1st AD posted:Yes, but KK is not as good as Joanna and Randa is not as good as Esparza. So I think Randa will get takedowns and maintain top position for a bit, and I think Karolina will light her up a bunch and defend a few takedowns. I don't think either will finish the other, but I think Karolina wins it despite looking vulnerable in spots. I don't see the similarity. Esparza is a midget with a bad double and no plan B. Randa has a solid ground game and some weird submissions. She also seems to know what a punch is.

Esparza has a better double than Randa. Carla's top game is about as good as Randa's from what I can, but they don't have a ton of common opponents for me to say for sure. I could be full of poo poo here. Also Randa's punching is just as bad as Carla's. Defense is equally as bad.

I could be full of poo poo here. Honestly, they've got different enough games that I thought it was really strange to directly compare them. Carla's more like pre-knockout Chad Mendes without the athleticism or sultry sex appeal. She has a double and absolutely nothing else.

It's been a while since we had a reminder, but Robbie Lawler is the UFC Welterweight champion.

Cuckoo posted:Haha that's awesome. What's it typically cost? I think it was around $170 a ticket. Our seats were in the first couple of rows of the first elevated section above the floor seats. That meant we were just above the cage looking in at most of the action. It had a much better view than the floor seats right in front of it. I got a picture with Cleatus the fox sports robot and if I hadn't been stupid drunk all night we could have went and partied with Khabib's crew because every russian in that place gravitated towards our war hats.

It was cool to see RDA thoroughly outgrappled. Then when he did his typical 3rd round gas out Khabib really started beating the poo poo out of him on the ground.

I can't tell what is real or fake drama in MMA anymore. On TAM's podcast Faber talked poo poo about TJ, TJ's new team, TJ's manager, etc. He said that TJ often hurt other training partners, his manager tried to recruit other TAM members to team Elevation. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jtYCjoldkys e: don't know how to set up the time t=1h20m20s

Seltzer posted:lol they start the podcast with shirts on and they're off by the end. I wouldn't have a Team Alpha Male podcast any other way. I'm not done listening but Faber basically says that TJ got paid peanuts to go train over at Team Elevation. Or as he put it, "if you mowed lawns for a whole summer you would get the same amount of money." This whole thing seems weird to me.
