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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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.
Fedor and Alex Emelianenko both fought Jeff Monson. Fedor won, Alex lost. They both also fought Cro Cop. Fedor won, Alex lost. Alex fought the law and the law won.
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 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...
