Khabib is basically the most evolved version of a schoolyard bully. His fighting style makes you feel at any moment he could hold the other guys hands and make them punch themselves while yelling STOP HITTING YOURSELF at them.

neonburzt posted:Is there anything that this man will not say? I watched the post fight presser and he actually swored on his daughter’s life that he was disappointed at how the event ended. It's also possible to be disappointed on a personal ethical level (lmao ethics and Dana in the same conversation) while business wise having $$$ flash in your eyes. He's a loving Trump supporting republican, these guys compartmentalize that stuff. Obviously it's certainly not a consistent or reasonable world view, but in his brain I'm pretty sure he can be both the disappointed parent and the guy making hype videos next week.

Honestly a Conor Aldo rematch would be dope, that fight deserves to be longer than 8 seconds. Dunno if Conor thinks it's a money fight, but it makes sense given where both of them are at right now. Has Aldo ever talked about if he's sticking out his career at featherweight? I feel like people have been saying he's gonna move up to lightweight for like the last 7 years but here we are.

I watched with my friend who doesn't normally watch MMA and watching him get increasingly angry at fouls not being called was great. I'm just numb to it at this point.

Don't people usually have suspensions after they've been beaten on for 3 rounds? Christ. Even if he was healthy with a full camp he'd probably be a huge underdog, but this is some real lamb to the slaughter poo poo.

I haven't been following the news cycle, why are we planning heavyweight title fights on three weeks notice exactly? Thats the MSG show, right? I guess they lost something and are desperate for a high profile headliner but I can't for the life of me rememeber how we got here.

willie_dee posted:I know 2 people personally in the UFC. One went to train with Team Alpha Male to get UFC level training, one picked SBG. The local hotshot from my town (Hakeem Dawodu) decided trying to do a camp at SBG for his first UFC fight and got starched in 1 minute. Obviously you can't blame that on the gym and the guy doesn't expliclty poo poo talk the team, but whenever he's asked about he tends to make a quick remark about how the camp didn't go the way he was hoping before changing the subject. He trained at home (with a couple of dates at some other gyms for sparring practice) for his last fight and looked...much better and won his 2nd fight with a dominant decision. I mean, obviously there's no way to not look better no matter what you do coming back after a 1 minute loss. But he certainly hasn't exactly been very excited to endorse SBG.

Maybe I'm gonna start having to pay attention to b leagues again, I honestly haven't bothered since the strikeforce days. Its weird. There's like this decade long cycle of the UFC buying orgs and stealing their talent and people slowly leaving until some other b league gets big enough and the ufc buys them again. And we're definitely in one of those roster low points because WME has been super willing to let people walk if they're not explicit money makers/fighters have a better understanding these of their value and are looking to get paid.

Mr. Nice! posted:Pretty much all of the releases except Gegard Mousasi (and even though he's great he's not ever going to really be a title contender in the UFC) have shown that they were good cuts. Rory is beating up Bellator WWs, but he wasn't going to be fighting for the WW title again in the UFC and Mousasi just schooled him. This is true, but there also have been years where you could look at the UFC and they'd have locked down the top 15 fighters in a weight class. Now it's like oh of you're in the lower half of the top 10 and arent popular and can't win a title here, ehh, gently caress it, go to Bellator. I mean it makes sense businesse wise, but its certainly created a handful of compelling fights outside the UFC. By fight nerd status anyways yes i know we're not the target audience

Like 90% of gyms outside of supercamps make a significant percentage of their income from people training for fitness. With the exception of the highest tiers of guys its pretty common for UFC people to still be teaching classes. So if you're in a city with ufc athletes doing combat sports at any level there's a high chance of meeting them. I've mentioned training with Hakeem Dawodu before years ago. Tbh I don't even know if he still coaches at the gym I was at....you know what he found that paid better? A hipster cardio boxercise studio. He hustled shirts through it to help fund his last camp.

Southpaugh posted:Considering everyone was saying he was going to be completely dominated and brutalised I think he did do pretty well, defensively. He was never going to submit khabib. He lost the mental edge when khabib floored him with that right after that khabib didn't respect his striking and just did his thing. Everyone (in the know) said it was a mostly pick em fight with Khabib as a slight favourite but the also with the possibility of him getting starched cause he walks into punches. Everyone not in the know was pretty sure Conor was gonna starch a bitch. Saying everyone thought he was gonna get smashed is some revisionist poo poo.

evobatman posted:This is probably a dumb question and I think I might even have asked it before. It's really hard to generate power from that position so usually you just end up annoying the guy while getting taken down even quicker. There's obviously a few guys who have had success with it. Aside from the already mentioned stuff, Browne/Barnett comes to mind. But yeah, in general it's not a super successful strategy.
