    Ronda must be salty about how the Holm/Harrison fight went

    Why would she be salty? Father Time is undefeated. The same Randy Couture who TKO’d Vitor Belfort got his head dribbled like a basketball by Brock Lesnar a decade later. Was Vitor salty? Kayla looks formidable, but she’s not unbeatable…hell, she’s fought Pacheco for 65 minutes and neither...

    Antônio Rodrigo Nogueira or Daniel Cormier - Who do you rank higher in the GOAT rankings?

    That's the best you've got? If you disagree with an opinion, refute it. Different eras? The dudes were in the UFC at the same time. So, tell me...why is/was Big Nog the greater fighter? Big Nog was 5-6 as a professional when fighting in an organization that actually had some semblance of...

    Media Bisping & Smith say Chris Weidman should fight Sean Strickland next

    Look, I like Weidman just fine, but the dude is 3-7 in his last 10 fight including his latest "win". 6 of the 7 losses were (T)KOs . The Bruno Silva fight was to find out if anything was left in Weidman's tank, as Silva was on a 1-4 slide prior. Weidman's win before that was to a guy who...

    Antônio Rodrigo Nogueira or Daniel Cormier - Who do you rank higher in the GOAT rankings?

    I know MMAth is bad... But look at common opponents where either Cormier or Big Nog suffered a loss... Roy Nelson. Big Nog Loss by KO. Cormier Win by Decision. (Fights occurred six months apart) Frank Mir. Big Nog Loss by tech submission and TKO. Cormer win by decision. Josh Barnett...

    Dana White insists UFC 300 is going to be so insane that fans will lose their minds over the first prelim

    Most people here weren't around 15+ years ago to remember attempt #1.

    Dana White insists UFC 300 is going to be so insane that fans will lose their minds over the first prelim

    and the Conor era didn't feel as big as the Liddell era when Chuck was (T)KO'ing everyone in his path. The A. Silva / GSP timeframe was an amazing time to be a fan, the P4P discussions and the genuine belief that the two best in the world at any weight class might actually fight. When a fan...

    Wanderlei Silva and CroCops lack of success in the UFC?

    A few thoughts: 1. The mileage. 2. What they had to start putting into a cup. 3. They weren't brought in to win, they were brought in for violence.

    Can we Finally Cut Anthony Smith?

    I'm an Anthony Smith fan, but sometimes it's hard to watch...and what makes it hard is that when he wins, he's winning very dominantly, and when he loses he just looks out of his league. Prior to his current 1-3 skid, he had 3 finishes in a row with none of the fights seeing a second...

    News UFC tittle challenger Yushin Okami doesnt give up and is set to debut in Shooto

    I guess it depends on how a person defines "young person". The early 30s seem to be the point where skill and experience crossover for the greatest level of success in MMA, but in the UFC history, I do believe that Randy Couture is the only fighter over the age of 40 to win a belt. Being...

    News UFC tittle challenger Yushin Okami doesnt give up and is set to debut in Shooto

    I think this is a winnable fight for Okami, but I don't know that I have any interest in watching his fights that are winnable or not winnable at this point. He had a great run, he's had a great career, but fighting is a young person's game and he isn't going to go on some amazing run in his...

    What fights are good examples of unathletic fighters beating athletic fighters???

    My favorite part of this is that after he throws that horrific "punch" and Gall shoots, he looks down like "uh, where's he going?"

    Paddy vs Tony's Last 6 Foes

    As much as I'd love to see Tony win, and his losses were to better competition than Paddy has faced...Tony hasn't won in four years. He's been stopped repeatedly. He's lost six in a row. Even Sam Alvey didn't lose that many in a row (he had a draw thrown in there). To the best of my...

    What fights are good examples of unathletic fighters beating athletic fighters???

    I'm just trying to figure out how we determine athleticism in here... It seems that most people are using "defined physique" as the benchmark for athleticism. We've seen bodybuilders and so called "A-level Athletes" get squashed. We've seen dudes with beer bellies go on winning streaks...

    a split draw ?

    you forgot the ultra-rare unanimous draw, where all three judges score it that way. There have only been four in the UFC that I am aware of, and of those, only one happened without a point deduction.

    Gane is going to tear Spivac a new one

    Gane ain't a top 3 HW. His wins are against washed up dudes and flat footed power punchers. Spivak by sub.

    If Strickland beats Izzy, does that become the greatest upset in UFC history?

    Nah, not even close. People's dislike for Strickland makes them underappreciate the skills that he possesses.

    Fights where a losing fighter needed a sub and found it?

    Man, I had almost forgotten about that one. I remember Huerta getting the Sports Illustrated cover and having that fight and thinking that he might have the grit to become a champ....and then his career spiraled bad after that moment.

    Ronda beat fighters who beat Holm and Nunes. That matters.

    Ronda was a great competitor with a limited skillset, became a champion, made a lot of money on the ups, and she walked away from the sport when she realized the toll that the downs were having on her mental health. Good for her. I'd rather have a fighter walk away while they are still strong...
