No. He did better than supposed. But, the embarrassing thing in MMA are new trends that hurt the fighters. Most can't fight both stances. O'Malley and some others can. Ngannou can't, yet the ones who can't have to do it just because. Can get away with it in MMA, but annoying to see it being...
He did way better than most expected. While Hearn and Dana agree that boxers are overpaid, get more than what they generate, the distribution of money is still right there. Otherwise it makes non-fighters rich.
I could be wrong, but I understood Conor wasn't in the testing pool after the injury. The argument of health by taking whatever is needed vs using the injury as an excuse to also enhance himself in the process. The same rules apply to everyone when they're injured or not. He should always be in...
If you take pics with both fighters it's not favoritism. I don't mind being a fan as well. It's just that you shouldn't show favoritism because you will interview the other guy who's pic wasn't taken and he can get mad about it. Which ruins the professionalism part. The fighter thinks you don't...
I'd hope he fights Adesanya again, as they're 1-1 in MMA, and this is MMA, not kickboxing. The record here counts.
But, he's huge for 185. After that move up.
He's a fantastic offensive weapon and in a slow fight has good defense, because he can concentrate on what he knows. And I've...
I don't like it when Stipe sits out years and gets the shot via past merits. No way to gauge where he's at. With Pavlovich gauging is easy. He's a beast. And on the up, young. Rather him.
If you have a professional fight you're a pro. So, the tag.
But there's been some discussion about the validity of it. Anyone can go pro. You can have zero talent and get a license to compete. Sign a contract in a small org. Maybe need the money. Go in there and lose, but get paid. Or just try...
They should do Izzy 3. In MMA. The kickboxing records aren't that important here. Do the trilogy. Understandably Izzy doesn't want it. Huge threat. He can style on others, including Hill.
If it stays on the feet Pereira is much better than Hill. He can still lose, Hill has great power. But I...
I would've liked to see him back healty again. Last fight anticlimactic due to injury. But, age kills all athletes. And he had a HOF career. Can't win 'em all. He was a true competitor. Willing to do anything, even cheat, to win. But a honest competitor doesn't take PED's to win. But it's his...
I think in a sport that's head-to-head, mental, performance, the roids aren't the decider. Every roid bust loses. Jones has basically dropped 1 decision his whole career.
But this topic puts DC in a tough place. He's the rival, but also a analyst. And in the conversation himself. It's easier...
It's not the responsibility of fans. Fighters should stick together to make it better. Not to say it's nice they get 15%. But it's their job, so try to make things better.
Islam/Volk - 5, not much. Volk can survive to prolong the fight, but Islam dominates.
Bones/Gane - 9. To see JJ at HW and how they match up.
Izzy/Pereira - 8. First fight had hesitancy from both. I think Alex can do more, if the hands go.
Usman/Leon - 7. As I think Usman clearly wins next time.
I think it's an even fight, so slight here or there is fair. On points Izzy is the favorite, but just slightly because Alex can do more damage. But, it's 5 rounds, and he won't hurt Izzy constantly, so Izzy can rack up points. Izzy can stop Alex, but Alex is more likely to stop him.
I give...
Getting Jones to fight for the HW belt compensates Ngannou leaving. And if he really wants to box it jams up the division. So it's not that big of a loss. This way both the UFC and Ngannou profit.
But the "highest paid HW" point isn't the strongest. Money in boxing can be different. I'm just...
