We may experience a temporary downtime. Thanks for the patience.
Honest question. What is the point of differentiating between title and non-title matches when allowing a half pound weight allowance?
Obviously once it's in the rulebook, it's the rules, but I am asking about the logic behind the rule. Why not just cut it off at the billed weight? For...
Fitch maybe? He had KOs early in his career but the only KO in UFC and beyond was by upkick of all things.
K1 Maia also comes to mind.
Feels like we're cheating though, including grapplers in the conversation is calling them bad at a game they weren't trying to play lol.
James Te Huna losing to Marquardt in the main event after getting an elaborate entrance and pop from his hometown crowd in New Zealand comes to mind. Unless I'm mistaken he was specifically main eventing that night because he was the biggest new Zealand name (at the time) and it was UFC's first...
I also want to mention Hendo- basically every time he landed the H-Bomb (even if he didn’t win, he would make it close)
like, it was a weapon that kept working against fighters who were sure they had his number all the way up to the end of his career.
Bit of a wild card fight, not sure if it qualifies, but Rich Franklin vs Le?
I feel like Franklin didn’t respect Le’s punching power and tried to make it into a boxing match on the feet. We all know how that ended.
So if it's a title fight specifically, it seems to be a bigger problem if the champion is the one at risk of getting DQ'ed. If it's a challenger it's pretty cut and dried. They're out, and it's at the organization's discretion whether they want to set up a future rematch or if that's it for...
I can appreciate that viewpoint. Different people see fights different ways. As mentioned, the marlon victory is probably his most solid win.
But right now there’s a lot of “what-ifs” regarding what he could have done. I think that if he chooses not to retire, he will continue to win and that...
Putting aside the argument that Cruz is not a prime guy, my point is that he has never had that big signature win without some kind of weird circumstance surrounding it. When I think of the term "Greatest of All Time", I think of big, exciting, dominant victories over top opponents, and yeah...
So...no.
Allow me to explain my point. I really like Cejudo, I was rooting for him last night and was kind of shocked to see him retire.
But here's the thing. All of Cejudo's big wins kind of have asterisks next to them.
Win the belt over Demetrious in a very contentious split decision after...
Option 1: Zero tolerance for eyepokes, intentional eyepokes result in automatic DQ.
Downside: People will play up eyepokes, with there even being incentive to fake it if you're losing a fight.
Option 2: New gloves, make it to where it is physically impossible to poke someone in the eyes unless...
Those body shots set it up for sure, but that was one of the most beautiful punch sequences I've seen. Stipe connects with the hook to the body, DC tries to turn around and recenter, but he turns right into the oncoming hook. Then, he tries to dodge, but ends up back against the cage with...
Yoel has a very judge-unfriendly style. He tends to wait back and counter opponents coming in with crazy power, as well as relying on an iron chin even if he gets hit. He's very hittable, just borderline impossible to finish at the same time.
Whenever I watch a Yoel fight, it always seems like...
