Also difference between Conor and all the other guys in the middle of the pack is charisma.

It's going to be Diego Sanchez in Mexico. They're going for the slow burn.

P4P is a really hard discussion because it's almost impossible to back up your argument with facts but Barao probably could never be higher on that list than Cain, Jones, and Aldo.

Dangersim posted:I have trouble saying Glover did better then anyone else just because he has a good chin, he had nothing for JBJ. I'm not disputing that Glover didn't lose 50-45 to Jones, he got beat soundly, but to make it like he had no reason to be in there against Jones or that he hadn't earned his shot is nonsense. poo poo if you added up all the strikes Glover did land on Jones I bet it amounts to more than Shogun/Chael/Rampage combined.

Ty1990 posted:McGregor hasn't fought the best competition but he has destroyed all 3 fighters he's stepped into the cage with. If he was getting by on split decisions against this competition that's one thing, but he's done to those 3 fighters what *really* good fighters would have done also. DDP easily blew the doors off Brandão AND Max Holloway and he'd still get murdalized by the top wrestlers at featherweight.

Thauros posted:drat, sounds like I missed another good card. You really did dude Prelims : Watch everything with a finish + the Neil Seery fight (Basically skip the Tor Troeng fight) Main card: Main event good, co-main good, didn't care for the McCall/Pickett fight personally because I was expecting a more exciting fight but it got decent towards the end so maybe I'm just biased because of my expectations. Kotani/Parke is really, really one sided so I'd only catch it if you really wanna watch an asian being beaten half to death

Glad Conor took the win - overhyped or not he's really entertaining inside and outside of fights Also still laughing at the pringles jingle getting referenced as a fight motto in the post fight press conference

I wish high level kickboxers could make steady money and work for non-criminal organizations so they wouldn't have to get wrestled while looking for an MMA paycheck.

Just back from it and holy poo poo was that awesome, the results couldn't have gone any better for us. The atmosphere was unreal, especially when Conor came out! I'm going to be suffering tomorrow from cheering and yelling so much.

Tonight I ended up at Conor McGregor's after party, dragged there by a friend. Dumbest bullshit I was ever at, goddamn. All I could see was wall to wall slappers and nine out of ten dudes had bad backs. Sad and educational in the one go.

Fozzy The Bear posted:Can you translate that to english please? In the main event, there were two dudes. One of them was Irish, performing in front of an Irish crowd in Ireland. He won the bout which helped his after party immensely. A friend of mine persuaded me to it, despite my inclinations. He bullshitted his way in, sorta, and then we had an amazingly unfun time, surrounded by orange women in very little, operating under the delusional hope that UFC guy would gently caress them, repeatedly, into some sort of monetary positive. At the same time, most of the males I saw were weighted towards steroids and skipping leg day. Seriously, I have walked into offices full of computer nerds slaving away with better backs and posture. Admittedly, none of them were four foot wide with rounded shoulders that bad, tearing their backs to shreds. Personally, I felt ashamed I was there but learned a lot about how the human body can be distorted detrimentally. Hope that helps.
