devilmonk posted:I’m not necessarily “impressed” by this, but what do you make of the difference between Conor’s reaction to the break as opposed to Silva and Weidman? Those guys were clearly in a different kind of pain, right? And they certainly couldn’t have done an interview with Joe in the cage. Conor was probably in shock I guess, and reverted to a primal rage/crazy person. I mean he was saying he is going to murder him and his wife in there sleep doing a gun gesture to the head. That is pretty low even for conors standards. If any other fighter is doing that post fight I don't see dana keeping them around. I think you can get a pass trying to hype to fight since many fighters have said they are going to kill them in the ring but he took it too a whole other level especially since the fight was already over.

Good post. Ain’t watching that vid though lol. Even though I watch a lot of fights, I have somehow managed to miss 100% of these gnarly breaks in The UFC. I was bummed that I couldn’t see the fight live, but all’s well that ends well I suppose.

Watching that you would ask yourself the question, 'Is Conor really that dumb that he thinks a screen shot of a DM notification without actually showing the message is going to convince anyone that Jolie was up to some shady poo poo? ' and then you read the comments to that tweet and you realize that you are in fact the dumb one for even questioning it

Josuke Higashikata posted:I'll always be disappointed that Conor knocked Aldo out cold with the first punch instead of it being an actual nitty gritty fight. Aldo was a monster, and in another universe, that fight's a barnburner that Aldo could have definitely won. If Conor's weakness is getting kicked in the leg then Aldo would have turned him inside out based on the interviews with the guys Aldo kicked talking about how they still need the fluid drained from the knee every now and then even years later. butros posted:Goddam that vid Bas posted was wild just from an early MMA days perspective. No gloves but shoes/socks, dude going for a spinning kneebar Yeah! Pancrase rules had no closed fists or elbows to the head whether standing or grounded, but open palm strikes were fine and kicks to the head if they were standing was ok too.

kimbo305 posted:This guy really belabors the point, but not much hard contact on the very last teep Conor threw: I don't mean to rag on you here, I think the debate is interesting and I'm fully prepared to accept that the damage happened earlier in the fight. That said, I'm not a fan of the video you posted. The elbow check may very well not have been a factor in the leg break and it's not important to me if it was or wasn't, but that video is... not good at proving what it says it proves. He claims there was no check because the foot goes past the elbow, when that's exactly how the technique is supposed to be executed. "It's obvious that the kick comes inside the elbow", yeah no poo poo? You are supposed to strike the ankle/shin from the outside as your turn your body. Sure, you're supposed to do it before it connects with your stomach, but that doesn't mean Dustin didn't do it. It seems this guy thinks you're supposed to spike the foot with the tip of your elbow or something? And since Dustin doesn't do that, he never performed the actual technique? And then he starts talking about Dustin's left elbow which is completely irrelevant? The Bas video is interesting and of course Dustin himself thinks it happened earlier in the fight, so that may indeed well be the case. But the guy you linked to seems to not understand what Dustin's actually doing. Again, this is not meant as an attack on you, just a critique of the video. E: Here's Gabriel Varga, explaining that he thinks it happened on the second low kick Conor threw, about 20 seconds into the fight: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sn44b99XZV0, so I guess the elbow check theory is losing a bit of steam.

That said, I'm not a fan of the video you posted. By the time Conor's foot contacts and starts retracting, there'd be so little speed left that Dustin wouldn't really be able to do that kind of damage in the remaining couple of inches he had left to reach down. So: - no video evidence of contact - video shows pretty slow approach of the right forearm such that it wouldn't be a factor if it did make contact And yeah, I dunno who cared about the left elbow, but he just wanted to make it abundantly clear that that was not a factor.

kimbo305 posted:I think the guy's unspoken argument is that if Dustin's left elbow were to have made meaningful contact, it would be a lot closer in that still picture and in the few frames he isolated. I believe the right elbow does make contact. However, seeing as it turned out the damage was to the front of Conor's shin and the elbow connects with the side, it seems pretty safe to say the elbow didn't cause the break regardless. The important part is that we all can rejoice in Conor getting hosed up. nordichammer posted:I love that Dustin pulled an extreme Power Move by telling the crowd to kiss his whole rear end in a top hat and then ended the interview getting cheered.

If I recall correctly leg kicks were a big thing Conor used in the second Diaz fight to neutralize Nate so a potential trilogy fight where he's too gunshy to throw leg kicks could end up quite a bit differently it seems. He was also on crutches after that fight because of all the leg kicks he threw I think. So either his legs are weak or his technique has always been kind of poo poo when it comes to kicks.

I don't know why Conor wants a rematch, he's gonna be too scared to throw volume leg kicks that hard so what is he going to do to adapt? Also, it took me a few days but I finally put together exactly what Conor's post fight interview reminded me of:

It wouldn't surprise me if he sort of forgot how to switch it off.
