DumbWhiteGuy posted:do you guys remember awhile back when all of our champions were cool? and now look at them stipe is pretty awesome imo. i like that he's good enough at everything to punish successful heavyweights with huge flaws. i think the jds rematch will be very good.

ronda was walking through miesha and holm's punches pretty easily, it's just that holm hit her clean at will and made her do the looney tunes tazmanian devil spin to try to catch her, and even then she still was almost armbarred. only lady vitor has ever really made ronda stop coming forwards.

kimbo305 posted:Those are pretty in contradiction with each other. The way Ronda was getting hit, I think she'd have been finished even without the head kick. my point wasn't that she could have walked through holm's punches indefinitely, my point was that she did in fact walk through them for a round in which got hit a bunch on the chin, psychotically exhausted herself, and even though holm was fighting a perfect fight she still got her against the fence and on the ground. so i don't think joanna's strikes would trouble her until she's basically lost the fight anyway.

at this point it seems fairly likely that fatherdog self banned so he wouldn't have to face the relentless trolling weidman's losing streak would have unleashed

Fat Twitter Man posted:I loved Anderson Silva as much as anyone but he was having competitive fights with people like Chael Sonnen and Yushin Okami, so maybe his title streak was more a product of luck and a terrible division than him being some kind of unbeatable demigod. okami looked like a kitten playing with a large, adult cat. he was crushed in that fight.

Fat Twitter Man posted:lol, yeah, as I typed that I realized that I was sort of proving myself wrong. but the division hasn't improved as fast as all the others have. even heavyweight has more depth these days. heavyweight used to be really dire because it was split up between competing promotions, but I wonder if the Fedor/Nog/Crocop trinity had been in the UFC instead of Pride and Velasquez/JDS dethroned them that LHW wouldn't be taken so seriously. i think light heavyweight was really cool for a while because you had an unbroken continuity between elite fighters like liddell, ortiz, couture etc. who got hosed up by machida, rashad, shogun, rampage, iirc evans/machida was the first title fight between undefeated fighters in ufc history. and machida crushed him to put an exclamation point on the most dominant winning streak i've ever seen, and then he put on an all time great fight with shogun, and then shogun beat him, and then jones killed everyone and then his own career. so no one is taking cormier or anyone else in the division seriously except for maybe rumble because his streak is reminiscent of machida's and he never lost to jones, and now he's retired. i also really wonder if fighters who are coming up are deliberately avoiding 205 as much as possible because of jones.

rashad did amazingly considering his style gives him an effective 3 inch reach

the actual reason he has few fans on this dot com is that in 2009 or whatever, before he started losing but also clearly wasn't taking on the best heavyweights in the world and in fact had gotten sloppier and worse, there was still an insane echo chamber clamouring for fedor p4p best fighter ever. so there's a kind of prideful contrarianism to calling fedor total poo poo.

i've watched mma for like eight years now and you get used to the endless litany of assholes and pieces of poo poo going in and out of mma on a conveyor belt because fighting for money means there's probably something wrong with you. but mike perry really bugs me. he has resurrected the naive, fresh-faced hatred which once made me edit bisping's wikipedia to call him a douchebag out of the sincere belief that someone being personally distasteful is bad. as opposed to all things considered not being as bad as chopping off someone's legs for stealing from your gym, regularly beating strangers to within an inch of their lives and not going to jail, or driving a railroad spike through a dog's head. i really want him to lose.

i can't see how jones will beat cormier without his sex pills. hanging dong limply will spell his defeat.

you misunderstand me keven, im saying that his game will be compromised by the lack of a thick, long, hard penis. why do you think his eyepokes and oblique 'kicks' have been the terror of the division.
