    Paddy vs Tony's Last 6 Foes

    Current Tony would be 4-14 against the same opponents since his win streak started. Tony was a wild man that willingly went to hell to get those wins. In his last fight, he actually knocked Bobby down but shelled up once he started getting touched. Beneil took him down and he shelled up...

    News *** Francis Ngannou Free Agency/Contract/Decision Making Discussion MEGA THREAD ***

    Francis also isn’t going to make millions as a fry cook at McDonald’s. It’s completely irrelevant that BKFC can’t afford him.

    Conor didn't really bite the apple. They used CGI !

    I was certain he’d beat Chandler until I saw him not bite the apple.

    How would Tony vs Nate have gone in 2015-2016?

    The fight was close in 2022 and Tony was fighting at 170 for the first time in years on a fight that was signed 3 weeks earlier coming off a brutal KO. 2022’s Nate is actually better than 2016’s; Nate’s fundamentals have only improved and he was never quick or athletic, he’s aging and has...

    WW Div is so 'good' that 37 yr Nate could be Champ (or 41yo GSP)

    Shonie Carter has a better argument for potentially becoming champ during the GSP era.

    Media Jones doesn’t believe Khabib deserves P4P #1

    Jones has not had a terrific past few years and deserves to slip a bit in the world of imaginary fights, happening in the present, across weight classes. Jones is very arguably the GOAT due to all the wins and how he looked at his best, but he's also been looking past his prime for a few fights...

    What would have happened if Jorge never connected with the knee?

    Askren's cardio didn't look too good in his next fight (not to mention the bad gameplan). Askren a few years earlier... no knee and maybe he can ground Jorge and really stifle him? The Askren of that moment? It's likely that Ben's hip issues were also causing his conditioning to suffer...

    So a Guy Who Never Lost (USMAN) is now Gonna Lose to a Journeyman (masvidal)

    I favor Usman but it isn't like Askren didn't have the better numerical record. Till's wasn't far off either. Short notice also makes this one a bit odd, Usman was definitely training for a stand-up fight and now his best gameplan is to drag Jorge groundwards.

    Did it surprise you that an out-fighter like Fury was able to stalk and beat down a puncher?

    The gameplan working against Wilder was far less surprising than that it was Fury doing it. He hasn't used that kind of strategy in high level competition that I've seen. Wilder would be categorized more as a sniper than as a puncher; timing entries against the right hand always seemed like it...

    It would follow that exact same protocol, especially for Bernie; they'll smear lightly until there's no other option. I'm finding it difficult to see a real path for him now, as he won't shift or pander and is constrained in the format by other candidates copying the most digestible portions of...

    I'm on Buttigieg +1200 to win the presidency now as well, for odds, it's hard to imagine that getting much better. If he's capable of actually winning the nomination, which I still doubt, he'd be too well positioned to beat Trump. And agree that Harris is quite inflated now, if Not Harris pops...

    Cerrone vs Ferguson on the ground

    Reminiscent of Mir/Nog stylistically. Cerrone's ground game looks cleaner and more technical to me, but Tony's totally relentless and can finish anyone if he gets himself into position. Whoever winds up on top, will probably have hurt the other and be at a significant advantage. Between the...

    Rewatched Jones vs Smith

    Blachowicz was beating Santos with a defensive, counterstriking gameplan and was only stopped when he made a bad tactical error and went fully offensive. Santos's flaws are going to be pretty easy for Jones and his team to exploit and he has trouble with defense-focused fighters even when...

    I would bet Sanders if he were +700 too, although I favor Harris just slightly. Last time around, I did much better betting primaries than the straight candidates. I should probably stay away from this thread for another year.

    You could be right about Buttigieg but I just see him as too much of a blank, and am expecting the mirror to shatter. Agree with all considerations about Harris but think being in all those lanes at once might not be a bad thing in a year's time. Actually feel her relationship with Brown...

    I just bet Harris at +700. Don't think I could lay below +400 on anyone yet but she's my favorite to win in this field at the moment too. I'd gladly take -300 against Buttigieg.
