It's two Gods of MMA, Kevin Randelman and Mark Coleman, demonstrating immortal techniques.

I still love how Mark works his way into half guard, that's some slick poo poo.

Both men are highly lauded collegiate wrestlers.due to being old and beat up and having abused steroids for decades, they are demonstrating extremely garbage wrestling sparring.

What are some funny/notable stories of fighters missing weight? I just read about Shark Fights 17, where Karl Knothe missed weight by 24 pounds as nobody told him his fight with Ricco Rodriguez was signed at a 230 catchweight instead of the 265 he trained for. He was disqualified. Is there a better story out there?

What was that one fight where he came in at 176? Wanna say it was the Brenneman fight.

It's real funny to think that the #3 light heavyweight murdered a middling lightweight fighter.

He described himself as a cook, personal trainer, and on the show used some really old school ways to cut weight for some of the fighters. In fact he had his own method for cutting weight on his TUF blog. quote:"The Polley Plunge" Part 1 So Lew Polley was meant to fight at World Series of Fighting 4 against Hans Stringer in a light heavyweight bout. Mr Lew Polley, weight cutting wrestling coach, personal chef, and trainer missed weight. ... By 32 pounds. He weighed in at 237 for a LHW fight. Most recently Polley lost a split decision to Darrill "Titties" Schoonover.

Wow, if it had been anything smaller than Light Heavyweight, he would have been two weight classes up. That's crazy.

The best was when he moved from 170 to 185 and still missed weight because he got down to like 191 and then couldn't feel his legs And then he gassed in like 45 seconds and got thoroughly grappled by vitor belfort

Speaking of weight cuts, I saw a comparison photo in the UFC thread of Conor at 145 (literally a Draugr from Skyrim) and 170 (athletic human). How did he make that cut multiple times and not die?

Tbh I think he looks better (in the cage) at 145 then he did in the last fight. 145 he's long and lean, he was a lot bulkier at 170.

TUF 4 was The Comeback season and they invited a bunch of veterans who been not doing well lately to come on the show and get free food and housing for several weeks and just focus on training and becoming better fighters and get back into the UFC. Most of them took this opportunity very seriously because this was their career already (there wasn't a ton of drama in house that I remember) and the two winners of the season would INSTANTLY get a title shot in their respective weight classes. Travis Lutter won for the Middleweight division and got a title shot against Anderson Silva, who had already crushed Chris Leben and Rich Franklin, and looked scary as gently caress. At the first weigh in, Lutter came in at 187, two pounds over weight for a title fight. 2 hours later on his second attempt, he weighed in at 186.5 so the fight became a non-title fight after all. Lutter did okay in the fight for a little bit and even had Anderson Silva mounted at one point before losing. I think it's pretty conceivable in retrospect that if he hadn't had such a bad time cutting weight, he had a real chance at winning and becoming a UFC champion. He lost his next fight to Rich Franklin too and became the first TUF winner to ever be cut from the UFC. He went 1-1 outside of the UFC before retiring.

This question is based upon my observation and because I don't watch hours and hours of MMA I may be completely wrong, but: What happened to the triangle from the bottom? Are people just clued in enough that they don't let that happen any more? If my premise is wrong and it is "it was never used much, you're missremembering" I apologise.

Lutter mounted him and landed like 2 punches and then got baited into the worst armbar ever to lose mount, and then got triangled. People always talk about the weight cut but I don't know how much it really effected it. It's not like anderson hadn't been super dangerous from his back in other fights. Edit: Oh yeah and anderson had just had surgery on both his knees before the fight

LordPants posted:This question is based upon my observation and because I don't watch hours and hours of MMA I may be completely wrong, but: Fights look a lot different now. Guys used to be stuck on their back more, and guys would sit in guard more. Also cardio was worse so guys would get tired faster. More tiredness and more time in guard, basically , probably could explain some of it

Submitting Chael Sonnen does not mean your guard is dangerous. Especially when it wasn't in the first two rounds like everyone else was able to do.

Dangersim posted:Well I do? I don't know what you want me to say, but I really disagree Well, you said "It's not like anderson hadn't been super dangerous from his back in other fights." so maybe you could name a couple of those fights because I certainly don't remember any. He triangled a dying Travis Lutter and a Chael who'd punched himself out, and I don't consider either of those particularly impressive from a "dangerous guard" sense (The Chael fight was impressive in a toughness and mental resilience sense, of course). In no other fight that I recall has he done anything even remotely offensive from his back aside from cheating.

Funny thing about Southworth is that every time I've seen his fight with Stephan Bonnar I always have it for Southworth. Also Jason Guida as a person will never not be a giant joke and I think that's just fantastic.

Entirely off topic but randomly catching an episode of first season tuf long before getting into mma, and seeing bobby's first weight cut with chuck and josh actualloy really got me interested in the training of maa and mma as a sport. Seeing a man being physically sweated and worked out and dragged into a sauna and locked in just to lose a few pounds was really fascinating to watch. too bad Southworth was utter trash.

Watching the Twenty/20 for Rockhold vs Weidman and the trivia pops up that triangle chokes succeed 24% of the time in the ufc, so there's that. Edit - I wasn't sold on this twenty/20 thing, but when they replay weidman attempting the spinning kick a box pops up with "weidman joins Chael Sonnen in the hall of ill-fated spinning techniques in championship fights" while playing a clip of chael wiffing his spinning back fist and andy kneeing him.
