There shouldn't be any downtime, as it's just a maintenance release. More info here
I've always kinda disliked the live stat displays because they're generally inaccurate, and they even used to point out on UFC broadcasts earlier on after they acquired and started using FightMetric that the stats displayed weren't final. But the official reason for that was nothing corrupt, it...
As a 40 year old (who would probably be a tall 155er if I fought), I agree 100%. I was still in pretty good shape into my 30s, but when I hit 35 shit just got more difficult. The decline started slow and I actually started to bounce back nicely around 37, but now I have a bad back and it's...
There's definitely some merit to that, but I'd been saying Volk was headed for a decline even before this fight, just because he's now 35 years old and an elite fighter under 185 lbs haha. I always laughed it off, but after that crazy stat on the matter was revealed and seeing Usman and...
I've had a ton of these but the first memorable one for me was Shogun/Machida. Was a huge Machida fan and Shogun was my all time fav.
I was still a Machida fan but of course needless to say I was rooting hard for Shogun in the rematch and his win was one of my happiest MMA fan moments haha.
And...
These curses are of course just superstitions, but they aren't entirely about wins and losses. Jones didn't lose a fight, but after making the cover he popped for coke ahead of the DC win, was stripped of the title and suspended (the first of 3) after the hit-and-run incident, then after winning...
TL;DR
Chito's not trying to disrespect, and is just saying Cruz breaks a lot of fundamental rules that he and his coaches see as inadvisable. Cruz's age and injuries should definitely be considered factors, but another big reason Chito won this fight was because he took advantage of fundamental...
Wasn't necessarily a fan of the guy, never considered myself a hater though, but Paddy The Saddy was definitely more endearing.
Good on him for an impressive win and really doing some good guy shit in the post fight. It's a message that really does need to get out and he used his platform...
Moose is one of those weird fighters where if he went out there and torched Whittaker and/or Izzy I wouldn't be surprised one bit. And I also wouldn't be surprised if in his very next fight he went out and got dominated by someone he was like a -600 favorite over haha.
Felt the same way about...
Thanks for the update, didn't know they removed it! Don't know when they did it, but I do know that it was still a rule when Nick did it in the Nate/Thomson fight. It's interesting that the wording there makes it seem like corners weren't able to stop the fights at all, because I always thought...
That's an interesting one because if I'm not mistaken, literally throwing in the towel is and was ruled a foul under the unified rules, and isn't supposed to be considered by the ref as a signal that the fight needs to be stopped. Would've been interesting to see what would've happened if the...
It's crazy that as soon as he slowed down/his game got figured out, he became a decision machine. Once you see a guy basically do nothing, lose the majority of fights, but finally find that opening for a good shot that puts his opponents away, you learn to just stop giving it to him, and Sam...
I for one would absolutely love to see that haha. A fighter so confident that they don't care about being perceived as weak. Or just a fighter with such a DGAF attitude; I feel like if Forrest was a better fighter it's something he might've pulled off. I remember him talking about basically...
I always find the narrative that Alvey is an exciting fighter interesting. He's definitely had some knockdown-dragout moments, but he's also spent a ton time waiting around for counters and throwing very little output in fights. Then he gets mad when he's losing and puts it all out there close...
Oh I totally agree, and Chael is a prime example of confidence suddenly leaving. We've all seen that perfectly-timed pic of him on his ass right after he whiffed that backfist, looking up at Silva in horror before the knee came haha.
I think fake confidence is probably very common in the...
It's actually a pretty interesting question. I can think of examples where fighters went into the fight very respectful and humble, but showed more forward confidence in the fight, but not any where they looked flat-out unconfident and hit a 180 come fight time.
I think part of that might just...
