there has to be a way to vocalize the feeling you get when watching mma nerds get mad over people who i personally don't think exist...

but i'm not eloquent enough :(

No.

The greatest moment in my life was realizing that I didn't need a belt to be happy.

related: after this weekend of no UFC there's gonna be like 9 weeks straight of UFCs every Saturday. Pretty much every card owns. So basically from the rest of August to October there will always be some fight worth talking about coming up. It all begins with Conor vs Nate 2 before reaching a crescendo with Bisping vs Hendo 2.

I can't wait

I think this is the moment he's talking about, after Diaz has already rocked Conor once:

I think the 'too slow' comment is at 6:50

Diaz owns. My favorite part is the hands-out poo poo talk increases as he lands more clean punches.

202 is going to be like 189 where it owns because it's stacked with welterweights. story/cerrone and magny/larkin are both really good fights. plus hyun gyu lim and Tim means who are always fun.

Xenology is an unnatural mixture of science fiction and formal logic. At its core is a flawed assumption...

that an alien race would be psychologically human.

The thing about welter is it's so choked with talent that you can put together a record like Maia's and STILL not be a shoe-in. Thompson would still have a good argument over him even with a Condit win.

I want to watch Maia aggressively bother Woodley for about 6-7 minutes before putting him in a very painful choke.

It's really hard to see anyone but Wonderboy being a shoe-in for the next title shot. He beat Hendricks so badly and he picked apart Rory. The only person Maia's beaten on that level recently is Matt Brown and Brown's a huge wildcard.

Wonderboy should absolutely get the next shot, but Maia/Condit should get to fight him after he beats Woodley.

This is of course discounting any GSP shenanigans or Robbie destroying like three people in three months or something.

I no longer like the Welters because Robbie losing his belt in a couple of minutes to a single huge bomb instead of a 25 minute war is like having an elite gladiator dying after eating a rotten banana in the changing room.

man if he wanted to keep the title so badly then he probably should have dodged the punch

Coach John Kavanagh: There will be 'no excuses' if Conor McGregor can't beat Nate Diaz at UFC 202

Coach John Kavanagh, August 21st: We're not making excuses, but Conor caught dengue fever from the Irish Olympic Rowing team and had two undiagnosed hamstring injuries and also his girlfriend isn't loving him correctly

I actually am very curious to see what all these new techniques and adjustments are, and whether or not Conor sticks to them or if they fly out the window when he starts eating jabs and sees Nate waving a middle finger at him from across the cage.

edit: Also I wonder what they are really saying behind closed gym doors. The way Conor and Kavanagh talk about this fight in public it's like they believe that Nate didn't land anything until that one two that rocked Conor and they won't be dealing with a significantly better version of Nate than the one that showed up at 196.

edit 2: Speaking of a better version of Nate, UFC put up Nate vs MJ on their Brazilian YouTube channel:
