As a fan of Chris Wideman I can confidently say I hope he retires

On one hand I'm still glad I didn't buy 261 because 15,000 people in an arena during a pandemic is disgusting and wrong, but on the other hand WOW THIS loving CARD

Yeah on paper it looked "ok pretty good" and in execution was great save for the Shevchenko/Andrade fight because it was fairly lopsided Usman has easily solidified himself as an all time great.

Mekchu posted:Yeah on paper it looked "ok pretty good" and in execution was great save for the Shevchenko/Andrade fight because it was fairly lopsided I'd debate that about Usman simply because Welterweight is in kind of a weak spot at the moment. Usman's really loving good, and his transformation from 'solid wrestler' to 'Dudley from Street Fighter 3' is impressive as hell, but he's stuck in a period when there's few to really demonstrate it on.

BlindSite posted:Chris Weidman is about to turn 37 (in june) - Silva took a year and a month to come back from his leg break. So he'll be at least 38 before he's back in the ring. That's probably it for him right? On the plus side Chris didn't get any brain damage this fight which is a change from his standard fight since he lost the belt.

TheKingslayer posted:It's like watching 90s heavyweight boxing again. Nearly every hit was knocking sweat off dudes like that. I was trying to remember where I'd seen that happen before and yes, it was my childhood. Great loving card. Shame to see Zhang put away without much back and forth, but it was pretty loving impressive. Looking forward to Roses international MMA initiative. Didn't expect to see that in the weidman fight. I think its the second part of a curse. We'll see if Uriah smashes his shinbone on someone in the twilight of his career. Anderson Silva may have insulted a witch, or possibly Dana did. More likely that dana and the ufc got hexed though. Wanna see that fuckin x ray. Poor old jimmy crute huh. loving critical hit. His leg was so loving jacked. Why does something like that not happen to habitual kick checkers, like hunto and the gang? Has the calf only really become fair game recently or is it taking advantage of angles where a check is more difficult in the first place? I think Smith got away with that one, I thought I saw Crute catching him in round 2 maybe? Impressive performance. I didn't think Shevchenko was going to handle Andrade quite as easily, but shes big at that weight and just eminently competent. Impressive in its lopsidedness. Shes frustratingly far ahead of the competition at 125 and I doubt she'll ever agree to fight amanda again at 135 unless it really is like, her last hurrah before retirement. What to do with womens 125? Masvidal got what was coming to him it was spectacular. Usmans extremely impressive at 170. I wonder what he'd be like at 185? He's six foot so he's not immediately dwarfed by most guys. He should fight weidman in 5 years at 185.

Even if you are checking toward their ankle, there's less chance the instep will wrap around and hit the muscle behind your shinbone. That's what happened here, Smith's instep dug into the tendons and hamstring behind the knee.

The way Rose threw that head kick in so quickly and nonchalantly was aces. I thought Smith was looking good on the feet but it was hilarious when he was easily taken down by one legged Jimmy. Usman is scary now. I thought he looked a little wild and less composed at the end of round one, but then he immediately murdered Jorge shortly after. What an insane night.

you know things are loving atrocious when Jake Paul is the good guy in the argument, and is making a not only valid point, but the right one. hosed to think that if weidman had snapped his leg in the days leading up to the fight in training, he'd have almost no chance of the ufc actually paying for the life altering surgery he requires. and to add on to that, it's only an assumption at this point that the ufc have actually paid for and facilitated weidman's surgery because it happened during the fight. "independent contractors" and all that. dudes get injured at press events for the ufc or have their fights pulled at the last second and have to fight tooth and nail for the pittance show money which is already mostly spent.

Shumagorath posted:I never liked him because he beat some of my favourite fighters and I'm spiteful like that, but he's just an athletically gifted empty vessel for Serra-Longo who never has and never will have an iota of self-doubt, and that's going to result in a further and ugly decline. The best thing I can say about him is that he never popped positive when taking lots of short-notice fights in an era where juice was rampant. The one observation that gives me pause on him is how hard his decline correlated to the IV rehydration ban. I feel like he looked much bigger in the Silva and Rockhold fights than he has in his more recent ones.

crepeface posted:wow rob doesn't want the izzy fight, guess it has to be vettori That isn't fair to Bobby Knuckles. His reasons why are valid on why he isn't taking the fight. quote:"More or less, I was offered the fight about an hour after my fight with Gastelum," Whittaker said. "There was just no way, physically, I could do that. Not only do I have injuries from that last fight to deal with, I have to fly home to Australia, and then two weeks in [mandatory] isolation. I have to see how my body was feeling, and then I'd have to prepare; all by June. It was impossible."

I feel like he looked much bigger in the Silva and Rockhold fights than he has in his more recent ones. Yeah, he immediately announced that he would drop some weight due to the IV-ban, and then went straight on to lose his next three fights. The ban took place in October 2015 and his first fight afterwards was Rockhold in December. Correlation does not equal causation, but it sure was some correlation all right.

Brut posted:Can't say I remember him throwing too many leg kicks, lots of head kicks though. His mixup high kicks are a pretty big part of his standup. Might eat into his gas a lot, but I like them. Freudian slippers posted:Correlation does not equal causation, but it sure was some correlation all right. And until it was banned, IV rehydration could have been completely clean, right? Like rehydrating quickly has significant value to weight cut recovery outside of masking/messing with drug detection. Just saying that it shouldn't necessarily cast a big shadow of doubt on someone who otherwise stood out in not being afraid of testing.
