WEC 53 itself was one long best MMA moment, it started off with like a then unknown Renan Barao catching somebody in a choke in a minute and then Eddie Wineland winning a fight by slamming a guy unconscious. It's quietly one of the best MMA cards ever

A lot of the latter WEC cards were really punching above their weight in terms of entertainment value.

they must be compensating the people headlining the fightpass prelims like no tomorrow. if i was cub or kawajiri fighting on the loving early prelims on a card the quality (on paper) of last week i'd be on a loudspeaker phone call with bellator in dana's office while signing the contract.

It's retarded that Browne is getting a shot a big name after being brutalised by Cain but it's loving awesome that Werdum is going to brutalise Browne.

Erik Koch is injured again and can't fight Drew Dober, again, so chalk another one up for those wacky guys over at Roufusport.

speaking of WEC the most overlooked good fight aside from Santiago/Misaki is Hominick/Jabouin from one of the late WEC cards. the fight is completely nuts, and it's one the same card where Wineland ratcheted up the best finish ever: straight right to the body tko.

I was going to ask if Browne was the one everyone enjoys seeing the poo poo beat out of but the next 15 posts confirmed it. I'm catching on to this stuff! This is the best thing ever.

Cody McKenzie helped with a lot of laughs: - the potato chip staredown - the wal-mart tag on his shorts - the "I guess I need to work on my guillotine defence" TUF moment He had a great guillotine but I'll always remember him as the not always intentionally funniest UFC fighter.

It's also the rematch of a funny beatdown. It was basically 15 minutes of this: I'm pretty sure there was also a part where Werdum pointed at the ground, Browne looked and then Werdum kicked him in the head. Edit: 25 minutes! I think this fight made Werdum a lot of fans. TastyAvocado fucked around with this message at 15:28 on Aug 12, 2016 |

You were right the first time, it was 15 minutes of the funny good stuff and then 10 minutes of hot garbage. That's why I was instantly upset about this rematch until I remembered this fight is only the comain so we won't have the dreaded fourth and fifth rounds to watch Browne ineffectually do nothing against gassed Werdum.

I'm probably forgetting one, but has Browne ever had a boring fight? The worst I can think of is the werdum one and even that was pretty good, just too long

I think his point is that if Browne's least exciting and entertaining fight was the Werdum fight, a fight that is by consensus entertaining and exciting, then by and large Browne's fights are consistently entertaining. I don't remember the Kongo fight being very good.

The Mitrione fight was ugly, it was most memorable for Mitrione's eye getting real nasty from being poked so many times. Everyone looked like poo poo at all times in it otherwise, and it was the worst g&p I can recall in a while.

All I can remember about it is Browne cheating like a motherfucker and then acting like a poo poo at the press conference.

Guys, Browne has a real chance. He now has much more experience beating high level grapplers. I mean he and Ronda have been dating for like a year now right?

Man Browne is a real piece of poo poo considering he's been accused of domestic violence! Anywhere here's my hot take on him hitting another woman

Werdum absolutely coasted the last 2 rounds but it wasnt that bad

vainman posted:I'm probably forgetting one, but has Browne ever had a boring fight? The worst I can think of is the werdum one and even that was pretty good, just too long That's because in situations where most fighters conventionally defend themselves, Browne will either a) attack b) cheat (Mitrione fight was definitely ugly, but it was also memorable and I wasn't bored by all the cheating) c) attack in a creative way that looks a lot like it might be cheating, like those elbows to various bits of Barnett's skull when he had him against the fence. Has he ever fought Struve? I'd like to see which of them is the least effective at being a 10 foot tall striker.

poo poo you're right, I think Struve has had so many comedy gold KO's that they all just blur into one and I assume he fought Roy Nelson a few times. Just went back and watched the KO in question, I guess Struve really is the P4P best waster of natural gifts.
