Like who? I'm talking "Just lemme bang bro" level of crazy where fight IQ and logic goes out the window and it's straight rock'em sock'em
I think the evolution of MMA has sort of weeded this breed out. It was fun while it lasted.
Even the craziest fighters now are very measured
What happened to the breed of crazy af fighters like Forest Griffin and Chris Leben?
I feel like the new wave is more calculated and reserved, not saying that it's a bad thing.
Was Tony and KZ the last of its kind?
Its clear that Colby isn't sniffing another title shot at WW for awhile. He would need to string together at least 3-4 wins at 170 to be in the conversation again.
This means that he will spend all of 2024 fighting top contenders to build up a case again. If he gets a shot, it will be in 2025...
You can say the same for Chael. His legacy are how close he was to beating Silva and Chael is probably gonna be a HOF'er.
He won the interim championship too
He's 35 and this was probably his last title shot.
To get another title shot, he has to string together at least 3-4 wins against top contenders. So he would have to spend all 2024 fighting which means he will be 37 if he wants to even sniff another title shot.
It's gonna be rough. Moving down...
Colby feels that he’s won rounds 3,4,5 tonight and he should have won the fight.
His 2 losses to Usman was because the ref called it early and the judges don’t like him due to his ties with Trump so they always give the decision to the other person.
This is Charlie Zelenoff levels of delusion...
Yeah, the fight doesn't stop at the bell. That's why I can understand why Jorge snuck him. When you talk about his ex-wife and kids, it's war forever and on-sight.
It don't matter if Jorge gets beat 100 times in a row, he will still find a way to hurt you. If he has to sucker punch you, jump...
I agree. Even Sonnen was a bit much with toeing the line when he was talking about Silva's wife and his country.
But you do not speak of relatives who have past. That was disguising and unforgivable
That being said, there are some lines you don't cross and although Usman was a bit more forgiving with the trash talk, there are some fighters that aren't as easy to forgive
Time to run it
Izzy was talking all that shit after he beat Alex in their last fight.
He wanted to be a Champ-Champ and failed against Jan.
Now, he has a fast-track title shot to recapture his goal. He got no excuses and was talking all that shit. Let's RUN IT!!!
It's crazy how one press conference can change a fighter's trajectory, when you combine that with wins, it's the formula for superstardom.
When you break down what he said during the press conference, it wasn't anything ground breaking and he wasn't really saying anything other than calling out...
Am I the only one that doesn't understand how Sean is so popular?
Is it because of the hair? The smoking? Playing video games?
How are so many people gravitating to this guy?
It the past, there's been fighters with crazy hair, smokes and plays video games but aren't even close to the level of...
