1st AD posted:GSP was terrified of losing to BJ the first time they fought (probably due to the damage he took), and probably still terrified in their rematch which is why he just kept shooting doubles when Greg Jackson was telling him to kickbox with him. Yeah so instead of listening to Greg Jackson and getting hit he dominated bj to the point that bj got disqualified for crying too much

EmmyOk posted:Man Ferguson/Barboza was insanely sick I wish it had lasted longer so much drama packed into about 8 minutes of insanely high level fighting. even robbie / rory took a round to rev up. barboza / fergusson threw that poo poo right out the window and got down to business. i genuinely love it.

Not only is individualism at the forefront of the sport and the genre, but both encompass a unique aesthetic that blends gritty toughness with technical artistry; the word “art” is one-third of MMA, and if we are being honest, rap at its best is everything poetry wishes to be. It is only right then to anoint the greatest MMA fighters in each division by comparing them to the rap albums that best encapsulate their fighting styles, personalities and careers. hahahaha wow

It's hard to say what the best five fights are. Are they all pride era fights or are those all retroactively bad now. Is hunt / Bigfoot one of the top ones even though it didn't matter in a historic sense really. What about Diaz / Lawler, that was an extremely good fight but it was b league. I like Jones / Shogun a lot because it was such an rear end kicking and coronation for Jones, but it wasn't really a competitive fight. I guess if you really made me put my back to the wall and do a top 5 list it would look like this Anderson Silva V Demian Maia five times

FrontRowBrian tweeted about a rumor he's heard involving Nick Diaz and Chael Sonnen fighting at 185 later this year. I usually wouldn't look too much into a FRB rumor, but he's Chael's boy.

manyak posted:He was but he was also being a big pain in the rear end about drug testing and other problem with the UFC and there were rumors he would retire after the fight which he did. So they wouldve had some reason to bury him a bit. I dont think they were conspiring against him though The UFC also literally stole the belt from GSP while he was taking a shower. Dana was actively trying to make it harder for GSP to get Hendricks drug tested, Dana said "I think it makes them both look stupid. These guys are going to get tested by the athletic commission"

In 2006, I had a bunch of buddies over to watch Chuck fight Babalu for the second time and we were all talking about how Chuck was gonna murder him and then Babalu was like chasing him down and very briefly we all got very worried and then BAM Chuck uppercutted the poo poo out of him and we all laughed probably as hard as I've ever laughed in my lifetime and I'll never forget it e: we are old as poo poo
