Actually, that reminds me why I only became a fan of Werdum this past weekend. He's been in a couple really terrible fights, and this was the one that really made me dislike him.

I never thought i'd ever like him again after that Overeem fight, but i guess becoming a better fighter helps sway the feels.

If you mean the Overeem rematch, Werdum didn't do all that bad all things considered. he tried to lure Overeem into his guard 20 times too many and should have abandoned that goofiness after the first round, but he was landing some good body shots/knees on Reem and made him the most winded man in history after the fight:

Arlovski would get knocked out less if he didn't run straight backwards with both arms out whenever someone pressures him while moving forward.

I've always believed that Arlovski has that same must-win-in-first-two-minutes gas tank as Vitor, but his tank empties self-confidence rather than cardio.

He's all over the early UFC highlight reels, he was terrifying in his prime.

His previous two fights were both really cool as well.

Edit: When I posted this I hadn't realized he fought between the Nelson and Nog fights. I was looking at his record and apparently he stopped Mike Russow in the 1st.

I sort of became a fan of his during that fight. The first round made me laugh more than any fight in MMA history. The Fedor triangle was one thing, but the way he charged in, threw wild strikes and then tried to pull guard was great. The rest of the fight not so much.

Bigfoot knocked him down and was fairly close to a finish in Round 1, but Werdum weathered it and took Rds 2 and 3 pretty convincingly. I remember it being a really good fight too.

Rogan's podcast is usually ok to good when MMA fighters/personalities are on, but the Schaub ep is unbearable and I bailed out early. I went into it thinking "he's a dingus but maybe he'll say some interesting/cool stuff and I'll change my tune a bit". Now I dislike him more than ever. That stupid voice too.

I watched that after Metamoris and it was indeed cool. I listen to basically every MMA episode and skip everything else. Someone had a good list of Rogan eps in one of these threads awhile back. They're hit or miss but Schaub was the worst MMA episode I can remember and I didn't even finish it.

Don't get confused by that appearance and look for previous Bravo guest spots because he probably believes every conspiracy theory known to mankind.

Eddie Bravo talking about jiu-jitsu is great, him talking about chemtrails is awful. Even Joe laughs at him over the conspiracies he believes in.




I did like when he was talking about DJing at a strip club way back in the day and playing White Snake song after White Snake song.

The only interesting part of the Schaub episode was that apparently during TUF 10 one of the contestants got super drunk and super racist and started spouting off white power/heil hitler type poo poo and they didn't show it. They don't say who it was but looking over the cast list my guess is it was Mike Wessel

Schaub interviews are great, because he honestly believes he's going to get a title shot any day now while objective reality completely disagrees. Abu-Schaubi being a good fighter is less believable than a fake moon landing.

I do this technique called a suplex. You probably haven't heard of it, it's pretty obscure.

Schaub also has his own podcast ("The Fighter and the The Kid"), and it's unbearable. He's a remarkably charmless man, but adding on his cohost makes it somethings special in terms of being unappealing. Bryan Callen has played a douche on every show he's ever been on and there's a reason for that.

I actually went into it thinking PSP makes Schaub seem like a dumbass but I really don't see much of him so I'll give it a whirl. Surely he isn't half the dingus he's made out to be. Christ almighty. Wrong. There were cool tidbits like the TUF chat but come on. 3 hours and I was interested for maybe 15 minutes total.

Callen and Rogan have good chemistry but I can't listen to Callens podcast either for this reason.

Wasnt he training exceptionally hard for ADCC which was coming up very soon at the time and at the time his primary focus so he was going out of his way to not throw punches in hopes of making sure he didnt break his hands?

I'm not entirely certain I buy this, and it's certainly the first I've heard of it, but the timeline does match up. Arlovski/Werdum was late April 2007, and Werdum competed in the 2007 ADCC in early may iirc

I 100% remember reading something about how his performance in that fight was impacted by the fact he wanted to do his absolute best at ADCC. Maybe it wasn't not throwing punches, maybe he is just Brazillian, but it was A Thing That Happened.
