It's crazy that they have the confidence to give Glover less than a month to recover and retrain. Even if he's not feeling sick at all, he shouldn't be training with anybody for a while.

What is the minimum yall think the UFC would allow between date of 2nd confirmation test and a fight, 2 weeks?

Id assume once you test negative you're good to go?

Reasonable— wonder what the test frequency is after a confirmed positive. Not daily, right?

Though we did have a fight sports newbie question thread until recently. Maybe that can just be updated.

I think it still works. Just doesn’t have much newbie traffic:

Jones/Reem would be a good fight.

Might be a bit low action. Reem has no way to build range offense on Jones. In the clinch, he might have the strength and experience to outwork Jones.
But I'd see it as a plodding, point-scoring fight for Jones.

Augusto Sakai had more wins, main card appearances and finishes than gsp did before his first title shot, and that wasn't a problem then, but they still manage now to make people go "who?" because they never put the spotlight on new talent.
Sakai doesn’t have perry pantastic body.

Overeem could kick him in the legs and that would be enough range offense to fluster Jones.

I dunno, I see a lot of knee sidekicks and warding snap kicks from Jones on any HW. Maybe Reem has a better gauge on Jones’ overall game from training in ABQ with them.

Suppose it's different with body shots.

A lot of body shots you could also completely recover from in 7 minutes, especially if it was a liver shot and there was minimal contusion to your muscles.
If you get badly concussed, that poo poo'll stick to you.

I don’t think it’s ever that exacerbated for elite tier fighters. You can absolutely get into hesitation mode with throwing strikes, but your opponent will 95% of the time offer some offense to which you need to minimally respond. You just don’t get clear cut moments where your technique clearly fails in isolation.


e:
All I can think about is how Jon Jones would mock McGregor for being mentally weak once he gets inte his next bender Twitter frenzy.

I’ll give credit to Colby for actually being a gimmick if from here on out if he’s starts marking for AOC 2024, and no less. Until then, full time racist.

Now the question is, will anyone listen to the whole podcast and transcribe it here so we can see if his position of "you have to hand it to sorry hitler" is dumb or not.

I am certainly not. I'm not interested in listening to a 4 HOUR LONG podcast about social media and debating with noted UFC nothingness "Ryan Hall" to see if his position on hitler being sorry for genocide is good or bad.

Is Lex Fridman one of those podcasters who you can write off by name alone, like wherever Lowtax went to explain his side of the story?

Georges did get bigger (and presumably trained more) as his career progressed. He never looked insane like Costa, though.

It’s weird that he’s thirsting to fight Diego and Gaejthe in the same breath. Also, Dana can’t shake the “kid” Bostonism.

After some mulling, I've decided it'd be funnier if Costa popped for this fight and Izzy on the next.
Instead of Adesanya getting busted right away.
