Captain Log posted:I really liked the movie and know dick all about "film." Just stating what appears to be obvious. You think its obvious that a graphically violent scene in which a slave pokes another's eyes out then kills him with a hammer was made for the purposes of masturbation? I know this is from a few pages back, but...loving hell.

Bubba Smith posted:Those are mostly Jon Jones being a fuckup, which he is, but I don't really see much that makes him mean. Crashing into a someone, then fleeing, returning only to get cash and then continuing to show no remorse or concern is a pretty good example of being mean.

Arlovski's resurgence was a little bit overstated, though the Browne beating was really entertaining. The people I know who really talked him up were, weirdly, Fedor fans who needed to prove that Arlovski is good in order to prove that Fedor's win was really important and relevant.

I don't know how they did it, but they managed to make Anthony Johnson, one of the most imposing dudes in the sport, look really unimposing

Cody owns because he's simultaneously that bright young prospect/gifted athlete who made that leap to champion, who delivered on all that potential he showed, and a loving moron who probably needs someone else to supervise him using the toaster.

He's going to end up a Shogun esque case of 'what could have been?' where, despite having actually had a pretty impressive career, he's also just a collection of unanswered questions.

Southpaugh posted:UFC Fight Night London is looking like a good evenings viewing. Gunnar Nelson is fighting Alan Jouban, I think Gunnis got it, his striking has come a long way, leaning towards Jouban getting subbed in R2. I think Jouban is fine, but I don't think he's a top ten fighter. His looks on the other hand, dreamy motherfucker. Jouban looks like Billy Drago. Billy Drago was an actor. An Actor is someone who is in movies. I like movies. Snowman_McK, Age 7

Marching Powder posted:* the people he was fighting when champ were deeply flawed compared to the contenders today When he was champ, Michael Bisping was the guy getting flattened by all those deeply flawed contenders, and time has not made a half blind 38 year old man with no boxing defence a stud. As evidence, he still managed to get cracked by the same guy who once flattened many moons ago, twice. Turns out that guy hits a bit less hard at 47 than he did at 38. Daniel Cormier is a better fighter than anyone he faced, but he's also not a Middleweight. Weidman is the one guy who fits your pattern, but you used the plural.

Skip My Posts posted:you're definitely correct that the level of competition is much higher now It probably is. Romero and Jacare represent a much higher level of competition than, say, Nate Marquardt. But Andy hasn't fought either of those guys and is unlikely to.

When you think about it, being good at fighting isn't even an advantage, because then you'll get more fights against better people.

Schenck v. U.S. posted:Rumble fought Vitor Belfort and lost because he got tired and gave up mentally when his first idea didn't succeed right away It's sad that there's going to be a whole generation of fans who just grow up with 'Anthony Johnson - successful/terrifying light heavyweight' and know nothing of the tale of 'Anthony Johnson - The giantest welterweight (who somehow lost to Rich Clementi)'

Mr. Carlisle posted:Weidman's downward spiral bums me out. Here's to hoping he turns it around. He's lost to two pretty good fighters in a row. It's a losing streak, but kind of a qualified one. I still feel super dumb for thinking he was likely to retire undefeated.

The sickest part of this is you can see Dariush jabbing and shooting from further out each time due to the leg kicks, which ends up giving Barboza all the time he needs.

Unfunny Poster posted:The takedown attempt right before the last one he's right inside of clinching range. The first and last one are definitely far out but to say "he was shooting further and further out" is incorrect. You may be right. He definitely gets less willing to commit that outside leg to the takedown.

He's not that technical, but he's a dude you simply cannot afford to gently caress up in front of, because he can really make you pay for it.
