I feel like the UFC really wants me to like Sean O'Malley. I just wanna call him Ameri-Conor.

White, Irish name, Tattooed, throws flashy kicks, talks poo poo... He checks all of Uncle Dana's hype machine boxes

I'll give it to Conor, it's gotta take pretty good acting skills to pretend like you actually enjoyed that sandwich.

I know its more British Isles food than Irish food specifically and the association here is only due to how its typically marketed/sold in the US but bangers and mash are my jam

Corned beef sucks though

I dunno where you're eating that's hawking bangers and mash as Irish but I want no part of that place.

Also corned beef is quite good.

I can't stop thinking about Khabib and Tony.

I think Kevin Lee showed us that Khabib is gonna be able to take Tony down. Tony's takedown defense isn't that good. But there's a ton of tape on Khabib at this point and he often goes for the same positions.

Tony and Eddie bravo are in the back room watching tape with a four foot bong between them brainstorming and they just might come up with something. Khabib is likely going to be able to establish some of his favorite top positions. The question is what happens after that. Eddie's invented several sweeps, submissions, and even entirely new control positions that get used regularly, if anyone can do it it's him. It's just so loving hard to imagine beating Khabib by playing to his strengths.

Tony is gonna try to strike at range or drop elbows from guard if he gets taken down.

It will help you recover and grow new tissue. It won't make you stronger or faster or wiser or improve cardio or anything like that. Anecdotally, it helps 'maintain lean body bass' on a cut.

Um, at what IU dosage are you talking about here? Because non-anecdotally people who take 4+ tend to see massive strength gains when adding it to their workout routine.

Women's MMA is so thin that the 145lbs champion is pulling people out of the Z leagues for title shots, the 135lbs champion gets to fight breakeven fighters who haven't fought in 2 years for a title, the 125lbs division champ was gifted her belt after a TUF season and is about to die to the girl coming down from 135lbs, and 115 has two fighters anyone cares about.

aldo apparently wants to fight stephens at 224. that would be very sick and i endorse this.

Sure but isn't Stephens basically next in line for the title after Ortega? Aside from a paycheck what's he got to gain by fighting Aldo?

JaySB
Nov 16, 2006



Yes, we as the fans have everything to gain. That's not really the point though. Stephens can sit around for a few months and then fight for the title

Stephens sparking Aldo could definitely get him a queue skip over Ortega if Holloway's out for a while.

Uncle Dana already called T City and told him he was getting a title shot. He would never take that away from him....

All the Sean O'Malley hype makes me feel like I'm in an episode of Twilight Zone. Every talking head insisting he's a future superstar and insisting he has that "it" quality. Meanwhile, he seems like a decent fighter who comes across as a little awkward in interviews. Am I missing something?

As I said, he ticks all of Dana's hype train boxes. White, Irish name, tattooed, trash talks, swings for the KO. The rest is coachable

We're gonna argue semantics here, but it's not hard to win rounds in boxing if your opponent literally doesn't throw a punch.

You're dumb. Floyd clowned Conor and could have finished that fight any time he wanted after the 3rd round.

Yeah he did well, prime Cotto would have been a much tougher fight for Floyd, but Floyd took over in the 9th in that fight and cruised.
