I never like making someone who only fought twice fighter of the year. Holloway beat the same guy twice which isnt amazing, dj beat like #12 ranked ray borg, whittaker's wins were cool and elite but only 2 of em and really not that much more impressive than tyron. Rda and volkan had three solid wins, but i dont think either of them are fighter of the year.


Looks like it is jon jones

I think frankie was always bad, and i think hes slowed a bit, and i think he stands a good chance against max

Didnt francis stagger stipe in one of the later rounds

Hes not that young, but i guess relatively young for a heavyweight

He will get better for sure if he hooks up with some real dedicated coaches or joins a camp that can give him focused attention.

Conor also uses lots of body kicks/no chance spinning kicks to keep guys standing far enough out of the pocket that he can see them coming from a mile away. The post doesnt work quite so great against south paws because its a lot harder to land the left. The fight im most interested to see has always been rda/conor, but nate answered a lot of the south paw questions

I remember staying up late to watch the first ever UFC on FOX, Cain vs JDS 1, on what was probably Setanta Sports at the time and the picture was perfectly fine for entirely of the broadcast except for roughly five seconds.

Five seconds that froze just as JDS stepped into that gigantic overhand shot that put Cain down and resumed as the fight was called. Sitting through all that pomp and bollocks to miss the KO punch was gutting but it wasn't as bad as watching UFC 119: Mir vs Crocop at 3am.


So basically gently caress FOX because that very first show sucked and I was rewarded for sitting through the bad bits by missing the only good bit.

Iirc that card had like a chael/bisping or a rashad fight and it sucked poo poo

Sorry bisping/chael was on the rashad/davis card, which should have led to the cancellation of the fox deal

He let someone hit their opponent 203 times against the opponent's 3 times, mostly on the ground with no realistic way to defend.

Agreed. The ref should have stopped maia/nelson much earlier, and nelson shouldh ave been immediately cut from the ufc
