What is it about the Korean MMA landscape that produces fighters with poor defense? It's weird that TKZ is the guy who comes to mind for having any defensive sense.

there still wouldn't be enough dedicated coaches and unfortunate Mexican meat to stop him getting his brains blasted out early. Can't really pin this one on him, Canelo is the guy who really authored that KO

Hell I might as well call out Jones, I've got just as much chance of getting that fight as Chuck does.

Are Dagestanis well regarded across Russia, or at least in Moscow? Like is Khabib gonna get the pop that the UFC wants?

I remember when Fedor's daughter was attacked, I asked about the national outlook on Kadyrov and Chechnya and weird things like the attacker was of "Slavic appearance", but it was never clear to be how MMA and the different Caucasian republics are thought of.

Imagine being genuinely afraid that the baby oil guy was gonna call you out from his cell. That would be far worse.

It's like there were no options. Shoot for the legs? Nope. You'd slide on the oil and slam into the toilet. Go up high? Nope you'll just throw yourself off balance. The only option was to make a valiant effort and get covered in hot baby oil while a man pummels you about the head and face.

Did anyone try to enhance their shoe grip with homemade yaktrax or maybe t-shirt rags?

i'm not going to earnestly defend the oildome guy's honour but he literally never claimed that.

> Did anyone ever conquer the oil cell? "No, no one hosed with me in prison".

He might have lost some matches outside the Oildome, but inside he was never defeated.

Till is really big, and I think he has a real shot at punching over some of Thompson's kicks. Basically work at Thompson's range more effectively than others have.
I think Till took one or two really good shots from Cerrone, and while he didn't just shrug them off, he was able to work past them.

JJ should have a press conference acknowledging that before signing, and then after the contract is signed, flip the script and talk whatever poo poo she wants.

How far ahead of time do they film the talking head promos on cards? Wanna see Till talking about how huge he is. And maybe he cutting weight isn't an issue.

the lack of anything happening at all in till/thompson is partly stylistic and partly because the octagon is so enormous and open that it makes that sort of fight possible and desirable by the fighters

My DMV has electronic displays to tell you which counter to go to. And they sell really lovely ad space to run on these boards. Guess the ESPN deal is so important that the UFC needs to advertise here as well.
