ISRAEL ADESANYA IS FIGHTER OF THE YEAR

[PitDoggMMA]

Except when conor knocked out aldo in 13 seconds in the fastest ko in a championship fight that he was shown in the back planning literally right before the fight lmao you fans are funny with the and "this has actually never occurred in the history of mma lmao..

either short memories or maybe you just did not know? Or you're just not a fan of conor, either way he did it before jorge like the guy or not.

Conor's was more luck, than planning, and it wasn't (1) a world record, or (2) against an undefeated fighter.

You can't even compare the two, really.

Jorge Masvidal threw one, single blow ... and nailed it on the money ...

It was actually a 2-second knockout, it just took five seconds for the referee to stop it. Conor's punch against Aldo was neither planned, nor the first and only punch thrown in the fight.

Not even in the same ballpark as far as planning, visualization, and perfect execution.

And, for that matter, dumb asses, Conor's fight is not a candidate for a 2019 entry

I agree.

It is actually easier, and more commonplace, to "win a Championship" ... than it is to earn the absolute fastest KO in UFC history.

Championship titles change hands all the time; world records change hands rarely, if ever. (Especially against undefeated fighters.)

What makes Masvidal's world record accomplishment all the more special is it was planned.

He saw the opportunity in Askren's MO, he planned for it, he trained for it, and Masvidal executed his plan to perfection. This is actually never occurred before in the history of MMA.

He planned it but it still a very low % chance of it occurring (that way at least) if that opening sequence was run 1000 times. Was more of a perfect storm kind of thing.

One 45 years old and Two Ex Welterweights.

43 year old* not that he's young but still.
Regarding Whittaker and Gastelum being "Ex Welterweights": Whittaker was too small at welterweight, so he's really at his natural weightclass now - he's also still the best current middleweight on earth, right behind Adesanya. As for Gastelum: he's chubby, but he belongs at middleweight as well and when he's got a good day (which he got against Adesanya) he's amongst the very best middleweights as well and one of the best boxers in the whole UFC.

 

[Russie]

Give it to him.

Conor was seen practicing those same techniques that he used to KO him. So...its very much the same.

Except in terms of importance as far as titles n champions. Conor's win is much more meaningful. But you are right, not in 2019 n not needed to be discussed much itt.

You can't say it was a low percentage chance. He nailed it on the money.

I can't think of any other fight, in the history of the sport, where a fighter smiled the entire time, ran one way in the cage, then another, to get the perfect angle ... and then executed a single-blow finish ... to a previously-undefeated fighter, no less ... and then proceeded to show videos of his plan in place, prior to the fight even occurring.

It was the most perfectly-executed strategy in the history of the sport, simultaneously being the quickest-KO in the history of the sport, again against an undefeated fighter to boot.

This is absolutely unprecedented and it will never be duplicated.

The mastery of this is worth far more than "winning a title" ...

Conor did plan that same sequence that ended the fight , there is backstage footage of him peforming it. And jorges record is a ufc record not mma record same as conors its a ufc record not mma.. whats wrong with you?? Stop acting weird bro...

And if anything jorges was luck to land it on the 1st attempt.. he said even if he got taken down he was sure he was going to get up anyways.. so get real... out of 100 times which do you think lands more often a high risk flying knee or a counter left hand of a over aggressive fighter?

Jorge is that you??

 

[Lateralus]

It's between Israel,Cejudo and Masvidal IMO.
All had a stand out year.

 

[aali14]

Lol at the idea that beating Diaz is some sort of an accomplishment, have you seen the guy's record?

 

[MPD-Psycho]

It’s either Izzy, Mas, or CCC.

 

[Sweater of AV]

 

[Dr Guildo]

Adesanya in my opinion. Dont know anything about Cejudo or that division so can't tell anything about him.

But between Adesanya and Masvidal I would say Adesanya, he has beaten better competition and is champion. Masvidal has been great as well but can't see how anyone could argue that he has had a better year than Adesanya. Maybe more spectacular with the hype around the "BMF"-belt and the win over Askren and everything outside the matches. But in a strictly technical view Adesanya is fighter of the year.

 

[MileHigher]

Stop yelling, damn is that really necessary? That shit is hurting my eyes.

 

[BangBang]

Got to be (Adesanya)

Masvidal has done well but he was always an eight out of 10 fighter anyway. IMO Edwards would school him.

 

[PitDoggMMA]

Jorge is that you??

No, idiot.

All your if-clauses mean nothing. IFFF you were my mother's brother, you'd be my uncle. But you're not.

#1 Idiot: Conor's fight had nothing to do with this thread or fighters in 2019. This right here clears the air of anything you have to say: you're too stupid to stick to the topic.

#2 Idiot:Jorge's KO is an absolute world record, across every genre of MMA, and against an undefeated fighter to boot. It is also the only one-hit KO, ever, the very first movement and blow thrown.

It was not "luck," either, but perfectly-visualized and perfectly-executed strategy.

Ok jorge... and no its not the the 1st blow ko in mma history you are dumb and dksak.

 

[Mammothman]

No way, it have to be Triple Cringe, Israel was fantastic but CCC should be above him

 

[tat2man5k]

Nah. Even if I dont care for the little guys, Cejudo is fighter of the year. Nobody is close.

I love Mas And Israel, but what they did was kind of expected.

Was it though? Most people assumed that KG would beat Izzy with wrestling, and that Bobby Knuckles would run through him. Mas was EXPECTED to set a world record vs Askren? Nah. He MAYBE was expected to beat Diaz, but not many saw it happening inside the distance.
