There are a lot of factors. The angle at which the shin makes contact is one of them. On a conditioned shin, it's very hard to break it bone-on-bone if you strike with the shin straight on. But if you land more so with the side of the shin, you're more likely to get a leg break.

Their best fighters have boring personalities. And their most interesting personalities are mediocre fighters. Not a recipe for commercial success.

Glover vs. Jiri rematch for the real belt. Both Jan and Ankalaev are boring anyways. They can rematch for the number one contender spot but no interim belt.

Top 5 IQ of all time vs. Bottom 5 IQ (RIP) of all time. Hmmm, how do we think it goes. Rumble only has puncher's chance, wins 1 (maybe 2) out of 10 times.

Jiri and only because he's so wild that I can see him getting a finish 2 times out of 10.

Because casuals think any fighter whose last name ends with a "V" is a Khabib clone lol. Khabib is special as fuck. People need to stop thinking any fighter from the Caucausas can do what Khabib did.

He’d have CTE because he’d have a 20-10 record with most losses by TKO.

Why did you put your quotation marks in the wrong place like a tard?

This. The UFC and WWE are scummy as fuck. They flip-flop between treating their performers as employees or contractors, whichever one fits their needs at the time. “We don’t have to give you health benefits because you’re an independent contractor.” “Oh but you have to wear this to the cage...

Just whatever the fuck this is

The strategy of take 1 hit to land 2 shots can only last so long.

There's an equal chance he uses knees to the head of a grounded opponent, like Coleman put to good use. People say Pride rules are anti-wrestler, but it made someone like Coleman a killer in Pride. The only reason Pride was not wrestler heavy is because of their mostly Brazilian and Japanese...

Meh. As a prizefighter, and especially as a champion, Izzy has two responsibilities: 1) Promote the fight 2) Win the fight Talking shit accomplishes task number 1, regardless of how it actually plays out. And it doesn't matter if your talking makes people want to see you win, or want to see...

Sure there are some elite US collegiate wrestlers that can compete or even beat the best in the world. But a lot of All Americans are not even Top 50 in the world at their weight class. Yet being an All American is considered serious pedigree in MMA.

He fought high level strikers. He was just above them in his prime. Next thread, “Khabib never fought grapplers as good as Khabib”

Bro he fought a dude with no known weaknesses

I actually don’t think Jiri‘s wildness is lack of fight IQ. He’s comfortable fighting in chaos and his opponents are not.

What? There are a ton of high-level grapplers in the UFC. And even the non-grapplers train TDD and basic sub defence now.

BJ Penn was a Mundials champ, had arguably the best hands in MMA, and legendary TDD.

Travis Bagent is also a fun watch. As is Matt Mask. For those looking for a Fedor type instance killer on the table, look up Pushkar and Voevoda. Another freak was Oleg Zhokh before he got into a car accident (which claimed a Pushkar’s life).
