Didn't people used to say GSP wasn't all that big of a welter in his prime? I guess it's feasible he could make 155 but I'd still be shocked as hell to see it.

People actually said he was small which I never understood unless your points of comparison are just peak Thiago Alves and roided to the gills Johny Hendricks

Machida asked for Bisping. Tbh it makes sense for both of em to take that fight and retire afterwards.

while looking broadly at their careers and where they are now i agree, that fight sounds wicked boring.

Guida was cool when he was losing fun fights where he got hit a lot. I feel like that doesn't happen enough anymore since someone told him what 'gameplanning' is.

when most fighters outclass an opponent such that the opponent can't stop the fighter doing exactly what he planned for, we get an entertaining ko or tko, a sub, or at least some dominant positional grappling. with guida, we'd see him humping someone in full guard while landing tiny elbows without any posturing up.

“I can’t wait to not watch UFC fights,” he posted in the UFC thread, for some stupid loving reason.

'i cant wait to not watch strikeforce challengers fights pretending to be ufc fights' :)

also it’s cool the UFC tripled their TV deal so now instead of whining about Debt the cool business goons can whine about there being too many fights (the exact same number as before the ESPN deal)

there have been too many for a while. so the fighters i give a poo poo about get spread out over more cards, meaning there's less incentive to watch any one card. which means i get less exposure to new guys coming up. i still watch probably half the cards, but usually not very attentively and i rarely bother with the undercard as more than background noise to whatever else i'm doing.

This has been happening for at least 10 years

a lot of the ones that look like poo poo on paper actually end up being poo poo but those don't stick out so much in the memory, not being surprising

That's famous meth addict "Mark Hunt". His parents tried to name him "Mike Hunt" but the doctors wouldn't let them.

i've got a mining law textbook on my shelf at work written by michael hunt. apparently he's kind of a prick in person so his parents knew what they were doing
