It's easy to feel that way when you remember the Struve and Gonzaga fights (the latter of which I tragically witnessed live) but I do think he is very good. Source: every fight he has had since Gonzaga

i think he's very good, i just don't get the feeling like looking at say cain (rip) that this guy is head and shoulders above everyone. i also think the struve loss was bs and he got poked in the eye but i have never bothered to go back and watch it to see if that's true.

Hunt vs Miocic and Lesnar were sincerely the lease I've ever enjoyed watching the UFC, outside of the average brazillian throwaway TV card

the brazilian card where the hometown guys kept getting nuked and they had to clean dead moths off the canvas with packing tape in between the fights was one of my favourite shows ever

hey remember this brutal poo poo



Apparently Goes had a brain bleed after that, which isn't surprising considering he's getting shunted out of the ring solely via getting kneed directly on the top of the head. It's like violent furniture rearranging

Cerrone talks a big game but he knows that Big John tells them all in the back that if they start having sex with their opponents it'll be a disqualification

Bas Rutten used to be at the bleeding edge of striking in this sport and he said there was no reason to ever jab in MMA, so it's hard to blame Quarry. It's easy to blame him for his post-fighting career: making a comic book called "zombie cage fighter"

Bas threw straight lead hands all the time, he just wasn't on board with feinting or not sitting down on punches. He figured you may as well just full on punch

Part of his no jabs thing was informed by being a Dutchman in a sport of wrestlers so he had an incredibly square stance, if he never had a lead leg then he had two power hands and could sprawl (theoretically). He's right that you do need a squarer stance in MMA but he was also lovely at wrestling and "limp leg" was just a side effect of painkillers to bas

So I'm going to be in China from Aug - Nov.

I found out UFC will be back in Saitama Super Arena end of September.

I'm thinking about maybe doing some Japan tourism and maybe doing the UFC show???

I'm trying to figure out if that part would be a waste of time (as in, would there be anything special about SSA? Am I just clutching to memories of PRIDE? Would my time be better spent ya know... doing Japanese things? ) ?

If you've been to a UFC event before they're pretty much the same whichever country they're in. If you want to relive memories of PRIDE there's going to be a Rizin show in October with the second round of a GP with Kyoji Horiguchi, and whatever other dumb poo poo they put on it.

It's impossible to second guess UFC business practices these days but I can't imagine any Japanese card these days being good, they kind of peaked at Silva vs Stann and then kept getting Roy Nelson fights.

And donald trumps wife... she hates him! I dont know who hates this guy more... the american people... or his own wife!

And finally, when Fedor demanded copromotion of UFC event against Randy Natural, preventing the fight from ever happening, thats when we knew for sure that the true heavyweight goat of all time is big nog.

Saki hasn't fought regularly in forever because of a number of issues, one is that he couldn't get through camp without being injured and maintain his weight. The other is he wouldn't fight cheap.

He didn't look great against Ciobanu like 2 years ago, and that's a guy he would've effortlessly stomped 5 years ago. He's spent so much time inactive it's hard to say where he stands in kickboxing let alone a different sport.

Interested to see if he stays at 205 or not
