The guy only has 2 good wins still. He lost to Yan (after getting away with 9 separate point deduction level fouls).Sure he beat Aljo and all respect there ,great win. We all heard the saga behind the UFC basically threatening to strip Aljo if he didn't fight on their specific date. He is 1-1 vs...

Nah mate, he is just Australian. He is basically just seeing how much of a piss take he can take. If the Rogan podcast is true, he has been basically been warming up with a couple drinks before most of his recent competitions.

Why would anyone care about someone taking something that wasn't banned at the time? Headbutts were initially legal and then became illegal. Mark Coleman didn't retroactively cheat because the rules changes....

That team sure has lot of accidental PED failures... It's never their fault though.

I linked it in a post above. That's for cageside equivalent seats in probably the prime area. I am listening to Jones on Rogan at the moment. He has any of these questions better than this thread does. He is basically having a crack at running a similar event and putting the money into paying...

This is for ammy fighters. In theory you should be fighting pretty regularly and would never really get a "proper camp" in. I know we see people run full camps as an ammy these days, but personally it would make more sense to me for an ammy to basically fight every 6-12 weeks, train around 80%...

ADCC has tickets as high as 10,000+ for an individual ticket. It's interesting to see who might jump on board in terms of sponsorship to potentially break the hold Flo Grappling has on the sport in terms of viewing ADCC. ADCC was originally started in a similar way and has only become really...

Why not ? Tickets, sponsors, advertising not blocked behind the Flo grappling paywall. It's still possible to make some sort of money.

10,0001 x32 + a 1 mil prize (maybe 2 for women's). That's not a ridiculous outgoing, but curious to see what they would actually make back.

Being paid to be one of the best in your sport isn't the equivalent of pro wrestling. I get what you are trying to say, but it's more akin to boxing or MMA. BJJ has become the new version of beer league sports for ageing males. People dislike it in MMA because they actually understand what they...

We are talking about lifting here only for a fighter. You wont lose strength in 2 weeks and may still have a cut plus your last hard sparring/ conditioning sessions.

The chart is just a resource to explain the criteria. It was introduced to make it easier for other sport judges to understand and score MMA. You said you knew the criteria so I didn't post the link, just the image. https://combatsportslaw.com/2022/07/25/abc-introduces-mma-scoring-ladder/ It's...

No I haven't. It's all out there and available including images like this used at conferences to clarify the difference between MMA and other combat sports.

By potentially paying every competitor 1 dollar more than if they won ADCC to just compete? Winner takes home a mil? If it's a success it sets the standard in the future for grapplers to actually get paid well for competing in big events. There is an element of trolling and I am sure he would...

That's the crazy part. They got the women's champ and arguable best No gi grappler. I think we see a few others jump across as more do. You would be silly not to if you have already medalled at ADCC or won it.

It's not contradictory at all. The end result is the person who is doing something that contributes to the fight ending is the one winning that exchange regardless of position. Outstrike them on the feet or out grappling them, but also threatening subs or using ground and pound, it doesn't...

This is incorrect. Control is meant to score lower than everything else. It's only used if all else is equal. Effective grappling is the criteria they should be using and effective means fight ending moments or damage must occur, otherwise it's control. If you take someone down, pin them and...

That stoppage was crap. Haha that ref is the one who does all the dodgy decisions in ABu Dhabi for the locals.

Diuretics are used to flush the actual molecule out of the system for testing or to dilute it. DHEA is used as an explanation for fluctuating hormones between tests. Or at least that's my understanding when this came up for Machida.

https://bjsm.bmj.com/content/anabolic-androgenic-steroids-stimulate-dhea-same-mechanism-testosterone https://www.usada.org/spirit-of-sport/athletes-know-about-dhea/ It's banned because it can be used to mask the use of Testosterone. Weirdly fluctuating levels of T and hormone profiles? "Oh...
