Adesanya is primarily a kickboxer but Wu Lin Feng, the promotion he fought under in China, also held MMA rules fights, and he's splattered a bunch of people there under MMA rules

The Korean Zombie's knee rehab has gotten to the point that he's going to start jiu jitsu classes again in a couple of weeks, but he's also having a third baby so if he's back this year I'd expect it to be late in the year

I've only ever seen Israel Adesanya fight and never heard him speak, but I just watched this interview and he's got the right combination of confidence and extreme computer guy style personal uncoolness to make it big. It starts off with him talking about how he gave himself a nickname based on a children's cartoon and later he shows off his enormous Deadpool tattoo

the second dong hyun kim is more fun to watch than ol' donger these days, i'm afraid

Big Dong has had a handful of really cool moments amongst a sea of blandness but ultimately his legacy is probably getting the UFC lots of publicity in Korea for smashing Jason Tan, paving the way for guys like the zombie. I can't blame the guy for picking a sustainable career in the lucrative doing random bullshit on TV industry, but it sucks a lot more than Akiyama because Dong is actually a good fighter.

I did too. He looked stupid easy to hit and was a bit chinny too. For a guy who's supposed to be an amazing karate specialist he didn't look great.

sage northcutt is like a feral child that was raised by the editorial staff of black belt magazine circa 1980. disregard anything about his accomplishments or background that didn't take place under mma rules because it exists in the parallel grey economy centered around trophy engraving shops.

it's crazy that jacare has basically 0 mma career accomplishments (aside from beating a shitload of good fighters) despite being so good. he couldn't even defend the strikeforce title.

he would've had ufc middleweight champion as an accomplishment if he got the title shot he deserved when weidman was champ imo

mma is just such a weird sport where ultra talented guys are in the wrong place at the wrong time

ya. jacare's not one of those dudes who had it all but just couldn't put it all together, he more or less consistently put it all together and then it never happened for him because???

Jacare might not have the most tools in his box on the feet, but he hits hard enough to cause Bisping problems and can pressure guys enough that I could imagine him forcing Bisping into bad habits. Jacare's not a Maia style guy and I don't think he'd dash himself upon the rocks of Bisping's takedown defense until he gassed, though it is of course a possibility. I think it'd be like the GSP fight where Bisping eventually absorbs a shot that leads to a finish on the ground, but with an actual middleweight and not a retired guy dying from rear end problems.
