throws a few more. Most of them hit his guard, but Nurmagomedov does get hit clean a couple of times. Then Khabib shoots and the fight is one sided until the submission in rd 3.

its cool that mma has reached the same public perception of barbarism that the nfl has held onto solely for decades. In the Revenge of the Nerds 2020 remake the jocks will all be MMA fighters instead of a football team that the plucky tri-lambs will have to overcome via illegal surveillance, fraud, and sexual assault. They're going to have mark coleman play ogre.

I know Edmond is gonna just pay off his fine and they'll all go on with their lives, but I like the idea of Ronda having to change camps because GFC has a large padlock on the front door

There is a significant chance that he had places a very large bet on Ronda against Nunes as he has done for all of her fights. He might not have the money.

I just remember Iaquinta having a beef with a certain ref who was public and vocal about hating Serra-Longo fighters but idk if that's what's up. A Fox Sports news story says he dropped out of fighter at UFC 205 because of a pay cut he didn't want to take.

I think it was with a judge not a ref. Doug Crosby maybe? Fatherdog would have known!

I just want to see the soft spoken giant that is Francis Ngannou.

Hopefully he doesn't kill Arlovski

He's going to destroy Arlovski.

I still remember him walking out to the braveheart theme at his first UFC event. He was either the first or second prelim fight. I can't remember. I think I yelled "FREEDOM" at some point in the second round before the KO. I'll have to watch the fight again to see if I can hear myself.

Hey in all seriousness if you guys really think you need a dedicated UFC mod I can ask the Admins. Moderation for this subforum in general is pretty easygoing though, we don't generate much in the way of reports and in most cases the reports don't really warrant any action. For the most part this thread in particular seems to manage itself just fine and I'm more here for those rare occasions where people take things too far, which can usually be handled through PMs or a simple Six-Hour probation.

We don't need a mod and people will report if anyone really needs attention. You're fine and don't sweat idiots asking for a funny person to be ik.

I think the last time this happened in a MMA vs boxing matchup, Tim Silvia got hilariously knocked out by Ray Mercier, who dropped him then crawled towards his body to GnP him

Book it, Dana

I'm going to hazard a guess that Conor McGregor is a better fighter than Tim Sylvia.

I will say although he can be a big homer, I can get what dangersim is saying. Conor didn't lead Nate into a BLH with a kick the way Hendo would do it. Yes, softening Nate's front leg made him more susceptible to getting caught, but the specific striking setups were not predicated on leg kicks.

Basically there are a couple of rocks off the coast of Japan that Koreans feel is actually theirs along with being the cradle of civilization, the source of rice, and spicy food.
