Moussasi's in a good spot because even with a loss he's a recognisable name in a division where by all rights the Bellator champion should be a 40 year old Melvin Manhoef, and he already has Coker's ear. Even if he had no intention of leaving the UFC he can run up his price tag.

Well as much as it would loving suck to see him leave at least we could see him knock out Ryan Bader en route to a tournament final against Gabi Garcia

Has anybody done any comprehensive research why some people can seemingly take massive blows to the head without getting knocked out? Like, is it bone structure, or something different in the brain it self, both, neither? I've played plenty of combat sports/done stupid poo poo over my lifetime and have taken some amazing cartoon seeing stars shots to the dome, but I've only been knocked out once ever in my life and it was only for maybe a minute or so if even that long when I got airbagged in a pretty serious car wreck. Like sometimes it seems almost worse to be able to not be able go down very easy with the new fear of sub concusive hits.

You can only do observational studies on people because it's kind of unethical to knock people out in an MRI machine. There's only so much you can glean from looking at somebody's brain and brainbox before and after, but the Cleveland brain study is ongoing. If they publish any results it's going to be about boring poo poo like ensuring human safety and longevity rather than understanding why people fight good.

Could be misremembering, but I thought Dunc linked to a study of a dude giving rats concussions, and it being really weird to picture a guy in a lab environment just blonking mice in the head with a hammer

Please It's a special pneumatic hammer to ensure that the rats get equally, precisely, and repeatably brutally hosed up

btw, would just like to make the point that its very possible to be in great shape and have great cardio all the time, since most athletes in most sports manage it. it just doesnt seem to happen a lot in the ufc, i guess theres less need for it since they dont compete that often. but i think that kind of complacency is holding a lot of fighters back. then again for 10k a fight every 6 months i might take a few months off every year too

I think for a lot of guys after they start getting bum knees doing hours of long slow distance becomes much less desirable and/or achievable

I don't think anyone's mentioned yet that Fire Kid is finally making his UFC debut this weekend (I think prelim main event?). He's rad: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oqhdR4XsQvE

BAMMA always makes me think of the various cage rage rap songs, perhaps most notably for Cage Rage: Hard as Hell which probably seemed massively homoerotic to the outside world

Brendan Schaub brought up a good point on the pod cast that he has to do because despite trying really hard not to he absolutely could not stop getting knocked out by fat old guys, despite being 50 times better than him at absolutely everything and having an infinitely better career on paper: mighty mouse is actually not as good as him because he doesn't get knocked out constantly

schaub proved that those 50 year old kiai masters who throw their students all over the place without touching them are the real deal by getting beat into retirement by joe rogan talking to him for 5 minutes
