Did nobody really try to just sit back and counter against Cruz before the Garbrandt fight? I'd like to watch somebody else try it

I'd like to watch somebody else try it Some guys have tried it but never with as deliberate of an approach as Garbrandt, he knew all his setups and was beating him to the punch every time In fact often Cruz wants his opponent to be on the back foot, they think 'ill just sit back and counter' and then they end up biting on one of his million feints and whiffing. It looks like theyre swinging first but Cruz is in control of the rhythm. Cody was using his footwork to never be in the right place for Cruzs entries so it was clearer that Cruz was trying to lead and kept getting countered

I have a buddy who has no degrees and makes 100k plus a year in IT. I also have a friend with a computer science degree who doesn't break 30k. Joking aside, the industry seems pretty varied. But those "IT" folks at Dell trying to help people install a hospital server farm by phone, Christ. If this is the last time I ever talk about software licenses, I'm happy.

He had Cruz 100% down. A guy who just counters against a guy who feints a lot will look like Barão vs Dillishaw, Silva vs Bisping, or Hunt vs Miocic

It's my birthday tomorrow, so I went ahead and posted the GDT early enough that you can actually talk about it there when Kelvin misses middleweight by 14 pounds at the early weigh ins. https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3812877

Seriously though if you're going to short one of your organization's consistently exciting TKO heroes for doing his job and being a good company man too, while at the same time giving artem lobov his 5th or 7th fight, recuse yourself from all proceedingsSkip My Posts posted:hollywood jews are less generous than mobbed up casino guys? put htat down in your lil notebook

He made weight, did everything required except step through the chain link fence. Guys I'm starting to think UFC contracts are really unfair. I wonder if someone will ever leak their UFC contract.

Speaking of money, what ended up being the upshot of the Reebok deal? I vaguely recall that UFC's justification was that it was going to even out merchandise/sponsorship money so the lower tier guys got more or at least the same somehow? Which I'm assuming did NOT happen.

Well that sucks, but I'm guessing that UFC fighters are about as allergic to the idea of a union as pro-wrestlers are.

Some lawyer tried to start a union, instead a bunch of fighters decided to join an association, which will have none of the benefits a union would have and that the UFC can legally ignore, that is run by a scumbag who ran another MMA organization in the past but i'm sure definitely has the fighters' best interests at heart
