    Watching Pride: Final Conflict 2005 makes me realize how far MMA has evolved

    This. CroCop and Chuck basically invented sprawl and brawl.

    Conor and the Dolly

    NGL it was fun every Conor fight was endless threads on how he was gonna get exposed and then he wins spectaculary and his opponents magically became bums. My favorite was Alverez. On sherdog he was this gritty veteran with solid striking and the wrestling to grind Conor out with ease. Alverez...

    Media Conor McGregor drops sparring partner with slick 1-2; looks better than ever… fast, strong and precise.

    First clip the left, lead uppercut, left combo was slick. He used to use that combo quite often and it's cool to see him go back to it. Plus it looks like he's leaning towards his old stance more then the boxing centric one he adopted ofter the Floyd fight. Hands look pretty quick considering...

    Bobby green ko'd twice thanks to incompetent ref

    Even years later that counter elbow is one of the cleanest. It was hard to tell wtf happened watching it live.

    All y'all kept advocating for a Holly Holm title shot but not for Miesha?

    No respect for a wmma OG. Meisha out there fighting in Bodog Tournament and Strikeforce since the mid 2000s. Was never a huge fan but man let her get whatever she wants, still pulling wins in 2023. She's got more time in the cage then most male UFC fighters at this point.

    Media UFC ownership paid themselves $1.16 billion in dividends between 2005 and 2014; all UFC fighters made $250 million during this time period

    This. Unionization is the reason we have the labor laws we have today. One union in an industry can help the entire industry (semi-localized) as private companies have to compete with union jobs for labor in the same field. It raises the bar across the board. Unions ain't perfect, but go look...

    Miesha is such a hard sell. 1 win in 7.5 years.

    Can't really shit talk Tate. She's been fighting since the Bodog Tournament days. She's a wmma pioneer and it's crazy to see her even get a win considering her mileage and age. Plenty of WMMA fighters started a decade after her and have already washed out of the UFC.

    “Floyd carried Conor”

    I think Conor went into that delusional that he could actually beat Mayweather in a full boxing match. So to offset his suspect cardio he wasn't throwing bombs. That boxing match was the height of Conor stardom and ego. To be fair in the UFC it was never really his raw power that finished guys...

    News Khabibs previous contract details got leaked; 21k/21k, 24k/24k, 27k/27k, 30k/30k

    This shit is why I feel like Ali is in bed with the UFC. With a roster so large there is no way there isn't some sort of collusion with the UFC brass. I'd be very interested to see the contracts for all fighters under Ali for the last decade.

    Media *** Tyson Fury vs. Francis Ngannou Post Fight Discussion MEGATHREAD ***

    Idk why so many people wrote him off prior. His UFC debut against Henrique was probably the best example of just how clean Ngannou can actually box. That finishing combo against Henrique, ending with that lead uppercut was probably some of the cleanest HW combos we've ever seen. He 100% fell in...

    News Jon Jones INJURED, Aspinall vs Pavlovich - interim title; Jiri/Pereira now the main event

    Wow Jon really ripped his own titty off via a failed takedown.

    Man, this win is suuch BS

    In all reality this was more because Volk is a manlet then anything else. He had a solid guard up, but since Islam's hips are basically at Volk's chest level the kick easily glided over the guard with full power intact. A 5'11 Volk wouldn't be in this situation.

    Theory on Khamzat

    This. Taking down Usman is no joke. The guy had the highest TDD defense in the sport prior to this fight. Getting Usman down 4 times in 3 rounds isnt exactly light work. Khaz needs to stick to 3 rounders lol.

    Full Camp Usman Beats Khamzat.

    Yep cause his lifetime of grappling skills and knowledge go out the window with a short notice fight...... Full camp Usman.....with 5 rounds, yes I agree he'd probably win. I don't think the 3 round fight would go much different with a full camp Usman. Fresh Usman got straight out maneuvered...

    Full Camp Usman Beats Khamzat.

    Usman has great sub defense and we've never even seen him in a real position to eat GNP or get subbed lol. Usman hasn't been subbed since his 2nd pro fight like 11 years ago. Khaz did get a solid sub attempt in, but Usman spiked him into the floor. I swear it's like people forget how good...

    Chimaev very sus stand up boxing

    Losing hype lol. Usman is legit one of the best wrestlers in the sport and had like one takedown against him in his career and had the highest TDD in the entire sport. Khaz comes in and takes him down at will and controls him for the entire first and gets 4 takedowns over the fight. If a casual...

    Usman piecing him up on the feet

    Do you know what lay and pray is? He took down Usman, got on the back, and attempted multiple chokes. Usman just had really good sub defense and the moment that Khaz actually had a close choke he got his head spiked into the mat. Lay and pray is shit like sitting in guard for most of the round...

    Full Camp Usman Beats Khamzat.

    This bro these people are blind and act like Usman showed up out of shape from a nursing home. Usman got outplayed in the wrestling and grappling HARD in the first. Went from like 1 takedown in his whole career to 4 in one night.

    PBP UFC 294 - Makhachev vs. Volkanovski 2 Main Card PBP Discussion: Sat 10/21 at 2PM ET / 11AM PT

    Even then, on just a technical level he got outplayed bad in the wrestling. Usman had some of the highest TDD in the sport prior to this fight. Went from like one takedown in his career to 4 in one night.

    PBP UFC 294 - Makhachev vs. Volkanovski 2 Main Card PBP Discussion: Sat 10/21 at 2PM ET / 11AM PT

    Gotta admit that it's pretty impressive that Khazmat took fresh Usman down like it was nothing.
