Very well might be a coincidence, but my boy pretty Tony doesn't have a win under USADA's reign. His loss to RDA was before the announcement fo testing but the other two, more winable fights were after the testing was implemented.

CM Punk started training at Roufusport in January 2015, Pettis vs RDA was two months later. Makes you think.

just watched oliveira vs. jury which was oliveira's last fight back in december 2015. i have no idea where this year has gone. anyway i noticed that oliveira had a habit of bringing his guard away from his face and body which leaves a massive opening for a liver kick. while i was there i also watched oliveira / lentz 2 which if you haven't seen it is really loving sick and the second round is just some sublime grappling from nick the carny lentz. sick finish too. also, watch their first fight.

it was a close fight but the right person won the majority decision inri I agree with the whole numbers don't always tell the truth/not every punch is the same deal but I feel the same about hurt fighters, some guys get hurt and wilt, some are dangerous until you put them away SquirrelGrip fucked around with this message at 10:11 on Aug 26, 2016 |

No one really buys into that fight metric stuff. Its just trivia and only rarely a justification of someone's Joe Roganesque conspiracy theory of how the wrong person won a fight.

ehhh i can't think of a fight where fightmetric is completely loving wrong ie 'he never landed that many sig strikes!!'. it's guilty as gently caress as having no bearing whatsoever on how the fight may have actually gone however. basically its only crime is being completely and totally irrelevant.

On the topic of Fightmetric being a bad judge of a fight on numbers alone, watch this Big John/Joey Diaz podcast from the Jackson/Winkeljohn link onwards. This post was in the UFC200 newbie thread. homercles posted:On the subject of judging/refereeing, Big John McCarthy did a great podcast with Joey Diaz where he covered a bunch of topics you'd expect a referee to cover. The podcast was 3 months ago but was recently uploaded to youtube, so:

The Co-Main Event - my favorite, has cool segments like "Are you loving kidding me?" You're Welcome! With Chael Sonnen - my daughter is dying make it a Buffalo Wild Wings night Submission Radio - releases seemingly at random but usually has good guests UFC Unfiltered with Jim Norton and Matt Serra - hear about Matt Serra making GBS threads and loving his wife , but quite filtered takes on the UFC since it's the official podcast Phone Booth Fighting - Frank Mir and that Kris Angel lookin journalist, hear about Frank's fantasies of either shooting or punching an assailant and letting his daughter finish the job with a choke Sherdog Radio Network - has many podcasts under its banner including Neutral Corner with Thugjitsu master Yves Edwards IT'S TIME - Bruce Buffer man Anik and Florian - 209 MMA Hour - beards, beef, and the biggest guests Joe Rogan Experience - his episodes with fighters are among his best imo and the fight companions can be entertaining, Joey Diaz cocksucka The Fighter & The Kid - an exfighter and a 50 year old suck each other off and talk about fights sometimes Avoid: MMA Roasted - I guess humor is subjective, but oof Morning Wood with Deez Nuts - gently caress Tyron Woodley MMA Junkie - love 90s soundblast radio? Like I said, depends on who you're into.

Its been a while since I've watched a TUF season but I like the gimmick on this one so I probably will. It also seems like they're gonna spend the whole time giving MMDJ his props so I'm on board.

In all honesty "We rounded up every flyweight champion in the country, the best of the best, and they're going to compete to see who gets the privilege of receiving a life-altering beating from Mighty Mouse" is a compelling concept.

If the Reis fight gets booked and the unthinkable has to happen where Reis beats Mighty Mouse, I hope it happens during taping of TUF so we can see the collective sigh of relief wash over the entire cast and both coaches at their Hooters watch party.

Pettis doesn't just fight southpaw. He fights opposite of his opponent so that he's in open guard. No matter his stance he works hard to give up a good angle for his rear hand straight to get a better angle for his rear foot high kick. It's a good spot to land a hook from, but he doesn't have a great hook. He also doesn't sit down on his punches very often, which is something he always claims to be working on but never seems to implement in his fights I think he's working with Jackson wink now so maybe he's habits will change. I did not watch the barboza fight also

Friends is on constant reruns here in Norway, and it's funny every time to see the storyline where Monicas boyfriend wants to fight in the UFC. Big John isn't very big, and Bruce Buffer is soooo young! http://thebiglead.com/2014/05/08/ufc-friends-a-look-back-at-the-one-with-the-ultimate-fighting-champion/
