He has a fight scheduled against Tyson Fury in case you weren't paying attention. Unless you actually expect him to have a needless MMA fight before he has the biggest, most lucrative fight of his career in a couple of months. Also hilarious how you compare him to Jones with regards to...

I feel as if this has been said about every new season for the about the past 5 years or so, and it's never been remotely true. First episode was ok. Second episode was horrible. How you can compare them to season 4-5 is beyond me.

Any time a wrestler gets KO'd by a striker, it's "luck".

What happened to this? Cancelled? Rescheduled?

The first fight was a clean loss. Not going to get into this tired argument again. Getting injured by a legal strike and not being able or not wanting to continue is a TKO. End of story. If you want to talk about definitive wins, Badr hasn't had a definitive win in about 5 or 6 years. That...

Badr is 36, is 0-2 against Rico, and has been KO'd in his last two fights, including one against an unknown fighter which he was expected to win with ease. Don't know how you can think Badr is in a position to inevitably dethrone Rico, much less do it soon.

You're basing this on the fact that a much better kickboxer than Overeem at this point gave Rico a tough fight (but still lost), and his chin hypothetically holding up (it probably wouldn't have).

Is the Armen Petrosyan who was just signed to the UFC Giorgio's brother, or someone else entirely?

Schilt wins in both

I literally said that in the part you removed... I don't think DJ will run the whole time during the MT rounds though. He will likely stay at distance but still engage Rodtang.

He doesn't need to be. It's Muay Thai, he can finish him a variety of ways. He could for example put DJ away via the 3 knockdown rule. He easily has the hands to put someone away with his punches, he's done it before, and unless I'm wrong, DJ is smaller than his usual opponents. The issue will...

Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't Muay Thai rise to international prominence in the first place by Muay Thai fighters beating TKD and Karate practitioners in Kickboxing? Under a ruleset where Muay Thai is disadvantaged and at a time when MT fighters would have had less experience dealing with...

Which is not FTR, which is what I was saying in the first place, not that they wouldn't have any form of MT. But I seriously doubt they would allow elbow strikes even with padding.

If that's the case, my point still stands. It demonstrates the level of violence the Olympics considers acceptable. No way they would allow FTR without any modifications if you can't even have KK. With regards to Olympic boxing, from what I've seen there is a lower threshold for getting a TKO/KO.

If the likes of Karate and TKD have to be watered down for Olympic participation, imagine what they would do to Muay Thai.

There is no one with a "chin" who can take Ngannou's power because getting KO'd at heavyweight is not about how good your "chin" is. Anyone can get knocked out at Heavyweight, especially against guys like Ngannou. In their second fight, Miocic demonstrated ridiculous durability, a prime example...

Reading through this thread, you can tell it was originally posted on the main board. Utterly moronic, clueless takes about MT. Spinning elbows and knee strikes aren't allowed? Wow.

Petrosyan's prime was from 2009ish when he won the K-1 GP and went on that impressive win streak until he lost to Ristie in 2013. Don't see how this is debatable. Being a 21-year old with limited experience in your first big fight is hardly one's "prime" as a fighter. He was still fairly green...

What was I saying?

Yeah I forget if it was at the end of round 1 or 2 (probably 1) but Rico swept Badr off his feet with a hard low kick right at the bell. Rico recovered well after the first knockdown, in between the knockdowns I would say he was having the better fight.
