i respect cyborg after the holly holm fight.

every other performance of her career repulses me on a primal level. it's a combination of her rampant and truly epic abuse of steroids, the almost impossibly low calibre of her opponents, the made up title in a made up weight division, and the fact that she is an actual draw that curdles a cyborg fight into a deeply unsettling farce that feels like a blood sacrifice to the ugliest parts of humanity brought into the light by the elephant man, frankenstein's monster, and pt barnum's parade of unfortunates.

the fact that requesting cindy dandois is among the most offensive acts of her career is staggering. that streamable of dandois fighting in the ufc is literally unbelievable.

c'est la vie

i don't want cyborg / dandois to take the place of any fight on any card because it is not a legitimate contest. nobody would sanction lawler / cmpunk. even the shadier native american commissions would pause at that. how the gently caress can the same commissions even consider what is ostensibly at least as big of a mismatch?

Cyborg ducking and trying to wrangle circumstances to be her absolute benefit has been her game forever, it's really weird to because she could still probably comfortably beat pretty much everyone.

poo poo, i respect it. getting paid insane amounts of money to take zero damage and effortlessly destroy a person who is explicitly there to lose while increasing your stock because your fanbase consists entirely of effete deviants with extremely specific kinks is an enviable point in the career of someone who looks like, and is, cris cyborg.

It would be a lot more palatable to me if she were just beating up bad legit featherweights rather than beating women significantly smaller than her bloody and sometimes missing weight while doing it.

the best natural 145er in the world other than cyborg just got embarrassed by holly holm's wrestling. i just... cannot get my head around the gulf in talent.

Dan Didio posted:

I actually know someone who fought her, which I always forget.

that's cool. any passingly interesting anecdotes? a guy i work with knew the aforementioned second best w145er in the world personally when she wasn't a pro fighter. he said, quote, 'she is loving huge'. that's my story.

i'd watch it if holm promises to that exact same combination she threw non-stop the entire last fight. i just could not stop thinking about how she was a professional boxer. a world champion boxer. and a world champion mixed martial artist. wmma still finding ways to be absolutely and utterly bizarre.

they should strip covington and then cut him from the roster completely.

can't wait to see how till's tentative technical striking will match up with woodley's unique style. after we find out, just close down the welterweight division for 6 months. completely strip it. like it never existed. then open it again and have a ww tournament and we'll start all over.

ww since lawler's reign has been as tragic as mark hunt's childhood and way less violent.

The Woodley Era isn't as bad as you make it out to sound. He has had some bad fights but also good fights too. If GSP had to fight Demian Maia and a cowardly ineffectual Wonderboy then his fights might have been better than Woodley's but not by a lot. I think the depth of contendership is just weak right now by comparison to 5-8 years ago.

no champion has ever had 3 title fights in a row as bad as wonderboy 1,2, and maia. there are very, very few champions who have had one title defence as bad as any of those three, let alone all three in succession.

woodley has built a case for being the most unwatchable champion in combat sports.

tim sylvia had the awful arlovski and monson title fights back to back. but sylvia is probably the most hated ufc champion in history so woodley's in good company.

that is a loving grim indictment lol.

even if sylvia had a third we'd have to stop judging it based on effective striking and grappling (number of unwatchable fights in a row) and start looking at aggression and octagon control (calibre of the weight class they are / were intent on making unwatchable with their antics) and i'm going to have to still give woodley the tedious majority decision.

Haven't all the big champs caught poo poo for boring fights? I coulda sworn gsp had some boring ones. Or Ben Henderson? Or Aldo? Idk, I'm not defending Woodley or anything cause his last few fights have been dog poo poo. But my mma memory is gettin kinda fuzzy and now I'm really trying to think of some boring rear end title fights that I regret paying for over the years.

I just remembered i bought shields vs gsp and that poo poo was boring. And i think i bought florian vs aldo and that was boring too i think.

yeah man i'm not sure you're on the same page as me or any of the other people discussing woodley's title reign but that's cool, it's always good to hear what fights people thought were tedious or whatever.

that fight ends in a knockout and i give the edge to perry. cerrone loving loves to get hit in the head. that said though, if cerrone pulls off one of those sick 6 hit combos like the rick story ko and switches off perry's r-word brain that would be equally sick.
