Unfunny Poster posted:It was a single kick that caused his knee to blow out. I wouldn't say that's an rear end kicking and just a freak accident like when Silva broke his leg in the rematch. It's a loss sure but it's still a random, unintended injury that stops the fight before either guy is expecting it. That's why I also mentioned the times Condit got punched really hard.

Tezcatlipoca posted:That's why I also mentioned the times Condit got punched really hard. Except when watching the match on Fight Pass just now, Woodley & Condit are landing hard shots on each other with just their punches. Edit - Like the entire time they're on the ground after Woodley lands on Condits knee, Condit has guard and is throwing a bunch of punches while Woodley just hugs him and eats them. Woodley has power sure, but he wasn't in a full on "I'm kicking this guys rear end" mode like he was against say Lawler or the times he dropped Thompson in both fights.

I haven't watched it since the fact but I remember thinking condit was clearly losing and was happy when his knee blew out because I didn't want to see Woodley win unambiguously. Condit would have won is what I'm saying

I'd ask the grappling thread but they seem pretty goal oriented right now. Can someone define, "The Funk." I can't, but I think I can. Show me the videos that demonstrate, "The Funk." I want that.

Frankie Edgar has nothing for Aldo. The first fight was close but it was definitively Aldo's. The second wasn't close. One punch in a 13 second fight seems to have made people forget that Aldo is a monster. Edgar at 135 would be interesting though, make it happen.

Based off typical "losers vs losers" matchmaking, I'd be down with any of the following for Yair: Jeremy Stephens Mirsad Bektic Chas Skelly

Tezcatlipoca posted:I want to see Edgar at 135 just to see what it looks like when he has a size advantage. More like a size equivalency. He's taller than like, Lineker, Assuncao and Jimmie Rivera, but their reach is about the same. TJ's roughly the same size. Dom is taller, so is Cody, but Cody has stumpier arms.

Tony Ferguson and Aljamain Sterling are two other funk wrestlers in mma. El Cucuy especially rolls all the time for no reason and it is cool as gently caress.

The short version too is that "funk" in "funk wrestling" is basically "it stinks" - i.e. it's wrestling that isn't pretty, traditional technique, usually more looking like random spastic sprawling, but it works and it's more technical and deliberate than seeming at first glance. That merkel that the grappling thread got into a month ago is "a funk."

Its totally normal and not weird, thats why it happens almost never

here are a lot of gay words about Stipe I was figuring he deserved to be the favorite in this fight because the first one was super close and Stipe has shown better ability to adjust in the past than JDS has. Each of them got beaten up in the first fight because of a specific bad habit, JDS backing into the cage and Stipe dropping his hands when he punches, and I figured neither would be able to change those habits much. So it was a matter of how they would adjust their game plan. JDS went with the attrition strategy that won the first fight but added leg kicks. That was a really good idea and likely to be successful against Stipe, but Stipe's adjustment was not trying to wrestle after JDS shut down his wrestling the first fight. I dunno whether JDS chin has gotten worse or whether the KO just came from Stipe headhunting more.
