Do you realize the irony of Alex literally winning every single one of those fights?
They could not out grapple him to victory, by points, damage or submission. That is the concept of good counter grappling.
He shook off Jiri like he had nothing for him. Jan was able to lay in his guard, but couldn't land any big shots, and got absolutely nowhere with submissions.
These are his peers in the division, these are world class 205lbs fighters. They can't out grapple Alex to beat him.
Yes, Alex now...
Whatever you did half a decade ago is irrelevant.
Stipe is completely irrelevant and retired. He will come out of retirement, coming off a bad KO loss, to fight Jones.
It is patently absurd from every angle. Jon should defend or vacate against the #1 contender, but the UFC runs this like the...
The both stopped, literally touch gloves, then resume fighting.
Hill throws his own punch, its just not as good as Alex's strike.
This is a completely absurd notion.
Chis is accurately describing how shitty Alex was at grappling in the first fight with Izzy.
He's a consummate professional however and well trained by Glover, so his counter wrestling has massively improved in the last two years.
At this point Alex is going to be a problem for everyone, and...
The world champion at 185lbs was Izzy, who tried and successfully took him down. Izzy just also sucks at grappling so he couldn't win the fight that way.
Then Jan took him down and attempted to win on the mat - anyone with brains will agree Jan is a very competent MMA grappler. He didn't...
Some folks in here likely do not know Driccus fought at welterweight before moving up to 185lbs.
He's not a particularly "big" middleweight, he's just heavily muscled. Driccus could easily drop 5-7lbs of body mass and have a less aggressive water cut fight week. Its really a personal choice...
Cut to the picture of Geroges begging for his title shot in a beanie cap at UFC 56 looking like a cartoon superhero character. No need to even post it, everyone reading this can picture it lmao
GSP was absurdly lean and jacked on his way up. He looked (and was) much physically bigger than a...
Conor has two fights left on his contract
https://news.yahoo.com/conor-mcgregor-provides-ufc-contract-112316776.html
I would also bet he has a 5 year sunset clause, which is absolute regardless of tolling.
The UFC will do whatever maximizes profit.
If Conor agrees to fight in a revenue split that makes the company more money by booking a title fight, that is what they will do.
I would bet a substantial amount of money this fight makes Bo look bad, even in victory.
The problem is the UFC put Bo on UFC 300 to squeeze some ROI out of him while he's not getting paid much. They really can't book him with another Cody Brundage, its going to be someone who actually belongs...
Rankings are an indexing of your fights in the division over time.
Max has had one fight at lightweight in the last 5 years and is 1-1 overall.
The idea that you magically take someones ranking by beating them is logically bad, unless you are already nearby peers in the division. It is much...
If you didn't watch the fight, Malkoun absolutely did not beat the living anything out of Petroski.
He cracked his head on Malkoun's hip doing a take down, then wobbled around grabbing at air, before collapsing. Malkoun didn't land a single strike in the exchange. Don't take my word for it...
Conor was lighting in a bottle, right place right time stuff. It crossed over to pop culture in a way that is fairly unique in MMA.
Topuria is almost completely unknown outside of MMA and his small home country. He's not going airborne like Conor did.
