Some of these fighters I think earned more than listed, others probably less. The UFC is shady and intentionally hides numbers. I don't doubt Conor and GSP have made a lot more than this.

Clay Collard is literally a can and Primus is 40. Is it confirmed Parnasse is signed to PFLellator? And if so, I hope he's at 145 and not 155. It's disappointing for a few reasons, man. When guys sign to ONE it sucks, they never get fights and the MMA roster is so embarrassingly shallow...yet...

You tried your best.

This is amazing.

He's not pillowfisted but only an idiot would use the Korean Zombie fight as an example to prove that. Or, more likely, an uneducated person who looked at his record but never saw the fight. But you're arguing points that weren't made when you addressed me, then you're telling me you aren't...

Did I say that he was? You got banana for brains or something?

Didn't Zombie badly dislocate his shoulder and Aldo kicked it a bunch of times before TKOing him in the 4th? I feel like that hardly counts.

Islam's resume is for sure thinner as of now, but not by a lot. Oliveira is a better win than any of Khabibs. Beyond that, Volk I'd hold as a better win than Poirier, Gaethje or fellow FWs like coked up Conor and journeyman Barboza...mentioning Barboza is wild, to me, he's not a great win...

He also retired due to brain complications, had surgery, came back and was never the same. Yikes.

Making his debut in the worst MMA promotion in the world. He shoulda went to ACA and shown us how BJJ works.

It's funny, Islam's camp basically forbids their fighters from taking short notice fights and has incredibly long camps with tons of preparation time. They're super inactive, Islam included too. Yet they shit talk when a young, improving fighter like Arman doesn't want to take a title shot on...

Who's the number 1 contender? Arman? He will fight him after Poirier. The dude also beat Oliveira who was the defacto best to win the title, meanwhile Khabib won the belt vs Al I'Aquinta.

The ultimate diss is, Stricklands hair is so thick and Costas is thin weird looking cotton candy, yet Sean shaves his shit while Costa gets transplants.

I've noticed Islam's striking improve more since their fight than I have Arman's, cardio wise I think Islam is still the better man. Their wrestling could very likely nullify each other's like in their first bout, but I do feel like Islam is more potent from top also. That said, if Armans cardio...

Let's ask Dana to name it.

To me athletic primes and technical/knowledge primes have an optimal overlap where you find a fighters absolute prime. If we are just talking athletic ability, then yeah, 22-30 tends to be the range with peaking being around 25-26. Wear and tear is super real too. I don't agree on the Aldo...

Topuria would fucking smash Loughnane or Braga, get the fuck out of here. Khizriev could make it competitive, we haven't really seen his ceiling yet honestly. Patricio is pretty washed, Pico is pretty flawed. PFellator is has a decent 145 division, especially if they can sign Salahdine Parnasse...

I think for GSP, huge aspect was he had two knee surgeries. Tore his ACL in 2011 and 2014, not sure if it was the same knee or not. He also had a meniscus tear around 2010, if I'm not mistaken. Aldo both aged poorly and got exposed/broken. Typically insane athletes with super fast twitch...

He can't wait for a title shot. He's gotta get another major fight, be it Aljo or Ortega, realistically. I agree with him beating Aljo though, I think he will be little stronger in the clinch, throw at a higher clip and I just feel his pressure will leave Aljo a bit uncomfortable. I think it'll...

32 is the end of fighters primes in MMA by all meaningful statistics. If you look at athletic primes and studies done, it tends to END between 28-30. So guys peak mid 20s athletically, usually. Tons of guys became champ in boxing, MMA, in their mid 20s, super common. If you look at medalists in...
