    Why are we pretending Gaethje is a bigger win than Volk?

    Max went up in weight, outclassed Justin (Who was ranked the number one contender) for 5 rounds and knocked him out in the last 2 seconds of the fight when he decided to stand and trade with him. Is it as impressive as beating Volk? Depends on your parameters. Is fighting and beating the...

    Has Alex Surpassed Izzy's legacy?

    It's a difficult question but a really really interesting one IMO. Adesanya has 27 professional MMA bouts while Periera only has 12. 15 professional fights less than Israel Adesanya but accomplished more than Izzy except in title defenses. Alex was able to capture gold in his 8th ever...

    Alex was pressing ... the groin shot allowed Hill to breathe and to stop Alex's pressure rhythm

    No, the groin shot and good sportsmanship and competent refereeing paused the fight.

    Media Frank Mir looking healthy but rough

    No idea. Haven't really looked into CTE related things, but something I noticed too with people who have it. James Toney, Chuck Liddell, etc.. Might be coincidence, might be something unrelated like lifestyle, but interesting for sure.

    Media Frank Mir looking healthy but rough

    With the amount of damage Frank has taken throughout the years, he's not that bad. Growly voice like many others who have them, really not that bad considering everything.

    Is the tear drop bag better for stand-up striking?

    How's the give on it? I personally prefer my bag denser on the lower part and with a little more give on the upper parts.

    Is the tear drop bag better for stand-up striking?

    I'm pretty sure I asked you about the aqua bags way back when, I'm glad you're still enjoying it to this day. Had any problems with it lately? I might finally pull the trigger on it.

    Lead hook technique

    Before anything, there's a really great (and extensive) discussion about this. 17 threads/posts combined. Here! There's been tons of videos as well on exactly this topic. Covering which one is better, which one is easier on the body etc..etc.. For me personally, I've naturally thrown my hooks...

    Media Strickland doesn't think Navy Seals can last a week training with him; Navy Seal reacts

    And even then, to your point, those who can fight usually have undergone specific training. Tim Kennedy was/is an MMA fighter, Jocko trains in BJJ. Etc...etc. Tim would not have been as successful if he just had some cardio and relied on whatever training he had in the military and went straight...

    Renan Ferreira should be in the UFC

    If he wins against Ngannou, the UFC will most likely get him.

    Media Strickland doesn't think Navy Seals can last a week training with him; Navy Seal reacts

    I can't believe these arguments still exist. They're both trained to do completely different things in two completely different environments. You take them away from their respective fields and put them in the other's and they can't perform as well or as efficiently as they would in their...

    Rumored Report: Tyson Fury vs. Francis Ngannou Apparently 'Bombed' In Terms Of U.S. PPV Buys

    The rematch is gonna do amazing numbers though. I feel like part of that was the "Tyson is going toy with Ngannou" narrative.

    Clearing myths: Usman isn’t an elite win

    The only real solid argument to justify an argument over that win against Usman was the short notice. Having someone in the back of your head and preparing for a potential fight against that said someone is different to having a camp focused solely on a specific fighter. Being able to go through...

    “Only Cowards tap to Strikes.”

    You tap because you're in a position where you can no longer escape, and if you don't you receive unnecessary damage you can't avoid. You tap from submissions to avoid being chocked or having a limb break. You tap from strikes to avoid even more unnecessary, irreversible brain damage.
