attackmole posted:MMA stats are literally the worst because the entire basis of most sports analytics is that you can quantify point return. An NBA bucket is two points, a guy runs past home plate that's one run. Satisfy this condition, you get this return that contributes to your score. There is no equivalent of that in MMA. Judging is arbitrary, and a Jake Shields AISH and a Roy Nelson haymaker are both a single punch that may or may not be 'significant' depending on if some fightmetric intern presses the right button. Two punches that are counted the same can have vastly different effects. I still maintain that the best illustration of the phenomenon is Lawler/Condit, where the stats are really, really lopsided, but the fight isn't. It's not because Condit is point-fighting or anything, he's throwing lots of stuff that hurts (you can tell because he hurts Lawler repeatedly) but he's thinking about the 4th punch he throws in a combination. The first three were to get you moving, to make you lean the wrong way so you don't see the fourth coming, while Lawler just throws everything really hard, trusting his timing and power to do the damage. Neither is inherently better or worse, and both used their styles effectively, they're just thinking about striking differently and thus the stats are almost useless in assessing it. I watched the fight as it happened and only looked up the stats the next day. kimbo305 posted:Dana cozy with Trump to prevent losing any fighters to deportation. "Mr Finland" And Gegard Mousassi were both born in Iran and fight out of Europe, they're prime candidates for that dumbass ban.

Julio Cruz posted:I don't know that Anderson is really that close to a title shot, there's probably 3 guys in line in front of him (Yoel, Jacare, probably Rockhold) and he hasn't put in a really strong performance since...Chael 2? Personally I hope Manuwa smashes him. Jacare will never fight for the title as they will never give him a fight that matters to set him up for it. He's managed to have two opponents that matter in the last 4 years, the rest of the time, they've just got him doing time trials on increasingly low ranked opponents.

I hope De Randamie vs Cyborg is a terrible trainwreck that ends in a draw or DQ or some poo poo and Dana just agrees the division was a mistake and we all pretend it never happened

I actually did not hate de Randamie vs Holm as much as you all seemed to, but I think it was a matter of perspective. I went into it figuring that if someone didn't knock the other out, it would probably be the most dire, tepid, unwatchable dogshit I could ever imagine, so it was considerably better than I anticipated (despite Holm's best efforts to meet my expectations in the later rounds.) Even without that, I thought it was better than the Teixeira fight.

I thought Holly vs De Randamie was a good fight that Holm kept trying to make bad. Obviously it was marred by the late hits as well.

I agree, it was actually a decent fight by the standards of Holly holm fights, de Randamie kinda brought out the fight in her except whenever she would start to get momentum she would press against the cage and do nothing for minutes at a time while Greg jackson yelled at her to separate

I don't care. I'm not mad. I'm not happy. This doesn't affect any fight I'd ever want to see. I've reached a zen-like state which precedes ascending to the legendary super saiyan.
