The rumours weren't that bisping beating was on the cell tech but rather that he was on epo or similar due to his freakish cardio and dead guy resting heart rate. Then usada came around and he gassed real bad against one or two people who were real bad.

So I tried to make myself as a Middleweight punch kick champion. I think I got the belt without a loss. But my CAF looked like me, in shape, from the neck down only. That's also being generous. His face looked like that dumb fucker that won TUF and kicked out a window.

P. S. - Do people give a gently caress about rankings now? Seems like a lot of folks here do.

I'm not good at quoting fatherdog as fatherdog, but he said something to the effect of even if we think the rankings are stupid, the matchmakers use them, so they actually matter.

I really hope Korean Zombie gets to fight for a title one more time. He looked so good in his comeback and stuffed the takedowns easily before the KO. I could see a title fight happening now that he's had all that time to get healthy and stay in shape.

She's fighting Randa Markos, who she and Felice Herrig bullied on TUF, making it a sort of grudge match. Also relevant is that Claudia Gadelha was talking poo poo about how Carla turned down a rematch because she's afraid to take a difficult fight, so maybe Carla only wants a fight she thinks she will definitely win.

Esparza has publicly talked about her money issues too, even going so far as to sell her Harley Davidson motorcycle she won from TUF on instagram. It might be a case of needing a fight regardless of opponent. To be honest, though, her being ranked #3 is kind of bullshit - she's only fought twice in the last two years and one of them was an exceedingly thorough rear end kicking from Joanna Champion.

carla esparza has money problems? you don't say?

i think round 4-5 of his fight with aldo is a really big what-if because he was starting to turn it on at the end of round 3 and aldo is a notorious gasser in the later rounds in fights where he's pressed. zombie is very very good at finishing fights. who knows.

Aldo had just gone five rounds with Edgar the fight before without ever being in trouble. And went five with Lamas and Mendes after.

It doesn't seem to be a current issue for him though. He was fine for the second Frankie fight, for the second Mendes fight, he won the first four of the Lamas fight, then you have the TKZ fight and before that the Edgar Mendes first fights and then Kenny and Hominick.

and yet the only loss he's ever had was a flash ko in the opening seconds of a fight against one of the greatest power punchers in the history of the division. i don't think going 5 rounds is detrimental to aldo's ability to win.

That was my point. Even when he 'gassed', Aldo has had no trouble winning decisions.

And he looked nothing short of perfect in the second Edgar fight. If gas was a problem for Aldo, it's got no bearing on his current form.

i don't disagree. that just wasn't really coming through in your previous posts. he definitely tires somewhat, it's just never been a problem at all.

One thing I do remember about the TKZ/Aldo fight is that both of them got injured from that fight. Aldo's foot was broken in the first round, and then of course it ended after TKZ's shoulder got separated. Who knows what else was wrong with them going into the fight too. I just have a good feeling that Zombie can go on one last run after he had all that time to heal, I hope I'm right :)

My position is he has visibly slowed in the later rounds in more fights than the hominick fight. Despite slowing, he is usually well in control of the fight at that point, as evidenced by his numerous five round decision victories.

And Edgar won the first time :D

He lost and it wasn't close. Then he lost even worse the second time. It is a reversal of Edgar's fights with BJ.

Yeah, if nothing else I think TKZ's gameplan was to turn up the pace in the later part of the fight where Aldo would at the very least not be as fresh as he is in the earlier rounds. The broken foot made things interesting because it opened up a lot of options for TKZ and it looked like the momentum was starting to swing his way before his shoulder fell off. I still think it's a pretty interesting fight. TKZ probably needs to take another fight or two to firmly settle himself in the now-stacked featherweight division, though.

I straight up quit the career mode yesterday because during one of my training camps they gave me a pop up that said an old friend is being annoying at your training camp and asking too many questions! Which apparently meant my training for the next fight would be bad. I have a feeling the real career mode is the f2p ultimate team bullshit mode so I just started playing that via the "download someone elses character and beat them up" singleplayer mode and it's pretty cool so far.
